***Exclusive report from Russian Federation newswires of the President of the Russian Federation directly broadcast to the global viewing audience by GPA Project***
"I believe that the Ukrainian armed forces have no chances for success there and will have no chances. The same is true about other [frontline] directions. I have no doubts about that......[I]ndeed, their losses are very high, even more than 10 to 1 compared to the Russian army. This is fact.
"Let me repeat: the main thing is that there are no successes in any of the directions. The enemy has had no success as reported by the military."
On future of F-16 jets to Ukraine
"The tanks are burning, including Leopards. F-16s will burn in the same way, there is no doubt about it."
"Ukraine will soon completely stop using its own equipment as nothing will remain. All that they are fighting with and all that they are using - all this is brought in from abroad.......[Y]ou can’t fight like this for long."
"Of course, we see that Western countries are taking utmost efforts to make Russia sustain, as they say, defeat on the battlefield, strategic defeat and are doing all they can for that. We perfectly see that......[B]ut we have set certain goals for ourselves related to the denazification of these territories, related to demilitarization."
"Our defense industry is gaining momentum day by day. We have boosted military output by 170% over the past year and there has been a ten-fold increase in the most needed types and the production grows further.......[T]his suggests that we have a great safety margin."
"We hit military targets with high-accuracy long-range and high-yield weapons and succeed in this respect. It's enough to see arms depots, warehouses and barracks housing personnel, including foreign mercenaries destroyed. <...> There always follows a retaliation. We just avoid presenting it as breaking news very often, but this retaliation is sensitive and the enemy knows this."
"If these attacks on our adjacent territories continue, we will consider creating a 'sanitary cordon' on Ukrainian territory. They just have to realize where they are heading for."
