“Russia is not a country that can exist without sovereignty.”
— Vladimir Putin

Simplified Meaning:
Russia needs to be in control of itself to survive and thrive. This means that for Russia, it is very important to be able to make its own decisions without other countries telling it what to do. An example from history is how Russia has always tried to keep foreign powers from taking control of its land or its government. By being independent and strong, Russia feels it can protect its people and preserve its culture. If Russia were to lose its independence, it would struggle to maintain its identity and influence. Basically, for Russia, having control over its own affairs is as crucial as food and water are for survival.
