  • 'Our president and gov't can manage the Russian economy'....'We will get out of this [economic] crisis.'
  • 'Ukraine has turned anti-Russia many years ago'
  • 'Ukraine was turned into pro-Western experimental tool...When NATO insisted Ukraine have absolute freedom to join bloc....a threat to the Russian Federation....questions of NATO enlargement are a non-starter'

  • 'We will do everything we can not to depend on the West any more in crucial areas of our lives'
