He urged various sectors of society—including volunteers, NGOs, engineers, workers, and entrepreneurs—to contribute toward what he described as a ‘common victory’ or ‘total victory for Russia.’ Putin emphasized the importance of utilizing expertise gained during the ‘special military operation’ to advance both civilian and military technologies. He also highlighted the need to integrate veterans into economic, administrative, and social sectors.
