  • Andrei Soldatov
    Andrei Soldatov “The problem is to actually be able to prevent terrorist attacks, you need to have a really good and efficient system of intelligence sharing and intelligence gathering. Trust is needed inside the home agency and with agencies of other countries, as is good coordination. That's where you have problems.” 14 hours ago
  • Dmitry Peskov
    Dmitry Peskov “All war crimes [committed] by the Kyiv regime are thoroughly documented. We were well aware of these crimes. And, of course, we will make sure that those behind these crimes are duly punished.” 14 hours ago
  • Timothy Snyder
    Timothy Snyder “The terrorists' car was stopped near Bryansk, which is in western Russia, and so vaguely near Ukraine, which means that the four Tajiks in a Renault were intending to cross the Ukrainian border, which means that they had Ukrainian backers, which means that it was a Ukrainian operation, which means that the Americans were behind it. The reasoning here leaves something to be desired. And the series of associations rests on no factual basis.” 15 hours ago
  • Vladimir Putin
    Vladimir Putin “We have no aggressive intentions towards these states. The idea that we will attack some other country - Poland, the Baltic States, and the Czechs are also being scared - is complete nonsense. It's just drivel. If they supply F-16s, and they are talking about this and are apparently training pilots, this will not change the situation on the battlefield. And we will destroy the aircraft just as we destroy today tanks, armoured vehicles and other equipment, including multiple rocket launchers. Of course, if they will be used from airfields in third countries, they become for us legitimate targets, wherever they might be located.” 15 hours ago

China - Russia economic relations

The IPSEs are presented in chronological order based on when the IPSEs have been pronounced.

“The de-dollarization of the economy, which the Russian authorities are so proud of, essentially translates into 'yuanization.' Russia is drifting toward a yuan currency zone, swapping its dollar dependence for reliance on the yuan. This is hardly a reliable substitution: now Russian reserves and payments will be influenced by the policies of the Chinese Communist Party and the People's Bank of China. Should relations between the two countries deteriorate, Russia may face reserve losses and payment disruptions.”

“We have part of our gold and foreign exchange reserves in the Chinese currency, in yuan. And we see what pressure is being exerted by Western countries on China in order to limit mutual trade with China. Of course, there is pressure to limit access to those reserves. But I think that our partnership with China will still allow us to maintain the cooperation that we have achieved, and not only maintain, but also increase it in an environment where Western markets are closing.”

“Although Russia's Pivot to the East has accelerated gas cooperation with China via gas infrastructure ... all these developments are still in their infancy compared to the mature markets in Europe.”

“China can essentially do one thing here, which is to buy more Russian goods, but they don't seem to be willing to do that and Russia doesn't have that many different goods that China is willing to buy. The relationship between Russia and China is very transactional. It's not an ideology-based relationship. They both dislike the United States and dislike the U.S.-led world order, but aside from that, I don't think there's much there.”

“With China's support, the pressure on Russia will definitely be less, especially for financial linkages. This is especially true as Russia is isolated and China is the only country with meaningful economic size that can offer help. The real tricky moment will come if the US expands the scope and enforces secondary sanctions, which will become a tug-of-war between China's support for Russia versus whether the West is willing to pressure or put secondary sanctions on China given its large role in global trade. The pressure campaign could prompt ostracised countries to seek to reduce dollar dependency and establish more cross-border payment systems. This can hurt the effectiveness of sanctions over time, but a complete replacement of the dollar remains very unlikely.”

“China doesn't want to get so involved that it ends up suffering as a result of its support for Russia. It all hinges on whether they're willing to risk their access to Western markets to help Russia, and I don't think they are. It's just not that big a market.”

“There is no grand conspiracy against the West. What this is, is a classic great power relationship, meaning it's driven by common interests, rather than shared values. By supporting each other, China and Russia gain critical dividends including reinforcing the legitimacy and stability of their respective regimes. Defence cooperation allows Moscow to project Russian influence on the world stage while Beijing is able to gain access to Russia's advanced military technology and operational experience. The relationship also allows Moscow to fill the technological gap left by the withdrawal of Western companies in Russia following sanctions imposed in the aftermath of the annexation of Crimea. And Chinese investment in technology has been absolutely critical to the realization of Russia's Arctic LNG projects.”

“The long-awaited highway bridge [Blagoveshchensk-Heihe highway bridge] will serve as a supplement to the existing rail link with Russia via Northeast China's ports of Manzhouli and Suifenhe, facilitating trade cooperation between Northeast China and the Russian Far East.”

“Although the infrastructure and policy support are ready and in place, many Chinese business people believe that passion on bilateral trade and economic cooperation that will benefit the Russian Far East among the two sides is uneven. The Chinese side seems to be more enthusiastic than their Russian counterparts. Should the Russian side be more willing, and enhance project and enterprise matching, it will be very easy to reach the set goal of boosting bilateral trade to above $200 billion by 2024. Based on the current growth rate, bilateral trade for the whole year of 2021 in goods is very likely to reach $150 billion, thereby setting a new record.”
