“Support from Russian citizens has always helped us, and I’m confident that the government’s future line-up will rely on the people. We must never forget about the needs of ordinary people. We must always remember how government-level decisions influence the lives of all ordinary Russian citizens.”
“Today we have made an important step toward expanding our bilateral partnership: we signed the ambitious Russian-Ukrainian Economic Cooperation Programme for 2011-2020. We intend to base it on the most promising areas of cooperation. The implementation of these plans will not only strengthen long-standing trade and economic ties but also create new science-intensive high-tech industries.”
“Ukraine is one of Russia's principal trade partners in the CIS. Russian businesses are investing ever more in Ukrainian industries. I regard the increase of mutual investment as the key indicator of our joint achievements.”
“Russian and Ukrainian companies are carrying out joint high-tech projects in the nuclear power industry, aviation, shipbuilding, and space technology. Obviously, the implementation of such ambitious projects requires different systemic conditions. I’m convinced that Ukraine’s more active involvement in multilateral integration projects, primarily the Customs Union and the Common Economic Space, would create new opportunities for our business communities.”
“The Russian government and the business community are planning to carry out a fundamental modernisation of national railways. We will tailor our development plans to growing demand for shipment and create the foundation for economic growth.”
“We intend to closely link our efforts to upgrade railway infrastructure with our integration processes, such as the Customs Union and the Common Economic Space. <…>On the whole, our railways must become a powerful integrator of the entire Eurasian market, and we are ready for partnership and cooperation in this respect.”
“We are working together on plans to restore Abkhazia’s economy and social capability. <…>I’m confident that we’ll do all this and travel together along this road of economic recovery and the restoration of the infrastructure and the social sphere. I’m convinced the Abkhazian people will feel safe. They can be sure that Russia, as a close ally and loyal friend, will stand with them and will help them overcome past problems. We will help Abkhazia get on its feet. Everything that I know makes us confident that we’ll carry out our joint plans.”
“I am truly pleased today, not only because we have completed a major construction project but also because we have established an innovative institution to combat serious diseases and help patients affected by cancer.”
“The completion of such a large-scale project in Russia <…> is just a small part of what we are doing for healthcare, including the treatment of cancer. But that is a very important step because it is here that high technology aid needed by hundreds and perhaps thousands of people across the country will be rendered.”
“By 2016, the number of schools with this barrier-free environment must be increased by more than eight times – from 1,200 today to 10,000, and this work must be continued in the future. We must also actively introduce distance learning for children with disabilities because that may open up opportunities for self-fulfillment.”
