  • Wang Wenbin
    Wang Wenbin “China is not the creator of or a party to the Ukraine Crisis. We have been on the side of peace and dialogue and committed to promoting peace talks. We actively support putting in place a balanced, effective and sustainable European security architecture. Our fair and objective position and constructive role have been widely recognized. 'Let the person who tied the bell on the tiger untie it,' to quote a Chinese saying. Our message to the US: stop shifting the blame on China; do not try to drive a wedge between China and Europe; and it is time to stop fueling the flame and start making real contribution to finding a political solution to the Ukraine crisis.” 7 hours ago
  • Korean Central News Agency
    Korean Central News Agency “On May 17, the North Korean Missile General Bureau conducted a test launch of a tactical ballistic missile equipped with a new navigation system of autonomous guidance. The test launch confirmed the accuracy and reliability of the system. The launch was carried out as part of the regular activities of the North Korean Missile General Bureau and subordinate defense research institutes for the active development of weapons technology.” 7 hours ago
  • Yang Moo-jin
    Yang Moo-jin “It is part of North Korea's propaganda approach to develop a voice in global affairs. Kim's statement comes amid Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping holding talks in Beijing, the West pressuring North Korea and Russia with sanctions and South Korea planning to stage Ulchi Freedom Shiled, a joint annual military drill with the U.S. in August. It may be true that North Korea is honing existing weapons to attack Seoul, but we cannot rule out the possibility of the country pulling weapons from its stocks and shipping them to Russia after further testing and deploying.” 7 hours ago
  • Park Won-gon
    Park Won-gon “Kim's [Kim Yo-jong syster of the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un] statement suggests that North Korea is concerned about international sanctions. I believe sanctions are still an effective tool. North Korea fears that if it admits its arms dealings with Russia, it may turn its European allies into enemies.” 7 hours ago
  • Kim Yo-jong
    Kim Yo-jong “We have no intention to export our military technical capabilities to any country or open them to the public. Our tactical weapons, including multiple rocket launchers and missiles, will be used to prevent Seoul from inventing any idle thinking.” 8 hours ago
  • Frank Kendall
    Frank Kendall “China has fielded a number of space capabilities designed to target our forces. And we're not going to be able operate in the Western Pacific successfully unless we can defeat those. China had tripled its network of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance satellites since 2018.” 8 hours ago
  • Ants Kiviselg
    Ants Kiviselg “The Russian Armed Forces are advancing on the recently opened Kharkiv front, but their pace is slowing down. This and the nature of their behaviour rather indicate a desire to create a buffer zone. Russian troops have attacked and destroyed important bridges in the area of Vovchansk, which creates a natural barrier between Ukrainian and Russian forces. This is more an indication of the intention of Russian forces to build a defensive line than to create a bridgehead for an advance on Kharkiv.” 17 hours ago
  • Vladimir Putin
    Vladimir Putin “Russia is ready and able to continuously power the Chinese economy, businesses, cities and towns with affordable and environmentally clean energy.” 17 hours ago
  • Alexey Muraviev
    Alexey Muraviev “There are limits to the two nations' ties, despite their insistence that it is limitless. The limits are that the two countries don't have a formal alliance agreement. To me, that's very clearly a sign that there are limitations to what seems to be a limitless relationship. Neither side is prepared to unconditionally commit to support each other on issues like Ukraine.” 17 hours ago

“Even if the U.N.-led process does move forward, it would likely lead to essentially an agreement between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis that doesn't solve the underlying conflict between the Houthis and the anti-Houthi forces.”

“They [Houthis] have stockpiles of advanced weapons provided to them in many cases, or enabled to them in many cases, by Iran. We are taking out these stockpiles so that they will not be able to conduct as many attacks over time. That will take time to play out.”

“Whether the strikes will in fact deter further attacks on shipping will depend on how the Houthis respond. Is this the hill they want to die on? They were doing well, they have been able to survive the last eight years, have expanded their power, but now they are inviting air strikes from the world's most powerful military.”

