Vladimir Putin
I believe that global common interests are a good foundation for finding solutions together.
Vladimir Putin
Today, it is imperative to end this hysteria, to refute the rhetoric of the Cold War and to accept the obvious fact: Russia is an independent, active participant in international affairs. Like other countries, it has its own national interests that need to be taken into account and respected.
Vladimir Putin
