“They [terrorists] could not enter Belarus in any way. They understood that. And so they turned around and went to the section of the Ukrainian-Russian border. As soon as the heads of state received information from special services that the car transporting the terrorists was moving towards Bryansk, an agreement was reached that Belarus would block its section of the alleged criminal movement, while Russia would block its own.”

“It seems kind of unbelievable that Russian security services missed this. Clearly, it was an intelligence failure for this to happen in such a prominent venue right on the beltway of Moscow, and to have such a serious death toll despite those small number of terrorists that appear to have actually perpetrated the act. The Russians may choose to link this [terrorist attack] to their war against the collective West and hold the U.S. and its Ukrainian proxies - as they might call them - ultimately responsible. I wouldn't be at all surprised. If they decide to emphasize the U.S. and Ukraine link, then I think we can anticipate very harsh measures at home in the wake of this intelligence failure.”

“They tried to hide and moved towards Ukraine, where, according to preliminary data, a window was prepared for them on the Ukrainian side to cross the state border. All the perpetrators, organisers and those who ordered this crime will be justly and inevitably punished. Whoever they are, whoever is guiding them. We will identify and punish everyone who stands behind the terrorists, who prepared this atrocity, this strike against Russia, against our people.”

“Kosovo and some other parts of the Western Balkans are becoming a hotbed of crime. There are terrorists, drug dealers. Mercenaries are recruited there for military conflicts ignited by the US, among others. There is information that militants from Kosovo, Albania, and Bosnia and Herzegovina are being recruited to knock Russia off balance, which includes sending them to Donbass [in eastern Ukraine].”

“[CSTO] had managed to prevent the undermining of the foundations of the state, the complete degradation of the internal situation in Kazakhstan, and block terrorists, criminals, looters and other criminal elements. Of course, we understand the events in Kazakhstan are not the first and far from the last attempt to interfere in the internal affairs of our states from the outside. The measures taken by the CSTO have clearly shown we will not allow the situation to be rocked at home.”

“One can sort of understand that he wanted to free up his own security forces to put down what he says are essentially terrorist attacks and an attempted coup - which is fairly ridiculous as there are definitely two different groups, most of whom are peaceful protesters in Kazakhstan. But the interesting thing about this is the Collective Security Treaty Organisation that Russia leads has never actually deployed troops in any of its member states when there's been unrest. Its charter states it is not supposed to interfere unless these member states face an external threat - which Tokayev provided by calling these terrorists 'international terrorists' and suggesting that they were trained outside the country.”

“NATO went into Afghanistan to prevent terrorists from using the country again to attack us. Despite that we must recognize that, over the years, the international community set a level of ambition that went well beyond the original aim of fighting terrorism.”

“We face serious tasks in the Afghan direction, especially after the Americans have pulled out from that country. The developments in Afghanistan prompt the need for additional measures to ensure Russia's security on the southern frontiers and provide assistance to Central Asian states as our allies, which perceive Russia as a guarantor of stability in the region. It is necessary to continue working in this mode, taking measures to prevent uncontrolled flows of refugees and prevent the infiltration of terrorists and other criminal elements through our border.”

“In 2015, it was the first time the refugee policy was discussed at a national level in Poland. Right-wing groups began fuelling an anti-immigrant sentiment by referring to migrants as terrorists who would destabilise Poland and the EU. But people who are afraid of refugees often don't know anything about them. A lot of people living in this border zone are old and lived through the Second World War. They know what it's like to be a refugee. They initially kept their doors open to help those stranded in the forest, but Polish border guards have ordered them not to do so.”

“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].”

“Both countries [the US and Russia] have said these terrorists will be taken 30km down [from the border] … promises have not been kept … both the US and Russia have responsibility for the recent attacks, because they did not keep their promises, and these terrorists are still there. We need to sort this out ourselves. We will cleanse this region of terrorists, we will do whatever is necessary for our security.”

“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.”

“If they do not have an inclusive government, and gradually it descends into a civil war, which if they do not include all the factions sooner or later [will happen], that too will impact Pakistan. It will mean an unstable, a chaotic Afghanistan. [That is an] ideal place for terrorists, because if there is no control or if there is fighting going on. And that is our worry. So terrorism from Afghan soil, and secondly if there is a humanitarian crisis or a civil war, a refugee issue for us.”

“A future Afghan government that upholds the basic rights of its people, that doesn't harbour terrorists, and that protects the basic rights of its people, including the basic, fundamental rights of half of its population - its women and girls - that is a government that we would be able to work with. The converse is also true - that we are not going to support a government that does not do that.”
