And of course, I am constantly working on the information front to explain what the Russian army did in Ukraine, where my word came to save us. Everyone is doing their best to relieve their own pain and reduce the pain of the other. If it can be said ‘to endure’, I endure.”

I am grateful to him for this.”

I applied to Ms. Emine to give us support on this issue.
