“We would not want the president to have to refuse visits to Armenia for some reason. Armenia is our ally, a friendly country, our partner … But at the same time, we will have additional questions for the current leadership of Armenia … We still believe it is a wrong decision [Armenia joining the International Criminal Court].”

“The omission of aid for Ukraine is a temporary phenomenon. America will continue its involvement in this conflict, in fact direct involvement. But we have repeatedly said before that according to our forecasts fatigue from this conflict, fatigue from the completely absurd sponsorship of the Kyiv regime, will grow in various countries, including the United States.”

“We are not changing that we are prepared to help Ukraine in a humanitarian way. We are prepared to help with the reconstruction of the state but you know our opinion on arming Ukraine.”

“We are monitoring a large Serbian military deployment along the border with Kosovo. That includes an unprecedented staging of advanced Serbian artillery, tanks, mechanised infantry units. We believe that this is a very destabilising development. We are calling on Serbia to withdraw those forces from the border.”

“We cannot avoid the question - when during the autumn we will have negotiations in Brussels about the future of Ukraine - whether we can actually seriously consider membership for a country, to start accession talks with a country that is at war. We don't know how big the territory of this country is, as the war is still ongoing, we don't know how big its population is as they are fleeing ... to admit a country to the EU without knowing its parameters, this would be unprecedented. So I think we need to answer very long and difficult questions until we get to actually deciding about the start of accession talks.”

“North Korea could have decided to release King relatively quickly after seeing little advantage in keeping him. The North Korean authorities may have opted to use the case as a chance to highlight themselves as a 'normal state,' showing that they are no longer using these detainees for political, diplomatic purposes.”

“You have a lot of wounded coming back to Russia who are disillusioned or resentful and you have a lot of people who are not coming back at all. The truth is definitely on the Russian street … this is like radiation or toxicity, slowly building up in the population, and over time it could become lethal to a government.”

“None of the polling looks good for anybody else and time is running out for them. The issue now is Trump's seeming inevitability. That's why this debate is really important. One of these candidates has to make the case that they are best situated to upset Trump in one of the early states, including Iowa.”

“The Ukrainian armed forces are suffering serious losses along the entire front line. The Ukrainian counteroffensive had so far produced no results. The United States and its allies continue to arm the armed forces of Ukraine, and the Kyiv regime throws untrained soldiers to their slaughter in senseless assaults.”

“Kasselakis's victory highlights a concerning trend of political immaturity within Syriza. This election has witnessed the elevation of a relatively unknown politician who lacks a clear political agenda or well-defined objectives. Kasselakis's position might be weakened, given that he is not a sitting member of parliament, unlike Achtsioglou. It's a risky move, and Kasselakis's emergence introduces a significant degree of uncertainty into the dynamics of the opposition, especially considering his lack of a parliamentary seat. The recent conflicts between Kasselakis and the other candidate, Effie Achtsioglou, have further exacerbated tensions.”

“Some of our partners are increasingly making efforts to expose our security vulnerabilities, putting at risk not only our external, but also internal, security and stability, while violating all norms of etiquette and correctness in diplomatic and interstate relations, including obligations assumed under treaties.”

“Our people do not want to live as part of Azerbaijan. Ninety-nine point nine percent prefer to leave our historic lands. The fate of our poor people will go down in history as a disgrace and a shame for the Armenian people and for the whole civilised world. Those responsible for our fate will one day have to answer before God for their sins.”

“In the face of an unstable and uncertain international environment, China is willing to continue to work with Syria in the interests of friendly cooperation and safeguarding international fairness and justice. China supports Syria's opposition to foreign interference, unilateral bullying … and will support Syria's reconstruction. China is willing to strengthen cooperation with Syria through the Belt and Road Initiative … to make positive contributions to regional and world peace and development.”

“After the surrender of the criminal junta, this source of tension, this den of poison, has already been consigned to history. The region's [Karabakh] ethnic Armenians will enjoy full educational, cultural and religious rights. All ethnic groups and faiths would be united as one fist - for Azerbaijan, for dignity, for the Motherland.”

“Discussions of any open violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions on North Korea would signal that major international agencies will be paralysed. The summit is an indicator that North Korea-related Security Council resolutions are dead, as are all attempts to stop North Korea or penalise it for having a nuclear program. It creates an important precedent that is likely to be used not only by Russia but pretty much every major international player that if you don't like a UNSC resolution you just ignore it. Russia may be unlikely to provide North Korea with advanced technology that it could eventually lose control of. But its excessive signalling at defence cooperation allows it to send a strong message to South Korea not to directly provide military aid to Ukraine.”

