Humanity is undergoing a crucial stage of transformation that encompasses all areas, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated during his address at the plenary session of the 23rd annual meeting of the Valdai Discussion Club.
"The world has reached a decisive moment of change in its development. And the issue is by no means solely about politics. Politics, as always, stems from profound changes," the leader declared.
In this regard, he detailed that "changes are taking place in every area: from virtually any technology to social structures; from climate to medicine; from military affairs to bioethics; from the future of energy to demographic shifts; and from widespread digitalization and artificial intelligence to entirely new models of economic development."
At the same time, he noted that the world faces a new threat stemming from technologies that reach a new level of mass destruction due to armed conflicts, rapid environmental degradation, or the loss of control over the technological processes set in motion.
Technologies offer fantastic prospects for progress and an improved quality of life, yet they also elevate the potential for universal destruction to a new level.

The events in Ukraine constitute an act of aggression by the collective West against Russia, carried out by the Ukrainian nationalist regime, President Vladimir Putin said during the plenary session of the 23rd meeting of the Valdai International Discussion Club.

We oppose any form of aggression. We are in favor of resolving all issues peacefully, through mutual agreement," the Russian leader noted.
