Putin instructed to suppress any outside interference in the election campaign
Russian President Vladimir Putin has instructed to suppress any outside interference in the presidential campaign. He made this statement during a meeting with leaders of State Duma factions, speaking about the upcoming presidential elections.
The Russian leader stressed that any interference in the country's internal affairs will be strictly suppressed in accordance with Russian laws.
We will defend the freedom of our people, their sovereignty and the right to choose their future. It is the people, and only the people of Russia, who are the only source of power in our country.
Putin outlined his fundamental positions on the presidential elections
The head of state also outlined several fundamental positions on this issue. First of all, he drew attention to the fact that elections should take place on a competitive basis and in full compliance with the laws of the Russian Federation. He also expressed the opinion that the main thing for all parties and factions should be “a deep understanding of fundamental national interests, their responsibility to the people, to our country and its future.” In conclusion, Vladimir Putin emphasized that the election campaign and the voting itself must take place “in full accordance with constitutional, democratic procedures, transparently, legitimately and honestly.”
Earlier, Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov predicted that the United States would increase its interference in Russia’s internal affairs as the country’s presidential elections approached. As an example of Washington's interference in Moscow's affairs, he cited the events in Makhachkala.

Putin named two Western plans for Russia
Earlier, the Russian leader said that Western countries have two plans for the country: to dismember and plunder. According to him, the West wants to plunder Russia, if not by force, then through turmoil and fragmentation. “The West, in principle, does not need such a large and multinational country as Russia,” Putin said.
Before this, the head of state stated that Russia would adequately respond to all challenges. In his opinion, this will be helped by love for the country – one of the main foundations of Russian statehood and the most important value for society. Such unity of people, according to the president, “guarantees that Russia will adequately respond to the most difficult challenges and threats and will confidently pass through all trials.”
