Russia is not opposed in principle to direct financial assistance in some cases. At the same time I believe that external financial injections can only partially solve the problem.

Like Obama, I watch what Putin does, not what he says.

If you're trying to make the point that he says one thing and does another, I won't disagree, but what he does seems to work for Russia.

Putin is not working for Russia. He is selling out Russia's interests in favor of an internationalist globalist socialist communist new world order.

I propose again that we work toward creating a harmonious community of economies from Lisbon to Vladivostok, which will, in the future, evolve into a free trade zone and even more advanced forms of economic integration.

Russia is an inalienable and organic part of Greater Europe and European civilization. Our citizens think of themselves as Europeans. We are by no means indifferent to developments in united Europe. That is why Russia proposes moving toward the creation of a common economic and human space from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean - a community referred by Russian experts to as "the Union of Europe," which will strengthen Russia's potential and position in its economic pivot toward the "new Asia." - Vladimir Putin
