Jimmy Rushton “Shoigu's replacement with a (relatively experienced and apparently competent) economist [Andrei Belousov] pretty clearly signals Putin believes victory in Ukraine will come via outproducing (and outlasting) Ukraine and her Western allies. He's preparing for many more years of war.” 16 hours ago
Konstantin Sonin “Things are not going according to Putin's plan, but he will endlessly rotate the same small group of loyalists. Putin has always feared to bring new people to the positions of authority - even in the best of times, they must have been nobodies with no own perspectives. Toward the end of his rule, even more so.” 16 hours ago
Mark Galeotti “With an economist taking over the Defence Ministry, and the old minister taking up a policy and advisory role, the technocrats are in the ascendant. The goal though is not peace, but a more efficient war. As Putin digs in for the long term, with the 'special military operation' now being the central organising principle of his regime, he knows he needs technocrats to keep his war machine going.” 17 hours ago
Jeff Hawn “This indicates that the Kremlin is not seeking an exit from Ukraine, but once to extend their ability to endure the conflict as long as possible. Russia is very limited [on] how much they can increase scale, due to economic deficiencies. However, they can maintain a certain level of attritional warfare. And are likely hoping to do that longer than Ukraine can.” 17 hours ago
Dmitry Peskov “Today, the winner on the battlefield is the one who is more open to innovation, more open to implementation as quickly as possible. It is natural that at the current stage the president [Vladimir Putin] decided that the Ministry of Defence should be headed by a civilian [Andrei Belousov].” 17 hours ago

“The goal of this exercise, this play, was mostly directed toward domestic public opinion. The army is strong if it has people who know how to handle equipment, especially if we're talking about equipment that was procured either from Russia or China, if it is professional and depoliticized - that is, it is not instrumentalized by politicians and political parties. On the other hand, the priorities of the citizens of Serbia are to have clean water and clean air, better health, [and] higher employment.”

“They [the Covid false theories] find a particularly fertile ground in our environment, where general mistrust and xenophobia are widespread. It's easy to manipulate a nation which has been deceived for three decades and no longer trusts anyone. Doubt is the natural state of things [here]. Unfortunately, distrust in the government has spread to all authorities including physicians, who earlier have traditionally enjoyed general respect.”

“Based on the public polls survey, it is clear that NATO is an unpopular subject, that is why illusion is being created that Serbia does not cooperate with NATO, mostly by tabloids. The ruling majority has the need to continue the cooperation with NATO for several reasons – due to the geostrategic position of Serbia which is surrounded by NATO states, the benefits of the cooperation programmes and the role of KFOR in the protection of Serbs in Kosovo. This current situation is not good, and Serbia should go a step further in the partnership and have clear communication strategy on NATO. I don't think this is possible for the time being as the elections on all levels are approaching and writing about NATO is not beneficial.”

“I see this huge potential in citizens. There are these blooming civil society movements in Serbia and the region that are connected and we are cooperating. On the other hand, there is a very harsh response from the governments to that. We are very keen to work with other actors in the region because it is a kind of domino effect. We saw the recent changes in Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Political elites are communicating and learning from each other, so we also must learn more from each other in the future.”
