  • Jimmy Rushton
    Jimmy Rushton “Shoigu's replacement with a (relatively experienced and apparently competent) economist [Andrei Belousov] pretty clearly signals Putin believes victory in Ukraine will come via outproducing (and outlasting) Ukraine and her Western allies. He's preparing for many more years of war.” 16 hours ago
  • Konstantin Sonin
    Konstantin Sonin “Things are not going according to Putin's plan, but he will endlessly rotate the same small group of loyalists. Putin has always feared to bring new people to the positions of authority - even in the best of times, they must have been nobodies with no own perspectives. Toward the end of his rule, even more so.” 16 hours ago
  • Mark Galeotti
    Mark Galeotti “With an economist taking over the Defence Ministry, and the old minister taking up a policy and advisory role, the technocrats are in the ascendant. The goal though is not peace, but a more efficient war. As Putin digs in for the long term, with the 'special military operation' now being the central organising principle of his regime, he knows he needs technocrats to keep his war machine going.” 17 hours ago
  • Jeff Hawn
    Jeff Hawn “This indicates that the Kremlin is not seeking an exit from Ukraine, but once to extend their ability to endure the conflict as long as possible. Russia is very limited [on] how much they can increase scale, due to economic deficiencies. However, they can maintain a certain level of attritional warfare. And are likely hoping to do that longer than Ukraine can.” 17 hours ago
  • Dmitry Peskov
    Dmitry Peskov “Today, the winner on the battlefield is the one who is more open to innovation, more open to implementation as quickly as possible. It is natural that at the current stage the president [Vladimir Putin] decided that the Ministry of Defence should be headed by a civilian [Andrei Belousov].” 17 hours ago

“The move [Egypt joining South Africa's ICJ genocide case against Israel] is an unbelievable diplomatic blow to Israel. Egypt is the cornerstone of our standing in the Middle East. The connections that Israel has in the Middle East and North Africa today, including with Jordan, the UAE and Morocco, is all a result of what Egypt did 40 years ago. With Egypt joining South Africa now in The Hague, it's a real diplomatic punch. Israel would have to take it very seriously. This is what I have been warning about. It's coming from several directions. Israel has to … listen to the world - not only to the Israeli public opinion asking now for revenge. We have to look overall in the wider picture, in the long-term security of Israel, not only in the next few weeks in Gaza.”

“I think we can safely say we'll see Emirati troops abroad in other hotspots, and while MBZ [Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan] certainly has learned lessons from Yemen, Syria, and Libya, he's not concluded that force by itself is discredited. But he's also learned a lot about the risk of being part of any one side or power bloc - for the UAE long term, it's best to have as many good friends - even if that means having no great friends - as possible, as the world evolves into a multipolar environment where the UAE will be increasingly responsible for its own security.”

“Al-Assad coming to the UAE, shortly after the Gulf Arab country voted to abstain from a UN Security Council resolution condemning the Russian invasion of Ukraine last month, tells us that the Emiratis are very serious about asserting their autonomy from the United States. The leadership in Abu Dhabi is very confident that it can take steps that upset Washington, such as welcoming Bashar al-Assad to Dubai and Abu Dhabi, without having to pay a big price in terms of its relationship with the US.”

“Abu Dhabi seeks to conduct a flexible foreign policy in which its relationships are diversified beyond the UAE's Western partnerships. Looking ahead, it expects China, Russia and India to play more influential roles as rising global powers filling a void left by the Americans. Because the UAE sees Russia as a key partner, it has been carefully navigating the Ukraine conflict so as to avoid problems with Moscow that might harm their relationship just to please Washington.”

“The UN Security Council vote with important abstention of China, India and UAE and only Russia vetoing, shows international community's rejection that might makes right and demonstrates Russia's disregard for its responsibilities and obligations as permanent member. I call on the entire international community to further join forces and help end Russia's invasion of Ukraine by adopting the related resolution at UNGA.”

“The Pentagon deployment to the UAE is primarily aimed at securing US assets in the country and not necessarily meant to meaningfully help with protecting the Emirates from Houthi drone or ballistic missile fire. The gesture of support does not mean a renewed emphasis on the region by Washington. The United States has no interest in getting sucked back into a conflict in the Middle East, especially not in Yemen.”

“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.”

“The headquarters of international companies in the UAE will be targets of attacks in the coming period. We hit specific and important targets in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi with a number of ballistic missiles, as well as sensitive targets in the Emirate of Dubai with a number of Samad-3 drones. The Yemeni armed forces confirm that the UAE enemy state will remain unsafe as long as the tools of the Israeli enemy remain in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, launching aggression against our dear country.”

“Russia's overall policy in the Middle East is to be friends with all, allies of none, enemies of none, so selling arms to Iran might disrupt its efforts to balance closer ties with Israel and the UAE, in particular, as tensions are heightened between these countries and Tehran right now and Saudi Arabia.”

“Upgrading economic cooperation will be a key priority of the trip. Russia will also use the trip to facilitate a return to the Iran nuclear deal. Cooperation on regional security issues will also feature, as Moscow highlights its Gulf security plan and planned trilateral drills with China and Iran. On Syria, Afghanistan and Yemen, Russia and Iran are likely to hold consultations, and we should watch in particular for their responses to the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan and the Houthi strike on the UAE.”

“This attack brings home to the UAE that they were playing the game of a major power in the region. It made the Gulf country realise that they are, after all a small state with a lot of vulnerabilities. This [the incident] is the greatest damage to the reputation of the UAE because they have always portrayed themselves as a safe and secure country to do business. All their [Emirati] foreign policy adventures have brought home that they are quite vulnerable to unconventional and asymmetric threats from different groups they're fighting across the region. Despite claiming to have the most sophisticated air defences in the region, a drone from Yemen has landed at a strategic site in Abu Dhabi. This insecurity has been brought upon them by their own adventures … as unfinished wars now come back to haunt them.”

“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.”

“Expo 2020 is yet another opportunity for the UAE to falsely present itself on the world stage as open, tolerant, and rights-respecting while shutting down the space for politics, public discourse, and activism.”

“This is not a regime with whom we should consider re-establishing diplomatic relations. The recent rapprochement by the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Qatar is something that we should approach with a great deal of concern. There can be no peace, stability or reconciliation without a process aimed at justice and accountability. We have failed the Syrian people over the past decade. Let us not paper over the cracks of instability and injustice with a final act of abandonment.”

“There are strong fears over nuclear power, but most of them are superstitions. There is only one nuclear accident that led to death - the Chernobyl accident - and divided by the amount of electricity produced, 0.5 people could be killed out of 1 trillion kilowatt-hour, equivalent to the amount generated for 100 years from a nuclear plant, so it is much safer than other energy sources. The study [about the economic viability of Unit 1 of the Wolsong Nuclear Plant] lowered the rate of operation of the unit and presumed the cost of electricity lower than the production cost to reduce the economic feasibility of the nuclear plant. Yoon [Yoon Seok-youl] clearly understood that Moon's [Moon Jae-in] nuclear phase-out policy defied existing laws and killed off Korea's top-notch technology in nuclear power generation. Korea has stable supply chains in all stages of making nuclear plants, from design, construction to operation and has won contracts in overseas markets, including the UAE. Korea's nuclear power technology is recognized internationally, but the phase-out plan dampened its export prospects. Korea does not have underground energy resources such as oil and coal. Renewable energy is not very efficient in Korea. Wind power is weak and solar power generation is available only during the day and it costs even more to store the amount for night. They cannot compete with nuclear energy in efficiency.”
