“This 12th package will include … new export bans, among them … diamonds. There would also be actions to tighten the oil price cap, in order to decrease the revenue that Russia is getting from selling its oil - not to us but to others - [and] fighting against circumvention.”

“Russia and China, like most countries of the world, share the desire for equal, mutually beneficial cooperation in order to achieve universal sustainable and long-term economic progress and social well-being, while respecting the diversity of civilization and the right of each State to its own development model. As for the Northern Sea Route, Russia does not just offer its partners to actively use its transit potential, I will say more: we invite interested states to participate directly in its development, and we are ready to provide reliable ice breaker navigation, communication and supply. Starting next year, navigation for ice-class cargo ships along the entire length of the Northern Sea Route will become year-round.”

“Despite the fact that in the current geopolitical conditions, the possibilities for keeping contact and developing relations are very limited, it cannot but cause satisfaction that our ties with many European countries are maintained and developed. One of those countries is Hungary.”

“They say that [fighting] should be stopped immediately, that Israel should destroy the terrorists. But this was done before … and never after the situation calmed down did they come to the fact that the main reason [for the conflict] needs to be eliminated. The Palestinian problem should not be delayed further.”

“We would not want the president to have to refuse visits to Armenia for some reason. Armenia is our ally, a friendly country, our partner … But at the same time, we will have additional questions for the current leadership of Armenia … We still believe it is a wrong decision [Armenia joining the International Criminal Court].”

“The omission of aid for Ukraine is a temporary phenomenon. America will continue its involvement in this conflict, in fact direct involvement. But we have repeatedly said before that according to our forecasts fatigue from this conflict, fatigue from the completely absurd sponsorship of the Kyiv regime, will grow in various countries, including the United States.”

“You have a lot of wounded coming back to Russia who are disillusioned or resentful and you have a lot of people who are not coming back at all. The truth is definitely on the Russian street … this is like radiation or toxicity, slowly building up in the population, and over time it could become lethal to a government.”

“The Ukrainian armed forces are suffering serious losses along the entire front line. The Ukrainian counteroffensive had so far produced no results. The United States and its allies continue to arm the armed forces of Ukraine, and the Kyiv regime throws untrained soldiers to their slaughter in senseless assaults.”

“Russia's central bank is a hawkish institution that takes its commitment to inflation fighting seriously. With fiscal policy set to remain loose, the economy likely to continue overheating and inflation pressures to build further, there will be more pressure on the central bank to tighten monetary policy.”

“There will be discussions related to bilateral relations, cooperation, trade and economic ties, and cultural exchanges. Naturally, there will be an exchange of views on the regional situation and international affairs in general, as this is of interest to both Putin and our guest from Pyongyang.”

“We will be ready to consider the possibility of reviving the grain deal and I told Mr President [Erdogan] about this again today - we will do this as soon as all the agreements on lifting restrictions on the export of Russian agricultural products are fully implemented.”

“It does not very much change in places like Mali and CAR because there were already relationships and contracts. And the Russians said they would honour those contracts. The real question is what happens in the countries Wagner was trying to expand its presence, places like Burkina Faso and Niger. Will that expansion continue under the Russian government?”

“Prigozhin was relocated from the country. Within two months, they redistributed his assets, checked all contact chains, and replaced everything in the system that needed replacement. And now just got rid of [Prigozhin and his top lieutenants]. I don't know whether [Prigozhin] had a chance to sit it all out in Belarus, but that was his only teeny-weeny chance to survive.”

“Russian airlines have solved the problem of operating under Western sanctions. At first there was a shock, no one knew what to do. After two to three months, new supply channels were found and, after six or nine months, quite a lot of alternatives appeared, which allowed for a reduction in prices and delivery times.”

“Prigozhin's rebellion - that was the strongest blow to the legitimacy of the leadership. And where does legitimacy come from? From the people. Therefore, the desire to throw oneself into the people and feel you are supported, it's the kind of need that arises against the backdrop of a rebellion.”

