  • Najib Mikati
    Najib Mikati “Beirut condemns Netanyahu's position and the Israeli aggression against UNIFIL peacekeepers. The warning that Netanyahu addressed to … Guterres demanding the removal of the UNIFIL represents a new chapter in the enemy's approach of not complying with international [norms].” 1 hour ago
  • Yoav Gallant
    Yoav Gallant “These [Lebanese villages] are military targets containing underground tunnels and weapon storages. Our troops found hundreds of RPGs, munitions and anti-tank missiles here. The IDF is currently destroying these weapons above and under the ground. I have instructed the IDF at all levels to ensure the destruction of [attack infrastructure] and to ensure that terrorists cannot return to these places. This is essential in order to ensure the safety of Israel's northern communities.” 1 hour ago
  • Brian Hart
    Brian Hart “Under Xi Jinping, China has doubled down on efforts to assert its territorial claims in disputed areas along its periphery. Weaker states like Nepal face immense pressures because of the overwhelming power differential with China. If China does not face costs for encroaching on its weakest neighbors, Beijing will be further emboldened to threaten countries in the region.” 16 hours ago
  • Antony Blinken
    Antony Blinken “China should not use it [the speech of Taiwanese President William Lai] in any fashion as a pretext for provocative actions. On the contrary, we want to reinforce - and many other countries want to reinforce - the imperative of preserving the status quo, and neither party taking any actions that might undermine it. Fifty percent of commercial container traffic goes through the Taiwan Strait every day; more than 70 percent of the high-end semiconductors that the world needs are produced on Taiwan, so there's a strong interest around the world on maintaining peace and stability, preserving the status quo, avoiding any kind of conflict that could disrupt things that are so essential to the global economy.” 18 hours ago
  • Venancio Mondlane
    Venancio Mondlane “The regime will do everything to ensure that it does not lose the elections. The electoral bodies will probably release (initial) results… in which the Frelimo candidate will be in the lead. But this is clearly falsified, adulterated data.” 18 hours ago
  • Walid Aoun
    Walid Aoun “It is my personal opinion that the United States does not allow the (Lebanese) military to have advanced air defense equipment, and this matter is related to Israel.” 22 hours ago

“It is a great honour and joy for me to be here today, celebrating Ukraine's independence with the free and unbreakable people of Ukraine. Like the rest of the civilised world, I admire you and am deeply grateful, for by defending your land and statehood, you are defending us all: my homeland, Lithuania, Europe, and the entire democratic world. The day of Ukraine's victory would come. We will celebrate it together in Ukrainian Crimea and free, proud Mariupol; that Ukrainians sheltered in Lithuania will come home and rebuild the cities of Donetsk and Luhansk [which will become part of] the EU and NATO; that Ukrainian children will come back to their homes in Sumy, Kharkiv, and Kherson oblasts, and that Ukrainian defenders will reunite with their loved ones and be back from the battlefield and captivity.”

“I hear talk of ordinary Russians' innocence, but then I see ordinary Russians murdering ordinary Ukrainians. I see ordinary Russian mothers saying goodbye to their ordinary Russian sons and wishing them good luck with their ordinary Russian war crimes. I see ordinary Russians celebrating murder. Ordinary Russia is sick. Healing will be a long and gruelling process which can only start when Russia, not just Putin, is defeated. Without a defeat in Ukraine, Russia will just keep spreading. So about those 'unfair' sanctions against 'ordinary Russians'... Well, anything which slows down Russia's total war machine will have ordinary Lithuanians' support.”

“This is a completely new thing - a drone wall stretching from Norway to Poland - and the goal is to use drones and other technologies to protect our borders [...] against provocations from unfriendly countries and to prevent smuggling. We agreed to hold regional drills to ensure the evacuation of the population, to see how our institutions are prepared to work, to interact with each other, what our capacity is to accommodate people, what the capacity of other countries is, whether they are ready to receive a certain number of our people. We still have a lot of questions; we need to look at all those algorithms. Drills would be very valuable as we would look at things, evaluate them and we would strengthen our preparedness.”

