Putin congratulates Russians on International Women's Day

On March 8, Russian President Vladimir Putin congratulated Russian women on International Women's Day.

The Head of State stressed that women strive to achieve more and become better, achieve amazing success in various fields of activity, and become real defenders. He drew attention to the fact that a lot of things in life are based on talents, creative energy, love and the ultimate responsibility of women.

"You can control the most important thing — the miracle of the birth of a new life. And the sensitivity and generosity of a mother's heart, the warmth of maternal love transform and beautify the world around us. Being a mother is a great happiness and at the same time difficult, strenuous work," the president added.

According to Putin, Russia intends to continue to do everything so that mothers and families with children, especially those with many children, feel the necessary support and see that their interests are at the center of the country's attention.

The Russian leader also addressed women whose beloved men, husbands, fathers, and brothers are protecting Russia's future on the front line as part of a special military operation. According to him, sincere participation, care, love and loyalty give the fighters strength, strengthen their spirit and "believe that the truth, and therefore victory, is on our side."

"I repeat, we always admire your beauty, tenderness, and charm. I would like to wish you success, health and well-being. All the best to you and your loved ones. Be happy with those who are dear to you. Happy International Women's Day," Putin concluded.

"On the outside, we may be made of iron, but at heart we are girls"
