Abu Obeida “The enemy has achieved nothing except carrying out death and destruction in its 200 days of war on Gaza. Israel is still trying to recover and restore its image. The enemy is in a quagmire, stuck in the sands of Gaza. It will reap nothing but shame and defeat. Two hundreds days on and our resistance in Gaza is as solid as the mountains of Palestine. We will continue our strikes and resistance as long as the occupation's aggression continues on our land. The occupation forces are trying to convince the world that they have eliminated all resistance factions, and this is a big lie.” 3 hours ago
Rishi Sunak “We will put the UK's own defence industry on a war footing. One of the central lessons of the war in Ukraine is that we need deeper stockpiles of munitions and for industry to be able to replenish them more quickly.” 3 hours ago
Wang Wenbin “The United States has unveiled a large-scale aid bill for Ukraine while also making groundless accusations against normal trade between China and Russia. This kind of approach is extremely hypocritical and utterly irresponsible, and China is firmly opposed to it.” 3 hours ago
Antony Blinken “When it comes to Russia's defense industrial base the primary contributor in this moment to that is China. We see China sharing machine tools, semiconductors, other dual use items that have helped Russia rebuild the defense industrial base. China can't have it both ways. It can't afford that. You want to have positive, friendly relations with countries in Europe, and at the same time, you are fueling the biggest threat to European security since the end of the Cold War.” 3 hours ago
Sergei Shoigu “In proportion to the threats posed by the United States and its allies, we will continue to improve the composition and structure of the armed forces and increase the production of the most popular weapons and military equipment. We will increase the intensity of attacks on logistics centres and storage bases for Western weapons.” 4 hours ago
Kyrylo Budanov “According to our assessment, we are anticipating a rather difficult situation shortly. However, it is not catastrophic, and this must be understood. Armageddon will not happen, despite what many are starting to claim. But we anticipate problems from mid-May. The Russians will adopt a multifaceted approach. They are orchestrating a complex operation... It will be a difficult period. [Expect this to unfold] around mid-May to early June.” 21 hours ago

“Putin insinuating that they are some sort of nuclear weapon is bonkers. Depleted uranium is completely inert. There is no way that you could create a nuclear reaction or a nuclear explosion with depleted uranium.”

“The United Kingdom… announced not only the supply of tanks to Ukraine but also shells with depleted uranium. If this happens, Russia will be forced to react. If all this happens, Russia will have to respond accordingly, given that the West collectively is already beginning to use weapons with a nuclear component.”

“The de-dollarization of the economy, which the Russian authorities are so proud of, essentially translates into 'yuanization.' Russia is drifting toward a yuan currency zone, swapping its dollar dependence for reliance on the yuan. This is hardly a reliable substitution: now Russian reserves and payments will be influenced by the policies of the Chinese Communist Party and the People's Bank of China. Should relations between the two countries deteriorate, Russia may face reserve losses and payment disruptions.”

“Xi's trip to Russia is mainly about maintaining closer Sino-Russian relations in the post-pandemic era when both powers are experiencing hard times. It is fair to expect China and Russia will have a tighter bonding economically and diplomatically.”

“There had been fewer attacks along the front line than usual over the past 24 hours. This could be linked to the visit to Moscow by the Chinese leader. Why? Because Putin is hardly likely to put aggression on display on the front lines, particularly as China has spoken in favour of a ceasefire and of an end to the war. So this is likely to continue throughout his two-day visit.”
