Vladimir Putin

I urge you immediately lay down your arms and go home.

Do not follow criminal orders.

Ukraine is not just a neighboring country for us. It`s an integral part of our own history, culture, and spiritual space. Ukraine never had a tradition of genuine statehood. From the very first steps they began to build their statehood on…

He basically said, well they`re not really a country, they never were a country. This is ours. We`re just taking it back.

Let me emphasize once again that Ukraine for us is not just a neighboring country. It is an integral part of our own history, culture, spiritual’s face.

The most important thing he said today was that the entire body of laws, on which the dissolution of the Soviet Union was based, was illegitimate.

Those who have taken the power and holding the power in Ukraine, we demand from you to stop any of the military actions. Otherwise, the responsibility will be on the governing government in Ukraine.

I would like to reiterate that Ukraine is just not a neighboring country, it is an integral part of our own history, culture, and spiritual space.

It`s not about Ukraine joining NATO. It`s not about NATO expanding eastward toward Russia. It`s about whether people have the right to decide who governs them or not.

Putin seems to want the world to believe that extending his arm of protection to all Russians around the -- around Europe is a noble and selfless act, but his true motivations may be much darker.

Vladimir Putin stressed that the responsibility should not be shifted onto the shoulders of Russia, since it is NATO that is making dangerous attempts to conquer Ukrainian territory and is building up its military potential at our borders.

As for who is killing whom and throwing whom in jail, people came to the U.S. Congress with political demands. They’re being called domestic terrorists.

I believe that former U.S. president, Mr. Trump, is an extraordinary individual, talented individual, otherwise he would not have become a U.S. president. He`s a colorful individual. You may like him or not. And -- but he didn`t come from…

Putin tries to amplify Republican efforts to whitewash the deadly Capitol attack, saying the insurrectionists weren`t just a crowd of robbers and rioters.

These are not looters or thieves. These people came with political requests.

Is Russia, as Robert Mueller alleged, attempting to influence the 2020 elections in the United States?

Never mistake bluster for strength.

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

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.
