Russian President Vladimir Putin delivered his annual address to the Federal Assembly, or the State of the Nation address, in Moscow on Wednesday.
Lasting for almost 80 minutes, Putin focused primarily on domestic affairs, including pandemic control, health care and social policies. He also addressed defense and foreign policy issues.
Putin said the COVID-19 pandemic hasn't been defeated and urged the related organizations to work on epidemic prevention, maintaining the normal operation of medical system and vaccine production. He also called on every Russian to "get vaccinated".
The president addressed all citizens of Russia once again to stay alert. He asked people to take care of themselves and their loved ones and to comply with the doctors' and healthcare services' recommendations as closely as possible.
By asking all citizens to get vaccinated, Putin said this is the only way to stop this deadly epidemic, without alternative.
Speaking of the recent turbulence in foreign relations, Putin warned the West not to cross Moscow-set "red lines" in relations with Russia.
Putin said the unfriendly moves towards Russia have also continued unabated. Some countries have taken up an unseemly routine where they pick on Russia for any reason, most often, for no reason at all. It is some kind of new sport of who shouts the loudest.
Putin said ensuring peace and security and stable development for Russia is the meaning and purpose of Russia's policy in the international arena.
He said Russia is always open to broad international cooperation. But if someone mistakes the good intentions for indifference or weakness and intends to cross the "red line", Russia would take asymmetrical, swift and tough response.
Putin stressed that Russia does not want to "burn bridges" with anyone but will act fast and respond symmetrically when necessary.
"At the same time, we will have enough patience, responsibility, professionalism, self-confidence and common sense when making any decision," he said.
