Putin reveals his old spy tactics, mocks western media & ruling elite: 'child killers…'| FSB| Russia

President Vladimir Putin delivered a keynote speech at the Bolshoi Theatre to mark the 20th anniversary of RT (Russia Today), lauding the channel’s global impact as a platform for “objective and truthful” news outside Western censorship. Putin praised Editor-in-Chief Margarita Simonyan for her leadership, especially during recent personal challenges, and commended RT staff for their “dedication, professionalism, and persistence” in “upholding the truth” in a world dominated by Western propaganda. He argued that, before RT’s founding, Western media monopolies tried to impose “false moral values” and a new civilizational paradigm, labeling Russian struggles against terrorism and for sovereignty as villainous.
