Vladimir Putin

I think it's the second.

I see no point in meeting. It only makes sense for the Ukrainian side to stop the advance of our armed forces.

We need to strengthen our security, strengthen air defenses, and we will do that.

Russia views global changes not only as a threat but also as immense opportunities.

The sanctions and blocking of Russia's sovereign reserves have irreversibly impacted the standing of international currencies, the dollar and the euro.

The main thing isn't age; the main thing is the ability to work.

I see no point in meeting with Zelenskyy.

Get to work, my brothers

Inflation has slowed down significantly and it keeps going down.

The most important thing is whether you are capable of functioning properly, doing your job properly.

Let the experts get to work and come up with some solutions. After that, we can meet.

Patriotism and will of the Russian people will ensure the achievement of goals that Moscow set in Ukraine.

Get to work, my brothers

We've deliberately taken steps to cool the economy.

Only God knows if any of us will be healthy enough ... to survive until tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, much less solve the problems we face and achieve the goals we set for ourselves.

There is no need to suspend the hostilities to start negotiations.

Russian troops are advancing along the entire line of contact.

Russia has an air defense system, we need to improve it, strengthen it, and we will do that.

To our regret, some of them break through.

If Kyiv authorities are not willing to end the matter peacefully, we will achieve all the goals we have in the special military operation by military means.

If the United States or any other state party to the Treaty was to conduct such tests, Russia would be under obligation to take reciprocal measures.

Back off in Ukraine — look what we might do if you continue to interfere.

We need to determine the possible uses and begin preparing the infrastructure for deploying these weapons to our armed forces.

For both me and the U.S. president, it would be a mistake to approach this lightly and then walk away without the expected result.

If you take into account the domestic political calendar in the United States, it is clear how sensitive some processes would be.
