  • Vladimir Putin
    Vladimir Putin “In a broader sense, we are working to contribute to the development and prosperity of Russia and China by enhancing equal, mutually beneficial economic and humanitarian cooperation, and strengthen foreign policy coordination in the interests of building a just multipolar world order. All this is the key to a future success of our comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination for the new era. The partnership between Russia and China is always based on equality and mutual trust, mutual respect for sovereignty, and consideration of each other's interests. President Xi Jinping, a wise and visionary leader, plays a special and prominent role in the development of bilateral relations. We first met back in March 2010, and we have been seeing and calling each other regularly ever since. President Xi maintains a respectful, friendly, open and at the same time business-like style of communication.” 58 minutes ago
  • Yair Lapid
    Yair Lapid “The government has lost control. Soldiers are being killed every day in Gaza and they fight among themselves on television. The cabinet is disassembled and non-functional. Ministers protest in front of cabinet meetings. One cabinet sends humanitarian aid convoys and the other burns them. Relations with the US are collapsing, the middle class is collapsing, they have lost the north. We can't go on like this. We will not win with this government.” 2 hours ago
  • Vladimir Putin
    Vladimir Putin “We have said many times that whoever is quicker to master the newest means of armed combat wins. We have to be one step ahead. We have everything we need for this, and much has been done, but we need to double and triple our efforts in this area.” 6 hours ago
  • Alena Kudzko
    Alena Kudzko “That is definitely not something that anybody in Slovakia expected. The country has been polarised over the past year amid heightened political tension, especially in the run-up to the elections. But nobody … called for violence in the country. Quite the opposite, everybody right now is trying to unite and send a coherent message, that political violence is not something that we support.” 7 hours ago

“The beginning of the Russian invasion did not take place under a unified command, as there were five different army groups each leading autonomous operations. That will change under Surovikin's [Sergey Surovikin] leadership of the war. The reason it was not possible to have a unified command of all the Russian forces was the distance and lack of information technology to put together all of the command and control facilities and capabilities. What we are seeing now is one person and one headquarters is going to plan out and direct the operation. But it is also a signal that from now on the operation will concentrate on one specific area. It may be Luhansk, it may be Donetsk, it may be in the south. What we are seeing is a shrinking of the operation of Russia.”
