Putin: Western Europe is, in fact, deprived of sovereignty, while for Russia the loss of sovereignty would mean the end of the country's existence.
"There are countries that exist quite easily without sovereignty. All of today’s Western Europe is, in fact, deprived of such sovereignty. There are many other countries that feel fine that way.
Russia cannot. With the loss of sovereignty, Russia would cease to exist in its current form. That is absolutely certain. And in order to safeguard our sovereignty, guarantee our existence, and ensure development, we must overcome the challenges that the times bring," Putin said.
