IPSEs IN THE LAST 24H
  • 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

“In Pokrovsk, in the city itself, the situation has not changed. It is stable. There is no enemy there. We have already had to counteract information thrown into the network that they have allegedly arrived. This is simply not true. The enemy is trying to cling to the area south of Pokrovsk in order to advance southwest of the settlement and cut off logistics routes. What is happening in the settlements south of Pokrovsk…there are constant battles, constant attempts by the enemy to take the area, make a base with it, and advance. The Russians are currently far from this goal, but they are trying.”

“This deal, which was unchanged from what was proposed in May 2024, proves the persistence of resistance groups, which took what they wanted while Israel was not able to take what it sought.”

“If Syria's new rulers manage to effectively run the country, it would serve as a real momentum boost for Islamist groups. To the leadership in U.A.E. and Saudi Arabia, there is a concern that the takeover of Syria by HTS will energize Islamists in those countries, and if [Ahmed al-Sharaa] succeeds in governing, it will be proof of concept for groups like the Muslim Brotherhood.”

“He's [Ahmad al-Awda] an opportunist or an intelligent and pragmatic player, depending on your perspective. In effect, [Awda] achieved a low level of autonomy. He became a local warlord. I'm sure the U.A.E. and [Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah] Sisi would aid an insurgency if one gets going in Syria. It depends on how effectively and quickly the new Syrian administration can establish order and authority. But if things in general degenerate, then [Awda] could be one warlord who might take foreign funds.”

“Starmer and the Labour Party have been trying to build links to Trump world and now to the Trump administration in waiting. I think you can see the appointment of Peter Mandelson as the next ambassador in that light. Somebody who is the ultimate sort of smooth political operator. Will it work? They're not natural soulmates on a lot of issues. But equally, Trump does seem to have a sort of soft spot for the U.K.”

“Trump is very angry with all the people who were happy that he was defeated by Biden. And I think he really wants to make all those people pay, von der Leyen and Scholz and Macron and all the others. He's back, a bit like in a movie, Trump 2.”
