More quotes by Vladimir Putin
Russia will always remember the contribution [of King Fahd] in the development of Russian-Saudi relations, which in recent years were raised to a qualitatively higher level.
Vladimir Putin
It is wrong to make anyone into an enemy it is wrong to scare the people of one's own country with that enemy and try to rally some allies on that basis.
Vladimir Putin
Differences in approaches do exist, and in one short moment it is impossible to overcome all of them, but i'm convinced ahead of us we have a constructive dialogue.
Vladimir Putin
Everyone must be equal before the law, abide by it, pay their taxes and bear the punishment should they break the law.
Vladimir Putin
Are we not concerned, for example, by the growing danger related to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and missile technology? All of this poses a clear threat to the world, to the region. However, we have obvious points of convergence that are related to our interests.
Vladimir Putin
We must seek support in the moral values that have ensured the progress of our civilization. Honesty and hard work, responsibility and faith in our strength are bound to bring us success. There should be no place for despondency. The crisis can and must be fought by uniting our intellectual, spiritual and material resources.
Vladimir Putin
Russia should be an effective and competitive state with a sustainable economy, developed social and political system flexible to changes domestically and globally.
Vladimir Putin
If you are a Christian, you are in danger. If you decided to abandon your faith and become an atheist, you also are to be liquidated according to their concept. You are in danger if you decide to become a Muslim. It is not going to save you anyway because they believe traditional Islam is hostile to their goals.
Vladimir Putin
We have spoken on many occasions of the need to achieve high economic growth as an absolute priority for our country. The annual address for 2003 set for the first time the goal of doubling gross domestic product within a decade.
Vladimir Putin
Russian culture is multifaceted and diverse. So if you want to understand, to feel Russia, then of course you need to read books, Tolstoy and Chekhov and Gogol and others. Listen to music. Tchaikovsky. Watch our classical ballet. But the most important thing is that you need to talk with people.
Vladimir Putin
If Russia's interests and security are threatened, Russia will resist. Everyone needs to know that.
Vladimir Putin
My personal position is that society must keep children safe.
Vladimir Putin
We have seen very clearly over these past years that there are quite a few people who are sceptical, or let us put it another way, are cautious about the development of Russian-American relations, but the underlying fundamental interests of the United States and Russia demand that our relations be normalised.
Vladimir Putin
The most obvious risk was that the Russian speaking population was threatened and that the threats were absolutely specific and tangible. This is what made Crimean residents, the people who live there, think about their future and ask Russia for help. This is what guided our decision.
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
I like other sports, too, including skiing and swimming, and I am learning to play ice hockey now. But judo is definitely part of my life, a very big part, and I am glad that judo was the first sport I took up and that I have practiced it regularly and seriously. I am also grateful to Japan for this.
Vladimir Putin
European and American values do not fully coincide.
Vladimir Putin
It's better not to argue with women.
Vladimir Putin
Problems between countries always exist, especially between such big countries as Russia and the United States. There have always been some issues, but I don't think we should go to extremes.
Vladimir Putin
I hope that the responsible figures in the Ukrainian leadership will not hinder soldiers in the Ukrainian army from putting down their weapons, if they aren't capable of taking that decision themselves and giving that order, then I hope that they won't prosecute people who want to save their lives and the lives of others.
Vladimir Putin
