  • Craig Kennedy
    Craig Kennedy “Moscow's funding challenges only increase from here, especially if coalition countries enforce more fully the powerful energy sanction tools at their disposal. Through continued resolve and a clear understanding of Moscow's vulnerabilities, Ukraine and its allies can realise the full potential of their negotiating leverage, avoid making unnecessary concessions, and reduce the longer-term risks posed by Russian revanchism.” 4 minutes ago
  • Justin Trudeau
    Justin Trudeau “The 51st state, that's not going to happen. But people are talking about that, as opposed to talking about what impact 25% tariffs (has) on steel and aluminum coming into the United States. No American wants to pay 25% more for electricity or oil and gas coming in from Canada. That's something I think people need to pay a little more attention to.” 9 minutes ago
  • Stephen J. Rapp
    Stephen J. Rapp “Any prosecution has to be a good process, otherwise it'll look like score-settling. And that can play a key role in reconciling a society and defusing efforts to settle scores, for instance, against the children of parents who committed these crimes.” 8 hours ago
  • Kaja Kallas
    Kaja Kallas “We will be looking at how to ease sanctions. But this must follow tangible progress in a political transition that reflects Syria in all its diversity.” 13 hours ago
  • Hossein Salami
    Hossein Salami “Iran's military is not as weak as some believed. We know that such judgments are the dreams of the enemy, not realities on the ground. Be careful, don't make any strategic mistakes or miscalculations.” 13 hours ago
  • Keith Kellog
    Keith Kellog “These pressures are not just kinetic, just not military force, but they must be economic and diplomatic as well. There are now opportunities to change Iran for the better. We must exploit the weakness we now see. The hope is there, so must too be the action.” 13 hours ago
  • Annalena Baerbock
    Annalena Baerbock “Sanctions against Assad's henchmen who committed serious crimes during the civil war must remain in place. Germany would provide another €50m for food, emergency shelter and medical care. Syrians now need a quick dividend from the transition of power.” 13 hours ago

“Greenland, as an autonomous territory within the Kingdom of Denmark, enjoys sovereignty under the Rigsfællesskabet framework, and any military intervention would constitute a direct violation of its rights as well as Denmark's. Denmark and the EU are navigating a challenging balancing act: they must underscore the seriousness of being threatened on such a fundamental principle as sovereignty while striving to maintain a constructive relationship with the United States, a key transatlantic partner. This situation requires strategic diplomacy, combining firm boundaries with efforts to de-escalate tensions and safeguard broader cooperative interests. If Trump's threat were to materialise, it could represent a fundamental rupture in the relationship between the US and EU as well as the collapse of the current international order, including NATO and the liberal world order. This underscores Europe's vested interest in doing everything possible to downplay the likelihood of this ever becoming a reality, preserving stability and ensuring that speculative threats remain just that - speculative.”

“Either the European Commission applies with the greatest firmness the laws that exist to protect our unique space or it does not, and in that case, it should think about giving the capacity to do so back to EU member states.”

“The EU reaffirms its strong support for all UN agencies, including UNRWA, a crucial partner in the Middle East. UNRWA's work is irreplaceable for Palestine refugees. We urge Israel to freeze the implementation of its bills to ensure access of services.”

“The impact on the EU as a whole would be marginal. I would even dare to say that one risk - that the traders were constantly dealing with and that was being constantly manipulated and driving the price up - has finally disappeared. So soon it will become very apparent that Slovakia is well-supplied and no problems are occurring, and that the prices on the EU market are falling.”

“We all know that for now, the jury is still out. It is too early to say whether the new leadership will be able to deliver what they promise. These efforts will have to be matched by real deeds by the new leadership in Damascus. So this is a step-by-step approach that we are choosing.”

“It would be naïve to think that three incidents since October 2023 could be merely a coincidence. We know about Russia's shadow fleet operating in our area, and we know Russia is systematically conducting hybrid warfare against its neighboring NATO/EU countries. It's time to drop the illusions and face it: In the context of hybrid warfare, we must not only focus on military threats but also consider hybrid threats.”

“It's a tragedy for Slovakia that Prime Minister Fico is not only steering our country eastward rhetorically but also through concrete actions. This is a betrayal of our Ukrainian neighbour fighting for survival, a betrayal of our EU and NATO allies, and a deceit against the Slovak people.”

“We are holding very intense talks at an international level on gas supplies in 2025. There are many hurdles, such as political statements by the Ukrainian side, the pressure for suspension of supplies from the East to the West, proposals on gas deliveries that are much more expensive. Slovakia will rebuff pressure to only accept gas supplies from the West. We see no reasons to pay for gas more than required due to geopolitical reasons. I am confident that a solution can be found for [gas supplies] to several EU countries with gas transit via the territory of Slovakia and Ukraine maintained. In the coming days, including during the Christmas holidays, you may witness exceptionally intense negotiations at various levels and in different countries, starting as early as next week.”

“The transition will present huge challenges in Syria and in the region. There are legitimate concerns about the risks of sectarian violence, extremist resurgence and the governance vacuum, all of which must be averted. The rights of all Syrians, including those of many minority groups, must be protected. It is crucial to preserve the territorial integrity of Syria, and to respect its independence, its sovereignty, as well as the state institutions.”

“Europe is ready to support safeguarding national unity and rebuilding a Syrian state that protects all minorities. The cruel Assad dictatorship has collapsed. This historic change in the region offers opportunities but is not without risks.”

“Any violation of the law will be met with the full rigor of the law. Neither will those politicians who hide in their offices and sacrifice members of their violent groups to severe punishment escape responsibility. Georgia's European integration had not been halted. The only thing we have rejected is the shameful and offensive blackmail, which was, in fact, a significant obstacle to our country's European integration.”

“Georgia is a European country and that it is our responsibility to make Georgia a full-fledged member of the European family, but Georgia-EU relations are bilateral and can only be bilateral. We are a proud and self-respecting nation with a long history. Therefore, it is categorically unacceptable for us to consider integration into the European Union as a favour that the European Union should grant us.”

“Allowing Georgia to slip into authoritarian hands would send a dangerous message that democratic values are negotiable. For the US and EU, this is not just about Georgia. At stake is the West's credibility in the wider region. Georgia aligns with Western foreign policy priorities such as countering the expansion of Chinese, Russian, and Iranian influence in the Black Sea region.”

“The stakes in the two polls are high. Firstly Romania is faced with two important realities next year: the threat of further instability and conflict in the region and globally, especially in the context of a [President-elect Donald] Trump White House. Secondly, the risks of deepening economic and financial crisis, given that [Romania is] currently running one of the highest twin budget deficits and inflation rates in the EU and the cost of commodities has continued to increase while government expenditure has stayed high (largely because of the bloated state apparatus). Voters care about the cost of living, bringing down inflation, and the budget deficit, which are among the highest in the EU. They also care about fiscal predictability and avoiding potentially very strict austerity measures. The threat of regional instability and war is also a source of concern. Voters care about candidates' positions on Ukraine, Russia, Trump, the extent of their Euro-Atlantic orientation. Voters are also focused on the presidential candidates' ability to lead the country in case of escalating tensions with Russia.”

“The EU has imposed many sanctions - from visa bans and terrorist designations to import restrictions and sanctions - in other cases of violations of international law, but until now Israel has been spared from any meaningful consequences. This has to change. This is why I have proposed an import ban on illegal settlement products, based on the recent advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice, similar to the existing import ban on products from occupied Ukrainian territories - because even-handedness is the lynchpin of Europe's credibility.”
