Vladimir Putin

Putin wants is on people to think it`s not worth standing up to corruption because that`s the way things are.

Never mistake bluster for strength.

the thing your country needs most is another 15 years of him.

What would I answer him? I would tell him be healthy. I wish him good health. I say this without irony. Without jokes.

the idea, I think, if you would look back five or six years ago and ask Vladimir Putin, do you think that you could have had this kind of success? Do you think that you would have the president of the United States standing up and…

The leader in AI will rule the world.

Russia's interference in the election is merely a symptom of the larger hybrid war against the West

This is all dreamed up by people who are in opposition to Trump so as to make sure that everybody thinks that what he's doing, what he's working at is illegitimate.

It wouldn't make sense for us to interfere in a US election.

They decided to say it's not our fault, it's the Russian's fault. It's like anti-semitism to blame the Jews for everything. We all know what this can lead to, nothing good.

That's his right. Let him do it.

We are stronger than any potential aggressor.

The only response we should offer to this murder is stepping up our fight against terror and the criminals will feel the heat.

Millions around the world increasingly see America not as a model of democracy, but as relying solely on brute force.

We do not ban anyone or anything. We don't detain people on the street. We don't hold anyone responsible for those relations, unlike a lot of other countries in the world. That's why you can feel free, relaxed, but leave children in peace…

That's what Vladimir Putin made clear today, arguing, logically, how could you expect a country to disarm if it's facing the threat of being attacked.

Vladimir Putin is going to sit there and say look, we've got this guy. He's in essence in a no man's land. We want him to leave. We can't force him to leave.

We think under today's conditions when our countries are reaching a new level of relations, when the presidents of these two countries are trying to improve the climate of mutual understanding between the two governments, this citizen, in…

nuclear weapons remain the main guarantee of Russia's sovereignty and its territorial integrity. It plays a key role in maintaining global and regional stability and balance.
