{{quotebox-float|"Unfortunately we see that the ideology of Nazism in its modern form and manifestation again directly threatens the security of our country. Again and again, we have to repel the aggression of the [[collective West]].... It's incredible, but it's a fact. We are again being threatened with [[German]] [[Leopard 2|Leopard tank]]s with [[Iron Cross]]es on them. Once again, they are preparing to battle Russia on Ukrainian soil at the hands of the followers of [[Hitler]] and [[Bandera]]....We know that despite the efforts of official, corrupt propaganda by an unfriendly Western elite, we have a lot of friends all around the world, including in [[America]], [[North America]] and [[Europe]].... Those who draw European countries, including Germany, into a new war with Russia, and even declare this as a done deal, those who are betting they will defeat Russia on the battlefield clearly don't understand that modern war with Russia will be quite different for them. We don't send our tanks to their borders, but we have the means to respond, and it won't end with the use of armored vehicles."<ref>https://youtu.be/l-2egU4YhZA</ref>}}
