This reminds me of one of the Putinisms (courtesy wikipedia):

"Russia is not the kind of a country that extradites human rights
champions." (РоÑ?Ñ?иÑ? не Ñ?а Ñ?Ñ?Ñ?ана коÑ?оÑ?аÑ? вÑ?даÑ?Ñ? боÑ?Ñ?ов за пÑ?ава
Ñ?еловека.) â?? This Putin's comment on Snowden during the Q&A session
with CNBC at the SPIEF on May 23, 2014 was followed by a storm of
laughter and applause.[88][89] Kommersant described the reaction as
follows: "A tempest of elation and applause erupted, and a howl of
laughter and weeping hung over the hall" ("Ð?однÑ?лаÑ?Ñ? пÑ?оÑ?Ñ?о бÑ?Ñ?Ñ?
воÑ?Ñ?оÑ?га, аплодиÑ?менÑ?ов, над залом заÑ?Ñ?Ñ?Ñ?л Ñ?Ñ?он из Ñ?оÑ?оÑ?а и плаÑ?а"),
and commented that not everybody grasped the full meaning of the
utterance.[90]
