Russia stands essentially alone against the so-called collective West, represented by the notorious NATO. After all, all the countries of NATO, every last one of them, are now stepping up their efforts and doing everything possible to bring the war unleashed against Russia to a victorious conclusion. <...> And they all thought that they would rapidly achieve a strategic defeat for Russia. They have achieved no such thing, and they never will!

I will reiterate: rather than simply restoring and repairing everything that was destroyed or damaged, we must lay the foundation for a thorough transformation of Donbass and Novorossiya's economy and industry. We must ensure that all the facets of these regions gain a development boost, so that people see real changes for the better. This is a key task for our entire country, and it must be solved without fail.
