  • Yi Wang
    Yi Wang “No conflict or war ends on the battlefield, but rather at the negotiating table. China supports the convening at an appropriate time of an international peace conference that is acceptable to the Russian and Ukrainian sides with the participation of all parties equally. There, peace plans can be discussed, fairly, to achieve a ceasefire as soon as possible. We must always insist on an objective and just position, there is no magic wand to solve the crisis. All parties should start with themselves.” 11 hours ago
  • Boris Pistorius
    Boris Pistorius “Russia is already producing weapons and ammunition beyond its need for conducting an aggressive war against Ukraine. With increased spending on armaments and the streamlining of the military economy, a significant portion or part of what is produced no longer goes to the front line, but ends up in warehouses. Now you can be naive and say he's doing it just out of caution. As a sceptical person, I would say in this case that he's doing it because he has plans or could have them.” 17 hours ago
  • Emmanuel Macron
    Emmanuel Macron “There is a risk our Europe could die. We are not equipped to face the risks. Russia must not be allowed to win in Ukraine. Europeans should give preference to buying European military equipment. We must produce more, we must produce faster, and we must produce as Europeans.” 17 hours ago
  • Aleksey Kushch
    Aleksey Kushch “By including the Ukraine package in a bill that also provides military aid to Israel and Taiwan, the US shows the world that it equals Ukraine's and Israel's archenemies - Russia and Iran. This is a mighty geopolitical slap for China. As the trade turnover between Russia and China rose to $240bn last year, the more the US pushes Beijing, the more discounts for oil and gas China gets from Russia.” 18 hours ago
  • Nikolay Mitrokhin
    Nikolay Mitrokhin “The aid is a surprisingly exact match of Ukrainian military's needs that mostly has a deficit of air defence weaponry of all kinds and also needs to replenish its arsenal of tank destroyers, anti-infantry landmines and other kinds of ammunition. It's obviously needed to deliver infantry and other ground troops to the front line but not for an advance - otherwise the US would have given tanks.” 18 hours ago
  • Ihor Romanenko
    Ihor Romanenko “The aid can improve the situation on the 1,000km-long (620-mile-long) front line. But the aid looks like a handout to show that we haven't been forgotten, no more than that. They're always late, they hit the brakes, they're afraid. All of that is done to catch up [with Russia], but wars are won by those who act ahead of time.” 18 hours ago

“The current (Yoon Suk-yeol) government has this last opportunity for denuclearization. Perhaps, we have already missed it. North Korea perceives the current situation as a new Cold War and has strengthened relations with China and Russia … This means that North Korea's need for U.S. security guarantees and, therefore, reasons for abandoning its nuclear weapons will decrease.”

“Our policy hasn't changed. But unfortunately it doesn't seem to be the same for the PRC [People's Republic of China]. The PRC moves threaten to undermine peace and stability. That isn't just a US interest, it's a matter of international concern. The US would maintain its active presence across the Asia Pacific. We will fly, sail and operate wherever international law allows, and we will do this alongside our partners. Let me be clear, we do not seek confrontation or conflict. We do not seek a new Cold War, an Asian NATO or a region split into hostile blocs… [but] we will defend our interests without flinching.”

“Russia and Cyprus have longstanding links because of the Orthodox Church and the fact that Cyprus was part of the nonaligned movement in the Cold War. It had a good non-double taxation treaty with the Soviet Union, which carried on after 1990, so that generated a lot of business after the breakup of the USSR. And [Cypriots] don't have the mistrust of Russia that NATO countries have. Already since 2013 Russians had moved away from the banks, gradually they moved out of professional services sector, then they moved out of real estate, now it's right across the board.”

“It is those countries that delude themselves into thinking that they can lord it over the world after winning the Cold War, those that keep driving NATO's eastward expansion five times in disregard of other countries' security concerns, and those that wage wars across the globe while accusing other countries of being belligerent, that should really feel 'uncomfortable'.”

“The long-term goals of Russia following the end of the Cold War have been to recover the great power status of Soviet Union, to be seen as equal by the West and to be able to influence political developments in its smaller neighbours like Ukraine, Moldova or Kazakhstan. However, Ukraine has been incorporating itself into the Western orbit of influence, and thus going against Putin's interests. Accordingly, placing a Russian-friendly government in Kyiv is most likely the main objective of the Kremlin's military intervention.”

“There can be no doubt that we have now the biggest concentration of military forces since the end of the Cold War in Europe.”

“China is the only power capable of using its economic, diplomatic, military and technological power to mount a sustained challenge to a stable and open international system. The world's two largest economic powers have real differences both over interests and values, but the way that you manage them counts. Chinese leaders have been increasingly vocal about their dissatisfaction with the prevailing order - and about their aim of displacing America from its global leadership role. We seek neither confrontation nor conflict... We're not seeking a new cold war or a world divided into rigid blocs.”

“Traditional diplomatic tools and mechanisms available during the Cold War and an era of unipolar U.S. dominance are gone. Without those tools and mechanisms there is a greater risk that these escalations or this escalation could lead to miscalculation. So I think that's the real challenge we have to be confronted with.”

“China-US relations at the moment make countries in the region worried, and the possibility of a new Cold War between China and the US cannot be ruled out.”

“It has not been more difficult since the end of the Cold War. We still have avenues and channels for communications with Russia, but we regret the Russian decision to close the two NATO offices in Moscow, and to also stop their activity at that NATO mission here at NATO. NATO's approach to Russia remains the same as before, meaning credible deterrence and defense, combined with efforts to have a meaningful dialogue with Russia.”

“There are good reasons that neither government wants to call it a Cold War. But they are both approaching it that way, and the politics on both sides are making it hard to imagine how we will keep it from evolving into that.”

“NATO needs to be vigilant in the face of malign Russian activity and described relations with Moscow as at their lowest point since the end of the Cold War. That's because of the Russian behaviour... We are ready also to convene a NATO-Russia council meeting. We have actually invited Russia for now a long time. So far, Russia has not responded positively.”

“We're opening a new era of relentless diplomacy, of using the power of our development aid to invest in new ways of lifting people up around the world... Today, many of our greatest concerns cannot be solved or even addressed by the force of arms. Bombs and bullets cannot defend against COVID-19 or its future variants... We are not seeking a new Cold War or a world divided into rigid blocs... We will choose to build a better future. We, you and I, we have the will and capacity to make it better. Ladies and gentlemen, we cannot afford to waste any more time. We can do this.”

“When the Rafale [fighter jet] enter service in a few months, Turkey will have a serious problem in the balance of power vis-a-vis Greece. And if the Americans embargo spare parts for their existing F-16s, then the problem will become extremely serious, at least for the medium term. If it [Turkey] buys Sukhoi it will be a much more decisive step away from the Western architecture than the S-400 purchase … We are at the start of a Cold War. Turkey's move may be an irreversible rift with the West.”

“What China wants to avoid is the kind of Cold War containment where its neighbours are pulled into an antagonistic relationship. Their answer to this militaristic approach is an economic one.”

“The whole U.S. establishment seems to have shifted, very sharply, against China. There has been almost a Cold War reflex - a sense [we in the U.S. are] fighting on behalf of everyone, because a peaceful [Chinese] rise didn't pan out and confrontation is necessary to force China to change the way it behaves.”

“The reason why US politicians are getting nervous and frustrated over the Communist Party of China's (CPC) leadership of China is that they found the CPC's leadership is the key reason for China's fast development, which creates the most serious pushback for the US' hegemony. So if we want to win this competition that was forced by the US, we must focus on our own development and not get distracted. The US is not afraid of a cold war with us, it is afraid of our development.”
