  • Volodymyr Zelenskiy
    Volodymyr Zelenskiy “It is important that partners support our soldiers and Ukrainian stability with timely supplies. Really timely. The package that really helps is the weapons brought to Ukraine, not just the ones announced.” 9 hours ago
  • Oleh Syniehubov
    Oleh Syniehubov “We clearly understand what forces the enemy is using in the north of our territory. Certainly, the escalation can grow, the pressure can increase, it can strengthen its military units, its military presence. As of now the enemy keeps pressing in the north of our region. Our forces have repelled nine attacks.” 9 hours ago
  • Anatoly Antonov
    Anatoly Antonov “The yet another arms shipment to the Zelensky regime is a reaction to the success of the Russian Armed Forces at the frontline. Our soldiers and officers continue to liberate the Russian land by their heroic efforts. America acknowledges this fact.” 17 hours ago
  • Louise Wateridge
    Louise Wateridge “Everywhere you look now in west Rafah this morning, families are packing up. Streets are significantly emptier. UNRWA estimates 150,000 people have now fled Rafah. New areas have been issued evacuation orders towards central Rafah in south Gaza and Jabalia in North Gaza.” 20 hours ago
  • Donald Tusk
    Donald Tusk “The Polish-Belarusian border is a unique place due to the pressure of illegal immigration. In fact, we are dealing with a progressing hybrid war. I want there to be no doubts here - a country with increasingly aggressive intentions towards Poland, such as Belarus, is co-organising this practice on the Polish border. It is not only Poland's internal border, but also the EU border. Therefore, I have no doubt that all of Europe will have to ... invest in its security by investing in Poland's eastern border and in the security of our border.” 20 hours ago
  • Jakub Palowski
    Jakub Palowski “A direct attack on Kharkiv is quite unlikely because it is a big city. Ukraine currently has a mobilised army and, in the absence of a surprise, the defence of such a city would be quite effective. It is hard to tell what Russia wants to achieve in the Kharkiv region. It might be the opening of a new full-scale front, similar to the Donbas region; actions that would aim at capturing a limited area and accumulating Ukrainian troops in one place, so that they cannot be used elsewhere; or creating conditions for further offensives.” 20 hours ago
  • Yevgen Shapoval
    Yevgen Shapoval “Some people are panicking, but not like the occupiers would like them to. Yes, explosions are heard close up and the situation is not easy. It is difficult especially psychologically. We must be consistent and believe in Ukraine's defence forces. So even if they try to do something, to attack, they will get the response they deserve. Yes - some local tactical movements and even some larger-scale offensive operations are possible. But as for Kharkiv, I don't believe it can be captured.” 20 hours ago
  • Georgios Petropoulos
    Georgios Petropoulos “We simply have no tents, we have no blankets, no bedding, none of the items that you would expect a population on the move to be able to get from the humanitarian system.” 21 hours ago

“A new administration is in power now. We note their efforts to stabilise the military and political situation and set up work of the state apparatus. Official recognition of the Taliban is not under discussion for now. Like most of other influential countries in the region, we are in contact with them. We are prodding them to fulfil the promises they made when they came to power.”

“The Taliban's invitation by Moscow, and the organization of a summit there ... will have a very big influence on the situation at the international level, and it may even drag Afghanistan out of isolation because Russia is a powerful country in the world and is one of the opponent countries of NATO and West.”

“The situation in Afghanistan is awkward for China. You have a Taliban regime that has ties to terrorists, including Uyghur [extremist] groups, but Beijing is exploring how much it can work together [with it].”

“This [attack] is going to put more pressure on the Taliban; people will now be angry. When the Taliban took power in August, they prided themselves on providing a safe environment for the Afghan people. Now, this isn't the case any more because you're seeing the pattern of those attacks. [Friday's attack by ISIS-K] could be a clear indication that they are sending a message to the international community that they are far from defeated, that they are willing to further expand their footprint across Afghanistan and we are likely to see major confrontation in the future between [ISIS-K] and the Taliban.”

“The Taliban themselves said that they have launched operations against Daesh in Kabul and other places. It means (Daesh) exists but it doesn't exist like before when it controlled some areas in Nangarhar. Its strategy has changed, which means they now pay attention to the cities.”

