The president says he trusts in divine grace to remain with the nation
Russian President Vladimir Putin has said he places his trust in God and believes that divine grace will continue to protect Russia.
The comment was made during the Russian leader's annual Q&A session on Friday, as he responded to a series of brief personal and philosophical questions.
"I believe in God, who is with us and will never abandon Russia," Putin said, after the moderator noted that every person needs something to believe in.
Putin is known as a practicing Orthodox Christian and an ardent supporter of what he describes as traditional religions. He has repeatedly argued that such faiths embody time-tested wisdom that remains essential even in the modern world.
