Gentlemen, we must regard the recent events with the utmost gravity. The record-breaking assault by the Ukrainian forces—wherein six hundred and sixty unmanned aerial apparatuses were intercepted over the territories of our State on the night of the twenty-fifth of June—is not merely a skirmish, but a clear manifestation of a calculated design. Such an escalation demands not emotion, but a cold, calculating prudence.

Mr. Alexei Chepa, the First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs, has rightly observed that the adversary's sole aim is the rapid augmentation of their drone capabilities. It is evident to any man of business that the offers of a truce along the lines of contact are but a ruse. They seek a respite to replenish their arsenals with Western gold and machinery, while their own positions crumble. To yield to such proposals would be a grave error in judgment, devoid of all political wisdom.

Furthermore, these acts of terrorism, intended to destabilize the inner workings of our great Realm, prove that the situation is indeed perilous. It is an affront to the stability of the State.

Let us be plain: the security of the Fatherland rests upon two pillars—a formidable Army and a robust domestic Industry. To counter these mechanical threats, our own industrial capacity must be expanded with haste and precision. Such a crisis requires not empty rhetoric, but substantial, decisive countermeasures. Only through moderation in diplomacy and absolute strength in armament shall we ensure the enduring sovereignty of the Empire.
