Even during the years of the Cold War, the intense confrontation between the Soviet Union and the United States, we always avoided any direct clash between our civilians and, most certainly, between our military.

More quotes by Vladimir Putin
I have called President Obama, and President Obama called me on various issues. This is part of our regular contacts, there is nothing unusual or extraordinary about it.
Vladimir Putin
Terrorists are always a threat to someone. If we'll be scared of them, it means they have won. But that doesn't mean we can have a devil-may-care attitude toward this threat. We must do everything to stop these threats and not give the terrorists a single chance to demonstrate their brutality and hatred of mankind.
Vladimir Putin
Under the international agreements, the Russian peacekeepers are committed to protect the population of South Ossetia.
Vladimir Putin
Brazil does have every right to develop its own peaceful nuclear programme.
Vladimir Putin
Russia does not have in its possession any trustworthy data that supports the existence of nuclear weapons or any weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and we have not received any such information from our partners as yet.
Vladimir Putin
I do not even know where Bill Clinton delivered his speech and I know nothing about any funds. Both parties simply use it as a tool in their internal political contention, and I am sure it is a bad thing. But again, we welcome the fact that somebody expresses readiness to work with Russia whatever the name of that person.
Vladimir Putin
I have always loved and avidly read the novels of Jack London, Jules Verne and Ernest Hemingway. The characters depicted in their books, who are brave and resourceful people embarking on exciting adventures, definitely shaped my inner self and nourished my love for the outdoors.
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
There is nothing in common between al-Assad and ISIS, they fight against each other.
Vladimir Putin
Therefore today we have an absolutely sufficient level of gold and foreign currency reserves in order to ensure economic stability and sustainable foreign trade turnover.
Vladimir Putin
I'd rather not deal with such questions, because anyway it's like shearing a pig - lots of screams but little wool.
Vladimir Putin
Europe and the United States are not the whole world.
Vladimir Putin
Europeans are dying out. Don't you understand that? And same-sex marriages don't produce children. Do you want to survive by drawing migrants? But society cannot adapt so many migrants.
Vladimir Putin
I often heard the same question: What place does Russia reserve for itself in the world how does it see itself what is its place? We are a peace-loving state and we want to cooperate with all of our neighbors and with all of our partners.
Vladimir Putin
The fact is that there was a long war in which Serbia and its capital Belgrade were bombarded and attacked with missiles. It was a military intervention of the West and NATO against the then rump Yugoslavia.
Vladimir Putin
Russia, as well as any other country, does not need dictators, but it needs equitable principles of organizing the state and society: just, effective, flexibly responding to changes inside and outside the country - that is what Russia needs.
Vladimir Putin
No one except for al-Assad's army is fighting against ISIS or other terrorist organisations in Syria, no one else is fighting them on Syrian territory. Minor airstrikes, including those by the United States aircraft, do not resolve the issue in essence in fact, they do not resolve it at all.
Vladimir Putin
Spying has always gone on since ancient times.
Vladimir Putin
We always welcome when somebody says he or she is ready to work with Russia.
Vladimir Putin
NATO and the USA wanted a complete victory over the Soviet Union. They wanted to sit on the throne in Europe alone.
