Abu Obeida “The enemy has achieved nothing except carrying out death and destruction in its 200 days of war on Gaza. Israel is still trying to recover and restore its image. The enemy is in a quagmire, stuck in the sands of Gaza. It will reap nothing but shame and defeat. Two hundreds days on and our resistance in Gaza is as solid as the mountains of Palestine. We will continue our strikes and resistance as long as the occupation's aggression continues on our land. The occupation forces are trying to convince the world that they have eliminated all resistance factions, and this is a big lie.” 4 hours ago
Rishi Sunak “We will put the UK's own defence industry on a war footing. One of the central lessons of the war in Ukraine is that we need deeper stockpiles of munitions and for industry to be able to replenish them more quickly.” 5 hours ago
Wang Wenbin “The United States has unveiled a large-scale aid bill for Ukraine while also making groundless accusations against normal trade between China and Russia. This kind of approach is extremely hypocritical and utterly irresponsible, and China is firmly opposed to it.” 5 hours ago
Antony Blinken “When it comes to Russia's defense industrial base the primary contributor in this moment to that is China. We see China sharing machine tools, semiconductors, other dual use items that have helped Russia rebuild the defense industrial base. China can't have it both ways. It can't afford that. You want to have positive, friendly relations with countries in Europe, and at the same time, you are fueling the biggest threat to European security since the end of the Cold War.” 5 hours ago
Sergei Shoigu “In proportion to the threats posed by the United States and its allies, we will continue to improve the composition and structure of the armed forces and increase the production of the most popular weapons and military equipment. We will increase the intensity of attacks on logistics centres and storage bases for Western weapons.” 5 hours ago
Kyrylo Budanov “According to our assessment, we are anticipating a rather difficult situation shortly. However, it is not catastrophic, and this must be understood. Armageddon will not happen, despite what many are starting to claim. But we anticipate problems from mid-May. The Russians will adopt a multifaceted approach. They are orchestrating a complex operation... It will be a difficult period. [Expect this to unfold] around mid-May to early June.” 22 hours ago

“The likelihood that Ukraine is going to join NATO in the near term is not very likely, based on much more work they have to do in terms of democracy and a few other things going on there.”

“How we exit this global emergency is up to us. It could be more of the same: violent economies in which billionaire wealth booms, inequality is ever-deadlier and self-defeating greed reigns. Or, if we demand it, there could be profound change: economies centred on equality in which nobody lives in poverty, nor with unimaginable billionaire wealth, in which inequality no longer kills… in which hope reigns.”

“They [locals in Kiev] think there is a lot of talk at the moment, a lot of fearmongering, but you don't get the idea that there's panic among people - certainly a bit of worry. You don't get this sense that there is mass panic about it. There's no run to the supermarkets, people are going about their lives. Also, people do feel confident that this time the Ukrainian ministry is much stronger, it has received much training, it has received much military hardware; it is in a better position than it was in 2014.”

“This [military] support not only speaks to our strategic plans of Ukraine joining the alliance, but more importantly to the level of our military, our military supplies. Your [Antony Blinken] visit is very important. It underlines once again your powerful support of our independence and sovereignty.”

“Our strength depends on preserving our unity and that includes unity within Ukraine. I think one of Moscow's longstanding goals has been to try to sow divisions between and within our countries, and quite simply we cannot and will not let them do that.”

“My guess is he will move in. He has to do something. Russia will be held accountable if it invades - and it depends on what it does. It's one thing if it's a minor incursion and we end up having to fight about what to do and what to not do, etcetera. But if they actually do what they're capable of doing … it is going to be a disaster for Russia if they further invade Ukraine.”

“One of the things that we have seen is that Russia is looking for excuses or reasons to continue and even escalate its aggression against Ukraine... We're looking at many different factors when we make decisions on how to best support the people of Ukraine. The bottom line is we will be there to continue supporting the people of Ukraine through multiple levels and layers of support... While I won't get into operational details, I can tell you the Canadian Armed Forces, the Canadian foreign service, our multilateral partners, we're all looking at a range of possibilities and contingencies to make sure that we are best able to keep people safe and support the Ukrainian people.”

“Korea and member countries of the GCC have economic structures that complement each other, and they have achieved economic progress and prosperity through reciprocal partnerships. The cooperation between the two sides is now expanding to various fields including healthcare, science, technology, defense, info-tech and intellectual property. The partnership is now entering the next dimension.”

“Neither [China and United States] has, or likely will achieve, the credible capability to attain all-out victory against the other, in light of the nuclear arsenals available to each side. Were China to attempt to take Taiwan by force and fail, the former would not simply abandon its mission. Instead, it would try other means, be they military or economic, to annex Taiwan, leading to a prolonged conflict. Conversely, were China to attack and win a fight against Taiwanese and U.S.-allied forces, an embittered U.S. and its allies would be certain to try to open another battlefront against China at a later stage, further endangering world peace.”

“Slovenia and Taiwan are working on exchanging representatives. Of course, this will not be on the level of embassies. It will be on the same level as many of the EU member countries. When I spoke with our businessmen who are trading with Taiwan, they told me that we are trading with Taiwan, but those companies from Taiwan are also trading with mainland China... They are doing this amongst themselves, but at the same time they're opposing the same relations between Taiwan and other countries, which is ridiculous.”

“Chinese laws are very vague on the crimes that can be used to prosecute people's free speech. There are all kinds of crimes that can be levelled at peaceful, critical comments. And in China the conviction rate is 99%.”

“Upgrading economic cooperation will be a key priority of the trip. Russia will also use the trip to facilitate a return to the Iran nuclear deal. Cooperation on regional security issues will also feature, as Moscow highlights its Gulf security plan and planned trilateral drills with China and Iran. On Syria, Afghanistan and Yemen, Russia and Iran are likely to hold consultations, and we should watch in particular for their responses to the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan and the Houthi strike on the UAE.”

“I strongly, strongly hope that we can keep this on a diplomatic and peaceful path, but, ultimately, that's going to be President Putin's decision. We know that there are plans in place to increase that force even more on very short notice, and that gives President Putin the capacity, also on very short notice, to take further aggressive action against Ukraine.”
