“Whether it's munitions, whether it's vehicles, whether it's platforms, I'll just tell you that Ukraine right now is facing some dire battlefield conditions. We're already seeing things on the battlefield begin to shift a bit in Russia's favour. We are seeing them make incremental gains. We're seeing the Ukrainians be challenged in terms of holding the line.”

“It is absolutely essential to get Ukrainians what they continue to need to defend themselves, particularly when it comes to munitions and air defences. It's another reason why the supplementary budget request that President [Joe] Biden has made to [the US] Congress must be fulfilled as quickly as possible.”

“We choked the weapons supply, we failed to provide enough air defence, and now we ask Ukrainians to sit on their hands while cruise missiles land on their families. Such mistakes are setting the course of the entire century. And there is no justification for any of this.”

“The Ukrainians are not running out of courage, they are running out of ammunition. NATO allies are not providing Ukraine with enough ammunition and that has consequences on the battlefield every day. It is one of the reasons why the Russians have been able to make some advance on the battlefield over the last weeks and months. It is an urgent need for allies to make the decisions necessary to step and provide more ammunition to Ukraine. That's my message to all capitals. We have the capacity, the economies, to be able to provide Ukraine what they need. This is a question of political will. To take the decisions and to prioritise support for Ukraine.”

“The winter is just going to reinforce the misery … neither side is going to have a tactical or operational breakthrough. I think they're going to try to push through in the winter. The ground freezes, [they'll] try to make some moves because they're desperate. I don't mean the Ukrainians. I mean the Russians. The soldiers won't want to do it. It will be a disaster. There will be more dead bodies.”

“The Ukrainians are gradually gaining ground...They have been able to breach the defensive lines of the Russian forces, and they are moving forward. No one ever said that this was going to be easy. Hardly any time in history we have seen more mines on the battlefield than we are seeing in Ukraine today. So it was obvious that this was going to be extremely difficult. They are making progress. Not perhaps as much as we hoped for but they are gaining ground gradually. Some hundred meters per day, meaning that when the Ukrainians are gaining ground, the Russians are losing ground.”

“The Wagner Group has its own tanks, artillery and drones, while maintaining an independent command and control system. In effect, it functions as a combined arms force. This victory is definitely credited to the Wagner Group, which is bound to affect relations with the Russian army. The battle of Bakhmut is the key to both sides' future plans in Donbas. If the Russians manage to occupy the town, they will try to regain some of the territory lost since September. If the Ukrainians defend the town successfully, they can ask for more western support for their spring counterattack in the region. At present, the Ukrainian army does not seem to have either the reserves or the equipment to push deeper into Donbas.”

“Even if both Bakhmut and Soledar fall to the Russians, it's not going to have a strategic impact on the war itself and it certainly isn't going to stop the Ukrainians or slow them down.”

“In recent days, France has sent Ukraine more arms, rocket launchers, Crotale (air defence batteries), equipment beyond what we had already done. We are also working with the armed forces minister [Sebastien Lecornu] to be able to deliver useful arms and ammunition again in the first quarter [of 2023] so that the Ukrainians would be able to defend themselves against bombardments.”

“We're seeing a kind of a reduced tempo already of the conflict … and we expect that's likely to be what we see in the coming months. The Ukrainian and Russian militaries will attempt to refit and resupply to prepare for counteroffensives after the winter. We actually have a fair amount of scepticism as to whether or not the Russians will be in fact prepared to do that. I think more optimistically for the Ukrainians in that timeframe. Putin is beginning to realise the challenges his military is faced with. I do think he is becoming more informed of the challenges that the military faces in Russia. But it's still not clear to us that he has a full picture at this stage of just how challenged they are … we see shortages of ammunition, for morale, supply issues, logistics, a whole series of concerns that they're facing.”

“As far as [the Ukrainians] are concerned, this [the deal] is one and done for the time being. They see this as a deal that they have signed with the United Nations and with Turkey and certainly not with Russia. The Ukrainians here are very clear that they see the Russians as an aggressor nation and we know that they're approaching the International Criminal Court to set up a whole new investigation with the intention of charging senior Russian leadership with the crime of being an aggressor nation.”

“We're getting a little bogged down in all of the details and we're forgetting the big picture. It's only money, the Ukrainians are paying with their lives. We can and we must support them, if only out of self interest because only when Russia is defeated can we in Europe feel safe.”

“They're trying to cut in and behind the Russians to cut off the supply lines, because that's really one of their (the Russians') main weaknesses. Ukrainians are getting close to the Russian border. So all the gains that the Russians made in the early days in the northeast of Ukraine are increasingly slipping away.”

“There are some suggestions that what [Putin] is trying to do now is take out as much infrastructure and civil society as [possible] and that he has this view that if [he] can't have Ukraine, then Ukrainians can't have it either. That's [the only explanation] that adds up because otherwise the way this war is being conducted is grotesquely at odds with what the [Kremlin] says its objectives are.”

“For any conditions made by [Ukraine President Volodymyr] Zelenskyy to be realistic, they will need to have the buy-in of Ukrainians who have lived in the shadow of an increasingly aggressive neighbour for a long time and have now seen their worst fears come to fruition. A neutral Ukraine would no longer be a NATO partner, although other neutral states, notably Finland and Sweden, are NATO partners. Such a pathway to NATO membership, however unlikely it is to be fulfilled, will be a red line for Putin who views Ukraine differently. For Putin, Ukraine is part of an imagined 'Russian World' or community built on the markers of the Russian language, culture and a 'common glorious past' in a way Finland and Sweden are not, and this has been a driving motivation behind the decision to invade Ukraine. A neutral Ukraine would need to seek security ties outside of NATO to prevent a recurrence of an invasion, given Russia is the aggressor this would need to come from them, but Ukraine would likely look to other members of the UN Security Council [China, France, UK, US] to help uphold this.”

“Our goal is to be with all Europeans and, most importantly, to be equal. I'm sure that's fair. I am sure we deserve it. Europeans are witnessing how our soldiers are fighting not only for our country, but for all of Europe, for peace, for peace for all, for all the countries of the European Union. Ukrainians have shown to the world who we are, while Russia has showed what it has turned into.... Every crime, every shelling by the occupier only unites us more.”
