Because of the conflict in Ukraine, Russian society can be “cleansed” of “traitors” (the Kremlin).

Because of the conflict in Ukraine, it is possible to reveal who Russia's “traitors” are and to “purify” the country considered by the President of Russia on Thursday.

“In such a situation, many are traitors, leaving our lives alone, some resigning, others leaving the country. This is purification,” said Dmitry Peskov, spokesman for the Kremlin, that others violate the law and are punished according to the law.

Over the past three weeks, due to the strengthening of the Russian government's policy against those who oppose the Russian offensive in Ukraine, which began on February 24, a significant number of Russians have left the country, although unknown.

“But a lot of people want to support our president, and that's the majority,” Peskov said.

In a speech to the government on Wednesday, President Vladimir Putin defended Ukraine's military operations. He also compared the West to the Nazis during World War II.

According to Putin, the “empire of lies,” which includes Western countries, the media and social networks, will want to rely on the “fifth column of national traitors” to achieve anti-Russian goals.

Putin said: “Everyone, especially the Russian people, will be able to distinguish between trash and traitors, and they will spit as if they are flying in their mouths.”

“I am convinced that this necessary and natural self-purification of society will strengthen our country,” he added.
