More quotes by 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 think I have the right to determine the political future of Syria, be it with or without al-Assad. This is for the Syrians themselves to decide. Nobody has the right to claim the rights that belong to the people of another country.
Vladimir Putin
A foreign threat is useful to put things in order in one's own camp, to make one's allies follow the bloc discipline. Iran does not fit this role too well, and it is very tempting to revive Russia's image of the enemy. But nobody in Europe is afraid anymore.
Vladimir Putin
Nuclear weapons and other weapons are the means to protect our sovereignty and legitimate interests, not the means to behave aggressively or to fulfil some non-existent imperial ambitions.
Vladimir Putin
Without Russia's contribution, prices would rise even more. Some members of the EU meet 90% of their demands for gas with the help of Russian hydrocarbons and have no complaints so far. Everybody is happy. Russia is a reliable partner and has never failed her partners in Europe, even in the hardest times of its economic development.
Vladimir Putin
Russia is the biggest country in the world. It would be very difficult to surround it, and the world is changing so fast that it would basically be impossible, even in theory.
Vladimir Putin
Their [the U.S.’s] defense budget in absolute figures is almost 25 times bigger than Russia’s. This is what in defense is referred to as ‘their home — their fortress.’ And good for them, I say. Well done!
Vladimir Putin
No doubt, the United States and the American people are a gear country and a great people. Nobody disputes this, but talking about exceptionalism is way too much, and this is creating certain problems in relations, and not only with Russia, as I see it.
Vladimir Putin
Democracy means the power of the people and the possibility of influencing the governing parties. Russia had had enough experience with a one-party-system - we will not go back there.
Vladimir Putin
The climate is changing. This year we have come to understand this when we faced events that resulted in fires.
Vladimir Putin
Russia will not take part in any field operations on the territory of Syria or in other states at least, we do not plan it for now. But we are thinking of how to intensify our work both with President al-Assad and our partners in other countries.
Vladimir Putin
Yes, life in Chechnya so far looks more like a life after a natural disaster.
Vladimir Putin
If Britain pursues a more independent foreign policy, it might be possible then. And if it is guided by commitments to its allies and considers this to be of a bigger national interest than its cooperation with Russia, so be it.
Vladimir Putin
No one wants the United Nations to suffer the fate of the League of Nations, which collapsed because it lacked real leverage. This is possible if influential countries bypass the United Nations and take military action without Security Council authorization.
Vladimir Putin
There are many issues in the global economy in general and in the western economy as well: population ageing, drop in labour productivity growth rates. This is obvious. The overall demographic situation is very complicated.
Vladimir Putin
We will not allow the past to drag us down and stop us from moving ahead. We understand where we should move.
Vladimir Putin
I consider it to be the meaning of my whole life and my obligation to serve my fatherland and our people.
Vladimir Putin
Things are different in the international relations between states. In this respect, I am neither a friend, nor bride or groom [of the West].
Vladimir Putin
We conducted talks on border issues with our friends in the People's Republic of China for 40 years. There were also issues related to specific territories.
Vladimir Putin
Here we have 40 million Russian citizens involved in the sphere of agriculture one way or another. This is very important.
