Nothing matters for a drastic change in Ukraine more than political transformations.

I think Shidzo Abe's proposal may be the only way to achieving our goal.

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.

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

It's not considered polite in Russia to count the money in someone else's pocket.

There is no one else at all who is fighting ISIS on the ground, except for President al-Assad's army.

There is no need for the Russian state to hold such large stakes and we do intend to put our plans into practice. It is not about whether we want it or not, it is about this being practical or not and the best timing. In general, it is practical from at least one point of view - from the point of view of structural changes in the economy.
