The fact that the union of different nationalities and denominations resulted from the liberation, this is particularly symbolic and important for our multinational country, As long as we feel this unity inside us, Russia will be invincible.

Nowadays, there are plans to separate the Baltic states from the common power system of the former Soviet Union and to integrate them into the European system. What does it mean for us in practice? In practice, it means that a number of zones will emerge between several regions of the Russian Federation, where we will have no power transmission lines, since previously we used to have a loop transition through the Baltic countries.

The mutual sympathy of our peoples is and will remain the foundation of our relations [with Germany].

No references to the need to fight terror can be an argument for restricting human rights.

We will not allow the past to drag us down and stop us from moving ahead. We understand where we should move.
