IPSEs IN THE LAST 24H
  • 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.” 6 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.” 6 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.” 6 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.” 6 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.” 11 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.” 14 hours ago

“Israel and Hamas remain far apart in negotiations for a new deal to reach a truce in Gaza. I think that it's hard to square Israel's endgame. Their objective remains trying to finish off Hamas, which the US has said is impossible. Effectively, what this means is that they want to continue to bomb Gaza and further destroy it, even though they've already destroyed most of it. Hamas, on the other hand, wants a permanent ceasefire. So how do you square those two opposing aims and conditions? That's the problem right now. US is pushing hard for a deal before the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. I don't think the Israelis care so much about Ramadan. Last year, Israel was beating Palestinian worshippers at the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound with batons. But I think the US understands that they're going to look really bad if Israel is systematically preventing aid and bombing Palestinians during the Muslim holy month, and that's why I think they're ramping up pressure.”

“Only more pressure on Hamas in Ramadan will force them to kneel and release the Israeli captives. We must not allow Hamas to choose who is released from among our abductors, and the demand must be the release of all abductees.”

“Ramadan is coming up, and there's been an agreement by the Israelis that they would not engage in activities during Ramadan, as well, in order to give us time to get all the hostages out.”

“Israeli government is still unclear on the type of restrictions it will take in the Muslim holy month against worshippers trying to pray at Al-Aqsa Mosque. It's due to pressure from the more right-wing ministers who are calling for matters to be resolved with a firm hand. But the army knows that Ramadan is a powder keg that can lead to an explosive situation, especially with the ongoing war in Gaza. Netanyahu is looking to side with Smotrich and Ben-Gvir, who don't want to see any restrictions lifted during Ramadan, while the military is concerned about things spilling over in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem.”

“I think it's a second wave. In our country, it started earlier because of our big Muslim community, which celebrated Ramadan [in late April and May] … After that, big numbers started to appear. We could do nothing more, because we are a democratic party and our constitution mentions that there are freedoms that cannot be controlled even during war or emergency. One of these is freedom of religion.”
