  • 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.” 1 hour 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.” 1 hour 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.” 9 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.” 14 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.” 14 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.” 14 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.” 15 hours ago

“Following the orders of their military leadership, they are trying to displace our troops and advance deep into the territory we control. Were it not for the resilience of our soldiers, these tens of thousands of enemies from the best Russian units would have stormed our positions.”

“Some elements of Russian units had managed to advance relatively far into the Ukrainian rear, which caused issues and losses for Ukraine. The Russian counterattacks are constantly reducing the political significance of the Ukrainian-controlled area in Kursk. If the current trend continues, the Ukrainians may need to reconsider their presence in the area and the future of the whole operation. It's clear that the Ukrainian lines don't seem to hold very well. Ukraine's army does not appear yet to have built any large-scale fortifications in the area, complicating its defense. The western flank currently under Russian attack consists of relatively open terrain, with few urban centers that the Ukrainians can use to entrench themselves in.”

“Ukraine can't exploit the high levels of attrition that Russian units suffer. Russian forces lost at least three mechanized divisions of manpower and equipment in the campaign for Avdiivka, and Ukraine was unable to counterattack around Avdiivka and exploit the conditions of Russian exhaustion. Ukraine has no choice but to dig in and try to anticipate to the best of its ability where, when, and at what intensity Russian forces will attack next.”

“In a personalist dictatorship such as Putin's, no one has any incentive to contradict the leader because their own political and often personal survival depends on his whims. If it is known that the leader favours an attack, who wants to be the one who contradicts him? In this regard, the Russian regime is similar to Saddam Hussein's in Iraq. Fed bad information by his underlings only increases the leader's confidence that he will prevail, thus making it even more likely he will attack. The Russian offensive appears to be stalled. There are many reports of supply and morale problems in Russian units. Because they are largely unable to advance - with a few exceptions, mainly in the south - they have fallen back on siege warfare and indiscriminate attacks on civilians. Historically, it is common for attackers, when unable to win a quick and decisive victory on the battlefield, to become frustrated or desperate and turn their guns on civilians to weaken morale and compel their opponent to surrender through a punishment strategy. Punishing civilians, however, rarely succeeds.”
