Monsieur le Président! Mes troupes, qui ont défilé devant vous, sont heureuses de pouvoir rendre hommage au chef très respecté d'un Etat ami et allié. Vous connaissez la sympathie que l’armée russe éprouve pour l’excellente armée française. Nos armées constituent une véritable fraternité d’armes. Nous pouvons constater avec satisfaction que cette force imposante n’est pas destinée à soutenir des aspirations agressives, mais au contraire à renforcer le maintien de la paix mondiale et la préservation de ces nobles principes qui favorisent le progrès et assurent le bien-être des nations. Je lève mon verre à la gloire et à la prospérité de la courageuse armée française!
