Text by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin.
[ColonelCassad] From Putin's speeches on the topic of the SVO.
1. He did not name the exact dates of the end of the Central Military Operation and the operation in the Kursk Region.
2. Putin is confident that the enemy troops will be driven out of the Kursk Region. In other areas, the Russian Armed Forces are confidently advancing and have the initiative.
3. The enemy is using the bulk of NATO armored vehicles in the Kursk Region. The largest cemetery of NATO armored vehicles is now located there. Putin does not see any military sense in the enemy's offensive in the Kursk Region.
4. Putin called the problem of the lack of payments and the status of a participant in the Central Military Operation for the soldiers fighting in the Kursk Region a mistake by the authorities and the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. This mistake will now be corrected. Everyone who fought (including conscripts) will be given the status of a participant in the Central Military Operation and will be paid all due payments retroactively. They will also make payments for destroyed NATO equipment. According to Putin, he did not know about the difference in payments for participants in the Counter-Terrorism Operation and participants in the Central Military Operation.
5. Putin does not know why "Oreshnik" is called "Oreshnik". Putin is confident in the combat capabilities of this system.
6. A large ring road similar to the Tavrida will be built around the Sea of ​​Azov. Its construction has already begun.
7. 300,000 people have already returned to Mariupol. The restoration of the city continues.
8. Kursk Oblast will be completely restored. 108 billion rubles have already been allocated. And there will be more.
9. 20,000 different objects will be restored in the new regions in the next 5 years. The money for this has already been allocated.
10. Well, it is worth noting the flag of the 155th Separate Naval Infantry Brigade, which is engaged in the liberation of Kursk Oblast. A number of other units and formations were also noted.

Russian President Vladimir Putin's direct line, combined with a large press conference, lasted 4 hours and 27 minutes.
The head of state answered 76 questions. Most often (14 questions) Putin was asked about a special military operation and events related to it.

By the start of the direct line, Putin had received more than 2.2 million requests. The head of state, in particular, answered questions about the progress of the special military operation, the development of the economy, the social sphere, and demography.
The president answered affirmatively to a question about whether he believed he had managed to fulfill the behest of his predecessor Boris Yeltsin and save Russia. The country was threatened with the loss of sovereignty, but it had pulled back from the brink, Putin said.
The head of state also stated that he cannot be completely happy until the soldiers return from the front and until the most important plans are implemented, including those related to demographic issues.
