  • Yi Wang
    Yi Wang “No conflict or war ends on the battlefield, but rather at the negotiating table. China supports the convening at an appropriate time of an international peace conference that is acceptable to the Russian and Ukrainian sides with the participation of all parties equally. There, peace plans can be discussed, fairly, to achieve a ceasefire as soon as possible. We must always insist on an objective and just position, there is no magic wand to solve the crisis. All parties should start with themselves.” 2 hours ago
  • Boris Pistorius
    Boris Pistorius “Russia is already producing weapons and ammunition beyond its need for conducting an aggressive war against Ukraine. With increased spending on armaments and the streamlining of the military economy, a significant portion or part of what is produced no longer goes to the front line, but ends up in warehouses. Now you can be naive and say he's doing it just out of caution. As a sceptical person, I would say in this case that he's doing it because he has plans or could have them.” 8 hours ago
  • Emmanuel Macron
    Emmanuel Macron “There is a risk our Europe could die. We are not equipped to face the risks. Russia must not be allowed to win in Ukraine. Europeans should give preference to buying European military equipment. We must produce more, we must produce faster, and we must produce as Europeans.” 8 hours ago
  • Aleksey Kushch
    Aleksey Kushch “By including the Ukraine package in a bill that also provides military aid to Israel and Taiwan, the US shows the world that it equals Ukraine's and Israel's archenemies - Russia and Iran. This is a mighty geopolitical slap for China. As the trade turnover between Russia and China rose to $240bn last year, the more the US pushes Beijing, the more discounts for oil and gas China gets from Russia.” 9 hours ago
  • Nikolay Mitrokhin
    Nikolay Mitrokhin “The aid is a surprisingly exact match of Ukrainian military's needs that mostly has a deficit of air defence weaponry of all kinds and also needs to replenish its arsenal of tank destroyers, anti-infantry landmines and other kinds of ammunition. It's obviously needed to deliver infantry and other ground troops to the front line but not for an advance - otherwise the US would have given tanks.” 9 hours ago
  • Ihor Romanenko
    Ihor Romanenko “The aid can improve the situation on the 1,000km-long (620-mile-long) front line. But the aid looks like a handout to show that we haven't been forgotten, no more than that. They're always late, they hit the brakes, they're afraid. All of that is done to catch up [with Russia], but wars are won by those who act ahead of time.” 9 hours ago

“If you look at the way the economy is unfolding, largely things are happening in the urban areas where normal activity has resumed in the period after the COVID pandemic, but there's a fair amount of stress in rural areas which is reflected in the consumption demand. The budget is a sign of a government very comfortable in the prospects of its re-election. They are far more confident of their re-election this time than the previous interim budget in 2019, so played their cards accordingly on the budget … and did not go against convention.”

“Apart from India's increased purchases of Russian oil, the relationship had been less close since the Ukraine invasion. Still India will remain reliant on Russia to some degree, particularly in the energy and defense sectors. Russia is the only country that has provided India with nuclear reactors - notwithstanding the fact that India signed a nuclear deal in 2008 with the United States.”

“The best summary I've heard is that hosting the G20 is like being the host of the diplomatic World Cup - it's a big draw and a lot of publicity and media attention which you would not have otherwise. There's no way this government would have gotten so much attention from international leaders otherwise.”

“The world cannot be that Eurocentric that it used to be in the past. If I were to take Europe collectively, which has been singularly silent on many things which were happening, for example in Asia, you could ask why would anybody in Asia trust Europe on anything at all.”

“I see it mainly with respect to India's longstanding ties with Russia and the fact of our dependence on military supplies and partially we believe that Russia has some genuine concerns which could have been taken into consideration. India's statements, focused on the need for diplomacy, make it very difficult to derive a clear-cut meaning. India has […] not supported Russia's actions, Russia's recognition of breakaway republics [in eastern Ukraine], or Russia's military intervention in Ukraine. But at the same time, if we say diplomacy was not given a chance, it can be construed mainly against Russia, but also partially Ukraine and NATO.”

“The bridge by China is a part of their grey-zone operation which is done below the war threshold level. While presenting the threat of a war, they will continue with their grey-zone operations which is what they are doing by building up the bridge. The overall military threat will keep increasing, it will not decrease. I think we should be losing sleep. But that doesn't seem to be the case. The bridge is intimidation and the troops in place are a big concern.”

“I think the history on the record of India's civic violence shows either the state does something that provokes the violence (against Muslims) or does not do enough to stop it. I think the government of India needs to take it seriously … The people outside are naturally alarmed when such things are said in India and nothing is done by the state.”

“They [B.J.P. leaders] thought they were going to ride the tiger, easily tame it and get down. But you can't easily tame a tiger. If you ride the tiger, you have to decide that at some point the tiger is going to eat. Modi [Narendra Modi] decided to allow the tiger to eat sometimes and lead the tiger when he wants to.”

