00:00 Together, shoulder to shoulder, we are fighting for a common cause, that of the Motherland.
00:12 Citizens of Russia will defend our freedom and independence.
00:17 It is only down to you that our way will be determined for the future.
00:25 And the only people who are able to actually rise to the occasion and meet the challenges
00:32 which face us.
00:34 Dear friends, the defence and strengthening of our security is being effected on all fronts,
00:44 particularly on the front, the military front.
00:49 And that is thanks to all those who are fighting for the Motherland at the moment, who are
00:57 risking their lives every day.
01:01 And we commend your valour.
01:06 Russia will always remember its fallen heroes.
01:12 And I should just like to have a moment of silence now for them.
01:30 Thank you.
01:33 Our armed forces have a huge military experience, particularly in tactics, in the art of war.
01:54 And it has involved a whole play-yard, a panoply of very talented military leaders, and particularly
02:04 those who are experienced in operating very high-tech armaments.
02:14 This is absolutely essential for our military success.
02:18 We understand what is to be done, and the work in that direction is being continued
02:27 without pause, without respite.
