If there are any problems, it is better to carry out investigation and say something on its results. Putinїs statements do not represent the facts.ї

The Ukrainian politician, who decided to supply arms and defense technology is a criminal, the Russian Prime-Minister Putin stated on 2 October

їArms supply is a matter of commerce. But when the people and military complexes are used for killing the soldiers in the conflict zone, in this case Russian soldiers, it is a signal for us, and a very serious signal,ї Putin said.
