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.” 21 minutes 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.” 31 minutes 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.” 35 minutes ago
Amichai Chikli “The US is not projecting strength under [Biden's] leadership, and it's harming Israel and other countries. He said 'Don't' at the start of the war - to Hezbollah, as well as Iran. We saw the result. If I were an American citizen with the right to vote, I'd vote for Trump and Republicans.” 23 hours ago
Nikolay Mitrokhin “The return of Crimea is absolutely unrealistic. Before the failure of Ukraine's counteroffensive last summer there was a chance to return the annexed peninsula had Ukrainian forces reached the Azov Sea and started shelling the Crimean bridge and the Kerch Strait that divides the Azov and Black seas. But now it's hardly real to penetrate Russian defence farther than the takeover of the Kinburn peninsula.” 23 hours ago

“In 2020, Taiwan was [the US'] ninth-largest trading partner overall, and our seventh-largest consumer of agricultural goods. Only Canada and Mexico consume more on a per-capita basis of US goods, services and products than Taiwan does. Of course, whenever you have a close relationship, there will be obstacles, right? Nothing is ever perfect, but the obstacles that we have I would say are manageable. They're primarily technical in nature. We would love to see Taiwanese companies invest more in the United States. We would love to see and are ready to work on increasing Taiwanese consumers' confidence in American pork products. Now that we're through the referendum, there are a bunch of other issues related to technical certifications for various kinds of devices, but that's all stuff that we work on all the time.”

“[The West] is trying, as they say, to punish those who pursue an independent policy, primarily our country and the People's Republic of China, using all variety of unsuitable tools such as various sanctions, demonization in the media space, provocations by special services and much more.”

“What the Americans are actually doing is they are undermining the 'casus belli' from the Russians. By creating this hysteria, and saying, 'there will be war, there will be war, there will be war,' they don't give the Russians a cause to make a provocation for the war. Because whatever they do, Russia will be recognized as the aggressors, it's a kind of strategy, if Russians do anything to invade, it will be a confirmation. This undermines the beginning of the war, in a good way. The downside is that this hits our economy, potentially causing economic hysteria and driving the value of the hryvnya to 100 per dollar. And then the Russians won't have to invade Ukraine, because the economy will collapse, and we will have big riots.”

“Putin will continue viewing the EU as tangential if he senses a lack of unity. This has been the case so far, making him negotiate directly with the US. Until the EU puts united capabilities behind rhetoric, they will continue to be pushed to the sidelines.”

“I have no idea whether [Putin's] made the ultimate decision, but we certainly see every indication that he is going to use military force sometime perhaps [between] now and the middle of February.”

“In the case of Germany, the new government has not come out as strongly as it should have in diffusing this crisis because of its economic linkages with Russia and energy dependency through the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline. But this also makes Germany look weak.”

“The Kremlin's decision to omit any mention of the EU in its 2021 National Security Strategy shows that Moscow does not consider the EU as an important actor in foreign policy any more.”

“Some EU nations have foreign policies which aim to appease Russia. Their aim is to break the Kremlin's autocratic relation with China and also improve their own economic ties with Russia. Countries in the EU's eastern bloc, who have experienced the Kremlin's threats in the past, have foreign policies which seek to respond to Russia through military solutions which display strength and power. So this creates a disagreement over responding to the crisis in Ukraine.”