“Russia's arbitrary justice system imprisoning Alexei Navalny for another 19 years is pure injustice. Putin fears nothing more than standing up against war and corruption and for democracy - even from a prison cell. He will not silence critical voices with this.”

“But as far as Belarus is concerned, it is part of the Union State. Unleashing aggression against Belarus will mean aggression against the Russian Federation. We will respond to this with all the means at our disposal.”

“I didn't sugarcoat it. I pinpointed the main tragedy of today's warfare: the lack of counterbattery fire, the lack of artillery reconnaissance stations, and the mass death and mutilation of all our brothers by enemy artillery.”

“I believe that the indolent response of the elite, when Putin needed their support the most, speaks volumes. Out of the 83 Russian regions, not more than 10 governors publicly spoke in support of Putin. The governor of Moscow, Sergey Sobyanin, and the prime minister of Russia, Mikhail Mishustin, were completely silent during the mutiny. We have seen oligarchs like Vladimir Potanin and Arkady Rotenberg, who is very close to Putin, immediately fly away from the country while the mutiny was taking place. We must understand that the rational, technocratic parts of Putin's elites aren't disillusioned by the lack of democracy and human rights violations in Russia or war crimes in Ukraine - they are afraid that they won't have a secure future alongside Putin anymore. Prigozhin's action could only have cemented this feeling.”

“The mutiny we saw at the weekend demonstrates that there are cracks and divisions within the Russian system. At the same time, it is important to underline that these are internal Russian matters.”

“Prigozhin's mutiny may have briefly made Putin look weak, but the fact that a very tangible threat of civil war has been averted trumps it all. Instead of causing disillusionment with the regime, it may in fact rally the nation behind the president.”

“Of course this doesn't mean that problems have dissipated. It's not fine actually because Putin called on the Wagner fighters to join the defence ministry - and they're not doing it. They are still there with their weapons, they are well organised, they're the best fighting force in the land right now. And what will be their next move is not clear. Right now, they most likely feel threatened. They didn't disappear.”

“The courage and self-sacrifice of the fallen heroes-pilots saved Russia from tragic, devastating consequences. I thank all the soldiers and intelligence-service staff who stood in the way of the mutineers. The organisers of the mutiny who betrayed the country also betrayed those who were on their side.”

“The current unravelling of the seeming Russian political stability reflects the internal pressures and the fault lines of a country that waged an unjust and disastrous war with its neighbour. The war produced the inter-elite pressures, blame-shifting games and the entitlement-carrying actors who have now openly clashed, thereby moving the military action inside Russia.”

“Among the few remaining sources of authority for the Putin regime was his longstanding claim that he restored 'law and order' after the 'chaotic' 1990s. This perception will now lie in tatters and leave him much more vulnerable over the longer term, even if he eventually prevails.”

“We are thinking about getting out of this grain deal now. Unfortunately, we were once again cheated - nothing was done in terms of liberalising the supply of our grain to foreign markets.”

“We can clearly say the offensive has started, as indicated by the Ukrainian army's use of strategic reserves. But the Ukrainian troops haven't achieved their stated tasks in a single area of fighting. We are seeing that the Ukrainian regime's troops are suffering significant losses. It's known that the offensive side suffers losses of 3 to 1 - it's sort of classic - but in this case, the losses significantly exceed that classic level.”

“If ordinary Russians continued getting their children back in coffins while the children of the elite shook their arses in the sun. Russia would face turmoil along the lines of 1917 that brought the Bolsheviks to power. This divide can end as in 1917 with a revolution. First, the soldiers will stand up and after that, their loved ones will rise up. There are already tens of thousands of them - relatives of those killed. And there will probably be hundreds of thousands - we cannot avoid that.”

“Provocative actions on the part of US armed forces units have been noted in Hassakeh province … the Russian side lodged a protest with the coalition. During joint Russian-Turkish patrols, the movement of two patrols conducted by the so-called anti-terrorist coalition were tracked along the non-deconfliction routes near Deiruna-Aga and Saramsak. The Russian side has protested to the coalition.”
