Vladimir PutinI go to the gym, I swim daily and from time to time I meet with friends and do extra-curricular stuff.
Vladimir PutinWe see Serbs as our spiritual brothers. And that is what is at the base of our relations today and in the future.
Vladimir PutinI believe there are a lot of questions today that require expert analysis by various agencies: political agencies, foreign ministries, economic agencies and security agencies. We need to assess everything and understand what we can agree on and what the implications will be both for Japan and for Russia so that both the Russian people and the Japanese people come to the conclusion that these compromise solutions are acceptable and are in our countries' interests.
Vladimir PutinThere 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.
