“The war in the east is entering a decisive phase. No one knows how the conflict will end. The current threat is truly serious and real. This is uncharted territory for everyone.”

“The Oreshnik system has nothing to do with the modernization of the old Soviet systems. It is obvious that we were all raised watching various systems of the Soviet Union operating, we were all brought up on what was done by previous generations, and to a certain extent we used their results. However, this system is indeed the prime result of your work, the work that was done in Russian times, under the conditions of the new Russia, it was waged on the basis of modern, latest developments.”

“I used to think it was not in Russia's interest to share military technology, but perhaps its calculus has changed. The Russians need these troops, and this gives the North Koreans more leverage.”

“To keep fighting in Ukraine, Russia has become increasingly reliant on North Korea for troops and weapons in exchange for oil. This is having a direct impact on security in the Korean peninsula, Europe and Indo-Pacific.”

“While Kim Jong Un is providing Vladimir Putin with a lifeline to continue his war, Russia is quietly providing North Korea with a lifeline of its own. This steady flow of oil gives North Korea a level of stability it hasn't had since these sanctions were introduced.”

“The exact specifics of the Oreshnik seem key to Putin's message. A lot remains unclear, but most assessments, and Putin's own comments, agree this is a new missile, likely hypersonic, not nuclear (this time), but able to deliver multiple warheads in a fashion normally reserved for nuclear payloads. Putin said that at 3 km per second, its speed meant all Western air defenses were useless. US and NATO officials called the device medium-range and 'experimental,' comments that initially sound like they sought to downplay its significance but may actually point to a wider rift with Moscow.”

“He [Donald Trump] was very curious and wanted details but only to read them for his own advantage, to find arguments that strengthen him and weaken others. The more people there were in the room, the greater was his urge to be the winner. You can't chat with him. Every meeting is a competition: you or me.”

“As for the reaction to our response [the use of Russia's latest Oreshnik hypersonic intermediate-range ballistic missile], I understand that Zelensky got scared and started to directly blame his masters for leaving him defenseless against Russia's decisive action. This is probably a useful outcome. Because being closer to reality, feeling it firsthand, that's helpful.”

“In the coming days I will delve deeper into the reasons that led to the ICC's decision. Reasons that should always be objective and not political in nature. One point remains clear from this government - there cannot be an equivalence between the responsibility of the state of Israel and the terrorist organisation Hamas.”

“First, there's the intent and we have heard utterances both by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Gallant saying they intend to deprive the Palestinians in Gaza of fuel, electricity and food. And second, we have the level of trucks that were entering the Gaza Strip before October, which was around 500 trucks … and it has gone down recently to only 50 or 100 trucks or so. Since Israeli authorities are controlling all the borders to the Gaza Strip, this is evidence that it isn't providing the necessary food items. We also have evidence from doctors and different UN agencies that have been telling us for months that malnutrition is spreading among the population. In several places, there's over 20-30 percent of children suffering from acute malnutrition.”

“The main message is that the reckless decisions and actions of Western countries, which produce missiles, supply them to Ukraine, and subsequently take part in carrying out strikes on Russian territory, cannot remain without a reaction from the Russian side.”
