I think it's easier to go down that road - add Ukraine 3 billion in order to pay, And everyone would be happy And would work in a quiet mode, " - said Putin at a meeting with the Cabinet.
according to his statement, changing the rules of the Fund in favor of one country have the ability to cause demands to change rules And for other." And where will this lead? Should be in a quiet mode, in working, all these questions again to discuss, to find a solution that is not outweighed again for us all problems ", - said the head of the Russian Federation.
