More quotes by Vladimir Putin
I trust Angela Merkel, she is a very open person. She is also subject to certain constraints and limitations. But she is honestly trying to settle the crisis, also in the south-east of Ukraine. However, what the European Union is doing with those sanctions is nothing but a theatre of the absurd.
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
Besides, does it really matter who hacked Mrs. [Hillary] Clinton's election campaign team database? Does it? What really matters is the content shown to the community. This is what the discussion should be held about.
Vladimir Putin
I stress that we unambiguously support strengthening the non-proliferation regime, without any exceptions, on the basis of international law.
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.
Vladimir Putin
We are natural partners [with Japan] in the world and the Far East, but the absence of a peace treaty does not allow us to develop the full range of our relations. Therefore, we will naturally strive to sign this treaty.
Vladimir Putin
Our aims are absolutely clear: They are a high living standard in the country and a secure, free and comfortable life.
Vladimir Putin
Of course, nobody does [want another Cuban Missile Crisis].
Vladimir Putin
Our microeconomic indicators are stable and it gives me reason to believe that we will calmly and steadily pass this uneasy period in our economy, which has already no doubt adapted to the current situation.
Vladimir Putin
I don’t regret anything. I did everything absolutely correctly.
Vladimir Putin
Those who fight corruption should be clean themselves.
Vladimir Putin
I do not want to speak about our cooperation with Japan now. Thank God, we have had no such problems there. Nor would we want any to arise in the future. Therefore, everything needs to be pre-calculated, and we need to agree upon everything in advance.
Vladimir Putin
Given the cost of borrowings and the $100 billion in Government reserves, there is no reason for us to borrow. We should review the situation carefully. Besides, borrowings are possible, but we must understand what is more profitable at this point.
Vladimir Putin
The democratic choice Russian people made in the early 90's is final.
Vladimir Putin
The West's sanctions are not aimed at helping Ukraine, but at geo-politically pushing Russia back. They are foolish and are merely harming both sides.
Vladimir Putin
We must stop using the language of force and return to the path of civilized diplomatic and political settlement.
Vladimir Putin
We have created stability, which is a necessary condition for development. But I can't call this system authoritarian.
Vladimir Putin
The US wants to subdue Russia, to solve US problems at Russia's expense. No one in history ever managed to do this to Russia, and no one ever will.
Vladimir Putin
In 2009, US President [Barack] Obama said that the missile defense only serves as protection from Iranian nuclear missiles. But now there is an international treaty with Iran that bans Tehran from developing a potential military nuclear project.
Vladimir Putin
Therefore, I do not think we should go only 60 years back but should look deeper, centuries back. Maybe this will give us [Russia and Japan] an opportunity to look at the future from a more remote perspective.
Vladimir Putin
