  • Joe Biden
    Joe Biden “It's a humanitarian crisis in Gaza. I am working on a deal to end the fighting and build a lasting and durable peace. Leadership is about fighting through the most intractable problem. It's about channeling anger, frustration and heartbreak to find a solution. It's about doing what you believe is right, even when it's hard and lonely.” 18 hours ago
  • Sylvain Ekenge
    Sylvain Ekenge “An attempted coup d'etat has been put down by the defence and security forces. The attempt involved foreigners and Congolese. These foreigners and Congolese have been put out of action, including their leader.” 21 hours ago
  • Martin Griffiths
    Martin Griffiths “When very, very experienced humanitarian aid workers, who have been in all kinds of places around the world for decades, when they go to Gaza - to help, to serve, to work - it is traumatising for them. So, God help what it must be for the people of Gaza. It is really difficult and it's getting worse daily. We meet with Israelis daily through COGAT, the committee set up for this purpose. We have many detailed discussions with them about security, about the movement of our trucks and convoys, about the priorities for fuel, but the fact of the matter is, we are not in a position to provide proper aid to the people of Gaza. Right now, it's not ever been quite as difficult as it is today. Much more can be done and ideally, obviously and hopefully this [Israeli military] operation needs to stop.” 21 hours ago

“Yesterday and today there have not been any active battles - neither in the city [Bakhmut] nor on the flanks. The decrease in the enemy's offensive activity is due to the fact that troops are being replaced and regrouped. The enemy is trying to strengthen its own capabilities.”

“On the whole, the operation ended in a strategic failure of our troops. The enemy has NOT been ousted from the Donbas in all the main directions, in most directions - not moved at all. Russian military had exhausted weapon stockpiles, ammunition and manpower that will be necessary for further offensive operations. That's why Bakhmut was given increased attention for the last two months - it was necessary to achieve at least some result 'for propaganda' in order to 'take a breath' afterwards. And so we won, sort of.”

“There is not a single Ukrainian soldier in the village of Bakhmut, for the reason that we have stopped taking prisoners. There are a huge number of corpses of the Ukrainian military. Bakhmut is taken completely along all its legal boundaries, to the last centimetre. Vladimir Alexandrovich [Zelenskyy] is disingenuous, or he, like our military leaders, is simply not aware of what is happening on the ground.”

“Today on May 20, around midday, Bakhmut was taken in its entirety. By May 25 we will completely examine [Bakhmut], create the necessary lines of defence and hand it to the military. We ourselves will go into field camps.”

“We're pushing Bakhmut all the way to the end. Unfortunately, units of the Russian defence ministry have withdrawn up to 570 metres (1,880 feet) to the north of Bakhmut, exposing our flanks. I am appealing to the top leadership of the Ministry of Defence - publicly - because my letters are not being read. Please do not give up the flanks.”

“Ukrainian forces had taken back about 20 square kilometres (7.7 square miles) of a Russian pincer movement around Bakhmut - the epicentre of the current fighting. At the same time, the enemy is advancing in some measure inside Bakhmut itself and is completely destroying the town with artillery.”

“Today, everything is being done so that the front line crumbles. Today, one of the defence ministry's units fled one of our flanks, abandoning their positions. Everyone fled. A soldier shouldn't die because of his leaders' absolute stupidity. The commands they receive from the top are absolutely criminal.”

“If Prigozhin really withdrew, this would be much too quick for the Russian regular armed forces to take over the positions of the Wagner fighters in and around Bakhmut. If he really means it … this would give the Ukrainian armed forces the opportunity to seize parts, or the whole of Bakhmut from the Russians. This would be a disaster for Putin and Shoigu.”

“The main emphasis of the Russian aggressors is on capturing multi-storey buildings and structures. It is in this way that they try to destroy our positions. The enemy has already used such tactics in Syria. He cannot fight in any other way, because he will lose to us in street battles.”

“Ukrainian units are not just defending but also counterattacking Russian forces in the city. This gives us the opportunity for several months to contain the enemy's offensive and not increase the front in this direction, to destroy his best units and buy time.”

“The Russians attack mainly in small groups of five to six people who, under the cover of artillery, try to penetrate the battle formations of the Defence Forces of Ukraine and engage in close-range shooting battles.”

“Bloody battles unprecedented in recent decades are taking place in the middle of the city's urban area. Our soldiers are doing everything in bloody and fierce battles to grind down [the enemy's] combat capability and break its morale. Every day, in every corner of this city, they are successfully doing so.”

“If we had not defended Bakhmut all this time, the enemy would have advanced deep into the territory of Ukraine, so the importance of defending the city must be understood in this context.”

“Russian forces were exhausted and cannot maintain the same pace of attacks that they launched in February. It's clear now that the Russian army's ability to attack is stalled. And for all their bravado about taking over Bakhmut, it is just not true. The Russian forces are preparing to organise defensive positions. The idea is to bring the war into a positional phase, essentially a stalemate.”