“There are virtually only a handful of political leaders left who even mention the need to preserve India's secularism. The B.J.P. may face increasing political challenges, but it has won its cultural war, with lasting effects on India's democracy, and on India's largest minority.”

“Omicron was the only fear for markets. Once they know it is not severe, market recovery is likely possible because corporate earnings are going to be very good with crude and commodity prices cooling off. Margin expansion is likely. This correction was an opportunity to buy. The fears of a third wave of COVID-19 have mellowed down, which is positive for markets.”

“It's a matter of compulsion for India's armed forces that if we want high-tech equipment then we also need to buy low-tech equipment, as well. In that sense India is very dependent on Russia and this dependency is a powerful factor in bilateral relations. Moreover it's undeniable that no one else will offer such items or technology as a nuclear submarine or assistance with nuclear submarine propulsion.”

“Fundamentally all defence purchases are aimed at maintaining the balance of power against adversaries, but I think India understands that defence ties with Russia and the US are serving different purposes beyond basic capability-based arithmetic. The US is an Indo-Pacific power with skin in the game against China. Russia is able to share sensitive strategic technologies. Both work to India's advantage in different ways.”

“The cancellation of Faruqui's [Munawar Faruqui] shows is targeted economic and social boycott, aimed at crippling [him] and silencing not just dissent but also free speech. It is a direct attack not only on his freedom of speech, but on his freedom to practise his profession and eventually his right to life with dignity… It is an attack on a range of fundamental constitutionally guaranteed rights as well as basic human rights. We should not at all blur the fact that relentless and targeted attack on Munawar Faruqui is on two counts. One because he is a Muslim. Two, he is a Muslim who is speaking against the atrocities committed by the state and by majoritarian groups against Muslims. He is asking inconvenient, uncomfortable questions and therefore he is being targeted. If the police and state authorities allow the writ of the mob to run, then this cannot be a country run by the rule of law.”

“Mr. Modi's [Narendra Modi] retreat could give India's democracy a shot in the arm. It shows that even if the government repeals these laws for electoral reasons, elections still work as a formal mechanism to keep governments in check. It also shows that more substantive aspects of democratic participation like civil protests can be successful. It's good news for India's battered democracy.”

“The perception of India's announcement depends on the benchmark used. The 2070 net-zero target was diplomatically necessary - the last major economy to fall in the basket - but more a box to be checked under diplomatic pressure, and ideally should have been linked to developed countries reaching net zero before 2050.”

“Yes, it is a matter of concern that the large-scale buildup has occurred and continues to be in place, and to sustain that kind of a buildup, there has been an equal amount of infrastructure development on the Chinese side. So, it means that they (China) are there to stay. We are keeping a close watch on all these developments, but if they are there to stay, we are there to stay, too.”

“The term Indo-Pacific underlines the inherent connectivity and indivisibility of the interests of the littoral states of the two oceans, Indian and the Pacific. The popularity of the idea reflects not only contemporary geopolitics, but also the reality of globalization. Unless we conceptualize them together, we will not be able to respond to, and make the best of, the evolving trends in this part of the world. Indo-Pacific is our homeland. Whether to concentrate on our east or west, whether to focus on our immediate or extended neighborhood is a false choice. Today, East Asia and the Pacific are the most dynamic arena of India's global engagement as a result of three decades of intensive economic cooperation, giving this region the highest heft and priority for our well-being. The Indo-Pacific being our home and source of our economic vitality, India has a deep and legitimate interest in maintaining its free, open and inclusive character, in preserving peace, security and prosperity, and in promoting respect for international law in the Indo-Pacific.”

“India's decision to continue to engage with the Quad, meanwhile, is particularly significant. New Delhi is less concerned about the South China Sea than the other nations, and more concerned with its disputed border with China and maritime security in the Indian Ocean. India, the only Quad country that shares a land border with China, has a particularly delicate balancing game to play. Seeing how India plays that game going forward, while maintaining its relationship with the Quad and its commitment to its vision for Asia is, in my view, of immense consequences for the Quad itself but also the future of the region.”

“The Taliban takeover delivers a body blow to India's strategic interests. Afghanistan will now have a pro-Pakistan government, and this will give Pakistan and India's other key rival, China - Pakistan's close friend - an opportunity to play more of a role in Afghanistan. There will also be security risks, because the Taliban takeover will galvanise regional militants, including anti-India terror groups.”

“How you define the 'one China policy' is very different [between countries]. We can always say that we follow the 'one China policy' but Taiwan is not part of China. The U.S. has its own way of maneuvering through this. Whatever India does, its government has to consider things carefully, as unlike with the U.S., China is India's neighbor. Due to our proximity, India's 'one China policy' has to be very nuanced and consider a lot of factors.”
