That *is* more than 131 feet!
"I will not hide, that we helped Yaunkovych move to Crimea," Putin said, according to "Ukrainskaya Pravda."
Ukraine's Prime Minister has said that Russia's falling economy could harm Ukraine. It is clear that with the [ruble] falling, the Russians will try to sell their goods in Ukraine because there are competitive advantages," said Arseniy Yatsenyuk on Friday.
Putin has responded to a quote attributed to First Deputy Head of The Presidential Administration Vyacheslav Volodin, "If there's Putin, there's Russia, if there's no Putin, there is no Russia."
Putin said, "Russia fills my whole life and I can't imagine myself without it for a second," according to Tass. "I feel an inner connection with the Russian land and the Russian people and I wouldn't be able to live outside of Russia."
"Russia, of course, can do without someone like me," he said, according to Dozhd.
Putin has claimed that Crimea being annexed to Russia does not mean that it disrespects Ukraine's sovereignty. "As a result of a government coup supported by our Western partners, the people of Crimea got scared and decided to take care of the future, their own and of their children as well, and used the right to self-determination international law provides for," he said at the Valdai Discussion Club in Sochi, according to Tass. "That does not mean that we disrespect the sovereignty of the Ukrainian state on the whole."
