  • Alexey Maslov
    Alexey Maslov “We value the stability of Russia-China relations. The one word I can use to describe our relationship is 'trust.' That's very important because if you look at the cooperation with the Western countries, we don't have, and we have never had, mutual trust. But with China, we have a mutual trust. Our cooperation during the last two years developed very fast. The two countries could deepen cooperation in finance and banking, as well as in sci-tech and investment.” 5 hours ago
  • Cui Heng
    Cui Heng “The world will pay attention to the meeting between the top leaders of the two countries to see how China-Russia relations can be promoted to a new height, as strategic ties between the two major powers will greatly affect the international arena.” 5 hours ago
  • Dmitry Peskov
    Dmitry Peskov “We see an unveiled intervention in the internal affairs of Georgia from the outside. This is an internal matter of Georgia. We do not want to interfere there in any way.” 5 hours ago
  • Charles Michel
    Charles Michel “If they want to join the EU, they have to respect the fundamental principles of the rule of law and the democratic principles.” 5 hours ago
  • Antony Blinken
    Antony Blinken “Under our own ten-year agreement, the United States will support the defence and security across a range of essential capabilities - from its air force to its air defence, from drones to demining. If Russia or anyone else were to attack Ukraine, we will work with Ukraine immediately at the highest levels to coordinate how to help you beat back the threat.” 10 hours ago
  • Aleksey Kushch
    Aleksey Kushch “This is an unexpected, but, unfortunately for Ukraine, a very effective move. Unlike many top Russian officials, Belousov has not been involved in corruption scandals and has a reputation as a workaholic technocrat and a devout Orthodox Christian. Putin wants him to clean the Augean stables of the defence ministry so that military spending spearheads the resurgence of Russia's economy. The effectiveness of Russia's military-industrial complex will be boosted, and instead of being a 'black hole' of budget spendings, the defence ministry may become a driver of economic growth, when war spendings stimulate the growth of Russia's GDP.” 13 hours ago

“The war may and probably will last years. So long as there is fighting, it is hard to envisage any form of productive diplomatic engagement, let alone rekindling political and economic links. Certainly, until Putin is in office relations will be confrontational. In case of de-escalation, a new line will be drawn across Eastern Europe leaving Ukraine and possibly Moldova and Georgia on the “Western side”, Belarus on Russia's, and Armenia and Azerbaijan in no-man's land. A Cold War-like scenario will materialise, with the pro-Western countries drawn into EU and NATO's orbit and Russia entrenching itself in whatever parts of Ukraine it might succeed to keep.”

“The alliance [NATO] should make clear that its long phase of expansion is over. Ending the open-door policy, tricky as it would be to execute, and rethinking the security architecture of central and eastern Europe would not be a concession to Putin. To the contrary, it is necessary in order for the most successful alliance of the twentieth century to endure and prosper in the twenty-first.”

“Russia has been waging an advanced form of hybrid warfare in Ukraine and Moscow has also been launching disinformation campaigns across Europe. The strength of NATO should be measured by how successfully it can counter Russia in the grey zone. Hybrid warfare deterrence is not an easy task but NATO should deploy its Counter Hybrid Support Teams in Eastern Europe.”

“It seems that the risk of war in the OSCE area is now greater than ever before in the last 30 years. For several weeks, we have been faced with the prospect of a major military escalation in Eastern Europe. We should focus on a peaceful resolution of the conflict in and around Ukraine.”

“This successful and unique cooperation shows that a pragmatic, mutually beneficial and win-win partnership is the real driving force behind the economic cooperation between China and Hungary. The newly opened flights are fully aligned with the strategy of the Hungarian government to develop into a central European freight, logistics and distribution center. They will also further strengthen the role of Zhengzhou and Budapest as important freight terminals in China and Central and Eastern Europe.”

“It feels … more like another piece of coercive leverage that the Russians are heaping onto this strategic situation in Eastern Europe. It may well have value in that alone, rather than having to be followed through with a full-scale invasion which would be politically disastrous for Putin.”

“Fake news has a huge influence on our population, and in Eastern Europe in general. Something we all have in common in this part of Europe is our political history of communism. Under leaders like Nicolae Ceausescu, Romania's longtime dictator, who was overthrown and executed in 1989, nobody trusted their neighbors, nobody trusted the authorities, nobody trusted anybody.”

“For a long time, China was seen as a new exciting potential investor that would bring a new impetus to [Central and Eastern European] economies. But in most cases, the actual results of the Chinese investments have fallen behind expectations. The fact that a lot of the investment was not actually job-bringing greenfield investment also made the situation worse. So the expectations that China will be a new promising investor are much more muted now.”