“We choked the weapons supply, we failed to provide enough air defence, and now we ask Ukrainians to sit on their hands while cruise missiles land on their families. Such mistakes are setting the course of the entire century. And there is no justification for any of this.”

“We should not hesitate to take bolder decisions because otherwise the Putin regime will decide that the Western allies are too weak, (that they should be) pushed to the corner and they will surrender. Our stronger wording on Ukraine's (membership) perspective would for sure increase the fighting spirit of Ukrainian soldiers on the battlefield. And this is very important.”

“No blockade of Kaliningrad is taking place. It's just that sanctions have been applied to some goods included in the so-called sanction package since last weekend, particularly steel and ferrous metals, and railway clients or contractual parties have been informed of these sanctions and made aware that they cannot be transshipped and transported. All other goods that are not under sanctions, as well as passenger transit for which there is a special agreement between the European Union, Russia, and Lithuania, are being transported. Lithuania's good will is evident from the fact that it did not sever the agreement on passenger transportation with Russia when the latter was unable to pay for it due to international sanctions imposed on its banks. There were situations in that period when, say, due to certain restrictions applied to banks, Russia was unable to pay for the transportation of passengers, which would have formally been a reason for severing the contract. And yet transportation continued, we continued to follow the contract, and financial institutions were found through which payments were made and debts settled.”

“Not only it is an extremely important milestone for Lithuania in its journey towards energy independence, but it is also an expression of our solidarity with Ukraine. We must stop financing Russian war machine.”

“From this month on - no more Russian gas in Lithuania. Years ago my country made decisions that today allow us with no pain to break energy ties with the agressor. If we can do it, the rest of Europe can do it too!”

“It is important that like-minded countries which share respect to international rules must be in solidarity in face of economic pressure. We must continue to share information and coordinate our actions inside the EU and with U.S. and with democratic states in Indian-Pacific ocean region.”

“Lithuania's president will ask European leaders for help in a dispute with China over diplomatic relations with Taiwan. We think this will lead to a discussion how the EU and particularly European Commission could help Lithuania in this matter. We want that the conflict to be clear to our European partners, and that the economic actions would be as wide as possible.”

“Lithuania is another cannon fodder which is not worth much in the eyes of the US. Washington is taking advantage of it. Unfortunately, it feels honored to be utilized by the US. Lithuania is resolutely putting itself in a hostile position against Russia and China. It is sad those Lithuanian politicians failed to see their shortsightedness in doing so.”

“Our government's programme says Lithuania wants a more intense economic, cultural and scientific relationship with Taiwan. I want to emphasise that this step does not mean any conflict or disagreement with the 'One China' policy.”

“For us, it is very important that any talks (with Belarus) are coordinated with Lithuania, Poland and Latvia, which are at the forefront of the hybrid attack, and no decisions are taken which do not solve the situation fundamentally.”

“I want to have a strong delegation, especially for the first visit, and we are working to have a delegation with people who have different views, even from the opposition, for the people to see in reality how Lithuania and Taiwan can cooperate and create a win-win situation for both sides.”

“In the grain sector, there is a problem with the supply of raw materials. In 2020, [the sector's] sales to China amounted to around 70 million euros, and raw materials for the production of animal feed account for 90 percent of the raw materials purchased by Lithuanian companies from China. This could lead to problems. The Chinese are refusing to buy our products and are taking our goods off the shelves. There are these problems.”

“Most often, companies report that their partners in China are refusing to renew or conclude new contracts. Therefore, the ministry has taken steps to help companies find new export and import markets and to address other problems caused by China's unlawful and undeclared, and so far publicly denied actions against Lithuanian businesses.”

“We would like to also have relations with China based on the principle of mutual respect. Otherwise the dialogue turns into unilateral ultimatums, requirements which are not acceptable in international relations.”
