  • Franz-Stefan Gady
    Franz-Stefan Gady “The Russians have understood, just as a lot of analysts have, that the major disadvantage that Ukraine is currently suffering from is manpower. By thinning out the frontline, you are increasing the odds of a breakthrough.” 1 hour ago
  • Oleksandr Syrskyi
    Oleksandr Syrskyi “This week, the situation in Kharkiv Oblast deteriorated substantially. Currently, there are continuing battles along the state's border with Russia. The situation is challenging, but the Defence Forces are doing everything possible to maintain defensive lines and positions, resulting in defeat for the adversary.” 1 hour ago
  • John Kirby
    John Kirby “It is possible that Russia will make further advances in the coming weeks, but we do not anticipate any major breakthroughs, and over time, the influx of U.S. assistance will enable Ukraine to withstand these attacks over the course of 2024.” 1 hour ago
  • Volker Türk
    Volker Türk “I can see no way that the latest evacuation orders, much less a full assault, in an area with an extremely dense presence of civilians, can be reconciled with the binding requirements of international humanitarian law and with the two sets of binding provisional measures ordered by the International Court of Justice.” 1 hour ago
  • Volodymyr Zelenskiy
    Volodymyr Zelenskiy “It is important that partners support our soldiers and Ukrainian stability with timely supplies. Really timely. The package that really helps is the weapons brought to Ukraine, not just the ones announced.” 14 hours ago
  • Oleh Syniehubov
    Oleh Syniehubov “We clearly understand what forces the enemy is using in the north of our territory. Certainly, the escalation can grow, the pressure can increase, it can strengthen its military units, its military presence. As of now the enemy keeps pressing in the north of our region. Our forces have repelled nine attacks.” 14 hours ago
  • Anatoly Antonov
    Anatoly Antonov “The yet another arms shipment to the Zelensky regime is a reaction to the success of the Russian Armed Forces at the frontline. Our soldiers and officers continue to liberate the Russian land by their heroic efforts. America acknowledges this fact.” 22 hours ago

“Oruc Reis vessel, after a month-long maintenance and repair operations, has today resumed its seismic survey activity from where it left off. The activity, which will last until October 22, 2020 is entirely within the Turkish continental shelf. The survey area is at 15 kilometers distance to the nearest point in Turkey and 425 kilometers away from the Greek mainland. The claims of Greece that the island of Kastellorizo can create a maritime area of 40 thousand square kilometers are compatible neither with international law nor with international court decisions. In fact, the Greek side is also well aware that these are maximalist demands. Our expectation from Greece is to denounce its maximalist claims embodied in the Sevilla Map, which are contrary to international law, to end its escalatory exercises and military activities in the Aegean and the Mediterranean and to enter into sincere dialogue with us, especially through the Exploratory Talks.”

“The U.S. also believes deeply that development of the Eastern Mediterranean should promote cooperation and provide a foundation for the durable energy security and economic prosperity of the entire region. We strongly support dialogue between NATO allies Greece and Turkey and encourage them to resume discussion of these issues as soon as possible. I spoke with Secretary-General Stoltenberg just two days ago on the progress being made at NATO, and we hope that these talks can continue in a serious way.”

“Yesterday, unfortunately a Turkish NAVTEX to expand illegal drilling by the Yavuz vessel was extended when at the same time, a series of initiatives are ongoing that seek an end to Ankara's unlawful actions and de-escalation.”

“They’re either going to understand the language of politics and diplomacy, or in the field with painful experiences. They are going to understand that Turkey has the political, economic and military power to tear up the immoral maps and documents imposed.”

“The eastern Mediterranean is becoming an area of tension. Respect for international law should be the rule, not the exception. Our message is simple: the priority is dialogue, cooperation and diplomacy, so that the eastern Mediterranean becomes an area of stability and respect for international law.”

“We see that the targets of those countries who have made so much noise in recent days are not Hagia Sophia or the eastern Mediterranean. [Their targets] are the presence itself of the Turkish nation and Muslims in this region.”

“In the Eastern Mediterranean, Turkey has been showing a worrying assertiveness – with increased number of flights over Greek islands in the Aegean Sea, drilling operations in the Cypriot Exclusive Economic Zone and signature of the maritime Memorandum of Understanding with Libya, which we do not recognise here in the European Union. On these issues, we have been sending clear messages to Turkey. We are determined to protect principles, values, borders, and sovereign rights of the Member States. We will also continue working for a political solution in Syria and Libya.”
