“The capture of Avdiivka has not led to the collapse of Ukrainian lines, the possibility for the Russians to move onto open ground or even to make major gains. There's no decisive action or breakthrough.”

“Outside of Avdiivka there are new positions being prepared, but they do not yet constitute a particularly formidable defensive line and are not comparable in scale to Russia's fortifications in the south.”

“I noticed during Putin's speech that he said Russia did not start the war. He thought about the risks, he decided to do it, and he failed. The right thing to do now is to withdraw all troops from Ukraine, and not continue to threaten innocent people with a nuclear holocaust.”

“Putin's regime has not once used the scare of a nuclear war to frighten the West and convince it not to provide military aid to Ukraine. In the past, the scare was usually voiced over by Medvedev and all sorts of propagandists, now it's Putin's turn to announce them. And it wasn't Macron's assumption that irked Putin - it was Ukraine's success in striking airfields, fuel depots, warships and military planes deep in Russia and Russia-occupied areas.”

“Chances for any meaningful negotiations are slim to non-existent. The Russian leadership seems to be hell-bent on fighting until the bitter end. There is no indication Putin and his entourage have changed their initial goals of subjugating Ukraine. If Moscow believes that the tide is shifting in their advantage, what's the point of stopping? The only virtue of a ceasefire and negotiations is to gain the time needed to reconstitute one's forces and start pushing even harder.”

“Russia's full-scale armed attack on Ukraine, which is about to enter its third year with no end in sight, continues to cause serious and widespread human rights violations, destroying lives and livelihoods. The invasion has exacted a horrific human cost, inflicting immense suffering on millions of civilians.”

“By way of example, one report on Russian equipment losses indicates that from September 17 to October 17, FPV [first-person view] drones were involved in about 35 percent of elimination operations. During this period, 388 cases of Russian equipment destruction were documented with 146 units destroyed by FPV drones. The attacks destroyed $140m in equipment, including a $25m Tor air defence system.”

“I don't know who exactly decided [that] about me, but I know exactly the reason … because my election rating, the number of people who are ready to vote for me grows 5 percent a week. [The] official understanding is that all the society is for Putin, for [the] special military operation as we call it, but it's not so. Majority of people in Russia want the conflict in Ukraine to stop.”

“Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin has issued a decree that my husband has to be there (in Ukraine). I'm interested to know when he will issue a decree that my husband has to be home. So what's next? The Ministry of Defense has spent its money, now we need to squeeze everything out of our guys, get the last life out of them? So that they come back to us just as stumps? Will they give me the stump? What will I get back? A man without legs, without arms, a sick man? Don't you know what's happening there? All my family's problems can only be solved by one thing - by my husband being demobilised. Because she [toddler daughter] is a completely different child when her father comes home.”

“Whoever controls the skies will define when and how the war will end. We are fighting a powerful enemy, a very big enemy that doesn't sleep. It takes time. We defeated them on the land in 2022. We defeated them in the sea in 2023 and we are completely focused on defeating them in the air in 2024.”

“China plays a significant role. We must find ways to work with China on this. A peace for the Ukrainian people is urgently necessary ... We must do everything to end this war. The participation of the BRICs alliance is very important because these countries have a relationship to Russia ... All this can create this collective movement to bring in countries that are far from the conflict but can play a role in influencing China and Russia.”
