The biggest nationalist in Russia: that's me.

If you want to lower the significance of Russia in the world, you actually just want to elevate your own country. That is a mistake.

Napoleon once said that justice is the incarnation of God on Earth. I'm telling you: the reunification of Crimea and Russia is just.

I stress that we unambiguously support strengthening the non-proliferation regime, without any exceptions, on the basis of international law.

Nobody should have any illusion about the possibility of gaining military superiority over Russia. We will never allow this to happen.

As for the criticism we receive, you know, even Mr. [Donald] Trump's team criticize us. For instance, one of the participants or members of his team claimed that Russia was giving money to the Clintons through some funds and that in fact Russia is controlling the Clinton family. This is nonsense.

Russia should be competitive, be able to protect its own interests and influence the processes that are important to it.
