Putin Refers to Holodomor Memorial as 'Someplace,' Jokes About Yushchenko-Saakashvili Meeting

Russian PM Vladimir Putin: Uh...what our colleagues were doing, I have no idea, but I think that...uh...two presidents always have things to talk about: to discuss somethin,' to go someplace* [smiles]: The warriors recalled their days bygone, and all the battles they never won.** Maybe that was that. [audience explodes with laughter]. We...we're going together to...we're now going to...to a dinner...my colleague has invited me...to...I'd say we'll be talking about...about Chekhov. Well...that's it, I guess. Oh yes, what else can I advise and recommend? Uh...the two presidents would better have their dinner — should they have dinner — with their ties off.*** Ties cost a lot now. Heaven forbid...you know what I'm talking about [audience explodes with laughter].

Ukrainian PM Yulia Tymoshenko [gets excited, addresses Putin by patronymic]: Vladimirovich, I definitely can have dinner with my tie off!

Putin: Yep!
Tymoshenko: Hahaha!

Putin: Ha, lest the guests will...gobble up Yushchenko's tie!

*Reflects on Yushchenko and Saakashvili visiting the Holodomor memorial, an issue in the reporter's question;
** Quotes from Alexander Pushkin's The Song of Oleg the Wise [translation mine];
*** Refers to Saakashvilis tie-munching behavior.

Ukraine sent no troops to Georgia. Ukraine sold arms to Georgia, without violating international law.

It was Russia that sent its troops to Georgia, in violation of international law.

Glory of Putin and Stalin !!!

[Bosirant]

Stalin and the Bolsheviks were guilty of numerous genocides, the most heinous, cunning and clever, was the Holodomor--murder by hunger--by engineered famine in 1930s Ukraine.

[marika19502011]

Putin, murderer, liar, thief, evil Russian KGB. If he was German at that era, he would be called Hitler. Russians are so afraid to exist on their own, they oppress other nation's through military use of weapons, forcefully manipulating, taking always what does not belong to them. Your lies have been uncovered, globally Russians are detested.

[Couchshooter]

Putin is a former KGB agent... he loves to play dumb... but he is more clever than a fox...

However he keeps putting his foot in his mouth, like when he stated that Russia could have defeated Hitler without Ukraine's help! He "forgot" that that 7 million dead WW II Red Army soldiers were Ukrainian, while only 3.5 million dead were Russian....
