Ihor Romanenko “The aid can improve the situation on the 1,000km-long (620-mile-long) front line. But the aid looks like a handout to show that we haven't been forgotten, no more than that. They're always late, they hit the brakes, they're afraid. All of that is done to catch up [with Russia], but wars are won by those who act ahead of time.” 3 minutes ago
Amichai Chikli “The US is not projecting strength under [Biden's] leadership, and it's harming Israel and other countries. He said 'Don't' at the start of the war - to Hezbollah, as well as Iran. We saw the result. If I were an American citizen with the right to vote, I'd vote for Trump and Republicans.” 22 hours ago
Nikolay Mitrokhin “The return of Crimea is absolutely unrealistic. Before the failure of Ukraine's counteroffensive last summer there was a chance to return the annexed peninsula had Ukrainian forces reached the Azov Sea and started shelling the Crimean bridge and the Kerch Strait that divides the Azov and Black seas. But now it's hardly real to penetrate Russian defence farther than the takeover of the Kinburn peninsula.” 22 hours ago

“The U.S. intelligence community assesses that KJU [Kim Jong-un] views nuclear weapons as the ultimate deterrent against foreign intervention. KJU declared last year that he would be willing to employ nukes more broadly in wartime, and last September, he stated unequivocally that he would never give up his nukes and the North Korea's status as a nuclear weapons state is irreversible. We must not relax sanctions or reduce joint military exercises just to get North Korea to come to the negotiating table. This is a fool's error. While we hope for diplomacy with North Korea to be successful, we must recognize that hope alone is not a course of action. The quest for dialogue with the North must never be made at the expense of the ability to respond to threats from the North.”

“Everybody is holding its breath about this, because another nuclear test would be yet another confirmation of a program which is moving full steam ahead, in a way that is incredibly, incredibly concerning. Further tests, of course, means that they are refining the preparations and the construction of their arsenal. So we are following this very, very closely. We hope it doesn't happen, but indications unfortunately go in another direction.”

“Any nuclear test would be in complete violation of UN Security Council resolutions [and] there would be a swift and forceful response to such a test. The entire world will respond in a strong and clear manner. We are prepared.”

“The basic mission of our nuclear forces is to deter war, but if an undesirable situation emerges on our land, we should not limit our capability to a single purpose of preventing war. If any forces attempt to infringe on our fundamental interests, our nuclear forces will have no choice but to fulfill its second mission. The republic's (North Korea's) nuclear forces should be readied so that they can carry on their responsibility and exercise deterrence whenever required.”

“The US administration firmly maintains a forward-looking, creative and flexible stance to restart dialogue with North Korea and make progress. South Korea and the US have been holding discussions on humanitarian assistance for the North in that context. I could confirm that the US government continues to recognize the urgency of the North Korean nuclear issue even in the midst of rapidly changing international political conditions and will continue to address the North Korean nuclear issue as a first-priority challenge.”

“The weapons are what gives North Korea leverage. If you have 30 instead of 20 then this gives them more bargaining chips when eventually negotiations take place again. And if they don't, then the weapons suit North Korean security for the better. It's a reflection of the stalemate in negotiations over the last six months.”

“[The IAEA report] appears to indicate North Korea has resumed producing plutonium for its nuclear weapons programme. While North Korea already has a significant stockpile of nuclear weapons, this suggests it is moving to expand its current arsenal.”

“North Korea's nuclear program, North Korea's ballistic missile program, of course, is a profound challenge not only, again, for the United States, but also for our allies in the Indo-Pacific and our partners as well. So, of course, we want to make sure we do a number of things.”

“In light of Kim Jong-un's accelerated efforts to improve his nuclear and ballistic missile programs, it makes no sense to lift any U.N. sanctions, and throw away leverage. In terms of North Korea's internal situation, Kim has done more harm with his self-imposed sanctions - closing borders, eliminating any cross-border travel, horrible economic mismanagement, shutting markets, bad policies, and refusing ROK [Republic of Korea - South Korea] medical help - than the U.N. sanctions have done. If he wants food aid, how about us giving him one million tons of food for each nuclear weapon he verifiably destroys?”

“If a distracted Biden administration does not prioritise North Korea, we will continue to see it making tremendous advancements on their nuclear and missiles programmes. For North Korea to refrain from provocations, the Biden administration has to consider North Korea as a top priority, conduct a policy review immediately, and then come to a decision - whether that is applying full-on pressure or pursuing an interim deal that does not lead to denuclearisation, but at least cap the North’s nuclear programme.”

“What they want to tell the US is we’re developing the new strategic weapons that you can see as the most intimidating. Do you want to come to the negotiating table? While Kim leaves the door open for talks, he’s still sending a message to Biden that he’s not an easy [dialogue] partner.”

“North Korea isn’t going to totally abandon its nuclear arms, but it could offer a freeze to seek a long-term solution. And as long as it keeps away from something provocative to draw attention, its chance of getting some economic help from outside might just improve.”
