American Journalist: Western countries almost consent now that there is a new Cold War and that you frankly have decided to create that. We see almost daily Russian aircraft taking some times quite dangerous maneuvers towards western airspace that must be done on your orders. You are the commander in Chief. It must have been your orders that sent Russian troops in the territory of a sovereign country, Crimea* first and then whatever it is that is going on in Ukraine.
Now you’ got a big problem with your accounts here on Russia and you are going to need help and support and understanding from outside countries, particularly from the West. So, can I say to you, can I ask you now, would you care to take this opportunity to say to people from the West that you have no desire to carry on with a new Cold War and that you would do whatever you can to sort out the problems in Ukraine? Thank you.
