  • Steve Witkoff
    Steve Witkoff “The meeting was positive, upbeat, constructive. Everybody was there to get to the right outcome.” 22 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.” 22 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.” 22 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.” 22 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.” 22 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.” 22 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].” 22 hours ago

“He [Zelenskyy] goes around Europe, just begging and blackmailing others, asking for money. It just has to stop. Russia has never deceived us, unlike Ukraine. I remember the situation in 2009 when I was in Ukraine and asked Ukrainian Prime Minister Tymoshenko to give us some gas from the reservoirs in the western part of Ukraine, and I was told to go to hell. These are typical Ukrainians.”

“We share his [Antonio Tajani] opinion that the reasons for imposing them no longer exist, and could be an obstacle to encouraging the return of refugees from outside Syria.”

“Sanctions imposed after al-Assad's crackdown on antigovernment protests that triggered the country's 13-year civil war absolutely must not hit the Syrian population. They were imposed because there was a different regime. It's important to open discussions on the changed situation.”

“Gains in Kursk could boost Ukrainian morale and change the battlefield narrative at a critical time in the war. It would also be a blow to Russian President Vladimir Putin's image as a strong man defending Russia. Ukraine's chances of success in Kursk are higher than in the heavily fortified eastern front. Russia not only has most of its forces deployed in eastern Ukraine but also extensive defensive lines. An offensive [in eastern Ukraine] would be a slow grind likely with limited success and heavy casualties, and it would weaken Ukrainian defenses in the area. The Ukrainian units are already wearing down really badly in eastern Ukraine and I don't think Zelenskiy wants to hasten that. I do not expect Ukraine's offensive in Kursk to last long considering the manpower constraints. In some ways, I see this as the opening salvo in the peace negotiations, getting Ukraine into as strong a position as it can be, and giving more to trade back to Russia at the negotiating table.”

“The debate on Greenlandic independence and the latest announcements from the US show us the large interest in Greenland. Events which set in motion a lot of thoughts and feelings with many in Greenland and Denmark. The US is our closest ally, and we will do everything to continue a strong cooperation.”

“Greenland is for the Greenlandic people. We do not want to be Danish, we do not want to be American. We want to be Greenlandic. We have a desire for independence, a desire to be the master of our own house … This is something everyone should respect. But that doesn't mean we are cutting all ties, all cooperation and all relations with Denmark.”

“It is important to recognize that the law leaves speech on TikTok unrestricted once the platform is freed from foreign control. All of the same speech that's happening on TikTok could happen post-divestiture. The act doesn't regulate that at all. So it's not saying you can't have pro-China speech, you can't have anti-American speech. It's not regulating the algorithm. TikTok, if it were able to do so, could use precisely the same algorithm to display the same content by the same users. All the act is doing is trying to surgically remove the ability of a foreign adversary nation to get our data and to be able to exercise control over the platform.”

“The border is quieter than it has been in year. The number of people entering Border Patrol custody is as low as the first months of the pandemic. And for the first time ever, more people are making appointments at official crossings - an orderly process - than are being captured in between. Migrants will delay their plans, if they can, to see what happens after an anti-immigration president takes power.”

“Aoun has interlocking objectives. He has to address Hezbollah's weapons through some sort of dialogue forum. Yet he can only do so if he secures funding to rebuild mainly Shi'a areas. And for this he must engage in economic reform, because the Gulf states now demand it.”

“The election of the U.S-backed Aoun indicates that Hezbollah has come to terms with the new political realities in Lebanon. By backing Aoun's election, Hezbollah sought to avoid being blamed for prolonging Lebanon's political gridlock while also ensuring that more staunchly anti-Hezbollah figures such as Samir Geagea did not become president.[Hezbollah's] focus remains on survival while working toward a more stable situation in the country, which they hope to use over time to regain strength and rehabilitate their position. It is quite evident that, as Hezbollah's role diminishes in Lebanon's political and military affairs, Iranian influence is also waning.”
