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

“You have to look at what would be enduring and what would make sure that the program doesn't come back. So one of the things you have to assess is: If that were to happen, would Iran simply rebuild and rebuild even deeper underground in a place that would be even harder to get to? Iran has accumulated enough fissile material necessary for a nuclear weapon and could upgrade material to bomb-grade quality within a week or so. However, actually developing a weapon would take far longer. Iran is going to be faced with decisions of its own of how it wants to move forward, but I think the incoming administration would have an opportunity precisely because Iran's on its back feet - the - it's suffering economically in a terrible way. Its people are disputing so much of what the regime has done, particularly in meddling in the affairs of other countries throughout the region. This is a moment of opportunity, and maybe a moment of opportunity to resolve in an enduring way the nuclear challenge posed by Iran, but also the actions that Iran takes throughout the region.”

“This time around, backers of Mr. Trump and his agenda are pretty coordinated. We know that one of the mistakes from the first time around was that we didn't really have any outside groups, and the ones that were around weren't really on board with the Trump agenda. This time, it's more sophisticated, it's got more money, it's got a whole media and influencer ecosystem, and it started earlier, because a lot of it came out of the campaign.”

“As big as a Ukraine cease-fire would be it's far from everything. The sabotage is all part of a larger pattern. Russia has turned into a revolutionary actor. Russia has turned into a country seeking to undermine the international order. And the real question is: Can a Trump administration do something about that?”

“The reality is we are going to work with the U.S. - yesterday, today and tomorrow. Greenlanders did not want to become Americans. We have to be very smart on how we act. The power struggles between the superpowers are rising and are now knocking on our door.”

“People are trying to block a main road into the centre of the capital. The aim here by people trying to block the road with burning tyres, with stones - they also throw rocks sometimes - is to stop people passing back and forth on this road and it's part of the strategy to bring Maputo to a standstill.”

“The whole political dynamic has changed. It's a total collapse of the old modus operandi. The Arab countries are on board, there's a possibility of Lebanon being welcomed back to the Arab family. It's an unbelievable change. You can feel the weakening of Iran.”

“U.S. military infrastructure in the Arctic has languished. It is the weakest link in homeland defense. If you want to be a powerful space-faring nation and be able to project space power in terms of offensive and defensive space weapon systems and other sorts of ISR (intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance), you have to have infrastructure in the Arctic Circle - not to mention the Antarctic Circle - to seamlessly communicate and control all of your satellites. United States suspected China's real interest in those projects [buy ports, other infrastructure, and mining rights on Greenland] was to place dual-use sensors and radars in the Arctic Circle to help control their military satellites and gather intelligence on U.S. space-based operations in the region. If China can disrupt our 'Kill Chain' - our space-based assets, our satellites - then we will struggle to shoot things down. We will struggle to target, identify, attack, so that's why Greenland ends up actually mattering a lot.”

“Greenland is growing in importance as we find ourselves in a global competition with China and in a new technological revolution with regards to warfare. So, Greenland is important from a missile-defense perspective, from a space perspective, and from a global competition perspective, in which shipping and maritime sea lanes are increasingly important.”

“I am confident that 14 million Syrians will return to their country in two years. Only around 1 to 1.5 million will remain (abroad). If the state is weak, the citizens of that country cannot be strong. Syrian people overcame their despair through the revolution. Now, Syrians hold their heads high everywhere. We have changed the course of history. There is social consensus in Syria. Thanks to this, for the first time in Syria, people will be able to live together with love.”

“Of course, such decisions cannot but lead to a certain destabilization of international energy markets, oil markets. The routes for the export of Russian energy cannot be cut off by the sanctions. If something is blocked in one place, alternative options appear in another. Therefore, a search will be conducted for such work options that will minimize the consequences of sanctions. It is clear that the United States will continue to try to undermine the positions of our companies in non-competitive ways. Of course, we expect that we will be able to counteract this.”
