MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Russian President Vladimir Putin
on Thursday spoke about domestic and foreign affairs, the
consequences of the global financial crisis and sanctions, international
cooperation and the prospects for various economy sectors in his
annual State of the Nation Address to the Federal Assembly.
On Pivot to the East
"I will again stress that Russia's active eastern policy is not
driven by some kind of temporary opportunistic considerations and not
by the cooling of relations with the United States and the
European Union, but by long-term national interests and tendencies
in global development." "We expect a high-quality progress
with regard to relations with our eastern neighbor, Japan. We
welcome the aspiration of the state’s government to develop economic
ties with Russia, to launch joint projects and programs."
"It [the
Russian-Chinese cooperation] serves as a perfect example of the
relations built on harmonious consideration of the interests
of every state, rather than on the idea of one part’s
domination, no matter how powerful it is."
On Russia-US Relations
"We hope to join efforts with the United States in the struggle against real, and not imaginary threat. With international terrorism."

"We hope to join efforts with the United States in the struggle against real, and not imaginary threat. With international terrorism."
"Russia is
ready to cooperate with the new US Administration, it is important
to normalize and develop bilateral relations on an equal and mutually
beneficial basis. Cooperation between Russia and the United States
in addressing global and regional issues is in the interest
of the whole world. We share responsibility for ensuring
international security and stability."
On Cooperation With EU
"Russia's idea of forming a multilevel integration model in Eurasia, a large-scale Eurasian partnership, is very interesting. We have begun discussing it on international and regional levels. I am sure, this discussion is possible with the EU countries in which the demand is now growing for the independent political and economical directions. We see this in the results of the elections."

On Cold War
"[We are] committed to the friendly, equal dialogue, to upholding the principles of justice and mutual respect in international affairs, [we are] ready to the serious conversation on building a stable system of international relations of the 21st century. Unfortunately, in this context, the decades that passed after the end of the Cold War were lost in vain."
On Censorship
"[We are] committed to the friendly, equal dialogue, to upholding the principles of justice and mutual respect in international affairs, [we are] ready to the serious conversation on building a stable system of international relations of the 21st century. Unfortunately, in this context, the decades that passed after the end of the Cold War were lost in vain."
On Censorship
"We are always criticized that we allegedly introduce censorship in the country, now they [Western countries] are practicing in this area themselves."
On Nuclear Weapons
"I would like to emphasize that attempts to break the strategic parity [regarding nuclear armaments] are extremely dangerous and can lead to global catastrophe. One cannot forget about it for a minute."
