I am the wealthiest man, not just in Europe, but in the whole world. I collect emotions.
Vladimir Putin
Image
Very interested in expanding the number of participants who will take part in laying the new gas pipeline in Europe.
Vladimir Putin
Image
Indeed, that is exactly what they [the Arctic convoys] were. We know that the conditions in which they fought were appalling. Time and again they faced death in the name of a common victory and we remember that.
Vladimir Putin
Image
I am in regular contact with Prime Minister [Shinzo] Abe. We have met several times this year [2016].
Vladimir Putin
Image
We will work with any Administration and with any President in whom the American people have placed their trust. That is, of course, if they wish to cooperate with Russia.
Vladimir Putin
Image
I bow my head to the victims of terrorism. I am highly impressed of the courage of New York residents. The great city and the great American nation are to win!
Vladimir Putin
Image
We understand that the Iranian position is very bad because of the well-known sanctions against that country, and it would be unfair to leave it on this sanction level.
Vladimir Putin
Image
In Russia all people enjoy the equal rights, including homosexuals.
Vladimir Putin
Image
Now they [NATO and the USA ] are sitting there, and we are talking about all these crises we would otherwise not have. You can also see this striving for an absolute triumph in the American missile defense plans.
Vladimir Putin
Image
We may have more control, but my point is that, strictly speaking, Rosneft is not a state company. I think that this is an obvious fact, as a foreign investor has a 19.7 percent stake in it.
Vladimir Putin
Image
It is no accident that I mention our American friends, as they are always influencing our relations with our neighbors either directly or behind the scenes. Sometimes you don't even know who to talk to - the governments of certain countries or directly to their American patrons.
Vladimir Putin
Image
When Saddam Hussein was eliminated, the Iraqi statehood and thousands of people from the former Baath party were also eliminated. Thousands of Iraqi servicemen, who were part of the state's Sunni elite, found themselves thrown out into the street. No one gave a thought about them, and today they end up in the ISIS army.

Image
Let's recall Bosnia in 1995. As we know well, the European peacekeeping contingent, represented by the Dutch troops, did not want to get involved with one of the attacking sides, and allowed it to destroy a whole village. Hundreds of people were killed or injured. The tragedy in Srebrenica is well known in Europe.
Vladimir Putin

It's better to be hanged for loyalty than be rewarded for betrayal.
Vladimir Putin
Image
People in the eastern regions [of Ukaraine] are talking about federalisation, and Kiev has at long last started talking about de-centralisation. Order in the country can only be restored through dialogue and democratic procedures, rather than with the use of armed force, tanks and aircraft.
Vladimir Putin
Image
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
Image
I don’t regret anything. I did everything absolutely correctly.
Vladimir Putin
Image
Admire? No, I have never said that. I still appreciate Angela Merkel as a very professional and open person.
Vladimir Putin
Image
Everything will probably never be Ok. But we have to try for it.
Vladimir Putin
Image
The Chancellor [Angela Merkel] and the European partners would be well-advised to address the problems in eastern Ukraine more thoroughly. Maybe they have too many domestic problems of their own at the moment.
