“I am following the situation in Georgia with great concern and condemn the violence on the streets of Tbilisi. The European Union has also clearly expressed its concerns regarding the law on foreign influence. The Georgian people want a European future for their country.”

“If we compare it with the beginning (of the Russian invasion), when we fired up to 100 shells a day, then now, when we fire 30 shells it's a luxury. Sometimes the number of shells fired daily is in single digits.”

“The United Nations Development Programme's initial estimates for the reconstruction of … the Gaza Strip surpasses $30bn and could reach up to $40bn. The scale of the destruction is huge and unprecedented … this is a mission that the global community has not dealt with since World War II.”

“Treasury has consistently warned that companies will face significant consequences for providing material support for Russia's war, and the U.S. is imposing them today on almost 300 targets.”

“Over 200 days of war have already killed or maimed tens of thousands of children in Gaza. For hundreds of thousands of children in the border city of Rafah, there is added fear of an escalated military operation that would bring catastrophe on top of catastrophe for children. Nearly all of the some 600,000 children now crammed into Rafah are either injured, sick, malnourished, traumatised or living with disabilities.”

“The comments [of Joe Biden] in no way contribute to defusing the tension that has now arisen in Europe. Moreover, [they] can contribute to the destabilisation of the situation.”
“The situation regarding European security and our national interests has reached a critical line. The alliance [NATO] has been conceived as such [as an instrument of confrontation], and it's how it has been organised and is developing now. It's quite obvious, so the expansion of this mechanism poses a threat to us.”
“So far, let's say we see no significant reason for optimism. There are no clear deadlines here, no one is setting them. There is just the Russian position that we will not be satisfied with the endless dragging out of this process.”
“Russia is moving its own troops around on its own territory against the backdrop of highly unfriendly actions by our opponents in NATO, the United States and various European countries who are carrying out highly unambiguous manoeuvres near our borders. This forces us to take certain measures to guarantee our own security.”
“The situation in international affairs, especially on the European continent, is very, very tense right now and requires discussion between allies. We see very, very aggressive rhetoric on the NATO and US side, and this requires discussion between us and the Chinese.”
“The presidents agreed to appoint their representatives, who will very promptly begin a discussion of this complex, confrontational situation, a discussion of strategic security issues on the continent.”
“Russia has never planned to attack anyone. But we have our own concerns, our own red lines - the president spoke clearly about that. Putin has repeatedly said that we look for good, predictable relations with the US.”
“Our Indian friends clearly explained that they are a sovereign country and that they will decide whose weapons to buy and who will be India's partner.”
“Kyiv is itself building up its forces, Kyiv is being helped to build up its forces, Kyiv is being supplied with a significant amount of weapons, including modern high-tech weapons. The number of provocations is growing and growing significantly. What's more, these provocations are being carried out with weapons being supplied by NATO countries. And we are observing this with great alarm.”
“This hysteria is being artificially whipped up. We are being accused of some kind of unusual military activity on our territory by those who have brought in their armed forces from across the ocean. That is, the United States of America. It's not really logical or polite.”
“There is an obvious inconsistency in statements by NATO representatives about their desire to normalise relations with our country and in their actual actions. These actions allow us not to develop illusions about the normalisation of relations. In fact, these prospects are almost completely undermined.”
“We didn't see anything on hidden wealth within Putin's inner circle. If there are serious publications, that are based on something concrete and refer to something specific, then we will read them with interest.”
“We think that the Taliban's dominance, the de facto rise to power of the Taliban in Afghanistan, and their taking most of the country under their control is de facto an accomplished process. We believe that we will definitely have to very closely monitor the steps that the Taliban takes in the future in terms of ensuring law and order and the safety of people - first and foremost, the country's citizens - and also the security of Russian diplomats and diplomatic workers, which is crucial for us.”
“The incident [British warship's HMS Defender entering into what Moscow considers Russian territorial waters near Crimea] was a well-planned provocation and that Putin's reaction had made it clear that any repetition would provoke a reponse. It is obvious that the reaction will of course be tough. I think that our intelligence agencies of course know who took that decision. But, of course, I think the essence of such operations is planned by all the same senior comrades - those over the ocean.”
