I'll be honest, I felt an urge to squeeze him like a kitten and that led to the gesture I made. There was nothing behind it really.

I assure you that interest in Japanese culture in Russia is just as strong as interest in Russian culture in Japan.

This work is either useless or harmful, because there is nothing good about populism. If you wanted to hear my opinion on this issue, that is what I think.

I do not want to answer provocative question.

I don’t regret anything. I did everything absolutely correctly.

It is well known that Russia has many interesting and promising developments in the military-technical sphere. We are ready to deliver the needed equipment and ready for joint cooperation in arms production with Brazilian specialists. This is an area that is very closely linked to high technology in general. In this respect, we hope to develop closer cooperation between the scientific communities in our two countries.

I'm eternally grateful to fate and the citizens of Russia that they've trusted me to be the head of the Russian government.
