“I think he's [Vladimir Putin] in a frame of mind in which he doesn't believe he can afford to lose. I think he's convinced right now that doubling down still will enable him to make progress. We don't see, as an intelligence community, practical evidence at this point of Russian planning for the deployment or even potential use of tactical nuclear weapons. Given the kind of sabre-rattling that … we've heard from the Russian leadership, we can't take lightly those possibilities. So we stay very sharply focused as an intelligence service … on those possibilities at a moment when the stakes are very high for Russia.”

“Putin will not admit defeat. The Kremlin will not compromise. Right before May 9 there will be a big moment for Putin to say, mission accomplished, this is my version of history. This is my legacy. It needs to be presented as a mission accomplished. Forget about taking over Kyiv. We've flattened Mariupol, we've liberated more parts of Donbas. Maybe they will announce a republic in Kherson.”

“He [Vladimir Putin] will insist that the US and NATO are willing to risk continued violence and economic downturn around the world just to humiliate Russia and limit its power in the international order. Since it is May 9, they will evoke the Great Patriotic War and portray this moment as another when the Russian people must be steadfast and heroic while under attack. Putin's proven himself quite capable of twisting truths and reorganising the narrative in a way that might seem logically unsound but resonates nonetheless. It's not his first rodeo or Russia's with propaganda.”

“Putin now has routinely rattled the nuclear saber, and he continues to do so, frankly, because I think he knows that...he has reduced his conventional advantage that he actually had prior to the 24th of February, and so this is his assurance. And I think we should expect that, but we shouldn't blink.”

“A common view is that while the war is bad, we must support Russia in this battle to defend China's interests. Because without Russia to hold up the West, China will be the next target. Such a view has not been formed in a day but instilled over time. State media might have fed the information, but the public sentiment has always been there. People worship Putin, because he is aligned with Xi Jinping. They share the same strongman image and governance style.”

“The war against Ukraine is resulting in decoupling of the Russian economy from the global economy. We don't know when and how this process will stop. If Putin were to remain in power for another five years, even if he managed to strike some kind of a peace deal, the Russian economy would look like a mixture of the Soviet economy of 1985 and the North Korean economy of today. The economic legacy of Putin will be … a disaster.”

“You may remember I got criticised for calling Putin a war criminal. Well, the truth of the matter, we saw it happen in Bucha … he is a war criminal. We have to gather the information. We have to continue to provide Ukraine with the weapons they need to continue to fight, and we have to get all the details so this could be … a war crimes trial. This guy is brutal and what's happening in Bucha is outrageous and everyone's seen it.”

“Russia did not win the two Chechen wars. Russia was defeated. [There was] an unofficial understanding that Russia is going to finance Chechnya … and is going to leave Chechnya to manage its own affairs in exchange for peace. The role of Kadyrov since he became president has been to show loyalty to Putin … and to serve as a boogeyman, a constant threat to Putin's enemies.”

“Putin should take note. We will not rest until he fails in Ukraine and the country's sovereignty is restored. Putin must lose, because the consequences if he doesn't are huge. So we will keep strengthening our response, replacing doubt with determination, and complacency with conviction. We must never let our guard down again. We will be tough - not because we want conflict, but because we want to prevent it. Be tough, get peace.”

“Today's sanctions show once again that oligarchs and kleptocrats have no place in our economy or society. With their close links to Putin they are complicit in his aggression. The blood of the Ukrainian people is on their hands. They should hang their heads in shame.”

“While the partnership between Russia and China has strengthened since 2019, [Chinese] President Xi Jinping and the Chinese leadership are a little bit unsettled by what they're seeing in Ukraine. China did not anticipate the difficulties that the Russians were going to run into in Ukraine, and is concerned by the reputational damage coming from its close association with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Beijing is also worried about the conflict's effects on the global economy, coming at a time when China's annual growth has slowed, as well as the way it has driven Europeans and Americans closer together. Despite these concerns, I would not underestimate President Xi and the Chinese leadership's determination with regard to Taiwan, although the conflict might change the Chinese calculus on the issue.”

“In another economic blow to the Putin regime following their illegal invasion of Ukraine, the UK will move away from dependence on Russian oil throughout this year, building on our severe package of international economic sanctions. Working with industry, we are confident that this can be achieved over the course of the year, providing enough time for companies to adjust and ensuring consumers are protected.”

“He [Vladimir Putin] is now engaged in a conflict where he's either going to have a costly military victory, followed by a costly occupation that he can't afford, or he's going to get caught in a long-term military quagmire at the same time as he's facing a second front, which is an economy in freefall in his own country. So, the combination of these two things, I think, puts us in a very dangerous place.”

“He tried to conduct a short operation in the hope that the Ukrainian side would collapse - from the top leadership to privates on the battlefield. It's possible that the madman was seriously counting on holding the psychological and moral advantage. Putin refused to understand that this entire 'advantage' was dreamed up by his own television channels. For many years, his television and press have had one customer and one real viewer - himself. He has been poisoned by his own lies.”
