We need to use the United Nations Security Council and believe that preserving law and order in today's complex and turbulent world is one of the few ways to keep international relations from sliding into chaos. The law is still the law, and we must follow it whether we like it or not.

Everything will probably never be Ok. But we have to try for it.

I go to the gym, I swim daily and from time to time I meet with friends and do extra-curricular stuff.

The issues of political nature should be solved in any country, including in Syria, primarily by its people.

If everything stops functioning our level will be able to ensure our trade turnover using its gold and foreign currency reserves for at least six months or more, which is more than enough.

It is not what your supporters, friends or your political adversaries call you that matters. What is important is what you think you must do in the interests of the country, which put you in such position, such post as the Head of the Russian State.

I am sure that, after all, any man in my place should set a positive example for other people.
