IPSEs IN THE LAST 24H
  • Volodymyr Zelenskiy
    Volodymyr Zelenskiy “It is important that partners support our soldiers and Ukrainian stability with timely supplies. Really timely. The package that really helps is the weapons brought to Ukraine, not just the ones announced.” 8 hours ago
  • Oleh Syniehubov
    Oleh Syniehubov “We clearly understand what forces the enemy is using in the north of our territory. Certainly, the escalation can grow, the pressure can increase, it can strengthen its military units, its military presence. As of now the enemy keeps pressing in the north of our region. Our forces have repelled nine attacks.” 8 hours ago
  • Anatoly Antonov
    Anatoly Antonov “The yet another arms shipment to the Zelensky regime is a reaction to the success of the Russian Armed Forces at the frontline. Our soldiers and officers continue to liberate the Russian land by their heroic efforts. America acknowledges this fact.” 15 hours ago
  • Louise Wateridge
    Louise Wateridge “Everywhere you look now in west Rafah this morning, families are packing up. Streets are significantly emptier. UNRWA estimates 150,000 people have now fled Rafah. New areas have been issued evacuation orders towards central Rafah in south Gaza and Jabalia in North Gaza.” 18 hours ago
  • Donald Tusk
    Donald Tusk “The Polish-Belarusian border is a unique place due to the pressure of illegal immigration. In fact, we are dealing with a progressing hybrid war. I want there to be no doubts here - a country with increasingly aggressive intentions towards Poland, such as Belarus, is co-organising this practice on the Polish border. It is not only Poland's internal border, but also the EU border. Therefore, I have no doubt that all of Europe will have to ... invest in its security by investing in Poland's eastern border and in the security of our border.” 19 hours ago
  • Jakub Palowski
    Jakub Palowski “A direct attack on Kharkiv is quite unlikely because it is a big city. Ukraine currently has a mobilised army and, in the absence of a surprise, the defence of such a city would be quite effective. It is hard to tell what Russia wants to achieve in the Kharkiv region. It might be the opening of a new full-scale front, similar to the Donbas region; actions that would aim at capturing a limited area and accumulating Ukrainian troops in one place, so that they cannot be used elsewhere; or creating conditions for further offensives.” 19 hours ago
  • Yevgen Shapoval
    Yevgen Shapoval “Some people are panicking, but not like the occupiers would like them to. Yes, explosions are heard close up and the situation is not easy. It is difficult especially psychologically. We must be consistent and believe in Ukraine's defence forces. So even if they try to do something, to attack, they will get the response they deserve. Yes - some local tactical movements and even some larger-scale offensive operations are possible. But as for Kharkiv, I don't believe it can be captured.” 19 hours ago
  • Georgios Petropoulos
    Georgios Petropoulos “We simply have no tents, we have no blankets, no bedding, none of the items that you would expect a population on the move to be able to get from the humanitarian system.” 19 hours ago

“In 2020, Taiwan was [the US'] ninth-largest trading partner overall, and our seventh-largest consumer of agricultural goods. Only Canada and Mexico consume more on a per-capita basis of US goods, services and products than Taiwan does. Of course, whenever you have a close relationship, there will be obstacles, right? Nothing is ever perfect, but the obstacles that we have I would say are manageable. They're primarily technical in nature. We would love to see Taiwanese companies invest more in the United States. We would love to see and are ready to work on increasing Taiwanese consumers' confidence in American pork products. Now that we're through the referendum, there are a bunch of other issues related to technical certifications for various kinds of devices, but that's all stuff that we work on all the time.”
