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.” 7 hours ago
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.” 12 hours ago
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.” 12 hours ago
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.” 13 hours ago
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.” 13 hours ago
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.” 13 hours ago

“A referendum in the sovereign territory of another state is not a practice accepted by any democratic country. Serbs in Kosovo with dual citizenship can vote in Serbia's referendum by mail or in the liaison office in Pristina.”

“These designations convey our serious and ongoing concern about the DPRK's continued proliferation activities and those who support it. The United States will use every appropriate tool to address the DPRK's WMD and ballistic missile programs, which constitute a serious threat to international peace and security and undermine the global nonproliferation regime.”

“North Korea's so-called hypersonic weapon is not technologically ready for deployment. But state media hyped the latest test, personally supervised by Kim Jong-un, as 'final verification' of a new military capability. This looks like classic North Korean box checking, claiming success of an agenda item from Kim's earlier speech in an attempt to bolster political legitimacy and increase diplomatic pressure. Nonetheless, Pyongyang's ability to threaten its neighbors continues to grow, underlining the urgency of U.S.-South Korea-Japan cooperation on missile defense and the need for greater accountability in China and Russia's enforcement of UN sanctions.”

“If Russia walks away... it will be quite apparent they were never serious about pursuing diplomacy and that is why collectively we are preparing for every eventuality. The heavy pace of bilateral and multilateral engagements this week demonstrates that the United States and our allies and partners are not dragging our feet. It is Russia that has to make a stark choice: de-escalation and diplomacy or confrontation and consequences.”

“Of course, Russia is concerned over any NATO expansion. NATO is not an instrument of development, it is an instrument of confrontation.”

“There are significant differences between NATO allies and Russia on this issue. Our differences will not be easy to bridge, but it is a positive sign that all NATO allies and Russia sat down around the same table and engaged on substantive topics. The allies had agreed to hold a series of meetings with Moscow on a variety of strategic issues. Russia was not in a position to agree on that proposal. They didn't reject it either, but the Russian representatives made it clear that they needed some time to come back to NATO with an answer.”

“The situation regarding European security and our national interests has reached a critical line. The alliance [NATO] has been conceived as such [as an instrument of confrontation], and it's how it has been organised and is developing now. It's quite obvious, so the expansion of this mechanism poses a threat to us.”

“The two sides' positions have only become even more deeply entrenched … and there are two very opposing viewpoints. It seems that nobody is talking about any great breakthroughs at this stage.”

“The main challenges for women are those reflected across the country at large - the financial and economic. Most Afghans live in rural areas where people depend on agriculture rather than formal employment to make a living. But now, they are struggling to get by and there's a massive surge in food insecurity. Women who were in the public sector, alongside the men, are receiving salaries irregularly, if at all.”

“Charity from people helped me a lot. But now, there's nothing [coming in] and I understand why. People are jobless. There are thousands of widows in this country who used to work. Now that the Taliban has taken over the country, all women have been made to stay home. What can a woman do to support her family? Things were better before. My kids were going to school - girls and boys. We used to receive donations, and women were free.”

“At this point, we would encourage Tokayev to make use of this moment to speak the truth about what happened over the past week. Questions will continue to be asked about the official version of events, which at this point does not seem entirely credible and lewd to unnecessary speculations. An independent, international inquiry into the events may become necessary.”
