Nina Georgyivna:
The situation in Ukraine is evolving in such a way that the borders divide our families. Unfortunately we have failed to understand each other. How can you ensure that our fraternal nations remain so.
Putin: If we love each other and respect each other we need to find a way to understand each other. I'm sure we'll find mutual understanding with Ukraine.
Let me point this out: If we respect each other, we have to respect each of our rights to our own choice. People in Ukraine have to respect the choice that residents of Crimea made.
Russia will always be Ukraine's close neighbor. If we want to be successful we have to cooperate and be together.

First question from Sevastopol:
Civilian personnel concerned about Navy. What's the future of the Black Sea Fleet?
Putin: The fleet will be moved from Novorossiysk to Sevastopol.
Every Russian citizen knows Sevastopol is a city of military glory.

Putin: Threats against Crimea were real and that's why the people turned to Russia.
When the people of Crimea began saying they wanted self-determination, it was only then that we decided to support the residents.
Nobody from the Security Council objected. Everything was done quickly and decisively. There is nothing similar in global history.

Q: What's Russia's stance at Geneva?
P: Shouldn't be just a showcase. Should be a dialogue with the people.
Q: What about claims Russia stands behind uprising?
P: This is nonsense. There are no Russian units in the east of Ukraine. Those are all local residents. Best example is that people removed their masks.
