Examples of RUSSIAN in a Sentence

  1. Andrei Soldatov:

    They absolutely they have no idea what is going on, which is a very ominous sign in itself, it's very clear that the Foreign Ministry doesn't know what is going on. It's all up to one person- though it may also be up to the military, which is getting more and more and more influential and powerful. And the interesting thing is that in Russian society, the military now plays such a huge role, which is quite unprecedented.

  2. Saloni Sharma:

    At the time, we said we will ban the import of Russian oil, liquefied natural gas and coal to the United States – a significant action with widespread bipartisan support, our ban blocks any new purchases of Russian energy and winds down deliveries of existing purchases as is standard practice because they have already been paid for.

  3. Ben Sasse:

    This is bizarre and flat-out wrong. United States is not to blame.

  5. Michael Ryan:

    Most military observers and very senior American army generals believe that the Russian army reached a culminating point. A significant aspect of that is the losses that they've sustained.
