It's better to be hanged for loyalty than rewarded for betrayal

Maybe they have nothing else to do in America but to talk about me.

To forgive the terrorists is up to God, but to send them there is up to me.

We shall fight against them, throw them in prisons and destroy them.

Without Russia's contribution, prices would rise even more. Some members of the EU meet 90% of their demands for gas with the help of Russian hydrocarbons and have no complaints so far.

Russia's partners should understand it's best not to mess with us,

Russia is a part of European culture. Therefore, it is with difficulty that I imagine NATO as an enemy.

Russia doesn't negotiate with terrorists. It destroys them.
