IPSEs IN THE LAST 24H
  • Steve Witkoff
    Steve Witkoff “The meeting was positive, upbeat, constructive. Everybody was there to get to the right outcome.” 21 hours ago
  • Marco Rubio
    Marco Rubio “Ending the war in Ukraine could unlock the door for incredible opportunities that exist to partner with the Russians geopolitically on issues of common interest and, frankly, economically on issues that hopefully will be good for the world and also improve our relations in the long term.” 21 hours ago
  • Sergey Lavrov
    Sergey Lavrov “We explained today that the deployment of any troops, any armed forces from NATO countries but under other flags, either the European Union or national flags, changes nothing in this context. For us, of course, this is unacceptable.” 21 hours ago
  • Marco Rubio
    Marco Rubio “Russia and the United States have agreed to restore their embassies in Moscow and Washington to previous staffing levels to facilitate continued diplomatic engagement. We will need active work of diplomatic missions capable of functioning normally to be able to continue these contacts.” 21 hours ago
  • Jana Puglierin
    Jana Puglierin “February 2022 destroyed our faith in a collective security order with Russia and showed us the dark side of our fundamental dependence on Russia and China in critical areas. February 2025 shows us that the Americans no longer feel responsible for European security - and that their interests are fundamentally different from ours.” 21 hours ago
  • Volodymyr Zelenskiy
    Volodymyr Zelenskiy “Ukraine, Europe in a broad sense - and this includes the European Union, Turkiye, and the UK - should be involved in conversations and the development of the necessary security guarantees with America regarding the fate of our part of the world.” 21 hours ago
  • Mariia Mezentseva
    Mariia Mezentseva “It's not yet very clear how this negotiating table will look. But defence and justice must be at the forefront of any solution to end the war, and the US, Europe and Ukraine must be on board. It's not Russia who can dictate the rules because they are the invaders. It has to be absolutely [reversed].” 21 hours ago

“If you look at the history of President Trump, he negotiates very aggressively and he likes to win, but in the end, he doesn't appear to have a problem if his counterparty also wins. And so I think that we can get a great deal that will make both countries safer, richer, and stronger. But Trump should also be aware that Canada currently sells its oil and gas to the U.S. at enormous discounts. Yes, it is a ripoff - Canada is ripping itself off.”

“When it comes to 2025, should we manage to achieve the end of the hot phase of the war for Ukraine; once we manage to achieve it along with a strong army, strong weaponry package, and strong security guarantees, then this [elections] will happen. After that, in principle, we can think of lifting martial law in Ukraine. Once martial law is over, then the ball is in parliament's court -- the parliament then picks a date for elections...My thinking is that there is no need to spend years waiting [for elections] once martial law is over.”

“The impact on the EU as a whole would be marginal. I would even dare to say that one risk - that the traders were constantly dealing with and that was being constantly manipulated and driving the price up - has finally disappeared. So soon it will become very apparent that Slovakia is well-supplied and no problems are occurring, and that the prices on the EU market are falling.”

“There is of course no crisis. There's no supply problem for Slovakia or nearby countries like Austria and Czechia. There's a relatively high storage capacity compared to demand so even if there were no alternative sources, there would be no supply problem. And there are plenty of alternatives.”

“Therefore, if we really want to stop this war, we can only do it by giving Ukraine a technological and quantitative drone advantage. Some data is classified, of course, but I will give a general figure - in the last month alone, drones have made about 20,000 verified hits on enemy targets.”

“Trump could be crucial. This is the most important thing for us. He, his qualities - they are there. He could be crucial in this war. He is able to stop Putin, or to be more fair, to help us stop Putin. He can do it.”

“There's a lot of hospital needs. We continue to call on all sides to keep hospitals out of harm's way, which means not placing or trying to infiltrate the hospitals. We want to make sure that all steps are taken to protect and preserve the lives of the injured and sick, who are in those hospitals.”

“Moscow was able to sell too much gas and oil at too high a price. Sanctions have been applied with one arm tied behind your back. Piecemeal sanctions and the often listless enforcement of them have also made the economic noose around Russia's neck looser than it could have been.”

“The idea that economic sanctions could bring a quick end to the war was always more a product of hope than a realistic assessment. A better measure of success is to ask whether sanctions hampered Moscow's ability to wage war effectively. And the answer to that is yes. Imagine a world where sanctions were not introduced. A world where Russia's foreign commerce was not severely limited and it had access to all of its frozen foreign reserves. It's very clear that sanctions did cause problems for Putin, did reduce the amount of resources in his pocket and, therefore, saved lives in Ukraine. Without them, he added, Russia might have even won the war by now.”

“This is the first year when we can become 100-per cent energy independent. The independence is not easy. And it costs. Our neighbours pay with human lives and daily tragedies. We - with higher invoices. Several months ago, a terrible lie was distributed, alleging that a military mobilization was prepared in Moldova. The only mobilization to which we are called is to responsibly consume the electric energy. And to preserve our unity and humanity. We cannot change the things globally, especially when they do not depend on us, but can make the difference. Each one, at his/her place. We should turn off a lamp, so that the others do not steal the light - of the future and of the eyes. And in this way, we should show that Moldova is able.”

“Ukraine has cut off more than just Russian gas transit. We have cut off some of Putin's last remaining leverage over Europe and his use of energy as a weapon. Europe and the world will be safer without Russian gas, oil, and other dependencies, as well as without Russia itself.”

“Washington's power over Tehran's nuclear calculus is ultimately limited. No one in the United States knows how Iranian officials are really looking at their current predicament. The return of maximum pressure sanctions could be the trigger for weaponization. But the blows Iran has already received from Israel, combined with its struggling economy, could already be enough to trigger it to go nuclear at a time of its own choosing. U.S. policymakers should begin to build into their own calculations that Iranian nuclear weapons are an eventuality to be managed, but there is a limited opportunity to avoid this outcome.”
