  • Nazar Voloshin
    Nazar Voloshin “The situation in the Kharkiv sector remains complicated but is evolving in a dynamic manner. Our defence forces have partially stabilised the situation. The advance of the enemy in certain zones and localities has been halted.” 3 hours ago
  • Volodymyr Zelenskiy
    Volodymyr Zelenskiy “The situation in the Kharkiv region is generally under control, and our soldiers are inflicting significant losses on the occupier. However, the area remains extremely difficult.” 3 hours ago
  • Bezalel Smotrich
    Bezalel Smotrich “Defense Minister Gallant announced today his support for the establishment of a Palestinian terrorist state as a reward for terrorism and Hamas for the most terrible massacre of the Jewish people since the Holocaust.” 3 hours ago
  • Yoav Gallant
    Yoav Gallant “I must reiterate … I will not agree to the establishment of Israeli military rule in Gaza. Israel must not establish civilian rule in Gaza.” 3 hours ago
  • 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.” 21 hours 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.” 22 hours ago

“They were caught completely by surprise that the Ukrainian army resisted so fiercely and that they faced an actual army. People on the Russian side expected to face rag-tag militias when they invaded Ukraine, not well-drilled regular troops. I told them: 'Guys, that's a mistake'.”

“Taiwan is much easier to defend than invade, and the conditions are very different from Ukraine. It has been assessed that China could launch four amphibious marine landing divisions and two army infantry divisions for a total of about 30,000 troops, at least for the first stage of invasion. However, with Taiwan's domestically developed long-range missiles, together with portable air-defense missile systems, we are certain that we can destroy almost all PLA landing troops.”

“Although China and Russia have moved beyond marriage of convenience to a quasi-alliance, relations between the giant neighbours are far from a formal alliance requiring one to send troops should the other face threats... With the international world so polarised, it's possible the United States and the West would be unified in isolating or sanctioning China together with Russia. An invasion would also show that China's repeated calls for all sides including Russia to resolve the Ukraine crisis peacefully have fallen upon Putin's deaf ears, raising doubts about its effectiveness as an interlocutor.”

“We are, of course, monitoring very closely what Russia does in and around Ukraine. What we see is that they have increased the number of troops and more troops are on their way and so, so far, no de-escalation. But of course, we hear all the messages about diplomacy and we are ready to engage in diplomatic efforts with Russia.”

“This is definitely not an exercise. There are many facts that contradict that idea. This region is not on the schedule for the exercises, but some rather impressive forces have been placed there. It is not just some sort of field camp for soldiers to be moved to the firing ranges. No, this is a forward camp for offensive equipment. The exercises are only set to last 10 days. Even the minimal time periods that soldiers have been told of do not match the official dates of the exercises. We see them [Russian forces] in the Bryansk, Kursk, and Rostov regions and on the territory of the annexed Crimea region. In all these locations there are troops and equipment, although the exercises are taking place in Belarus.”

“I can't see any other reason for having 100,000 troops stationed on the border, apart from to threaten Ukraine. And if Russia is serious about diplomacy, they need to remove those troops and desist from the threats.”

“We have no plans to deploy NATO combat troops to Ukraine...we are focusing on providing support. There is a difference between being a NATO member and being a strong and highly valued partner as Ukraine.”

“One can sort of understand that he wanted to free up his own security forces to put down what he says are essentially terrorist attacks and an attempted coup - which is fairly ridiculous as there are definitely two different groups, most of whom are peaceful protesters in Kazakhstan. But the interesting thing about this is the Collective Security Treaty Organisation that Russia leads has never actually deployed troops in any of its member states when there's been unrest. Its charter states it is not supposed to interfere unless these member states face an external threat - which Tokayev provided by calling these terrorists 'international terrorists' and suggesting that they were trained outside the country.”

“Russia talks about red lines, but implies Western guarantees of non-deployment of troops and arms in Ukraine, which is equal to admitting that Ukraine is the area of special, if not exclusive, interests of Russia.”

“The current daily problem is that troops of opposite sides do not have communication with each other. The same is between Azerbaijani and Armenian Joint Staffs. When one side observes several big trucks with soldiers, he right away suspects possible preparations for an assault. There is no way to check before starting an attack.”
