Prime Minister Vladimir Putin meets with veterans of the Great Patriotic War in Novorossiysk

“Society and the state should do everything in their power so that veterans can enjoy honour and respect and lead a dignified life. In this context, I’d like to say that it is our duty to make sure you always feel the moral support of society and the state. I’m deeply convinced that this is necessary, not just for our veterans, but primarily for our society as such, because all citizens of our country should understand and see with their own eyes that our state will never ignore those who work honestly, and, if need be, fight selflessly for the protection of their Fatherland, even placing the greatest sacrifice of all on the altar of common victory – their lives. And, I repeat, this is a powerful lesson for future Russian generations.”
