“There had been fewer attacks along the front line than usual over the past 24 hours. This could be linked to the visit to Moscow by the Chinese leader. Why? Because Putin is hardly likely to put aggression on display on the front lines, particularly as China has spoken in favour of a ceasefire and of an end to the war. So this is likely to continue throughout his two-day visit.”

“There are many who welcomed the announcement but there are others who raised questions whether this would be a problem for diplomacy going forward. Now you have the head of state of Russia, a permanent member of the UN Security Council, who is now a wanted man by the ICC. This is going to be a headache for some of those who are going to have to deal with President Putin. How are other countries going to deal with him? Will President Putin be able to travel? Will the UN meet a man who is now wanted with an arrest warrant for him to be sent to The Hague?”

“According to the ICC [International Criminal Court] statute, which has 123 state parties, two-thirds of the whole international community, the court has jurisdiction over crimes committed in the territory of a state party or a state which has accepted its jurisdiction. Ukraine has accepted the ICC twice - in 2014 and then in 2015. The court has jurisdiction over crimes committed on anyone on the territory of Ukraine from November 2013 onwards regardless of nationality of the alleged perpetrators.”

“This policy is definitely sustainable. While the assistance seems significant in terms of the dollar amount when put in the context of the entire US government budget, the numbers are not overly large pieces of the whole pie. The amounts of money we're talking about are, I think, a pretty small price to pay if you look at what the alternative is - what it would mean for Vladimir Putin to succeed, for not just the United States and its place in the world but in fact for the entire global commons.”

“One of the assessments is that Putin acted very impulsively because of his imperial ambitions, and he has his own worldview. Xi, I think, he's much more pragmatic. He's very cautious. I don't think he's hot-headed enough and he's not a risk taker, and an invasion against Taiwan is one of the biggest acts that he would do. It's a very high-wire act and the chances of success are not clear.”

“They now want to use Christmas as a cover, albeit briefly, to stop the advances of our boys in Donbas and bring equipment, ammunition and mobilised troops closer to our positions. What will that give them? Only yet another increase in their total losses. The whole world knows how the Kremlin uses interruptions in the war to continue the war with new strength.”

“We have seen that negotiations and peace agreements with Russia simply do not work. Russia has no need for them. If Russia feels it is losing Ukraine and that the regime of [Russian President Vladimir] Putin is losing the confidence of global public opinion and of Russian public opinion, then I think they will sit down at the negotiating table. But at the same time, if an agreement is signed that is a half measure and does not include some sort of strict control over its implementation, then I no longer have any illusions the Russian Federation would abide by it.”

“The way that Putin speaks about Ukraine, it is clear that for him this is an existential problem. For him, if Russia doesn't win in Ukraine, there won't be a Russia. Russia is demonstrating that it is ready to use any means at its disposal to achieve its strategic goals. Including nuclear weapons.”

“We're coming to a point right now where I think Putin is going to have to revise what his objectives are for this operation. It's pretty clear right now that he's … not going to be able to do what he initially intended to do. The Russians planned for an occupation, not necessarily an invasion, and that has set them back. He's [Vladimir Putin] coming to a decision point. What that decision will be we don't know. But that will largely drive how long this conflict lasts.”

“They cheer-lead on behalf of each other, offering moral and political support to their partner when their interests align. But China and Russia are strategically autonomous actors, whose influence on each other's behaviour is limited and indirect at best. And rather than being propelled into a new orbit of cooperation, the long-term outlook for the Russia-China relationship is not promising. The Xi and Putin relationship is primarily based on the self-interests of two strategically autonomous powers and a fundamental difference is that China is invested in global order. China wishes to play a more dominant role, but it does not wish to demolish that order. Putin, however, is focused on disruptive power and a complete overthrow of the international system. That is why Putin has resorted so readily to military force - in Georgia, Syria, Ukraine and, more covertly, in Iraq, Libya, Mali and the Central African Republic. Russia, but not China, has invested in the value of waging war. He [Putin] and those around him identify Russia's ability and will to wage war as a comparative advantage that few others, apart from the United States, possess.”

“I don't think that the Russian explanation on this particular issue [Vladimir Putin claiming that almost all the Ukrainian grain shipped under a UN-backed deal to ease a global food crisis is reaching rich European nations] reflects the reality on the ground. I think the Russians are feeling a growing exposure to Ukrainian attacks in recent days, and also the Europeans are increasing pressure on Russia, so I think the Russian leadership might have decided to find a way to inflict damage [given] this growing assault. We should see [this] as part of a larger geopolitical game. It's part of a tit for tat [situation]. I find the idea that the Ukrainian ships are targeting nations other than the ones in the Global South somehow fabricated.”

“We can't determine our own politics - if we had a real federation, the head of our republic could say no, Buryats won't fight in this criminal war. But he keeps providing cannon fodder for Putin. Buryatia, like the other ethnic republics, is governed by the colonial policies of Moscow. Our languages and history are disappearing off the face of the Earth, while Moscow sucks all the money and resources out of the provinces. Moscow is a beautiful city but it's such a facade of all of Russia, because if you go just a little further, the houses are falling apart, there are no roads, there's no work. Contractors [soldiers] and their families are always writing to us, saying that they don't want to fight, but there are many obstacles along the way. Some of them are being held back on occupied territories [of Ukraine], and they're pressured, threatened, afraid they'll be sent to the front line to be killed. When they submit their refusal, they're asked 'Who will defend the motherland?' They reply if someone attacks their motherland they'll defend it, but they see no motherland in Ukraine. We know we can't influence Vladimir Putin directly, but the less cannon fodder he has at his disposal, the sooner this war will end.”
