a future generations, we see defense of russia, reaffirmed me at that and they as much in human rights have good, we are wrong, we still and it is especially important. now when we are faced with this, sir, is when you might new lecture challenges instead of just saying, i understand that we owe here these important goals and the willingness to stand for our choice, our values, our freedom in national interests. we, we the story. nope, i don't mean i'm confident we the as we'll walk base difficult periods, which statement to you, we will become even stronger. and we will implemented to all the long term plans and large scale projects aimed at to treating the fugitive to. and that oldest video development goals, we need and stuff, but yes, i'm confident that the support and all of the center results family values and traditions will bring in union political, our c organizations together all the political parties together. all of us on the

you want the decisions that we made to develop the country to develop the regions must be a station tenants here, mazda 3 increase and enhance the well for, and the, the live quality of the russians. families though, but if that machine, we are open to strengthening goods, neighborly relations with all the countries that see russia as a reliable and on his partner. and i'm speaking about the global majority a little bit as i put them in. we do not refuse to engage and dialogue with the, the specing countries. it say that it is up to them to try to hinder the development of russia to go on with their issue. policy of aggression in all of the it is ongoing pressure on our country or the will arrive to look for a calculation and peaceful relations with our accounting. treat that we use to discuss a strategic known use by the stability and safety at least alex as possible. is focused on these creatures, but not from the standpoint of arrogance and exclusivity, but only just by you,

by what you want to use, respecting the interest with each other in so many of those. and we will work with our partners with others and silver and sanders will continue to work to establish the multi polar world ford or the equal and indivisible system of security. yeah, it's in the world that isn't with the rest of the lead. changing. we must be self sufficient and competitive to that. i see we must get it open. use a ryan pass for russia as that happened. and i'm going to throughout our history many occasions. she's with what i think you can will. you must not forget about the tragic cries, all the inner and the f shifts, and the pay is suzy steel. much that's gonna be fortunately, so our system must be strong and resilient. we ways of to any challenges and threats. what's the, what's in the next step? being this type of most insured, gradual development off of them, one just yet as an account treats of the unit thanks for getting picked on the trip she's doing, but we must have not stopped because that way you want to be stable the way must be

flexible. we must continue to make progress to move forward. we can see how the situation is in the society is changing. how you would like to be reliability, mutual, responsibilities, sincerity, honor, and cards. you are appreciated in today's society. i will make everything to make sure that the people who show you thoroughly, cuz it asked you have all of these who proved how loyal the yard to the motherland, to high offices in the country, in all the areas and in all the fields. but he instantly started with these tell me might use it to the to expedient. what i think we must think about, but continued many years to come thousands of years to come. we must raise new generations that will strengthen less money than incurring some of the counter trade lists. we must be develop the idea that all the, all these you asked me ties to preserve the oldest may city is leaving. can russia to skew music to develop the civilization united by the russian language in our

multi ethnic culture? friends you, which i will, you every things that i can and everything that we need to. this is supposedly at the funeral and what you're going to that you're trying to executive approved is your right. but it them. and i would like to underline the outcome. jason words in maybe just a large leaves depend on our unity in our what's commercialization and they see what is the defense and now where desire to be useful for our, someone to work and the best we can we get him up to get what and that's work hard that she is doing because we are now responding to our because always being 1000 years history, our ancestors who the a tech responses to this, begging you regaining kalonde because they were thinking about their homeland, 1st of all and to achieve my goals. i used to i'm, we can only hold them if we send together. we've our country with our people and

strong findings really going to sign in last night. in 30th 6 the amazing come positions and songs, massive heat pump to me is now we can hear a fire or 2 on or while as you can hear behind me, the ceremonial artillery fire marking the uh, the inauguration of the russian president. this is the 5th, an alteration of vladimir putin as president of the russian federation. and he just finished his speech to the russian people where he, thanks to the russian people. specifically, the heroes of the special military operation for putting their faith in the russian president to leave the country in a record numbers. in fact, 87 percent was the number of votes of registered voters and russia that put in was

