Igor Grosu “The plebiscite is a chance for Moldovans to show loudly and clearly that we are Europeans. ... We are not entering Europe, we are returning to it.” 15 hours ago
Maia Sandu “Joining the EU is the best thing we can give this and future generations.” 15 hours ago
Igor Dodon “We are categorically opposed to this referendum. We are not saying 'no' to talks with the EU and we are not opposed to the EU. We oppose Sandu using it as an instrument for her own interests and those of her party. We are therefore asking voters during the campaign not to take part in the referendum.” 15 hours ago
Ben Hodges “Since the fall of Avdiivka in Ukraine's east on February 17 [2024], its forces have oozed forward, swallowing several villages, as Ukrainian forces have performed tactical retreats. Here we are in April [2024], and [the Russians] are oozing out. Why is that? I think it's because that's the best the Russians can do. They do not have the capability to knock Ukraine out of the war. Russia lacked the ability to equip large armoured formations that could move rapidly, with supporting artillery, engineers and logistics. I don't think it exists. That's why I feel fairly confident that the mission for [Ukrainian] general Oleksandr Syrskyi for the next several months is to stabilise this as much as he can to buy time for Ukraine to grow the size of the army, to rebuild the defence industry of Ukraine, as well as give us time to find more ammunition for them. I think of 2024 as a year of industrial competition. So the army has got to buy time.” 17 hours ago

“I think what is slowly developing is global isolation and condemnation for Israel, it's developing into a situation where it could become a pariah state. Go back to apartheid in South Africa - that country was eventually suspended from the United Nations, for 20 years it wasn't even let to take part in UN activities. And I think it's that sort of isolation and global disdain that Israel might be facing, and it's exactly that that this weekend the US Secretary of State Antony Blinken warned Prime Minister Netanyahu of when he talked about the possible Rafah offensive.”

“[The UN envoy to Sudan] believes pressure from others is important. The African Union, regional grouping IGAD, Arab League, all of these bodies are talking with various players and in particular with the two generals, trying to get a ceasefire in place. There's talk of mediation missions … making their way as delegations to try to speak to the generals to try to get that ceasefire. The problem with that - airspace is closed, borders are closed and it's simply too dangerous for them to travel at this stage. Diplomatic efforts are ongoing, but they're not bearing much fruit this time and clearly that's deeply concerning for the people of Sudan.”

“There are many who welcomed the announcement but there are others who raised questions whether this would be a problem for diplomacy going forward. Now you have the head of state of Russia, a permanent member of the UN Security Council, who is now a wanted man by the ICC. This is going to be a headache for some of those who are going to have to deal with President Putin. How are other countries going to deal with him? Will President Putin be able to travel? Will the UN meet a man who is now wanted with an arrest warrant for him to be sent to The Hague?”

“One of the tests of this is how the shipping market reacts and there will be a test of implementation in the coming weeks to see if this goes ahead. It's not going to happen straight away, you're not going to see a ship that is sailing in the next couple of days. I think we're talking a couple of weeks at the earliest for the first ship of grain and remember we are talking about a 22-million-tonne grain backlog that has formed in Ukraine and has caused much of the global food crisis.”

“The first meeting here is NATO looking at the military part of this. Looking at support for Ukraine, but also looking at beefing up NATO's forces for those countries close to Russia. Certainly, there's been a 10-fold increase in land forces from the situation that was there before and 100,000 US troops have been sent to Europe. So that's a very, very big boost. At the European Union summit, I think more of the focus will be on sanctions, as will the meeting with the G7 leaders. The Japanese prime minister, not a member of NATO, and the other members of G7 will be flying in for that meeting.”

“The UN chief has pursued a very quiet, patient diplomacy … not saying too much, at least initially in public, not condemning it too much, because he thought he could nudge [Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed] in the right direction. [But] that strategy has clearly not worked.”

“The Taliban have taken control of the airport there in Zaranj [Nimruz province], they've taken control of the key government buildings. The Taliban have issued pictures of what's going on in Zaranj, [which] show Taliban fighters in Humvees - vehicles paid for by Americans and NATO countries - taken from the Afghan forces; they're now using them to patrol the streets of Zaranj.”

“We have not heard a detailed plan … I've spoken to many members of the international community and diplomats here [Kabul], who are concerned. They believe the president [Ashraf Ghani] really does need to set out a plan - not only a plan in order to execute it, to solve the military problems on the ground, but also because they say the Afghan people need to hear that he has a plan because morale is slumping.”

“The two ambassadors going back to their posts means more dialogue going forward. Diplomats will tell you you have to be realistic here. Putin has been in power for over 2 decades so you are not going to change how he operates, or how he runs Russia. What you can try and do is to manage that relationship. What the Russians always want is to maintain a seat at the talk table. they are permanent UN Security Council members and they are proud of that. Putin seems very comfortable in that position and it seems he likes the recognition that sitting down with Biden gives him.”

“[It is] exceedingly rare for an ambassador [Kyaw Moe Tun] to the United Nations to speak out against events in their own country. This may well spur some members of the General Assembly to take a slightly tougher position. The General Assembly doesn't have real teeth but it certainly amplifies a message and may well also give a little bit of a prod to the other key organ of the United Nations, the one that does have the teeth – the United Nations Security Council. The place to watch is China, which of course is a permanent member of the UNSC. Perhaps what we've seen today in the General Assembly might force China to take a little bit of a stronger stand on this.”

“America is back' was the main theme of the speech, a theme of global cooperation, and also of the US standing by Europe's side. He was clear when he spoke about China and Russia that this new Biden administration was going to stand up to them – but also on key issues like COVID-19 and the climate crisis, work together with them, too.”

“Rich countries are vaccinating people but many other parts of the world are not. You're never going to get rid of COVID-19 if you have it spreading in some parts of the world and potentially mutating, and potentially in the future making vaccines not work. Less than 1 percent of COVID-19 vaccines so far globally have been administered in the 32 countries currently facing the most severe humanitarian crises.”
