IPSEs IN THE LAST 24H
  • Ursula von der Leyen
    Ursula von der Leyen “I am following the situation in Georgia with great concern and condemn the violence on the streets of Tbilisi. The European Union has also clearly expressed its concerns regarding the law on foreign influence. The Georgian people want a European future for their country.” 13 hours ago
  • Oleksandr Kozachenko
    Oleksandr Kozachenko “If we compare it with the beginning (of the Russian invasion), when we fired up to 100 shells a day, then now, when we fire 30 shells it's a luxury. Sometimes the number of shells fired daily is in single digits.” 13 hours ago
  • Abdallah al-Dardari
    Abdallah al-Dardari “The United Nations Development Programme's initial estimates for the reconstruction of … the Gaza Strip surpasses $30bn and could reach up to $40bn. The scale of the destruction is huge and unprecedented … this is a mission that the global community has not dealt with since World War II.” 13 hours ago

“The agreement falls short ... on meaningful apology and reparations ... (and) contains no justice and only sharpens our pain.”

“She [Angela Merkel] really wanted to hear our opinions on the situation in our region as well as the Berlin Process, which she certainly sees as part of her legacy. I am convinced, after the conversation with us and everything she said during the meetings with the media in Belgrade and Tirana, that she will make an effort to continue supporting that process. I want to emphasize that I am convinced that by organizing the meeting and how the chancellor led it, she showed that she cares about a strong and responsible civil society in the Western Balkans.”

“The two countries have helped China and the EU to complete their investment agreement negotiations on schedule, and worked together to uphold multilateralism, safeguarded free trade, and actively dealt with climate change, working together to defend world peace and stability. The fundamental reason for the great achievements of China-Germany relations lies in the fact that the two countries respect each other, seek common ground while reserving differences, focus on win-win cooperation and pursue complementation of their respective advantages.”

“I have thought a lot about how I could summarize what was discussed at the meeting, and I think it is best to say that the two countries have agreed to rebuild Central Europe. However, at the moment, it is not enough just to rebuild Central Europe, but we must also protect it, to guarantee the security of Central Europe. Developments in Afghanistan suggest a large wave of migration that could lead to a very difficult situation both for Hungary and Serbia. It is clear to us that those migrants do not want to live in Serbia or Hungary, but want to go to Western European countries, which means that if we stand in the way of migrations, we are also defending Western European countries, for example Austria, Germany. That is assignment history, determined to us, not for the first time, that we defend Europe.”

“I personally believe there is absolutely no way around having talks with the Taliban … because we absolutely cannot afford to have instability in Afghanistan. That would aid terrorism and have a huge negative impact on neighbouring countries. We are not looking at questions of formal recognition, but we want to solve the existing problems - regarding the people in Afghanistan, the German citizens, but also the local staff who want to leave the country.”

“There are some discussions to see how flights could be re-established. What we have proposed, and what we plan to bring to the U.N. Security Council along with Britain and Germany is a solution that we have used before in other operations, which would involve creating a zone allowing people to arrive at that airport.”

“The situation in Afghanistan is becoming increasingly threatening. Whether charter flights or issuing visas after arrival in Germany, I support all measures that enable our local support staff and their families to leave the country quickly. There is no time for bureaucracy, we must act.”

“Should Russia attempt to use energy as a weapon or commit further aggressive actions against Ukraine, Germany will take actions at the national level and press for effective measures at the European level, including sanctions, to limit Russian export capabilities in the energy sector. More broadly we need to work together to reduce Ukrainian dependence, both its economic dependence on transit but its own dependence on Russian gas. You'll see when this is released a considerable effort by both the U.S. and Germany to help diversify energy supply and energy source for Ukraine, with concrete dollar figures, euro figures attached to it.”

“I think it is maybe not the right way forward. Because this would be a very lengthy process, many things in Kosovo could be delayed and it is not known how it would end. If you ask me if this is the right step, my answer would be no it's not. Politically, to sue a country for genocide means to send the whole country to court. It is very important, for Germany too, when we look at the history of my country, to face the past, but the guilt is always individual.”

“The scale of the crisis in India perhaps has not been seen anywhere else since the start of the pandemic. India has asked its external affairs ministry, with all of the embassies overseas, to source and import 50,000 metric tonnes of oxygen to save people's lives. Its defence ministry is also airlifting 23 mobile oxygen generation plants from Germany. The US Chamber of Commerce has asked the Biden administration to free millions of doses of the Oxford-Astrazeneca vaccine, which is in storage in the US and ship them to India as well as countries like Brazil hit hard by the pandemic.”

“If the US and other Western countries decide to inflict greater and more substantial damage to Hong Kong or even China, such as totally destroying Hong Kong's status as an international financial center, they should be prepared to abandon a huge number of interests related to the city as such sanctions on trade or finance would just be like a nuclear attack triggering mutual assured destruction economically and financially. The US and UK are different from other Western countries and major EU members like France and Germany on this matter, because China's latest move did create huge losses for the US and UK in Hong Kong. Behind the pretext of 'democracy', the real reason why Washington and London are extremely anxious at this moment is that "their long-lasting plan and huge amount of input in Hong Kong - to breed pro-West proxies or opposition parties to gain political power through the problematic election system - is totally doomed. Other G7 members or major EU powers don't share their pain, so not every Western country desires to escalate their confrontation with China on Hong Kong, so the 'long fight' with the West on Hong Kong is, in fact, mainly with the US and the UK.”

“There are clues that point to so-called bazaars where additional agreements between member states and pharmaceutical companies were made. Malta will receive three times as many doses per capita as Bulgaria until the end of July. The Netherlands would not only receive more doses of vaccine per capita until the end of June than Germany, but almost twice as many as Croatia. This is in clear contradiction to the political goals of the EU.”

“At this high-level segment, the U.K., EU, Germany, USA, Canada, and some other countries abused this forum of the Council to make groundless charges against China, to interfere in internal affairs of our country. We firmly oppose and categorically reject these attempts. Ignoring reality, the above-mentioned countries fabricate and spread lies about Xinjiang, Tibet and Hong Kong. They should resolve their own human rights problems such as deep-rooted racial discrimination, gaps between rich and poor, social inequity, injustice, police brutality.”

“In China-US ties, cooperation benefits both, and confrontation serves neither. This is not empty talk. Former US president Donald Trump's administration once frantically sought to decouple with China. Evidently, it failed to contain China's technological development. Worse, the US side had paid a considerable price. It is hoped that the Joe Biden administration can return to rationality, and stop pushing the two countries toward decoupling. The US won't be able to coordinate with its allies such as Germany to gang up against China. The economic prosperity of those countries will hardly last without cooperating with China. If the US insists on going its own way, it will end up becoming a lonely new cold war worrier. And if China is severely hurt, its powerful revenge will be inevitable.”

“Yes, Germany’s EU Presidency was a failure. However, I would not say that it is Germany’s fault, nor of all the countries in the Western Balkans. Some, such as North Macedonia, deserve to open the first chapters in the EU accession negotiations, but have been denied that right and cannot be said to be at fault. Others, such as Vučić’s Serbia, not only did almost nothing, but the rule of law and democracy, during 2020, further declined, and additional chapters with them were not opened.”

“Russia is bound by its own constitution and by international obligations to the principle of the rule of law and to the protection of civil rights. These principles must, of course, be applied to Alexei Navalny as well. He should be released immediately.”
