A considerable part of the interview dealt with the United States’ plans to set up a national missile defence system and the enlargement of NATO.

Mr Putin replied to questions about the domestic political situation in Russia, the reform of the country’s system of government, and prospects for the development of the Russian economy.

Touching on the subject of bilateral Russian-German relations, Mr Putin expressed hope that his upcoming meetings in Berlin would add further momentum to the ties between the two countries.
