DODIK: I MEET WITH PUTIN AND I KNOW WHAT HE IS COMMITTED TO

SAINT PETERSBURG, JUNE 19 /SRNA/ – The President of Republika Srpska Milorad Dodik stated in Saint Petersburg that he meets with the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin and emphasized that he is familiar with Putin's values and what he is dedicated to.

Dodik also said that everyone knows the special operation in Ukraine was a necessity in order to prevent the entire Russia and its core from being endangered.

"That operation was completely justified. Of course, there are casualties, but the fact is that the Westerners managed to encourage the regime in Kyiv to adopt a very negative attitude towards the Russian population, which is significant – abolishing the script, banning the language, seizing the church, seizing land," Dodik told RTRS.

The President of Srpska stressed that, from Russia's point of view, it was unacceptable to continue observing that situation.
