More quotes by Vladimir Putin

My family suffered very major losses during the Second World War, that's true. In my father's family, there were five brothers. I think four of them died. On my mother's side the picture was pretty much the same. Russia has suffered great losses. And of course we can't forget that.
Vladimir Putin
I read papers, try to watch news programs on television, but, as a rule, recorded. During the day I have no time for that, so I watch something taped. As for the newspapers, I try to get through them every day. Additionally, of course, I look through news bulletins.

This is not only a matter of relations between Russia and the United States. In my view, any restrictions in the economic sphere that are dictated by considerations of political expediency are extremely harmful for the world economy as a whole. This destroys unity and the rules of the game.
Vladimir Putin
Ukraine is the closest country to us. We have always said that Ukraine is our sister country and it is true. It is not just a Slavic people, it is the closest people to Russia: we have similar languages, culture, common history, religion etc.
Vladimir Putin
The UN, of course, must also adapt to modern demands and take into account the reality of the modern world in its work.
Vladimir Putin
International terrorists who pursue completely mad objectives such as establishing a world caliphate or something of the sort, are quite adept at disguising their real aims as a struggle for independence in Chechnya.
Vladimir Putin
Then, the specialists themselves, probably believe that in the course of EU expansion, for example, some elements concerning the readiness of some economies to enter the Eurozone have not been taken into account.
Vladimir Putin
Unfortunately, the relations between the United Kingdom and Russia have not developed in the best possible way however, it has never been our fault. It was not we who decided to discontinue relations with the United Kingdom it was the UK who preferred to freeze our bilateral contacts in various fields.
Vladimir Putin
However, crisis in world trade is, among other things, the result of using political tools in competition or simply for achieving political objectives with the help of economic restrictions.
Vladimir Putin
If I said that oil production would collapse I was wrong.
Vladimir Putin
