IPSEs IN THE LAST 24H
  • 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.” 3 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.” 3 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.” 4 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.” 4 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.” 4 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.” 4 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.” 13 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.” 13 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.” 13 hours ago

“Dodik survives on conflict. He hates stability because he then has to explain why we are living like we do. Mr. Dodik plays on the emotions of his people and doesn't care about the consequences.”

“[Having separate armies - Republika Srpska army and Bosnian army] It means conflict, war, and death. Tell us about your projections, Mr Dodik: what does the RS army represent? Do we have money for tanks, airplanes? The conditions to put up checkpoints at the entity line? Give your answers to the citizens.”

“The High Representative needs to present a plan for solving the crisis, and the US, EU Member States need to fully support him in putting that plan into practice. The important thing here is not to give in to Dodik's [Milorad Dodik] salami-slicing tactics, but to respond to any escalation with credible threat of penalties - sanctions, asset freezes, travel bans.”

“Empty words only encourage Dodik [Milorad Dodik] and his regime to continue with their secessionist moves. The red line is moving down all the time. What was unimaginable for anyone to say, let alone do, in 2005, is completely normal today. In other words, Dodik is doing all this because he understands that the international community is not going to react properly.”

“Calls for secession and steps to weaken the whole state, especially from Republika Srpska and from Milorad Dodik, the Serbian member of the three-member presidency, are totally irresponsible and unacceptable.”

“They are genocide survivors, mothers or seniors that live alone. I was called to meet with them and talk, but I have no words of consolation because I, myself, cannot handle what is happening in Bosnia. This is a difficult situation. There is a lot of talk, whispering and stories circulating, just like it was in the 1990s before the war broke out. Dodik [Milorad Dodik] is doing his job, he's not going back, but the international community which betrayed us in 1995 is trying to betray us again. They should have done something a long time ago … They all say: 'We're watching, we're observing, we're following' … but in reality, they've divided Bosnia.”

“The RS [Republika Srpska] entity assembly has officially adopted a proposal to create its own drug procurement agency; the first of its para-state offices following Dodik's 'pull out' from BiH [Bosnia and Herzegovina] institutions. Critical that BIH authorities & international community respond credibly to this putsch. This is secession in all but name. And he's testing the waters. If Dodik and his masters in Moscow and Belgrade feel the response here is weak - which I fear it is likely to be - they're going to escalate even further.”

“The EU's waning soft power will slow down the democratisation process in the region and open space for other countries to walk in. There's no such a thing as a limbo in international relations … in the last… particularly five years let's say, China has been filling in the space which is neglected by Brussels. Moscow sees this as an opportunity and will increase its support to groups and politicians like Dodik [Milorad Dodik] in Bosnia or [Serbian President Aleksandar] Vucic in Belgrade or will do its best to keep the situation in Kosovo frozen.”

“Behind that is the need to protect Dodik's own position and the SNSD structures, which in RS [Republika Srpska] have created a kind of kleptocratic-clientelistic rule, which behind the screen of caring for the Serbian people and nationalist rhetoric ultimately takes care of itself. The position of Dodik and SNSD [Alliance of Independent Social Democrats] is well shaken in some parts of RS and they feel it. It is also a reason for great nervousness and intensified ethnonationalism rhetoric and artificially raising tensions and creating crises. For politicians like Milorad Dodik, ready to do anything to stay in power and protect their own privileges and the privileges of the clique, there is no life outside of politics.”

“Dodik has admitted that he committed and continues to commit the criminal offence of unauthorized wiretapping of third parties, in this case, members of opposition parties. This is a member of the presidency who has admitted a criminal offence in front of the rostrum of the highest legislative body. Since the competent authorities did not react, we must file a criminal complaint”
