Vladimir Poutine citations célèbres
Российские самолёты наносят и будут наносить удары в Чечне исключительно по базам террористов, и это будет продолжаться, где бы террористы ни находились. …Мы будем преследовать террористов везде. В аэропорту — в аэропорту. Значит, вы уж меня извините, в туалете поймаем, мы и в сортире их замочим, в конце концов. Всё, вопрос закрыт окончательно.
