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

"Russia is not the kind of a country that extradites human rights
champions." (Россия не та страна которая выдаёт борцов за права
человека.) – 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" ("Поднялась просто буря
восторга, аплодисментов, над залом застрял стон из хохота и плача"),
and commented that not everybody grasped the full meaning of the
utterance.[90]
