"President Putin suggested that he will participate in the discussions with Iran and that he could, perhaps, be helpful in getting this brought to a rapid conclusion."

"But to sign pardons and all of the things that he signed with an autopen is disgraceful."

"The weaponization of state power and the use of government levers to go after political opponents."

"President Putin did say, and very strongly, that he will have to respond to the recent attack on the airfields."
