President Vladimir Putin stated that Russia would continue to direct efforts to military buildup in a meeting with graduates of a military university on June 21.

Russia values every page of the country’s military history and cherishes deeply the memory of heroes, he said, adding that grandsons and great-grandsons of the heroes of the Great Patriotic War are reliably safeguarding national sovereignty and security today.

Referring to the fact that Russia will further modernize armed forces, draw up national defence policies and rely on advanced science and technology, he stressed that it would keep developing three nuclear elements in particular, a guarantee for strategic deterrence and equilibrium in the world.

He added that decisions will be made by considering the recent trend of military development based on combat experience gained in the course of special military operations.