“Daesh doesn't have international and regional support, and without support Daesh will not be able to fight for a long time. However, fighting with Daesh will create problems for the Taliban.”

“I think this is what the international community is doing, it's using this fact of international recognition of the Taliban as the legal official governing body of this country, to try and put pressure on the group to adhere to certain norms that they'd like to see. We are in a time when the Taliban is seeking this international legitimacy, they need the millions … of dollars in funds to help get this country forward. What you're seeing is a political dance. I don't think it means they are any close to officially recognising them as the government, but a dialogue is in place.”

“Taliban authorities in Afghanistan have imposed wide-ranging restrictions on media and free speech that are already stifling criticism and dissent. Despite the Taliban's promises to allow media that 'respected Islamic values' to function, the new rules are suffocating media freedom in the country. The Taliban regulations are so sweeping that journalists are self-censoring and fear ending up in prison.”

“The recent actions that we have seen unfortunately in Afghanistan, it has been very disappointing to see some steps being taken backwards. We need to keep engaging them and urging them not to take such actions, and we have also been trying to demonstrate for the Taliban how Muslim countries can conduct their laws, how they can deal with the women's issues. One of the examples is the State of Qatar, which is a Muslim country; our system is an Islamic system [but] we have women outnumbering men in workforces, in government and in higher education.”

“It is clear and obvious that the war in Afghanistan did not end on the terms we wanted with the Taliban now in power in Kabul. My analysis was that an accelerated withdrawal, without meeting specific and necessary conditions, risks losing the substantial gains made in Afghanistan, damaging US worldwide credibility and could precipitate a general collapse of the NSF and the Afghan government, resulting in a complete Taliban takeover, or general civil war.”

“Turkey's approach toward women's is quite well-known: women are present in every aspect of life. Our views would apply to Afghanistan as well. Whenever women become more involved, more active in every aspect of life, we can support them if they would need us in healthcare, security and other walks of life. Turkey will not work with the Taliban unless they are recognized by the international community. If they will be accepted and recognized we can do business, but if not, we won't do business with them.”

“Recognition of the Taliban government is impossible since there are 17 terrorists among the ministers, and the human rights of women and girls are continuously violated. Clearly, we must prevent Afghanistan from implosion and from an uncontrolled flow of migration that could destabilise neighbouring countries. There are ways to guarantee financial support without giving money to the Taliban. We have also agreed that a part of humanitarian aid must always go to the protection of women and girls.”

“Looking at the Taliban's approach right now, unfortunately an inclusive, encompassing leadership has not been formed. At the moment, there are only some signals [about] the possibility of some changes, that there may be a more inclusive atmosphere in the leadership. We have not seen this yet. If such a step can be taken, then we may move on to the point of discussing what we can do together.”

“If they live up to those expectations, they would make it easier for themselves, they will get acceptability, which is required for recognition. At the same time, the international community has to realise: What is the alternative? What are the options? This is the reality, and can they turn away from this reality? Pakistan is in sync with the international community in wanting to see a peaceful, stable Afghanistan with no space for terrorist elements to increase their foothold, and for the Taliban to ensure that Afghan soil is never used again against any country. But we are saying, be more realistic in your approach. Try an innovative way of engaging with them. The way that they were being dealt with has not worked.”

“The name change would prompt Beijing to hit back against Washington by refusing to cooperate on issues such as climate change and the Taliban in Afghanistan. China is not going to bear with it… and would even do whatever it could to up its ante in the East and South China [seas].”

“After meetings in Dushanbe with leaders of Afghanistan's neighbors and especially a lengthy discussion with Tajikistan's President Emomali Rahmon, I have initiated a dialogue with the Taliban for an inclusive Afghan govt to include Tajiks, Hazaras and Uzbeks.”

“The current developments and the high risks of a catastrophic scenario confirm the necessity of helping countries bordering Afghanistan. The entire burden of negative impacts following the withdrawal of the international coalition from Afghanistan will be placed on Afghanistan's neighboring countries. Contrary to their statements, the Taliban are following the path of creating an Islamic emirate with rules that are foreign to the modern era and the government they formed consists of their members only.”
