More quotes by Vladimir Putin
Russia itself is a European country, and not just because our major political and economic centres are in Europe, but because Russian culture is primarily European culture.
Vladimir Putin
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.
Vladimir Putin
We all are interested in an open development, without any prejudice this refers particularly and, perhaps, primarily to the Baltic countries, for them it is more important than for Russia.
Vladimir Putin
President Obama hasn't been elected by the American people in order to be pleasant to Russia.
Vladimir Putin
Take, for example, Lithuania. Do you know, what was its population in the Soviet times? It was 3.4 mln people. It was a small country, a small republic. And what is it now? I have looked though the recent statistics, today the population of this country is 1.4 mln people. Where are the people? More than half of the citizens have left the country.
Vladimir Putin
If somebody prefers to work by means of sanctions, he is welcome to do so. But sanctions are a temporary measure. Firstly, they contradict the international law. Secondly, tell me where this policy of sanctions proved to be effective. The answer is nowhere.
Vladimir Putin
In accordance with the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the issues of foreign policy and defense are fully in the hands of the president.
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
Anything that is missing in the implementation of the Minsk Agreement is - without any exception - up to the Kiev central government of Ukraine. You cannot demand something of Moscow that, in fact, the rulers in Kiev have to deliver. The most important aspect is the constitutional reform, Point 11 of the Minsk Agreement.
Vladimir Putin
There are many other areas. And I am confident that each of them is of interest to both the people of the United States of America and the Russian people.
Vladimir Putin
Why don't you meet Osama bin Laden, invite him to Brussels or to the White House and engage in talks, ask him what he wants and give it to him so he leaves you in peace?
Vladimir Putin
Just take Kosovo: back then, UN bodies decided that Kosovo should become independent of Serbia and that the interests of Serbia's central government had to be subordinated. You can read that in all the records, also in the German ones.
Vladimir Putin
In 1995, Russia virtually gave Chechnya de facto statehood and independence even though, de jure, it didn't recognize Chechnya as an independent state. And I would like to emphasize strongly that Russia withdrew all of its troops, we moved the prosecutors, we moved all the police, dismantled all the courts, completely, 100 percent.
Vladimir Putin
We have issued financial instruments in the past, and there is a strong demand for them, it is simply unnecessary now.
Vladimir Putin
Donald Trump is a brilliant and talented person, without a doubt.
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
We ask that (other countries) do not interfere in our regulation.
Vladimir Putin
One thing is clear, everyone, no matter what their professional or material status, no matter what their influence on various state structures, must obey the law.
Vladimir Putin
There are many issues in the global economy in general and in the western economy as well: population ageing, drop in labour productivity growth rates. This is obvious. The overall demographic situation is very complicated.
Vladimir Putin
We were also going to develop relations with the current administration [of Barack Obama], but somehow they did not work out well in key areas and, I believe, not through our fault. I will not list all the problems that emerged in the past few years.
