More quotes by Vladimir Putin
There is always a chance [for negotiations with Japan], or else it makes no sense to talk. How great is it? Right now, it is difficult for me to say, because this will depend, among other things, on the flexibility of our partners.
Vladimir Putin
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
Russia is a part of European culture. Therefore, it is with difficulty that I imagine NATO as an enemy.
Vladimir Putin
I think the international community should unite to fight such inhuman phenomena as terror attacks and the murder of totally innocent people.
Vladimir Putin
This is also evident in Europe, not the dependence on oil and gas, but the fact that structural reforms are long overdue, and I think that the leading economies are very pragmatic and efficient in addressing the issues facing the European economy. That is why we keep approximately 40 percent of our gold and foreign currency reserves in euros.
Vladimir Putin
I must admit that we have yet to understand how [Donald Trump] will develop his idea, his pledge to make America great again, but I hope this will not hinder the development of our cooperation.
Vladimir Putin
People in Russia say that those who do not regret the collapse of the Soviet Union have no heart, and those that do regret it have no brain.
Vladimir Putin
What are we seeking to achieve? We are seeking to optimize budget spending. I believe that even in such uneasy times we employ a very pragmatic approach towards economic and social issues. We do address major social problems and deliver on our promises to our people.
Vladimir Putin
It is true that the role of the state in the Russian economy may be too big today, but from the fiscal standpoint, it is not always practical to do this in a falling market.
Vladimir Putin
I am never guided by a possible assessment of my work.
Vladimir Putin
For me, it [Crimea] is not borders and state territories that matter, but people's fortunes.
Vladimir Putin
Life would be boring without gossip.
Vladimir Putin
I am deeply convinced that no interference from the outside, in any country, even a small one, let alone in such a vast and great power as the United States, can influence the final outcome of the elections. It is not possible. Ever.
Vladimir Putin
I only had a telephone conversation with [Donald Trump], whereas [Shinzō ] Abe met with him in person.
Vladimir Putin
The Russians have turned out to be the largest divided nation in the world nowadays. Is that not a problem?
Vladimir Putin
I believe that the presidential term should be limited.
Vladimir Putin
We're no longer in the Cold War. Eavesdropping on friends is unacceptable.
Vladimir Putin
Nobody should pin their hopes on a miracle.
Vladimir Putin
Back in 2007, many people criticized me for my talk at the Munich Security Conference. But what did I say there? I merely pointed out that the former NATO Secretary General Manfred Wörner had guaranteed that NATO would not expand eastwards after the fall of the Wall.
Vladimir Putin
I can't believe that OMON [Russia's riot police] would hit a girl. I simply can't imagine it.
Vladimir Putin
