Putin on retaliatory strikes: Take a grenade from a Soviet soldier, fascist.

Speaking at the plenary session of the Valdai Discussion Club, Russian President Vladimir Putin linked Russian strikes on Ukrainian shipping to attacks on Russian and foreign vessels in the Black Sea. According to the head of state, Kyiv was the first to launch strikes against civilian infrastructure and merchant shipping.

The president:

The Kyiv authorities began attacking our tankers carrying civilian cargo. They destroyed 40 of our ships in the first 10 days, and about a hundred in total. And then we began to respond.

Commenting on the nature of the response, the Russian president used the phrase:

Take a grenade from a Soviet soldier, fascist.

The topic of naval attacks has surfaced in Putin's statements before. In September, he said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces had damaged over 100 Russian and foreign vessels, after which Russia repaired the damage. In early September, the president also claimed that Russian forces had only struck ships that, according to Moscow, were delivering weapons and ammunition to Ukraine.

At the current meeting of the Valdai Club, Putin also addressed the broader context of the conflict. He stated that the continuation of international conflicts in the coming years remains likely amid fundamental changes in the world order. However, he asserted that the global situation should improve over time as Western hegemony weakens. At the same time, the president called for preventing a catastrophic scenario.

Once again—we've been scammed!….NATO has expanded, and no one has planned to implement Minsk for 8 years!! He should at least be ashamed of himself once again, exposing himself as… not very smart.

[January]

Could you tell me where exactly these words were spoken?
Or was that just a sound you made out of your own irritation?

[Andrey Nikolaev_4]

Yes, they were heard in this speech.

This phrase could well be addressed to the author of the comment.

Yeah, you're the only D'Artagnan here.))

[Andrey Nikolaev_4]

At least it became clear to me long before the guarantor that no one was going to implement Minsk.

[Tagan]

This was clear to everyone. Even to the guarantor. You just didn't realize it.))

[Andrey Nikolaev_4]

Well, yes, of course—he outsmarted everyone again and everything is going according to plan, hurray!

[Derbenev Anton]

Well, yes, of course—he outsmarted everyone again and everything is going according to plan, hurray!

Don't be sarcastic, Vladimir Vladimirovich has been a member of the CPSU since 1975, and he knows what he's talking about Soviet soldiers.
We broke the standards
Fascist Powers
Kissed silk guard divisions
And, the shaft
With knotted fingers,
Near Lenin
In May
We went by the pole ...

[Andrey Nikolaev_4]

Why all this pathos? How will it help in the current situation? I know about Soviet soldiers without Putin—two of my grandfathers and two cousins ​​died in the war.

[NetKeys]

You're lying, little Cossack with a forelock. Your speech is foreign, and therefore stupid. The comrades here immediately noticed.

[Karabin]

Vladimir Vladimirovich member of the CPSU since 1975

Near Lenin
In May

This member spares no expense on either the plywood "near Lenin in May" or the center in honor of another member in Yekaterinburg. What's going on in your head!?

The expansion of Russia's territory confirms this fact.

[Derbenev Anton]

Russia is conducting a military operation in Ukraine not for the sake of territory, Vladimir Putin stated during his visit to China.

[Vladislav_V]

Well, yes, territories are a nice bonus.

[Derbenev Anton]

Well, yes, territories are a nice bonus.

At a funeral for a fallen soldier in some village canteen, you would say this phrase to the relatives of the deceased...

[Olesya Lesya]

How do you know what his plans are? The main thing is that Russia still exists and is alive!!!!! Well, in case you haven't noticed, let me remind you.

Did someone want to destroy Russia? Get over your hangover.

Nooooo... even the bears in the taiga don't seem to agree with this, and are coming out of the forest, showing their anger that his political force has used their image on its posters, advertising the most ineffective, indecisive and corrupt government in the country... (!)

Thank God that Poroshenko and Zelensky, along with the European Union, did not implement Minsk 2.
Otherwise, we would not have seen Donetsk, Lugansk and two other incomplete regions.

only these are often completely diametrically opposed things!!!

Andrei Nikolaevich was definitely deceived, but Putin knows what he’s doing and what he’s saying.

July 2022: We haven't even started the war yet
(from a speech in the State Duma)
October 2023: We Didn't Start It
(from a speech at the Valdai Forum)
I have said more than once that we did not start the so-called war in Ukraine.
February 2024: We started too late
(from an interview with Pavel Zarubin)
The only thing we can regret is that we did not begin our active actions earlier.
December 2025: This is not a war at all
(from comments to journalists before negotiations with the US)
With Ukraine, we're taking a surgical approach, carefully, so that... well, you get it, right? This isn't war in the literal, modern sense of the word.

Finally, they started to build bridges in Kyiv.

And in terms of energy too, we expect an active continuation.

Wait, you waiter—and in the meantime, you'll get a 15-20% increase in housing and communal services, an increase in all kinds of fines, a 12-fold reduction in funding for the fight against cancer, and other "goodies."

[Olesya Lesya]

And in your motherland, you might think (as in Europe), prices are rising even more.

Don't waste your time and nerves This bot was paid for during the elections and will soon disappear.

I've been banned from censors for a couple of years now, so I can't read your news.

