The thing is, however strange it may seem, that the interests of the United States and of the Russian Federation do coincide sometimes.

It is clear that the international community has no other universal organisation of the likes of the United Nations.

I am very grateful to our people who appreciate my work and for their support, as without that support it would have been impossible to get anything done.

We ask that (other countries) do not interfere in our regulation.

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

What happened in Ukraine? The coup d'état in Ukraine has led to a civil war, because, yes, let's say, many Ukrainians no longer trusted President Yanukovych. However, they should have legitimately come to the polls and voted for another head of state instead of staging a coup d'état. And after the coup d'état took place, someone supported it, someone was satisfied with it, while others were not. And those who did not like it were treated from the position of force. And that led to a civil war.

Here is the thing: I have seen several times that anti-Russian cards are being played during domestic campaigns in the United States. I find this approach very short-sighted.
