View Photo »We submit Mr. Putin as our presidential candidate ... By doing so we officially define our political strategy not just for a short-term period but for a long term.
If our partners show an honest and responsible attitude towards taking into account Russia’s legitimate security interests, I am sure we can come to an agreement ... But if we are asked to ‘cooperate’ or in fact act against our own interests it will be difficult to establish common ground. In such a cas...
Our victory will not only be good for the country
No matter where you are or who you are, hear me now ... Remember that together we went along this path, raised the country from her knees, worked together, lived through difficulties, protected our fatherland … We are required to continue our joint work. Come to the elections on 4 December and vote for ...
The more convincing our result is on Dec. 4, the more certain and more solid our victory will be at (presidential) elections in March of next year
There is no more successful, experienced or popular politician in Russia than Vladimir Putin
Recent failures are a strong blow to our competitiveness. It does not mean that something fatal has happened, it means that we need to carry out a detailed review and punish those guilty
United Russia emerged as a political force in 2003. Now it is 2011 - not a very long term
I have tasked the armed forces to develop measures ensuring, if necessary, the destruction of the information and control services of the missile-defense system
Perhaps last year, some people thought thought that our ties had gone bad and developed serious problems
Well, this year, they became more dynamic and substantial. And I will tell you honestly - the Russian Federation is glad
I believe these documents will not only allow us to meet growing energy demand from Belarusian customers but also strengthen the energy security of our neighbors
The United States and its Nato partners as of now aren't going to take our concerns about the European missile defence into account
Last year it was widely seen that we had serious problems. Well, this year our cooperation became more dynamic and meaningful
This year our cooperation got fresh impetus
Given the intrinsic link between strategic offensive and defensive arms, conditions for our withdrawal from the New START Treaty could also arise, and this option is enshrined in the treaty.
I have given the armed forces the task of drawing up plans to destroy the information and command and control systems of the [US/Nato] anti-missile shield
If our partners tackle the issue of taking our legitimate security interests into account in an honest and responsible way, I’m sure we will be able to come to an agreement
These measures will be adequate, effective and low-cost
