All we need is good will, and we have to start working in a way that considers each other's interests [with U.S]. In my view, this is a mandatory condition.
Vladimir Putin
Image
We have seen very clearly over these past years that there are quite a few people who are sceptical, or let us put it another way, are cautious about the development of Russian-American relations, but the underlying fundamental interests of the United States and Russia demand that our relations be normalised.

We have made mistakes! We were too late. If we had presented our national interests more clearly from the beginning, the world would still be in balance today.
Vladimir Putin

Vladimir Putin
Image
All people here have political rights, social rights, rights to employment, and no one should face discrimination, but our strategic choice is for traditional families, healthy families and a healthy nation. One does not exclude the other and does not hinder the other. I think this is a balanced approach and is entirely the right approach.
Vladimir Putin
Image
NATO and the USA wanted a complete victory over the Soviet Union. They wanted to sit on the throne in Europe alone.
Vladimir Putin
Image
Everyone must hoe his plot daily.
Vladimir Putin
Image
One of the most important tasks is to broaden the energy supply ... Energy determines today international security and social as well as economic development in many respects. In reality the wellbeing of millions of people is directly dependent in energy security.
Vladimir Putin
Image
In the referendum - which was still decided to take place by the Crimea's old parliament - the majority of citizens voted for belonging to Russia. This is democracy, the people's will.
Vladimir Putin
Image
In the soul of a Russian person there is always a drive toward some kind of lofty moral ideal, lofty moral values. That definitely sets us apart, and I'm certain it's in a good way.
Vladimir Putin
Image
This issue is not economic but political. I hope that all market participants interested in maintaining stable and reasonable world energy prices will finally make the right decision.
Vladimir Putin
Image
Prisons where people can't even work is the worst punishment you can think of. And I don't think we should put all convicts in such facilities where people are deprived of their freedom.
Vladimir Putin
Image
There are also fundamental issues related to what the current leader, President [Barack] Obama, said. I am referring to his idea about American exceptionalism. I am skeptical about this idea.

Every head of state and government in the world is allowed to have his opinion and to voice it.
