It's not considered polite in Russia to count the money in someone else's pocket.

If the United Kingdom considers it necessary to start a dialogue on certain issues, we are ready for that, we are not going to pout or sulk. We take quite a pragmatic approach towards cooperation with our partners and we believe that it would be beneficial for both our countries.

Let's recall Bosnia in 1995.

Hundreds of people were killed or injured. The tragedy in Srebrenica is well known in Europe.

The UN, of course, must also adapt to modern demands and take into account the reality of the modern world in its work.