able to win, which is the highest he has ever won in any election that he's ever run in. and uh, you know, this speech was really an extraordinary one. highlighting the plans that russia has going forward. vladimir putin said that russia is going to continue towards developing further the multi polar world. the said that a dialogue and friendship with the west is not off and off the table, but it's up to a western leaders to ends, their hostile on the hospital policies towards russia, and that future good relations between the western russia can only be based on a mutual respect essentially, he also said that right this, this a new, the selection that we just saw on the sonata ration of vladimir put and once again into power is just another representation of how the russian people have taken their faith and their into their own hands. and the future is going to be determined by the russian people and the russian people alone. and of course,

he also spoke with a whole lot about how cooperation between russia and other countries, the multi follow. busy is, is another thing that we have to look forward to in the future years of russian president vladimir, put in the next term and office. now, this is uh, he also said that, uh, you know, the, the main things that the country has to focus on, right? now, i made specifically the try historical moments that the russian people are living through is to be remain unified, work hard and to be faithful to the motherland. so that's basically a rundown of what vladimir putin said in his inaugural speech. according to what we're, what we're, what we've ceased to hear in the background, which is the end of the artillery rounds. said marcy, an alteration the president. it looks like the ceremony is coming to an end. and we've, uh, in terms of what's going to follow the an odd ration. it's important to understand that. um, traditionally every time there's a new presidential term,

the old cabinet presidential cabinet ministers is resigned. and a new one has to be formed by the new president. and what's interesting about this round is that it follows the 2020 constitutional reforms that took place in russia, which essentially make it so that this is going to be the 1st time that it presidential a cabinet of ministers is going to have to be confirmed by the state duma. so this is a process that may or continue according to political experts until the end of may . and it's the 1st time that this is going to happen in the history of the contemporary russia. is that the only new thing we're seeing here in this election cycle in terms of the a record, a record breaking instance in the history of modern rusher. because we also have to understand that not only we did vladimir putting receive over 87 percent of the vote at a record breaking figure for him personally. but we also saw 77 percent turn out for these elections of the russian population. this is the biggest, we turn out to

a russian presidential election and the history of modern russia. so that's basically a rundown of what we're expecting to see after this. an operation. run down to what fruit and said, and now we're going to hand it over to our correspondence who's actually in the kremlin right now, eager stein up. so we'll handle it handed over to him as well. absolutely done it before i continue. i just want to very briefly let you listen to the room, the modem, a still hasn't yet sets in here on the, the atmosphere before the, you know, duration was very chat to you. do is conversations that were in the and people who didn't see each other colleagues for a little, maybe a long time. they had a chance to mangled to rub shoulders and to discuss a mattress in a very friendly and unofficial atmosphere of this time off to the you know, duration is still very, very quiet here, probably off the, the ruling this under us rule of the,

all the all totally pieces that wrapped up the parts of the in a new generation ceremony here in the crumbling palace. now we are in the alexander of ski hole, which was the pin ultimate hole on vladimir putin as well can rob a short trip from his office to the and rescue hole, which is right next to the right from me. and an interesting thing about latitude is the trip. is that bytes edition, it was broad costs on tvs. i'm not sure if you can see, but in fact, whatever he's doing right now, as he's walking through the clinton holes of the kremlin, it is still being broad costs. so people here, they are glue to the tvs still because the ceremony is still very much ongoing. now just to note that this particular venue now, of course, this was the, the starting point, so to speak. if we talk about the kremlin palace altogether. and this whole alexander of the whole,

certainly proved played to the grand just over the events because you won't be able to tell. but it was actually destroyed back in the soviet union and was only rebuilt in the 19 ninety's. but you can see, it's again, there's no way of telling that just by looking at the rules that decorated with paint marble and all the glitz and glistened around. these only befits thing, wealth a palace. so glad i'm approved. and again, as i mentioned, this was the printed ultimate tool that he, that he entered and paused through. and he woke from my left to my right along the red carpets. in fact, it was quite easy to track his approach even without that being rude cause to the onto tvs just by you just by the rule of applause that was slowly, gradually, kind of wavering upon us. and just approaching us, hold by,

hold by, hold by hold. so he walked over that and he walked into the and draped school on the that he to can of one more time. it's very special version of the constitution had been brought in that whole just before that it's a very special edition that is only used for the new duration. so then he addressed the nation, of course, of saying that the times that russia facing is facing right now quite challenging. but basically that is something like baptism through fire the, the even on is cost in the whole lava. so that is sort of was the idea, at least that's how i decipher. vladimir puts his message. that was the idea behind his uh, behind his address to the nation. and of course, he mentioned how much, how much reliability matters has now for the russians and uh well into. and