“If they simply wanted a secret arms deal, the two leaders did not have to meet in person. Putin and Kim's diplomatic display is meant to claim success in challenging the U.S.-led international order, avoiding over-reliance on China, and increasing pressure on rivals in Ukraine and South Korea.”

author

“Putin and Kim would both gain from a transactional bargain but they would also gain geopolitically by giving off the impression that their nuclear-armed countries are cooperating militarily and sending a warning about potential consequences to America's allies and like-minded partners that support Ukraine. Kim would also be signalling to Washington, Seoul and Tokyo that Russia has his back in Northeast Asia.”

“That Putin and Kim can satisfy one another's strategic interest is of concern beyond the war in Ukraine. North Korea desperately wants commodities such as food, oil, fertiliser and other goods. On the other hand, Russia has a vast military, nuclear and missile industrial complex, which…could provide Pyongyang much-needed technological fruits. If Moscow does move towards becoming a regular customer for embargoed North Korean arms, it will help Putin sustain his illegal war on Ukraine. But the potential technological payoff for Pyongyang could pose longer-term hazards for the world and must also be considered.”

“The relationship between these two nations is based on lots of deception and rhetoric. While North Korea's Western-facing media output may take a strong stance in support of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the media North Koreans consume has remained silent on the war. Many North Koreans may not even know that Russia has invaded its neighbour.”

“There will be discussions related to bilateral relations, cooperation, trade and economic ties, and cultural exchanges. Naturally, there will be an exchange of views on the regional situation and international affairs in general, as this is of interest to both Putin and our guest from Pyongyang.”

author

“The deepening relationship between Kim and Putin signals a further global split over the war. North Korea's support will allow Putin to wage his war for longer, which is bad news for Europe. It is further proof that much of the world doesn't support Ukraine in the way the US and Europe do, and some countries such as North Korea will openly support Russia without fear of any real consequences.”

“The best summary I've heard is that hosting the G20 is like being the host of the diplomatic World Cup - it's a big draw and a lot of publicity and media attention which you would not have otherwise. There's no way this government would have gotten so much attention from international leaders otherwise.”

“If conflict were imminent on the Korean Peninsula, you wouldn't want to be a crew member on that submarine. Even if its nuclear attack capability is largely a bluff, that loud, slow boat could be sunk as soon as it left port. It's another example of North Korea misallocating resources against the welfare of its people. Kim wants to increase military power, but when Pyongyang is more threatening, it is actually less secure.”

“This is pretty new. The core issue is the propulsion system; the louder it is, the easier it is to find. It's not really clear if North Korea's long range missiles have good guidance to land at a specific target so the submarine would probably not be able to go that far away.”

“The Ukrainians are gradually gaining ground...They have been able to breach the defensive lines of the Russian forces, and they are moving forward. No one ever said that this was going to be easy. Hardly any time in history we have seen more mines on the battlefield than we are seeing in Ukraine today. So it was obvious that this was going to be extremely difficult. They are making progress. Not perhaps as much as we hoped for but they are gaining ground gradually. Some hundred meters per day, meaning that when the Ukrainians are gaining ground, the Russians are losing ground.”

“The far-right coalition of Netanyahu's government demand that instigators and ringleaders should be deported. The coalition blames the high court for blocking attempts to deport people in the past. Opposition members of the Knesset say successive governments have failed to grasp this issue and deal with the situation. There's politics involved in this. Netanyahu clearly wants to be seen to be doing something.”

“There had been quite a muted reaction from the regional body, CEMAC, which is the economic body for the Central African countries in part due to a fear in the region of a contagion of coups among countries with similar regimes to the Bongo dynasty. You have President [Teodoro] Obiang [Nguema Mbasogo] in Equatorial Guinea, who has been in power since 1979. And then in Cameroon, President [Paul] Biya, who has been in power since 1982, elected time and again during these presidential elections that were, according to critics, marred by fraud.”

“Beyond this discontent, there is the illness of the Head of State [Ali Bongo suffered a stroke in October 2018 which left him weakened]. Everyone talks about it, but no one takes responsibility. He did not have the right to serve a third term, the Constitution was violated, the method of election itself was not good. So the army decided to turn the page, to take its responsibilities.”

“The Bongo era is over. Ali Bongo was no longer in the hearts of the population in Gabon … he was trying to create the condition for him to clamp down on the opposition and to fabricate another victory for himself in another rigged election. But this time around, the military realised that this was too far-fetched and they had to act, and that is what they did.”

“Dbeibah needs to go and he knows that he's been under pressure in the last couple of weeks. Dbeibah is squarely responsible for the meeting [between Foreign Minister Najla al-Mangoush and her Israeli counterpart Eli Cohen]. The PM had met with the Israeli Mossad even before speaking to Burns, and continued to do so with frequency. The US should have better sense than trying to normalise a relationship between Libya and Israel.”

