Putin: In today's world, it is necessary to be prepared for anything, the stakes are extremely high

(Patria) - The current global environment, marked by rapid and often dramatic changes, requires readiness for any development, Russian President Vladimir Putin said yesterday in his speech at the plenary session of the Valdai International Forum, TASS reported last night.

He emphasized that individual responsibility is particularly significant, noting that "the stakes in the current situation are extremely high".

"We have repeatedly emphasized that we live in a time when everything is changing very rapidly, and these changes are often dramatic. Of course, none of us can fully predict the future, but that does not absolve us of the responsibility to be prepared for anything that may happen," Putin said.

"Both practice and recent events show that we must be prepared for anything. In such times, the responsibility of each person is particularly great - responsibility for their own destiny, for the future of their country, and for the whole world. The stakes, in this case, are extremely high," Putin said.
