Dmitry Peskov. (№ 410723)

Let me remind you of Putin's words: we are white and fluffy. ... A major international campaign comes in, takes a certain resource, mostly natural, digs it up, pumps it out, takes it away, and releases a couple of percent for it. Classic British colonialism. And to savages - beads. These percentages are actually beads. Then Russia began to mature. I came to my senses. I shook myself. Putin made. He called to order the oligarchs who climbed into power. And then the question arose: guys, we don't need beads. “And if you don’t want to be our colony, then we’ll arrange it for you.” Here a point of strain has emerged in the relationship. They do not want to see us as equal partners.
