- Putin stressed the necessity of avoiding catastrophic scenarios, warning that weapons of mass destruction could be used and asking, "Can we be sure this weapon will never be used? We must keep this in mind."
- As what he called Western hegemony wanes, Putin suggested the global situation could improve, though he emphasized that preventing global escalation remains a critical priority amid ongoing changes.
