The president began his address with an excursion into the history of Russia and Ukraine, about the ties between the two countries. He stated that Ukraine is an integral part of Russia. “Ukraine for us is not just a neighboring country, it is an integral part of our own history, culture, spiritual space,” he said. Putin stressed that friends, colleagues, colleagues, relatives of Russians live in Ukraine.

The last televised address of the President to the citizens of the country took place on September 16, 2021.
