    Igor Dodon “We are categorically opposed to this referendum. We are not saying 'no' to talks with the EU and we are not opposed to the EU. We oppose Sandu using it as an instrument for her own interests and those of her party. We are therefore asking voters during the campaign not to take part in the referendum.” 17 hours ago
  • Ben Hodges
    Ben Hodges “Since the fall of Avdiivka in Ukraine's east on February 17 [2024], its forces have oozed forward, swallowing several villages, as Ukrainian forces have performed tactical retreats. Here we are in April [2024], and [the Russians] are oozing out. Why is that? I think it's because that's the best the Russians can do. They do not have the capability to knock Ukraine out of the war. Russia lacked the ability to equip large armoured formations that could move rapidly, with supporting artillery, engineers and logistics. I don't think it exists. That's why I feel fairly confident that the mission for [Ukrainian] general Oleksandr Syrskyi for the next several months is to stabilise this as much as he can to buy time for Ukraine to grow the size of the army, to rebuild the defence industry of Ukraine, as well as give us time to find more ammunition for them. I think of 2024 as a year of industrial competition. So the army has got to buy time.” 19 hours ago

“If conflict were imminent on the Korean Peninsula, you wouldn't want to be a crew member on that submarine. Even if its nuclear attack capability is largely a bluff, that loud, slow boat could be sunk as soon as it left port. It's another example of North Korea misallocating resources against the welfare of its people. Kim wants to increase military power, but when Pyongyang is more threatening, it is actually less secure.”

“The more the enemies are dead set on staging nuclear war exercises and the more nuclear assets they deploy in the vicinity of the Korean peninsula, the stronger the exercise of our right to self-defence will become in direct proportion to them.”

“This type of material provocation by the North is always followed by a political offensive and socio-psychological offensive aimed at reunifying the Korean Peninsula under communism. The top priority is having a firm awareness of the enemy and a strong commitment to defending the Constitution by upholding our liberal democracy.”

“Unlike Moon Jae-in, whose focus was pretty much on inter-Korean relations and within the Korean Peninsula, Yoon pursues values-based internationalism and seeks to deal with the North Korea issue under that frame.”

“Instead of accepting invitations to dialogue, the Kim regime appears to be preparing a tactical nuclear warhead test. The timing will depend most on when the underground tunnels and modified device technology are ready. A seventh nuclear test would be the first since September 2017 and raise tensions on the Korean Peninsula, increasing dangers of miscalculation and miscommunication between the Kim regime and the incoming Yoon administration.”

“Kim [Kim Jong-un] ordered the test because of the daily-escalating military tension in and around the Korean peninsula and the inevitability of the long-standing confrontation with the U.S. imperialists accompanied by the danger of a nuclear war.”

“North Korea has kept its moratorium on nuclear tests and ICBM [intercontinental ballistic missiles] launches so far while expressing a willingness for dialogue. But if it did fire an intermediate-range ballistic missile, we can consider it has moved closer to scrapping the moratorium. The latest launch was a challenge to the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula, and diplomatic efforts by the international community, as well as an act that violates the U.N. Security Council resolution.”

“Peace on the Korean Peninsula does not come by itself and tensions are sometimes created on the Korean Peninsula. There are concerns that this could create tension and deepen the stalemate in inter-Korean relations. However, we must not let go of the chance for dialogue to fundamentally overcome this situation. North Korea should also make more serious efforts for dialogue. When the two Koreas work together and trust is built between them, peace will come to our side one day.”

“The invitation rather seems to be China's complaint to South Korea because Beijing has been sidelined from talks on the declaration so far. In their meeting, China's top priority is assumed to be stressing that Beijing should be included as a major interested party in the discussions for the end-of-war declaration, given the country's efforts to strengthen its presence to counter U.S. influence. If China participates in the end-of-war declaration discussions, however, the progress is anticipated to be more complex than it is now, because China also has to weigh between contradicting outcomes from different choices. The ultimate goal of the end-of-war declaration is signing a peace treaty and the normalization of U.S.-North Korea relations, which China may not want, considering the current backdrop of fierce U.S.-China competition. On the other hand, there is no reason for China to oppose a peace regime on the Korean Peninsula or the North's denuclearization. Also, it will be complicated for China to choose whether to accept the anticipated clause stating that the declaration does not affect the armistice status between the two Koreas.”

“I expect more in-depth discussions on various issues at the working level, including the end-of-war declaration. The declaration is meaningful as a gateway to talks for complete denuclearization and lasting peace on the Korean Peninsula.”

“It is high time for all the relevant parties to combine their efforts toward a single purpose - peace on the Korean Peninsula. The U.S., in particular, can play a crucial role toward that end. As already stated, the U.S. needs to cherish the spirit of the Singapore Agreement, a move toward peace and reconciliation. The North is desperate to earn equal status to other nations. Once it feels regime safety, it will come forward to the international community as a responsible and 'normal' member, instead of expanding its nuclear capabilities. For this, the easing of international 'retaliations' is necessary and the U.S. role is all the more crucial. This will in turn lead to regional peace and the North's lessened dependence on China, which will be in the interests of the U.S.”

“Under the current circumstances, the key to breaking the deadlock on the Korean Peninsula and restarting dialogue is that North Korea's justified and reasonable concerns should be taken seriously and addressed. The US should not fall back on empty slogans calling for dialogue, but should demonstrate sincerity and come up with a realistic dialogue proposal. The reversible provisions of North Korea-related UN Security Council resolutions should be activated as soon as possible and necessary adjustments should be made to the existing sanctions, especially those concerning the humanitarian and livelihood of North Korea. This will help restart peninsula dialogue and maintain peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula. As a close neighbor of the Korean Peninsula, China always supports the two Koreas to improve relations and advance reconciliation and cooperation through dialogue and consultation. We hope relevant measures will play a positive role in improving and developing North-South relations.”

“The DPRK [Democratic People's Republic of Korea] knows President Moon [Moon Jae-in] wants to take one last shot at forging a peace regime on the Korean Peninsula, while the North wants sanctions relief. It seems to me that due to these factors - and if the U.S. is at least willing to entertain some sort of sanctions relief - an inter-Korean summit seems inevitable.”

“The declaration of the termination of the war is an interesting and an admirable idea in that it itself is meant to put a physical end to the instable state of ceasefire that has remained on the Korean peninsula for a long time and to withdraw hostility toward the opposite party. We have willingness to keep our close contacts with the South again and have constructive discussion with it about the restoration and development of the bilateral relations if it is careful about its future language and not hostile toward us after breaking with the past when it often provoked us and made far-fetched assertions to find fault with anything done by us out of double-dealing standards.”

“So far this year, North Korea has begun carrying out its nuclear program as planned by restarting its nuclear facilities in Yongbyon and by test-firing ballistic missiles. With North Korea escalating its nuclear threat, an end-of-war declaration will only cause North Korea to misbelieve that it may see the withdrawal of the U.S. Forces Korea from the Korean Peninsula.”

“The North fired cruise and ballistic missiles from a train less than 10 days ago. This act reveals that the Korean Peninsula's situation has not changed, despite the three inter-Korean summits and two Pyongyang-Washington summits under the Moon government.”
