Putin: Russia Must Only Move Forward, Constantly Gaining Momentum
MOSCOW – Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that Russia must make great strides and pick up the pace of its development.
“We must move only forward, accelerating the pace of that movement all the time,” he said in his annual address to the Federal Assembly.
According to the president, the National Priority Projects, which are being implemented nationwide, are strategic, but it is necessary to work on them even now.
“We are pressed for time, I have said that on numerous occasions, and you are perfectly aware of that,” the head of state stressed. “We cannot waste it on more coordination.”
“It’s absolutely unacceptable to deviate from the targets,” he added. “These tasks are complicated, but we cannot ‘lower the bar’ of specific objectives.”
According to Putin, these tasks “correspond to the scale and speed of changes in the world.”
