Russia will "get where it needs to get" during the special operation.

Axar.az reports that the Russian President Vladimir Putin made the remarks.

“The Russian army is pressing the enemy on all fronts, including the 'practical capture' of Konstantinovka in the DPR,” Putin said.

He also said that Western countries are openly discussing preparations for a war with Russia and increasing their military budgets.

“We see that while previously NATO countries limited themselves to supporting the Kyiv regime, they are now openly talking about preparing for a war with us and increasing their military offensive budgets,” Putin said.

According to him, NATO and EU leaders are using claims about an alleged Russian threat to justify higher military spending.

“The so-called pseudo-democratic West’s pattern of action is very simple: first, they create threats to our country, forcing us to take necessary measures for self-defense and protection, and then immediately accuse us of all mortal sins to justify their aggressive policies and actions against Russia,” he added.
