Putin Says Weakness Is "No Option" for Russia


(MENAFN) In a firm statement delivered Thursday at the Valdai Discussion Club in Sochi, President Vladimir Putin underscored Russia's historical stance on strength, declaring that being weak is "no option" for the nation.

“We will never display weakness and indecision,” Putin vowed, stressing that this resolve should serve as a warning to those who hope to deliver a “strategic defeat” to Russia.

He further emphasized, “Our history has proven: weakness is unacceptable as it creates temptation, illusion that some disagreement with us can be resolved through force.”

Putin also took the opportunity to send a stern message to potential adversaries, cautioning them against "provoking" Russia. He warned, “it has always ended badly for the instigator,” a reminder that no one has come out ahead after challenging Russia’s resolve.
