Speaking at a youth camp on the shores of Lake Seliger, Mr. Putin stated: "Russia's partners... need to understand that it is best not to interfere in our country. Thank God, I think that no one is thinking about launching a large-scale conflict with Russia. I want to repeat that Russia is one of the leading nuclear powers."

President Putin added that Russia is strengthening its nuclear deterrent and equipping its soldiers with the latest weapons to protect the country's security.

According to the Russian president, Russia's annexation of Crimea in March was crucial to saving the Russian-speaking community from violence by the Ukrainian government.

Mr. Putin said that the continued fighting in eastern Ukraine was the result of Kiev's refusal to negotiate./.
