Putin pointed to the great desire of the opponents to inflict a strategic defeat on the Russian Federation.

Russian President Vladimir Putin noted that the enemy is unable to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia, but they want so much that "they cannot live without it."

"It is not possible to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia. It just doesn't work out. But if you want to, they can't live without it. Or they think they can't. It is absolutely necessary to defeat Russia. They're looking for any way, any way, anything. They will bring themselves to some extreme point, then they will regret it," Putin said during a meeting of the board of the FSB of Russia.
