Mr. Putin also said this week that it made little sense to continue negotiations amid the Crimea tensions, forcing the other parties to persuade him to come back to the table - and putting himself at the center of the process.
Putins arī šonedēļ sacīja, ka Krimas saspīlējumu laikā nebija lielas nozīmes turpināt sarunas, liekot citām pusēm viņu pārliecināt atgriezties pie sarunu galda un nonākot procesa centrā.
