  • Craig Kennedy
    Craig Kennedy “Moscow's funding challenges only increase from here, especially if coalition countries enforce more fully the powerful energy sanction tools at their disposal. Through continued resolve and a clear understanding of Moscow's vulnerabilities, Ukraine and its allies can realise the full potential of their negotiating leverage, avoid making unnecessary concessions, and reduce the longer-term risks posed by Russian revanchism.” 7 minutes ago
  • Justin Trudeau
    Justin Trudeau “The 51st state, that's not going to happen. But people are talking about that, as opposed to talking about what impact 25% tariffs (has) on steel and aluminum coming into the United States. No American wants to pay 25% more for electricity or oil and gas coming in from Canada. That's something I think people need to pay a little more attention to.” 13 minutes ago
  • Stephen J. Rapp
    Stephen J. Rapp “Any prosecution has to be a good process, otherwise it'll look like score-settling. And that can play a key role in reconciling a society and defusing efforts to settle scores, for instance, against the children of parents who committed these crimes.” 8 hours ago
  • Kaja Kallas
    Kaja Kallas “We will be looking at how to ease sanctions. But this must follow tangible progress in a political transition that reflects Syria in all its diversity.” 13 hours ago
  • Hossein Salami
    Hossein Salami “Iran's military is not as weak as some believed. We know that such judgments are the dreams of the enemy, not realities on the ground. Be careful, don't make any strategic mistakes or miscalculations.” 13 hours ago
  • Keith Kellog
    Keith Kellog “These pressures are not just kinetic, just not military force, but they must be economic and diplomatic as well. There are now opportunities to change Iran for the better. We must exploit the weakness we now see. The hope is there, so must too be the action.” 13 hours ago
  • Annalena Baerbock
    Annalena Baerbock “Sanctions against Assad's henchmen who committed serious crimes during the civil war must remain in place. Germany would provide another €50m for food, emergency shelter and medical care. Syrians now need a quick dividend from the transition of power.” 13 hours ago

“The Trump administration would ask Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for his version of a realistic vision for peace. And if President Zelensky comes to the table and says, well we can only have peace if we have Crimea, he shows to us that he's not serious. Crimea is gone. And if that is your priority of getting Crimea back and having American soldiers fight to get Crimea back, you're on your own. What we're going to say to Ukraine is, you know what you see? What do you see as a realistic vision for peace. It's not a vision for winning, but it's a vision for peace. And let's start having the honest conversation. The reality on the ground is that the European nation states and President Biden did not give Ukraine the ability and the arms to win this war at the very beginning and they failed to lift the restrictions for Ukraine to win.”

“We could be 100 percent clear to the Ukrainians and the Russians that we are 100 percent in favour of them retaking Crimea however they do it. Crimea … is sovereign Ukraine, and there will be no US tapping the brakes if they take down that Kerch Bridge - which I do predict is going to happen this year.”

“I am against sending any lethal arms there. It prolongs the war. What is the goal? Disintegration of Russia, change of the government? There is also talk of tearing Russia apart. This is mad. It is clear that Crimea will never again be part of Ukraine. What is the goal of this war? A war against a nuclear power that is at war in another country? Is there a conventional way to defeat such a country? Who pays the price? Europe. America pays the least,” he said. “A year has passed and we are only now talking about tanks. Not a single American tank will go to Ukraine in a year. Only German tanks will be sent there.”

“It's very significant, of course. It's not the only efforts the Ukrainians have been achieving quite well. The result of this has been two-fold - one, the Crimea population has been put under alert and this has created panic in Crimea, with people trying to flee this area, which is no longer considered safe. The other one is that this panic has reached Russian high command to the point where mobilisation has been ordered in Crimea, which is interesting, both on a military side of things, but also on a political one, because the Russian Federation is wanting everyone to believe that Crimea is a part of Russia. How can you mobilise only a small segment or area of the country and not call this a general mobilisation for the entire country? It is not clear how many people living in Crimea were still sympathetic to Ukraine. But we know for a fact that there has been a lot of passive resistance, and also individual or group attacks against Russian forces, Russian interests, and Russian command posts. We've seen this in Crimea and we've seen this elsewhere in the country.”

“The future of the Crimea is to be a pearl of the Black Sea, a national park with unique nature and a world resort, not a military base for terrorists. It is just the beginning.”

“If any other state, be it Ukraine or NATO countries, believes that Crimea is not Russian, then this is a systemic threat for us. This is a direct and an explicit threat, especially given what had happened to Crimea. Crimea returned to Russia.”

“I do not rule out a referendum on Donbas in general. It might be about Donbas, it might be about Crimea, it might be about ending the war in general. So it may be that someone, this or that country can offer us certain conditions.”

“The potential recognition of the occupied Crimea by Belarus will be a point of no return in our bilateral relations, and we will act respectively. Because for us, Crimea is not a field for compromises.”

“Today the UN is like a retired superhero who has forgotten what he could do. He considers himself a burden, a weak, frail, useless old man whose life was in vain. [Russia fueling the ongoing war in eastern Ukraine and Russia's occupation of the Crimean Peninsula] Isn't it evidence of an international crime? Isn't it proof of impunity and disrespect for international law? Moreover, the Russian Federation itself officially declares it. And it forces our citizens of Ukraine to take part in the elections to the Russian parliament. And if the UN does not react efficiently and strongly to this, is that proof that it is too late to revive the UN?”
