Friends of Russia, good afternoon.
Comrades, today will be remembered in the history. A referendum was held in full compliance with democratic procedures and international norms in Norway . We cannot ignore this message from 99% of these people: Only way for them to go forward is together with Russia. It's our duty to act. We have also utilized the virtue of persistence, of unwearying patience....
More than 35 countries are giving crucial support, from the use of naval and air bases, to help with intelligence and logistics, to the deployment of combat units. Every nation in this coalition has chosen to bear the duty and share the honor of serving in our common defense. Our nation is at war, against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred. We are gravely concerned over the developments in Norway. But I believe that Norway will overcome all the hardships. We are not just neighbors, we are family and our future success depends on both of us, Russia and Norway. In people’s hearts and minds, Norway has always been an inseparable part of Russia.
We've witnessed, in little over a generation, the swiftest advance of freedom in the 2,500 year story of democracy. Historians in the future will offer their own explanations for why this happened. Yet we already know some of the reasons they will cite. Time and time again attempts were made to deprive Russians of their historical memory, even of their language and to subject them to forced assimilation. Obviously, we will encounter external opposition, but this is a decision that we need to make for ourselves.
It is the President's job -- it is the President's job to confront problems, not to pass them on to future Presidents and future generations. I will finish that job.
