Here is how it originally sounded:
Sabine Fischer: Sabine Fischer, Science and Politics Foundation, Berlin.
Mr President, you were very critical about the West’s policy regarding its relations with
Russia. Indeed, many aspects that you have touched upon call for an in-depth critical discussion. At the same time, we know that in any relationship – whether between countries or between people – both sides make mistakes. So I have a question.
What political mistakes, in your opinion, has Russia made in its relations with the West over the past 15 years and what needs to be done, what conclusions need to be drawn for the future of these relations?
Vladimir Putin:
Our most serious mistake in relations with the West is that we trusted you too much. And your mistake is that you took that trust as weakness and abused it. It is therefore necessary to put this behind us, turn the page and move on, building our relations on the basis of mutual respect and treating each other as equal partners of equal value.

BTW, ^ this is a site with Putin's answers to all kinds of questions about everything which is going on now in the world (Syria, NK, Ukraine, relationship with US, and so on and on). If anybody wants to know what Putin thinks about that, take a chance to find it out. I'm posting that just because Western Media either doesn't inform its audience about that or informs with bias.
