  • 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.” 22 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.” 22 hours ago

“The relief that many of us are feeling about the change of administration in Washington should not blind us to the fact that, although Donald Trump’s presidency may be history in just a few hours, his movement will not. More than 70 million Americans voted for him in the election. Just a few days ago, several hundred of them stormed the Capitol in Washington, the heart of American democracy. The television images of that event shocked us all. That is what happens when hate speech and fake news spread like wildfire through digital media. They become a danger to democracy. We should take these images from the USA as a sobering warning.”

“The mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the president and other powerful people, and they tried to use fear and violence to stop a specific proceeding of branch of the federal government.”

“This is not about false claims, or even conspiracies, but many of the people at the Capitol are now part of a completely alternate reality. They’re not just sitting at home in their pajamas clicking 'yes I agree,' they're out there with ... guns and pipe bombs.”

“What we saw on Wednesday was only the climax of very worrying developments happening globally in recent years. It must be a wake-up call for all democracy advocates. Everybody needs to understand that if we accept setbacks after setbacks, even if they seem minor, democracy and its values and institutions can eventually and irreversibly perish. In case anyone had any doubts, the events in Washington also show that disinformation constitutes a real threat for democracies. If some people believe that an election was fraudulent, because their leader has been once and again telling them, they will behave accordingly.”

“We always thought that US institutions are very resilient and even with a very bad president, the result would not be that bad due to the power balance. But the Capitol storming showed us US institutions heavily rely on informal institutions, which need all parties to abide by on peaceful power transition, and non-violent protests.”

“The extraordinary events in Washington DC will mark a fundamental change in how the world sees the US… It is a symptom of the country's worst political crisis since the Civil War. One fears it is more a beginning than an end. America will become unpredictable and unstable… The future will be constantly uncertain. America desperately needs major reforms… but these will be extraordinarily difficult to achieve. The implosion of America seems like a recipe not just for further American decline but a far more rapid decline in the future.”

“When I served this nation overseas, we were constantly issuing pronouncements about the peaceful transition of power and the need to protect the democratic will of the people. Donald Trump and his radical movement have done deep damage to America’s standing as a democratic beacon.”

“The losing side has more than enough grounds to accuse the winner of falsifications - it is clear that American democracy is limping on both feet. America no longer charts the course and so has lost all right to set it. And, even more so, to impose it on others.”

“What we saw in the US last night and today really showed that first how brittle and weak western democracy is, and how weak its foundations are. Donald Trump tainted his country’s reputation and credibility. He disrupted US relations with the entire world.”
