Putin Proclaims Invaders From Ukrainian War The New Elite

The head of the Kremlin is going to "hand over Russia" to them.

“The participants in the invasion of Ukraine are the people to whom it will be possible to transfer Russia," Putin said. In his opinion, in the future they will occupy high leadership state positions, The Moscow Times writes.

"It is from these people that we should form the country's elite in the future. Not one of those, excuse me, who show genitals and ass — well, the weirdos are also needed, let them be. But the real elite of the country, who can take Russia’s rule, are to be from these people," Putin said.

According to Putin, there are now 600,000 people in the combat zone, who "should become the basis of the Russian state." The “entire state apparatus" will be set up to help their self-realization, Putin said. "Fatherland needs people who have passed the crucible of combat tests are needed at all times."

Earlier, Putin had already called for "paying attention to the guys who are comming from the front. According to him, those who went through the war "look at life differently", and have different priorities and values.
