“If, in fact, we are witnessing a total ideological shift of America away from its post-World War II role as guarantor of the international order and an alignment with Putin and other authoritarian nationalists against the old allies that constituted the liberal world order there couldn't be anything more dramatic than that.”

“The fact that he [Steve Witkoff] lacks the context and history of how Russians negotiate and deal with the American side is, I think, a problem. Putin says nice things to him, gives him a portrait of the president, talks about going to church and praying for his friend (Trump). Those are pretty old KGB tactics. And Witkoff, I don't think, has the awareness to understand what is going on there.”

“We see absolutely clearly that the administration of President Trump, unlike President Biden, is committed to resolving issues. They are extremely respectful, they understand Russia's position, they ask a lot of questions, they find compromises. This is the creative spirit that has been set.”

“If Russia and I are unable to make a deal on stopping the bloodshed in Ukraine, and if I think it was Russia's fault - which it might not be - but if I think it was Russia's fault, I am going to put secondary tariffs on oil, on all oil coming out of Russia.”

“I'll be speaking to President Putin on Tuesday. A lot of work's been done over the weekend. We want to see if we can bring that war to an end. Maybe we can, maybe we can't, but I think we have a very good chance. We'll be talking about land. We'll be talking about power plants. I think we have a lot of it already discussed very much by both sides, Ukraine and Russia. We're already talking about that, dividing up certain assets.”

“Ukraine is in an extremely difficult position. Now Ukraine is under double pressure as one of our key partners, whom we considered a strategic partner, seems to be changing sides. What Donald Trump has done so far is something nobody in Ukraine expected. The choice is either Ukraine says no, and faces possible consequences, or Ukraine has to accept settlement terms of the U.S.-Russian talks.”

“The president's talked about that there are opportunities to work together. And obviously that's going to entail talking about not just Russian assets that have been seized by America, by the Europeans or the US, but also American companies that have been hurt. So that'll have to be brought a part of a broader conversation about how to reset our relations.”

“Obviously there would be an expectation that if we get to a peace deal, that you would be able to have American companies come back and do business there. And I think that everybody would believe that that would be a positive, good thing to happen.”

“I was particularly distressed to hear Mr. Rubio say in Riyadh that an agreement would require concessions from all sides. My jaw fell to the floor. That he could come out and with a straight face say that he thinks the Russians are interested in negotiations, and that all sides have to make concessions? Because there has not been one sign of the Russians being willing to make any concessions. If Mr. Rubio feels he can responsibly shape Mr. Trump's diplomacy with Mr. Putin the key question is: Where do you draw the line? You'd better know in advance what your red lines are.”

“We seem to be witnessing not a reset but a wholesale realignment of U.S.-Russian relations. In that sense, the war in Ukraine is not a call to resist Russian aggression but a roadblock to closer cooperation between Washington and Moscow.”

“The Chinese have seen this coming since Trump was elected and signaled that he wanted to quickly end the war in Ukraine. While a complete rapprochement might not be in the cards, they're nervous because if Trump lifts sanctions on Russia, then Moscow's dependency on China decreases. In the same way as Nixon with China policy, they see Trump as someone who is uniquely placed to run against the current nature of U.S. policy towards Russia and could even travel to Moscow. This doesn't mean the Chinese think that the Russians will break relations, but their strong alignment today could diminish.”

“It will take time to set up a summit with Trump. But we are in such a situation that it is not enough to meet to have tea, coffee, sit and talk about the future. We need to ensure that our teams prepare issues that are extremely important for both the United States and Russia, including - but not only - on the Ukrainian track, in order to reach solutions acceptable to both sides.”

“We always had a business-like, pragmatic but also trusting relationship with the current U.S. president. I couldn't disagree with him [Donald Trump] that if he had been president, if they hadn't stolen victory from him in 2020, the crisis that emerged in Ukraine in 2022 could have been avoided.”

“We are certainly interested in starting the negotiation process [with the United States] as soon as possible for the sake of the people of our countries and the entire world.

In particular, it's impossible to hold a conversation without taking into consideration the nuclear capacities of France and the United Kingdom. The current realities make it necessary.”
