 Russian President Vladimir Putin paid an unexpected visit to Russia's easternmost region of Chukatka Wednesday, two months ahead of the upcoming presidential elections.It's Putin's first ever visit to the region, where he inspected a year-round greenhouse and talked to local residents, commenting about the threats that Russian volunteers, who are helping soldiers fighting in Ukraine, receive online. Putin said that those who send them sit abroad and should better think about themselves, it. Doesn't scare us, Putin said. They all have way too many problems, incomparable with our problems. Even the leading economies of Europe are going through difficult times. We have growth, and they have declined. Russia has proved to the whole world that it's a self-sufficient country in every sense of the word, strong in moving forward, he stressed, calling it the main result of the last year. The situation in Chukotka is a lot. It seems to me that it's a threat, but why are they all sitting there behind the curtains? They work wide, often through automatic systems, they send everyone to fight. It doesn't scare us, even if they think about themselves, that tomorrow there will be a regime where we can learn to work hard, and then get over it. They all have problems with higher roofs, even those responsible with our problems. Even the leading economies of Europe are going through difficult times. We have growth, and they have declined. We won't talk about these details now. We will not be happy about this, we will not talk about it. The fact remains a fact. I was lucky last year, my family gave birth to the third child. It turned out that their dependence on us is more than ours. And the main thing that we showed ourselves, and the rest of the world, is that Russia is a self-sufficient country, in all senses of the word. Strong and moving forward. Confidently looking forward. This is absolutely the most important result of last year. Please, let's finish. Thank you. All the best.
