“I want to have our money secured because we're spending hundreds of billions of dollars.... I told them I want the equivalent of like $500 billion worth of rare earth and they've essentially agreed to do that. And, you know, they may make a deal, they may not make a deal, they may be Russian some day, or they may not be Russian some day, but we're going to have all this money in there and I say we're going to want it back.”

“Even though [LVV] is the winner, they suffered quite a decline [in support, 50.28 percent in 2021]. This shows the citizens' distrust toward the ruling party. There will be a major battle over how the government is formed. It is not clear if Kurti will be able to quickly put together a coalition or if the country will suffer through several months of negotiations and uncertainty. There is a lot of uncertainty. [The LVV] is a party that does not shift from its initial positions and will have a hard time relinquishing power.”

“It's essential to understand that when we talk about the principle of 'nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine,' we mean that decisions shouldn't be made without Ukraine's participation. Putin doesn't want negotiations, and he wants to decide Ukraine's fate without Ukraine's participation. He hopes that the United States and Russia will agree on Ukraine's fate, and Ukraine will become part of Russia's sphere of influence.”

“China really learned a lesson from the first Trump administration. It's not wise to immediately take a dramatic measure against Trump, because at the end of the day, we know for sure Trump is very transactional.”
