Would you believe a word that comes out of Putin's mouth?

Have some tea. It's definitely not polonium-flavored.

edit It is fascinating how abrupt and vocal a response I get here if I say something negative about Putin. It's also fascinating how many upvotes those responses get. It makes the provenance of this community's opinions fairly obvious.

Just because someone is an enemy doesn't mean I assume the opposite of everything they say

Assuming the opposite would be silly and easy to manipulate.

We should assume that he is lying, whatever he says.

I assume any politician that has any real power lies as easily as they breathe, can you name a U.S. politician that doesn't just drop in the right buzz words while they skirt answering uncomfortable questions?

I don't think "buzz words* are relevant to this particular context, as we're talking about a specific answer to a specific question. Also, because a specific answer was given, we're not talking about being evasive either.
