I extend my sincere condolences to the people and the Government of India on the passing away of Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, former President of India. He will be remembered in Russia and by the international community at large as a highly respected leader at some of the defining moments in modern history.
My thoughts go out to his family and friends.
Dear Mr Smith,
I am sorry for delay in my response to your letter. I wholly share your concern over the state of the Russo-British relationship. In the first place, Russia's policy in the Ukraine crisis was always reactive. Our Western partners admit that when they accuse us of both improvisation and pursuing a 'grand strategy'. It was not us who started all this destabilising mess. Not many care to have a look at its origins. So, I'll try to set the record straight on some key points.
It is my pleasure to welcome you all at the Russian Embassy. This time for presentation of a research on the wartime correspondence between Stalin, Churchill and Roosevelt, undertaken by two history professors of MGIMO, including Vladimir Olegovich Pechatnov, with the help of British and American colleagues, among them Professor David Reynolds.
Yesterday my country, the Russian Federation, celebrated its national day.
It marks the anniversary of the Declaration of State Sovereignty which dates back to 1990, making our state one of the youngest in the world.
I am glad to welcome you today to mark Russia’s National Day.
We live in the world of new challenges and new opportunities. We live in new economic and political realities, new regional unions and new economic institutions. Russia is an active part of these new realities.
Foreign policy of Russia is based on international law. And as permanent member of the UN Security Council we bear responsibility for the world order and development of international relations.
I am delighted to welcome you at the Annual Business Forum of the Russo-British Chamber of Commerce in London. And welcome to new members of RBCC.
Question: Everybody is interested in the Ukraine situation and how the Minsk-format dialogue is unfolding. Everyone has heard about the difficult negotiations with US Secretary of State John Kerry, but nobody knows what was discussed exactly. Could you give us some details? What can you say about the possibility of the United States’ involvement in the peace process in Ukraine?
Recently, NATO has been publicly promoting a simplified "black and white" picture of the history of complicated relations between the Alliance and Russia, accusing Russia of "myth-making" about NATO's "impeccable" actions.
Your Excellencies!
Dear Veterans!
Ladies and gentlemen, friends!
Every May we gather here, at the Soviet War Memorial, to commemorate all those who sacrificed their lives in the fight against fascism. This year is of special significance as it marks the 70th anniversary of the Great Victory.
Nobody doubts the decisive contribution of the peoples of the Soviet Union to the defeat of Nazi Germany. We shouldn’t forget what was at stake.
Question: Historically, Russia and Germany have attached special significanceto their relations. We share long-standing and broad political, cultural and, of course, economic ties. What role can and should business play in enhancing trust between the two countries, especially at a time when political contact is limited, as is the case now with the Western sanctions against Russia?
