  • 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.” 15 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.” 15 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.” 16 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.” 16 hours ago

“It's not all about Ukraine. It's about how international relations will continue to be shaped through the establishment of a sound consensus on the basis of balance of interests or through aggressive and volatile advancement of Washington's hegemony.”

“It's quite possible to imagine a hypersonic missile being fired from the North Sea from a Russian ship at The Hague courthouse. Everyone walks under God and rockets… Look carefully to the sky...”

“There are countries that have long-standing, decades-long relationships with Russia, with the Soviet Union before, that are challenging to break off in one fell swoop. It's not flipping a light switch, it's moving an aircraft carrier. India for decades had Russia at the core of providing military equipment to it and its defenses, but what we've seen over the last few years is a trajectory away from relying on Russia and moving into partnership with us and other countries.”

“Russia is now a global pariah and the world remains inspired by Ukrainian bravery and resilience. In short, Russia has lost. They've lost strategically, operationally and tactically.”

“We will witness the formation of a new bloc to counterweight the US, but not a 'Russia-centric' one, as the Kremlin tries to present in, but in the format of 'Beijing and its comrade's'.”

“They cheer-lead on behalf of each other, offering moral and political support to their partner when their interests align. But China and Russia are strategically autonomous actors, whose influence on each other's behaviour is limited and indirect at best. And rather than being propelled into a new orbit of cooperation, the long-term outlook for the Russia-China relationship is not promising. The Xi and Putin relationship is primarily based on the self-interests of two strategically autonomous powers and a fundamental difference is that China is invested in global order. China wishes to play a more dominant role, but it does not wish to demolish that order. Putin, however, is focused on disruptive power and a complete overthrow of the international system. That is why Putin has resorted so readily to military force - in Georgia, Syria, Ukraine and, more covertly, in Iraq, Libya, Mali and the Central African Republic. Russia, but not China, has invested in the value of waging war. He [Putin] and those around him identify Russia's ability and will to wage war as a comparative advantage that few others, apart from the United States, possess.”

“When you look at Russia, it has the first, second and third highest reserves globally of practically everything. From energy to diamonds, to fresh water, to rare earths and other minerals, it's an extremely rich country. And despite its current estrangement from the West, the Kremlin was far from being geopolitically isolated. Russia has some powerful friends, such as China, India, and Iran, and some increasingly powerful acquaintances, such as Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Brazil, and much of Africa. On balance, therefore, I suspect that Russia will prevail.”

“Russia cherishes its strong ties with Latin America, Asia and Africa, and is ready to offer partners and allies the most modern types of weapons - from small arms to armoured vehicles and artillery, combat aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles. Almost all of them have been used more than once in real combat operations. We are talking about high-precision weapons and robotics, about combat systems based on new physical principles. Many of them are years, or maybe decades ahead of their foreign counterparts, and in terms of tactical and technical characteristics they are significantly superior to them. I want to emphasise that Russia stands for the broadest comprehensive development [and] military-technical cooperation. Today in conditions of confidence in the emerging multipolar world, this is especially important. We highly appreciate the fact that our country has many like-minded allies and partners on different continents. These are the states that do not succumb to the so-called hegemon. Their leaders show a real masculine character and do not bend.”

“The countries around Serbia have closed the channel of communication by refusing to authorise the overflight of the plane of Sergey Lavrov who was headed to Serbia. The Russian delegation should have arrived in Belgrade for talks. But the EU and NATO member countries closed their airspace.”

“Of course, we are now seeing attempts to shift the responsibility for what is happening on the world food market, the emerging problems in this market, onto Russia. I must say that this is an attempt, as our people say, to shift these problems from a sick to a healthy head.”

“Russia is not going to collapse … but in terms of the impact on the Russian state as a powerful state able to sustain foreign military and political adventures, that's a very different matter. In terms of Russia's place in the world, it will be hard for the Russians - and certainly while Putin is in power - to not be considered essentially a pariah state. His legacy will be as someone who from arrogance and hubris […] has basically wasted years of rebuilding Russia's military, political, economic and soft power capabilities in the world.”

“Today they are trying to cancel a whole thousand-year culture, our people. I am talking about the gradual discrimination against everything linked to Russia… a tendency unfolding in a number of Western countries.”

“There are some around the world...who say that we're better off making accommodations with tyranny.... I believe they are profoundly wrong. To try to renormalize relations with Putin after this, as we did in 2014, would be to make exactly the same mistake again, and that is why Putin must fail. This is a turning point for the world and it's a moment of choice. It's a choice between freedom and oppression.”

“If there was any illusion that we could one day rely on our Western partners, this illusion is no longer there. What the Americans want is a unipolar world which would not be like a global village but like an American village - or maybe like a saloon where you know the strongest calls the shots. We will now have to rely only on ourselves and on our allies who stay with us. We are not closing the door on the West - they are doing so.”

“Russia is being threatened with arrests of assets of Russian citizens and companies abroad - just like that, without any sanctions, in a carpet fashion, out of spite. This must be responded to in a quite symmetric manner. With arrest of assets of foreigners and foreign companies in Russia based on country principle. And maybe, with nationalization of property of people registered in unfriendly jurisdictions. Like the EU, EU member states and a number of singing-along states of the Anglo-Saxon world that will take part in this. Thankfully, we have vast experience and we have a law on this issue. A harsh one. So the most interesting stuff only begins.”

“Russia wants to see Ukraine not as a neutral country, but more like a friendly country. Ukraine is not the only issue of importance for the Kremlin. This is also about how Russia wants to position itself in the world. So this is a geopolitical conflict focusing on Russia's posture and vision.”

“There's very little enthusiasm within NATO for bringing in Ukraine. There is, however, a consensus on the need to support [Ukraine] politically, economically, and, to the extent they can, in security terms. Russia may seek certain commitments over Ukraine, and we're probably not willing to provide those. But above all, Russia wants to feel as if it has a seat at the table and is taken seriously as a great power, which its nuclear status certainly gives it. There has been a tendency not to take Russia very seriously over the past decades, rightly or wrongly.”

“The more trouble Moscow can stir up in the Balkans, the more it is able to slow down the integration of the region into the European Union (EU) and NATO.”

“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.”
