IPSEs IN THE LAST 24H
  • Wang Wenbin
    Wang Wenbin “China is not the creator of or a party to the Ukraine Crisis. We have been on the side of peace and dialogue and committed to promoting peace talks. We actively support putting in place a balanced, effective and sustainable European security architecture. Our fair and objective position and constructive role have been widely recognized. 'Let the person who tied the bell on the tiger untie it,' to quote a Chinese saying. Our message to the US: stop shifting the blame on China; do not try to drive a wedge between China and Europe; and it is time to stop fueling the flame and start making real contribution to finding a political solution to the Ukraine crisis.” 8 hours ago
  • Korean Central News Agency
    Korean Central News Agency “On May 17, the North Korean Missile General Bureau conducted a test launch of a tactical ballistic missile equipped with a new navigation system of autonomous guidance. The test launch confirmed the accuracy and reliability of the system. The launch was carried out as part of the regular activities of the North Korean Missile General Bureau and subordinate defense research institutes for the active development of weapons technology.” 8 hours ago
  • Yang Moo-jin
    Yang Moo-jin “It is part of North Korea's propaganda approach to develop a voice in global affairs. Kim's statement comes amid Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping holding talks in Beijing, the West pressuring North Korea and Russia with sanctions and South Korea planning to stage Ulchi Freedom Shiled, a joint annual military drill with the U.S. in August. It may be true that North Korea is honing existing weapons to attack Seoul, but we cannot rule out the possibility of the country pulling weapons from its stocks and shipping them to Russia after further testing and deploying.” 8 hours ago
  • Park Won-gon
    Park Won-gon “Kim's [Kim Yo-jong syster of the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un] statement suggests that North Korea is concerned about international sanctions. I believe sanctions are still an effective tool. North Korea fears that if it admits its arms dealings with Russia, it may turn its European allies into enemies.” 9 hours ago
  • Kim Yo-jong
    Kim Yo-jong “We have no intention to export our military technical capabilities to any country or open them to the public. Our tactical weapons, including multiple rocket launchers and missiles, will be used to prevent Seoul from inventing any idle thinking.” 9 hours ago
  • Frank Kendall
    Frank Kendall “China has fielded a number of space capabilities designed to target our forces. And we're not going to be able operate in the Western Pacific successfully unless we can defeat those. China had tripled its network of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance satellites since 2018.” 9 hours ago
  • Ants Kiviselg
    Ants Kiviselg “The Russian Armed Forces are advancing on the recently opened Kharkiv front, but their pace is slowing down. This and the nature of their behaviour rather indicate a desire to create a buffer zone. Russian troops have attacked and destroyed important bridges in the area of Vovchansk, which creates a natural barrier between Ukrainian and Russian forces. This is more an indication of the intention of Russian forces to build a defensive line than to create a bridgehead for an advance on Kharkiv.” 18 hours ago
  • Vladimir Putin
    Vladimir Putin “Russia is ready and able to continuously power the Chinese economy, businesses, cities and towns with affordable and environmentally clean energy.” 18 hours ago
  • Alexey Muraviev
    Alexey Muraviev “There are limits to the two nations' ties, despite their insistence that it is limitless. The limits are that the two countries don't have a formal alliance agreement. To me, that's very clearly a sign that there are limitations to what seems to be a limitless relationship. Neither side is prepared to unconditionally commit to support each other on issues like Ukraine.” 18 hours ago

“Before February 24 [when the Russian invasion of Ukraine began], there was no indication that the clandestine Russian mission [in Libya] was withdrawing, shrinking, or anything of the sort. It was rather quiet. The Libyans who live near [Russian] bases got used to seeing some Russians at the grocery store. Some camps, bases, and air bases are known to be fully controlled by Russians. In those particular cases, even the LNA [Libyan National Army] itself sometimes needs to get permission before entering the base.”

“He [Saif al-Islam Gaddafi] wants to rule Libyans. And to do that, he needs to activate a loyalist support base to ensure they're ready to fight when the time comes.”

“If you single out the pulling out of foreign forces … from Libya, as the most important, as the top issue, we believe that is wrong. Libya needs support for its political process, the elections, economic issues. A continued Turkish military presence in Libya would help support political stability and security in the energy-rich state. Our military presence there is to help the Libyan army train. We are there as a force of stability and help to the Libyan people. And our priority as far as security is concerned is to help the Libyans establish their united Libyan National Army.”

“Libyans are happy to see that Tripoli is safe enough for senior officials to arrive in their country. There is hope Libya will be recognised around the world as a sovereign and respectable country.”
