All civilised countries should unite in the fight against international terrorism.

I believe the U.S. already understands and will understand more and more that only a strong Russia will respond to the genuine interests of the United States.

Thank God, I think no one is thinking of unleashing a large-scale conflict with Russia. I want to remind you that Russia is one of the leading nuclear powers.

Under the international agreements, the Russian peacekeepers are committed to protect the population of South Ossetia.

The Russian people chose democracy at the beginning of the 1990s and this was their final choice.

However, it was not us who refused to freeze oil production; our Saudi partners changed their point of view at the last moment and decided to slow down the adoption of this decision. I would like to reiterate our position, it remains the same.

If European countries want to cater to U.S. foreign policy interests, I don't think that they stand to gain anything.
