As some of you know, Putin had a long talk with a group of Russian flight attendants. This is such an important statement that I asked one of our translators (thanks E.!) For the subtitles for the film. I also include a transcript below. In this exchange, Putin explains in some detail WHAT Russia is doing and WHY it is doing it.

Putin explains the military situation and why Ukraine may lose its future
Translated and subtitles: Eugenia
My question concerns the current situation in Ukraine. We all support your activities and the special operation that is ongoing there. Of course, the most important question that we have all asked ourselves one way or another is why this special operation began. Could it not have been avoided? We rationally understand and support your actions, but as women we cannot help but worry about our family, relatives, and those who are in Ukraine. We know that this does not apply to the civilian population. Nevertheless, tell us, reassure us: what can we expect at the end of this road? What will be the end result of the military operation in Ukraine?