[Andrey Nikolaev_4]

Okay, so you don't get off topic here, I'll write you up—for example, for my Tyumen region: "The increase in utility bills for Tyumen residents from October 1 will be from 17% to 27,9%. 27,9% is the maximum index for individual housing (with the most noticeable set of utilities or level of improvement for the consumer in terms of the increase in utility bills)," the relevant department previously explained to the editors of 72.RU. And here for the country for the year: "According to the Bank of Russia, the total increase in tariffs for 2026 could be around 17%. " And here about oncology: "According to information as of October 2026, in 2027, funding for the federal project to combat cancer in Russia is planned to be cut by almost 12 times.

tvgram.ru
Thus, 3,9 billion rubles are planned for the project in 2027, while 44,9 billion rubles are planned for 2026. In 2025, the project's expenditure was 148,5 billion rubles. "Is it good to live with your head in the sand?"

[Evgeny64]

After being rude to a woman, no matter what she said, I'm not even going to read it. I don't associate with rude people.
Previously, personal insults were harshly punished here.
We'll reach the level of "I cried" and the site will become pathetic.

[Evgeny64]

What did you want to say? Your whole nature, when you have nothing to say, is to simply resort to insults. It looks pathetic, a long-gone stage, an attempt to stir up trouble. If it doesn't work out, you'll remain unrecognized... and most importantly, unpaid, which is the most painful thing for all of you.

But what about atheists?
And that volcano won't wake up. It's constantly releasing tension through micro-eruptions. In short, that volcano won't be able to gather enough energy for an eruption because the crust there is so thin.

[rocket757]

Obvious or not... the harshness of the response, can it change anything now that everyone has gone full speed ahead, completely crazy?
It is worth reminding that "prevention," preventative measures, have often prevented much that is much worse and more dangerous....

So, shall we start hitting the ringleaders, or as usual - here you go, power line support, now you'll answer for everything!

"To be honest, I'll let you in on a major military secret: they simply struck (Oreshnik) where it was convenient to see the results. Our drones then flew in, into the barn they struck, and simply observed how the missiles were deployed."

[Vladimir M]

It's not entirely clear why they targeted the "sheds" specifically if they just wanted to see how the "breeding blocks" would fall. In this case, a dedicated firing range would be better, so they could then "measure everything with a tape measure" on the ground.
If the goal was to assess the damage, then again, "sheds" are not suitable - a completely different purpose for assessment is needed....

[alexoff]

It seems obvious to me that this is just a bunch of nonsense from the boss of the purported carrier. Like, he was explaining something quickly to a woman, telling her some nonsense, and then a minute later he forgot he'd even said it.

[alexoff]

It was said that the barn was just an experiment, nothing personal.
But a fascist power line support is a different matter! Come here, I'll smash all your insulators! I'll rip out your crossarms! I'll rip out your wires!

I wonder what the outcome of all this will be when the SVO ends... The result and the price... For everyone... and especially for the Slavs...

The bitterness is growing. Nothing unusual.
And comparing "they started it first" is not serious...

At Valdai, I most enjoyed the monologue by Fyodor Lukyanov, Chairman of the Council on Foreign and Defense Policy and Research Director of the Valdai Discussion Club: "We won't drive Chinese cars." The true face of the corrupt elite.

Just like today, women knitted socks and sent them to the front. But in Germany, they didn't do that. Their soldiers froze to death near Moscow, and no socks ever arrived from Germany. That's the secret to our victories.

"...the global situation should improve over time as Western hegemony weakens."
Quite the contrary, the weakening of hegemony leads to increased aggressiveness in order to maintain one's privileges. Generally, international politics is a balance of interests and capabilities among its participants. Interests are typically interpreted subjectively, as those of the ruling class rather than the country as a whole, and the assessment of capabilities often fails to take into account the capabilities of other participants in the international process. Calling for prudence in such circumstances is like asking wolves to consider the interests of sheep, and is seen as weakness and an inability to defend one's own interests.

[Mark Kalendarov]

The SVO began as a fight against the Kyiv regime...
And we continue as a fight with Ukraine.
And how are we going to end this? By liquidating Ukraine and sending the population on trainloads to Siberia?
And what kind of fascist would receive a grenade, the one in the trenches or the one taking his granddaughter to kindergarten?))

[Derbenev Anton]

The SVO began as a fight against the Kyiv regime...
And we continue as a fight with Ukraine.

On the eve of February 24, a critical and tense situation developed on the western border due to the covert concentration of strike forces from Nazi Ukraine. Dozens of NATO divisions, tanks, and helicopters bearing swastikas were ready to strike.
But as Vladimir Vladimirovich said, recalling his childhood in the Leningrad courtyards: “If a fight is inevitable, you have to hit first.”
And so, according to our theory, a preemptive strike was launched, and the bulk of the fascists were scattered across the Ukrainian steppes. But the followers of Hitler and Goebbels are still unabated. Since 2022, the EU and its member states have provided Ukraine with a total of €227,4 billion in support, including €3,8 billion from revenues from frozen Russian assets.

Hello, why are you going to Siberia by train?
Then, 39 years later, they will say that it was in Siberia that the first great Ukrainians appeared.
Just transit to Canada through Warsaw and that's it
