In this rare, rights-managed state press briefing, President Vladimir Putin delivers a sweeping address on early-2000s U.S.–Russia counter-terrorism cooperation: pledging Russian support for American rescue missions, revealing intelligence lists on 500–700 North Caucasus fighters, endorsing Pakistan’s General Musharraf, and opening talks to update the 1972 ABM Treaty. Shot during the Bush administration era, this archival clip offers an unfiltered glimpse of post-9/11 geopolitics and superpower dialogue.