“It does not very much change in places like Mali and CAR because there were already relationships and contracts. And the Russians said they would honour those contracts. The real question is what happens in the countries Wagner was trying to expand its presence, places like Burkina Faso and Niger. Will that expansion continue under the Russian government?”

“Prigozhin was relocated from the country. Within two months, they redistributed his assets, checked all contact chains, and replaced everything in the system that needed replacement. And now just got rid of [Prigozhin and his top lieutenants]. I don't know whether [Prigozhin] had a chance to sit it all out in Belarus, but that was his only teeny-weeny chance to survive.”

“Russian airlines have solved the problem of operating under Western sanctions. At first there was a shock, no one knew what to do. After two to three months, new supply channels were found and, after six or nine months, quite a lot of alternatives appeared, which allowed for a reduction in prices and delivery times.”

“The South Korean electorate is deeply divided about rapprochement [with Japan], about deeper integration and collaboration with Japan. I'm not really convinced that the South Korean legislature, the National Assembly, supports this kind of engagement. And I'm not sure if the South Korean public does either. That underscores the need to establish long-lasting contingency plans for the myriad security and other threats in the region. And that's going to be difficult I think.”

“There are ongoing clashes. We can hear sporadic gunfire every 10-15 minutes. The Libyan Red Crescent said it has been able to evacuate dozens of families from the site of the clashes. People are suffering due to the lack of accountability towards powerful armed groups here in Tripoli. Both of these groups … are under the umbrella of the security apparatus. They are funded by the Libyan government.”

“We've never shied away from calling it like we see it when it comes to [China's] behaviour, intimidation and coercion of not only their neighbours but countries around the world. This is a difficult, complex bilateral relationship, the most consequential one in the world. The president understands that. But that doesn't mean there isn't still a need to continue to improve our lines of communication.”

“No option is taken off the table, including the use of force as a last resort.

“I think this has the potential to be disastrous. The only positive thing we can say about this coup so far is that there has been no violence. And I think we should preserve the peace in Niger for the sake of the people, and an intervention force led by Nigeria creates a very likelihood that perhaps uncontrollable violence will break out and that does not strike me as a positive outcome for anyone.”

“Prigozhin's rebellion - that was the strongest blow to the legitimacy of the leadership. And where does legitimacy come from? From the people. Therefore, the desire to throw oneself into the people and feel you are supported, it's the kind of need that arises against the backdrop of a rebellion.”

“In this critical moment, the United States stands with the people of Niger to honour our decades-long partnership rooted in shared democratic values and support for civilian-led governance.

“The attack was very powerful, truly massive. It was a hellish night. (They) are trying to scare the whole world, especially those who want to work for the grain corridor ...

“I believe that the indolent response of the elite, when Putin needed their support the most, speaks volumes. Out of the 83 Russian regions, not more than 10 governors publicly spoke in support of Putin. The governor of Moscow, Sergey Sobyanin, and the prime minister of Russia, Mikhail Mishustin, were completely silent during the mutiny. We have seen oligarchs like Vladimir Potanin and Arkady Rotenberg, who is very close to Putin, immediately fly away from the country while the mutiny was taking place. We must understand that the rational, technocratic parts of Putin's elites aren't disillusioned by the lack of democracy and human rights violations in Russia or war crimes in Ukraine - they are afraid that they won't have a secure future alongside Putin anymore. Prigozhin's action could only have cemented this feeling.”

“The US and China have significant disagreements. But President [Joe] Biden and I do not see the relationship between the US and China through the frame of great power conflict.

But I expect that this trip will help build a resilient and productive channel of communication.”

“Washington and its allies have sought to suppress China's tech sector with no regard for the potential damage the technological iron curtain may cause to global supply and industrial chains. But now the question is how long Washington can ignore the warning over the consequences when China starts taking legitimate and reasonable measures to safeguard its national security and interests. Compared with the US pressuring allies to cooperate on chip bans against China, China's move this time may be more of a warning, showing that China will not be passively squeezed out of the global semiconductor supply chain.”

“We should not hesitate to take bolder decisions because otherwise the Putin regime will decide that the Western allies are too weak, (that they should be) pushed to the corner and they will surrender. Our stronger wording on Ukraine's (membership) perspective would for sure increase the fighting spirit of Ukrainian soldiers on the battlefield. And this is very important.”

“Prigozhin's mutiny may have briefly made Putin look weak, but the fact that a very tangible threat of civil war has been averted trumps it all. Instead of causing disillusionment with the regime, it may in fact rally the nation behind the president.”
