On today's agenda, finding money from somewhere
Saudi Arabia is going to build a city in the middle of the desert, we went there to say let's do it, we have no other purpose! Do you think we want money? We have the best contractors in the world! If we sell, we sell services, contracting services!
It flows and burns at the same time. We call it fuel oil, but it doesn't just flow, it burns and burns at the same time.
First they said VAT, then they said there is also SCT. I think they will soon raise the price of the fuel itself, citing the increase in oil prices in the world, saying that we haven't raised the price yet.
Yes, Saudi Arabia is not satisfied with the oil prices and will reduce its production capacity to increase the prices.

Let him drop it, it won't affect us!
We have our own petrol!
It comes out of Gabar. And it's of such high quality that you can fill it up as soon as it comes out.
It's free!
***
And we have natural gas. Look, we got free gas for a month, didn't you notice?
So what if it's not that much?
Don't beans grow in this country?
Eat and eat. It's the most natural!
We'll support the bean growers if we have to!
***
Where do you get such things from?
He'll sell this, he'll sell that!
Don't we know what to sell?
Saudi Arabia is going to build a city in the middle of the desert, we went there to say let's do it, we have no other purpose!
Do you think we want money?
Are we beggars?
We have the best contractors in the world!
If we sell, we sell services, contracting services!
Maybe we can sell a few other things, but don't get us mixed up in that!
We know what to sell!
Don't get involved in such things!

They say they will raise interest rates, why would we do that? Personally, I still stand where I stand.
Interest is the cause, inflation is the effect!
No one has proved otherwise yet!
Not to brag, it is my thesis!
I am an economist!
***
Then why did you appoint the new economy minister?
They asked me a lot, I said OK, let's give it a try. There's no other reason for this transfer!
But if he makes a mistake, I won't let him do anything wrong.
No interest!
Nas, nas, nas, nas!
***
They say foreign exchange prices are rising.
This is foreign exchange, it rises and falls.
What do you care about foreign exchange?
We don't pay your salaries in foreign currency.
Does anyone receive salaries in foreign currency?
Look, we said we wouldn't let the inflation crush the citizens, and we didn't!
Is anyone being crushed?
That's inflation, it would be obvious if it was!
I don't see any citizens being oppressed!
***
But everything's going up!
So what should we do?
Didn't we raise your salaries in line with inflation?
What more do you want?
You should be grateful!
Have morals!
What do you mean? Should we say to your face, we are doing our best, what more can we do?
***
He became an MP, they say they don't let him out of prison.
What's it got to do with me, brother?
Am I not letting him out of prison?
Didn't we say the judiciary would be independent when we introduced this system?
Look, he is acting independently!
If he doesn't release him from prison, there must be a reason!
What should I do?
***
You say he's jailing members of the press to silence the press.
What's that got to do with me?
If they put him in prison, it's because he did something!
Even if he didn't do anything, he did something, so they threw him in prison.
I'm telling you that the judiciary is independent, don't you understand?
***
In short, everything is normal in the country.
Let no one say anything!
We just held elections and you elected me again, so you are satisfied!
If anyone is unhappy, tell our people to make them happy! We help everyone who wants it!
As long as he is a member of the party!
If anyone is in a very difficult situation, don't worry, they will get a few packets of pasta.
***
I'm glad you reminded me!
I think Russia's a bit miffed about Sweden.
I'll talk to my friend Putin and we'll continue the grain corridor.
It looks like our pasta costs are going to increase, I'll ask him to support us a bit more so we won't have to struggle.
We still have local elections ahead of us, these things are no joke!
We'll take the municipalities, we will!
We can't miss the opportunity when the opposition is so disorganised!
We will take them, don't worry!
***
Come on, don't keep me busy, it's already hot here!
There's still the Emirates and Qatar to go!
I need a lot of money! A lot of money!
Should I ask Bashar al-Assad? Does he have money?
Oh, sorry! I meant Assad.

Love and regards to everyone from Moscow
