  • Emmanuel Macron
    Emmanuel Macron “If the Russians were to break through the front lines, if there were a Ukrainian request [of sending ground troops to Ukraine], which is not the case today, we would legitimately have to ask ourselves this question.” 17 hours ago
  • David Cameron
    David Cameron “We will give three billion pounds every year for as long as is necessary. We've just really emptied all we can in terms of giving equipment. The aid package was the largest from the UK so far. Some of that (equipment) is actually arriving in Ukraine today, while I'm here. Ukraine has a right to use the weapons provided by London to strike targets inside Russia, and that it was up to Kyiv whether to do so. Ukraine has that right. Just as Russia is striking inside Ukraine, you can quite understand why Ukraine feels the need to make sure it's defending itself.” 17 hours ago

“What we have worried about is now actually happening. The surge in cases has been expected whether we have the Olympics or not, and we are afraid that there will be an explosive increase in cases regardless of the Olympics.”

“I think the irony of course is the fact that, if it doesn't go well, and they do bring everybody there, the brand that they're going to walk away with is going to be so much worse than it could be in terms of cancelling [the] Games at this point.”

“Vaccinations are proceeding faster than expected, and if infections decrease sharply, the medical system will get relief and restrictions on ordinary people can be relaxed gradually. If the Olympics are held that way, I think understanding will grow.”

“It's not normal to have the Olympics in a situation like this. If we are going to hold the Games under these circumstances … then I think it's the Olympic organisers' responsibility to downsize the scale of the event and strengthen coronavirus control measures as much as possible. It is only when there is a clear reason to host the Games that the public will get on board … it's very important for those involved in the Olympics to clarify their vision and the reason for hosting the Games.”

“The most important principle is very clear. The Olympic village is a safe place and the Olympic and Paralympic Games of Tokyo 2020 will be organised in a safe way. At this moment, already as many as 75 percent of the residents of the Olympic village are already vaccinated or have secured vaccination in time before the Olympic Games.”

“It is best to not hold the Olympics given the considerable risks. The risks are high in Japan. Japan is dangerous, not a safe place at all. Tens of thousands of foreigners are going to be entering the country, including mass media, in a short period of time, the challenges are going to be enormous.”

“We have, at this moment, no reason whatsoever to believe that the Olympic Games in Tokyo will not open on the 23rd of July. This is why there is no plan B and this is why we are fully committed to make these Games safe and successful.”
