00:00And when I mentioned the crimes committed by the Kiev regime, I didn't only mean crimes
00:17against the Ukrainian people, but also crimes against our people, including in the Kursk
00:22region and other border regions.
00:25Well, of course, if you talk to military experts, both Russian and foreign, they call it a reckless
00:35adventure that didn't have any practical sense.
00:42That incursion in the bordering regions of Russia didn't bring any results.
00:49But of course, it is one of the crimes they've committed against the people, against the
00:56civilian people of those regions.
01:01And of course, it is the holy duty of the armed forces to squeeze the enemy out from
01:06our territory.
01:08And the military justice bodies must record all the crimes committed against the civilian
01:14population.
01:15Our priorities include maintaining the stability, strategic security, protecting territorial
01:23integrity and sovereignty of our country through the development of our strategic nuclear forces.
01:34And we will continue this work, creating new systems.
01:39The share of state-of-the-art military equipment in nuclear forces is now 95 percent.
01:48And the basic principles governing the use of such weapons have been updated, as outlined
01:55in the updated state nuclear deterrence policy.
02:00And once again, so that no one accuses us of nuclear saber-rattling, it is a deterrence
02:08policy.
02:10The Oreshnik Intermediate-Range Strike Complex has been a well-noted innovation.
02:18We have used it as a response to the Western long-range weapons being deployed in Ukraine.
02:28It was used in a non-nuclear form.
02:32And we must ensure this mass production of these complexes to protect ourselves and
02:37our allies.
02:38They are working on the deployment and redeployment of missile systems in Europe and Asia-Pacific.
02:47And we used to have a treaty which regulated these activities.
02:53But it has now no longer in force.
02:57Due to the actions of the United States, we have underscored many times that we will
03:03not deploy intermediate-range missiles until the United States deploy similar weapons in
03:10a region of the world.
03:13That was essentially a unilateral obligation undertaken by Russia.
03:18But if the United States start deploying such weapons, then any and all such voluntary restrictions
03:25will be lifted.
03:28And considering the situation, we have to take additional measures to ensure our safety
03:33and the safety of our allies.
