We see and realise that the political situation in the United States is influenced by those who have lost the elections but refuse to accept their defeat, and who continue to use the anti-Russia card and various allegations most actively in the political infighting. This is why we are in no hurry, we are ready to wait, yet we strongly hope that Russian-US relations will become normal again sometime in the future.

We conducted talks on border issues with our friends in the People's Republic of China for 40 years. There were also issues related to specific territories.

Indeed, Russia and the U.S. were allies during the two tragic conflicts of the Second and the First World Wars, which allows us to think there's something objectively bringing us together in difficult times, and I think - I believe - it has to do with geopolitical interests and also has a moral component.

If the United Kingdom considers it necessary to start a dialogue on certain issues, we are ready for that, we are not going to pout or sulk. We take quite a pragmatic approach towards cooperation with our partners and we believe that it would be beneficial for both our countries.

Russia doesn't negotiate with terrorists. It destroys them.

I'd rather not deal with such questions, because anyway it's like shearing a pig - lots of screams but little wool.

If you aspire to be a leader of your own country, you must speak your own language, for God's sake.
