IPSEs IN THE LAST 24H
  • Steve Witkoff
    Steve Witkoff “The meeting was positive, upbeat, constructive. Everybody was there to get to the right outcome.” 23 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.” 23 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.” 23 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.” 23 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.” 23 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.” 23 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].” 23 hours ago

“Biden can take credit for the recently announced ceasefire deal, as the provisions in it are the ones he pushed. But the idea that Biden's administration solved the issue is not correct. What I think what happened is that when [Biden] put [the deal] forward in May he was basically the lame-duck president. We did not know who was going to be elected. I think Netanyahu thought that given his previous relationship with Trump, when Trump came in, he could get even more aggressive. I think what surprised him was Trump, even now during the transition period, has sent somebody to work with Biden on getting the truce. [Trump] let it be clear to Netanyahu that he wanted this over as soon as he took office, and if Netanyahu didn't accept that, then he basically might consider whether he would continue to send him the same amount of aid that's being sent.”

“I'm back home in Edmonton to declare my candidacy for leader of the Liberal Party and prime minister of Canada. Too many are falling behind. Too many young people can't afford a home. Too many people can't find a doctor. And then on top of that … in just four days, the United States will swear in Donald Trump as their 47th president, a man who threatens economic force on his closest, most steadfast allies, including Canada. 'Canada is broken' was one of Pierre Poilievre's many three-word slogans, and it couldn't be more dangerous. Conservatives don't run around saying Canada is broken because they want to fix it. They want a licence to demolish and destroy. Their three-word soundbites won't solve problems, but they will hurt regular people.”

“I think Ken Howery was an effective ambassador to Sweden several years back. I absolutely believe in the private-sector experience. But I'd say this: If you're entering into the political firestorm that would be Donald Trump's stated desire to purchase Greenland, I don't believe there's very much on your résumé that can help you navigate that.”

“In any event, the government is likely to survive until the end of the first phase of the deal. But Mr. Netanyahu may have to decide between his parliamentary majority and his relationship with the incoming administration in Washington, with Mr. Trump and Saudi Arabia perhaps offering him the opportunity to burnish his legacy. I think his mind is already in the next big move. If he has to choose between an intimate relationship with the Trump administration and Smotrich and Ben-Gvir, he'll opt for Trump.”

“Netanyahu wants to stay in power. It doesn't make any sense for him to go to elections that he might not win. He wants another two years leading the government.”

“Let me be very clear to everybody here in Ukraine when I say we will work with you and all of our allies on steps that would be robust enough to guarantee Ukraine's security, to guarantee any possible peace and deter any future aggression. Peace through strength must be more than words, it's got to be actions. Therefore, as I say, we will play our part when it comes to guaranteeing Ukraine's security. But we must never lose sight of the absolute need for Ukraine to be in the strongest possible position as we go into 2025.”

“Trump is going to be the critical variable when it comes to the Israeli side. If Trump is happy with having orchestrated the first phase and then moves on to other issues, it will be harder to keep the cease-fire in place. If Mr. Trump retains his focus, it will be tougher for Netanyahu not to find ways to extend the cease-fire deal and figure out other ways to appease his disgruntled coalition members.”

“Europe without the Ukrainian army will not cope with the Russian army, because it is larger in terms of numbers. Russia has more weapons, more people and is [crueller] than the Europeans. Without the Ukrainian army, Europe unfortunately has no chance against Russia today. Putin knows this and talks about it in his circle. Therefore, if Ukraine does not defend itself, he will quickly move on. This is a fact. I am absolutely convinced of this. They [the West] do not want to recognize one truth about the Russians: They will go further. Period. This one statement contains the answer to all questions, because if you know for sure that the Russians will go further ... Why not strengthen Ukraine as much as possible, increase production at home, for your armed forces?”