he once again made a promise to do these absolute best to deliver and well to live up to the expectations that the insides the overall i should have put on his shoulders . again, as my colleague don't quote to mention, just recently, it was a feasible this much. the most pressure, the history showed up to the police station to turn out a broke all the records and the, all these russians they over. well, mainly they over whelming like voted enabled lot of including becoming a president. now, something very interesting is going on the, so this is a, so i suggest we have another look at as the sarah many continues, the

orders are as is great if you're a pretty good young people, the president joe arrangements for the video to really say you're taking my girlfriend, so the president of the integration of the wind opponent, commander of the presidential regiment. colonel rugged hello. come rates. was the voice. right? gretch relations on the yeah. new verse maria, and your fault of the day of establishing the regiments oh, no. good. judgment for time should i say is the the

oh no attention. oh is this remember what a so ceremonial march or no, no we just don't see what what the top of yeah no problem. well, the let's get you to do so like yourself to go to the presidential regiment is some truly silly load,

true units facilitated years ago was the objective is ensuring the security west coast. the state leaders and guarding must go from the use troops take part and military rituals, protocol events, and guard. they turned on slaves and the 2 of the unknown soldiers associated 2000 . they take parts, endorsement, president, shows all your ration you see when they bring into the whole state attributes and symbols. the presidential well of the front and regimen has been a cornerstone of every new duration ceremony. really, it is one of the most renowned regiments in the russian army. and so as is vladimir susan to rob, any russian president off to the integration to hear the crimson palace. the president goes to greet tend to congratulate the, to congratulate the regiment. because like today, for instance, the dates has coincide with the 88 the anniversary of the unit.

now these are the final thoughts. rather, these are, these are the final moments of the 2 of you ration of loud them including this. yeah. so rachel, of course you've been monitoring, you've been following it from this to jeff, and you can bring us maybe more on the other thoughts as to what happened here and what to expect. the or rather i would like to give another i would like to throw to don't course have my colleague who's in fact just outside where i am right now at the, at the kremlin palace of course. so don't here's to you. the weather hasn't been great today, but the likely it hasn't been able to really spoil the events, has it the banks eager?

that's right. the weather has of course not been ideal, a very snowy day for may here in moscow. but of course, it's had no effect on the uh, grandeur and the importance of this event, really as we, as we just saw, i mean, as, as we discussed as well. i mean, this was really a historic moments. this 5th inauguration, russian president vladimir putin because of all of the because because of the fact that it was based on such a historic presidential election, really the record turned out of the russian population to vote for vladimir putin as their leader. and i made these seriously, you know, stores and of course, difficult times, it rushes, living through right now with a special military operation. and, you know, a record turn out of the russian population and record votes for russian cousins loc vladimir putin, the highest amount of votes that he's ever received in any other presidential

election. so far as this is really the inauguration itself, as we've seen, has uh, turned out to be an amazing ceremony. i mean there's, there's been a lot of important people in attendance as well. it's important understand that we're seeing at this ceremony, members of the federation council of russia, of the state, duma of, of the federal election commission, various members of political, religious, social organizations around the country. that really gives an idea of how united the country is across the whole spectrum under the vladimir putin presidential administration. and there were even 4 and the dignitaries invited to this event as well. specifically, the french in bassett, or to russia, who was, it was confirmed that he was going to be in attendance here, which is a bit of a surprising thing considering that uh, just several days ago, a manual mac ron was talking about the possibility of sending

a nato troops to ukraine, which caused a bit of a diplomatic problem between russia and the western countries, specifically france. but nonetheless, we've, we've seen the french and pastor at this event and, and now i, on that note, i think i'm going to handled over to rachel, who's back in our studio at the archie headquarters here in moscow as well. maybe she could tell us a little bit more about the events and the context around it. all right, thank you to donald quarter and you guys down of reporting for us on the and on your ration russian president vladimir, put in taking that 33 word, a oath of office, officially becoming a president of russia for another 6 years. and it's speaking for 7 minutes afterwards, pledging to do his best to preserve the interest and safety of the russian. people just stay with our to international. we'll have continuing coverage of it. russian president putin's and aggravation throughout the day and i'll be back in another half hour with much more of the day. talk new stories bye for now.