“Tehran has been a thoroughly malign influence in the region and in the world. You've got the Houthis, you've got Hezbollah, you've got the Iranian-backed militias in Iraq that have actually been attacking British and American bases, troops. And, of course, Hamas. So you've got all of these proxies, and I think it's incredibly important that, first of all, Iran receives an incredibly clear message that this escalation will not be tolerated.”

“I think it's just strategic exhaustion, the Houthis for a long time have felt that their success was inevitable, but they had a huge setback in Marib [city], which has been besieged for over a year… At the same time, you see an expansion into Saudi Arabia and Abu Dhabi…I think both sides realised, this war is not going the way we want to, maybe we're going to have to settle for half a loaf.”

“Recent Houthi advances in and around Marib were posing a growing threat to [the UAE's] interests; this led the UAE to push the [UAE-backed] Giants Brigades to move from the west coast, where they are based, and to confront Houthi advances. The UAE was careful not to lose face, but I would expect that in the future, they will try to avoid direct and large scale confrontation, as much as possible, between militias it supports and the Houthis. It will try to continue focusing on building influence in the south, and avoid confrontation with the Houthis. But that is a difficult balance to strike.”

“The situation is becoming more dangerous because the nature of weapons being used in the attacks is becoming more deadly. The Houthis are trying to bring pressure to the Saudi-UAE coalition to bring things to a favorable close. The only way this [conflict] is going to be resolved is if the Saudi, the Emirates and Houthis sit directly to together and work things out. There isn't any alternative because neither side has been able to gain an advantage over the other.”

“There's a difficult dilemma facing the Emirati authorities now. They are increasingly under threat from the Houthis, but at the same time … we've had a pretty extensive military campaign in Yemen and rather than reduce the missile threats to the GCC states, what we've seen instead is an increase in that threat. If the UAE decides to target the Houthis more aggressively, that would be stoking tensions further and triggering a downwards spiral. It's going to have to be something that goes beyond just purely defensive military posture … It will have to involve diplomacy, efforts to increase the resilience of critical civilian and energy infrastructure in the country.”

“It would be silly for the Houthis to leave all areas in Yemen to use the Sanaa airport as it is under 24 hours monitoring by Saudi backed forces. It was silly to see al-Malki [Saudi General Turki al-Malki] talking about what he called 'outside intervention' of parties outside of Yemen - as he said Hezbollah and Iran - but we see at the back [at the press conference] flags of 12 countries that are involved in the war.”

“The decision by Saudi Arabia and the UAE [United Arab Emirates] to summon their ambassadors from Lebanon is a reminder that despite the broader atmosphere of de-escalation in the region, red lines have not changed. Both states view the Houthis as an arm of Iranian influence in Yemen, and are not willing to tolerate clear expressions of support for the group from the Lebanese state, nor are they unwilling to take action when they see Lebanon straying too far away from their sphere of influence.”

“Most of the fighters advancing towards Marib are from Marib province. [The Houthis] are mainly using fighters from the area that they are going to liberate, and this sends a good message. If all the people there were against the [Houthis], I don't think they could advance one metre.”

“There is no government military strategy. These government offensives are usually an attempt to increase activity on a front line, alleviate popular discontent, or get more funding. No decision has been taken to push for victory, that is very clear. Instead, most offensives are merely aimed at presenting an image to the media, and lifting the morale of the troops. The government would need to completely change its leadership in order to change its military performance. The leadership, led by President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, was part of Saleh's [Ali Abdullah Saleh] corrupt system. He is a man who was the silent vice president between 1994 and 2011, and is used to doing nothing. The Houthis do not need to control the whole country to win, just the areas they currently control, where most of the Yemeni population live. Can they do more? Possibly. But a total victory would be difficult, and the country would prove impossible to govern.”

“The Houthis are saying that they are responding to the latest escalation in the area with intense Saudi-led coalition strikes targeting Houthi positions in Sanaa. At the same time, by the end of this month, we will be commemorating the sixth anniversary of the Saudi-led coalition against the Houthis. The attack yesterday, deeper into Saudi Arabia, targeting vital refineries … is a message by the Houthis that they are far from being defeated and that they will continue to gain ground and expand their military influence.”
