country
Sanctions against such country as Russia are unlikely to be effective.
mean welcome policy
If somebody prefers to work by means of sanctions, he is welcome to do so. But sanctions are a temporary measure. Firstly, they contradict the international law. Secondly, tell me where this policy of sanctions proved to be effective. The answer is nowhere.
mean action sovereignty
Respecting the sovereignty means preventing coups, unconstitutional actions and illegitimate overthrowing of the legitimate government. All these things should be totally prevented.
country community problem
Russia is probably one of the first countries to have been confronted with this problem of terrorism. It took some time before the international community realised the danger terrorism poses.
country reputation action
The reputation of those countries which cater to the foreign policy interests of other states at the expense of their own national interests will go down regardless of how they explain their actions.
country believe independent
I firmly believe that the reputation of any country which is capable of defending the life and dignity of its citizens, and can conduct independent foreign policy will only improve in mid- and long-term perspective.
break taxes equal
Everyone must be equal before the law, abide by it, pay their taxes and bear the punishment should they break the law.
influence various
One thing is clear, everyone, no matter what their professional or material status, no matter what their influence on various state structures, must obey the law.
economic crime difficult
Economic crimes are complex in nature, difficult to untangle, and they must be investigated according to the procedures set by the law.
believe healthy important
I believe a healthy lifestyle is an extremely important thing which underpins solution to numerous important problems, including the health of the nation.
people choices democracy
The Russian people chose democracy at the beginning of the 1990s and this was their final choice.
country reality people
The basic principles of democracy should be observed whatever the country - principles such as civil liberties, a free market, a free press, the priority of the individual over mythical state interests, a state which serves the interests of ordinary people and defends their rights and interests. This is all easy to say but hard to make reality.
political
I will not meddle in America's internal political squabbles.
country college presidential
Some countries have a parliamentary republic, some are presidential republics and some are still monarchies, but no one sees them as not being democratic. In some countries regional leaders are appointed from the centre and in others they are elected. In Russia, the president is elected through direct secret ballot, and in the United States, the president is elected through a system of electoral colleges.
