  • Mahmoud Abbas
    Mahmoud Abbas “We stand ready to work with you [Donald Trump] to achieve peace during you tenure. This would be guided by the two-state solution on international legitimacy. This vision seeks the establishment of the State of Palestine and the State of Israel living side by side in peace and security.” 39 minutes ago
  • Craig Kennedy
    Craig Kennedy “Moscow now faces a dilemma: the longer it puts off a ceasefire, the greater the risk that credit events - such as corporate and bank bailouts - uncontrollably arise and weaken Moscow's negotiating leverage.” 50 minutes ago
  • Recep Tayyip Erdogan
    Recep Tayyip Erdogan “As regards the issue of natural gas, Slovakia was disconnected from gas with termination of transit via Ukraine. We discussed this matter, we have the TurkStream gas pipeline. Let's make a step and discuss this topic at the level of energy ministers. The demand of Slovakia for natural gas should be satisfied. I suggested solving this issue through talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Mr. Putin. I hope we will be able to have communications, to start telephone diplomacy as early as this week.” 1 hour ago
  • Emmanuel Macron
    Emmanuel Macron “The challenge after the fighting ends will be to provide Ukraine with guarantees against any return to war on its territory and guarantees for our own security.” 1 hour ago
  • Yara Hawari
    Yara Hawari “While the Gaza ceasefire is a positive step the danger to the occupied West Bank from an Israeli invasion continues to rise. It's brought about a huge amount of relief that the bombardment will stop, but I think crucially the ceasefire does not mean an end to the occupation neither in Gaza or the West Bank. So people are under no illusion that this means an end to Israeli control over their lives. I think people are pessimistic as to whether the ceasefire will actually hold because they know the Israeli regime is already trying to sabotage it. The situation in the occupied West Bank remains as precarious as ever. We saw a year of genocide in Gaza go unchecked so the big question is could they do the same in the West Bank? I'm afraid without accountability measures the answer is yes.” 5 hours ago
  • Joe Biden
    Joe Biden “These are exceptional circumstances, and I cannot in good conscience do nothing. Baseless and politically motivated investigations wreak havoc on the lives, safety and financial security of targeted individuals and their families. The issuance of these pardons should not be mistaken as an acknowledgment that any individual engaged in any wrongdoing, nor should acceptance be misconstrued as an admission of guilt for any offense. Our nation owes these public servants a debt of gratitude for their tireless commitment to our country.” 6 hours ago
  • Ali Jarbawi
    Ali Jarbawi “Hamas's parades through Gaza on Sunday are more than a message to the international community that it is in control. They also reflect the reality on the ground. Hamas was there before the war and they're there now.” 16 hours ago
  • Ibrahim Madhoun
    Ibrahim Madhoun “The message is that Hamas is 'the day after' for the war. They're conveying that Hamas must be a part of any future arrangements, or at least, be coordinated with.” 16 hours ago

The IPSEs are presented in chronological order based on when the IPSEs have been pronounced.

“He [Zelenskyy] goes around Europe, just begging and blackmailing others, asking for money. It just has to stop. Russia has never deceived us, unlike Ukraine. I remember the situation in 2009 when I was in Ukraine and asked Ukrainian Prime Minister Tymoshenko to give us some gas from the reservoirs in the western part of Ukraine, and I was told to go to hell. These are typical Ukrainians.”

“Putin wants to seize, at the very least, the territory he already controls, and also has demands over Ukrainian neutrality and disarmament that would be impossible for any Ukrainian leader to sell politically. Zelenskyy, meanwhile, has admitted that painful compromises may be necessary, but insisted that, in return, he would need some form of meaningful security guarantee against subsequent Russian escalation, such as a promise of Nato membership or western peacekeepers on the ground. Neither option currently looks likely.”

“We proposed a Christmas ceasefire and a large-scale prisoner exchange. It's sad that President Zelenskyy clearly rejected and ruled this out today. We did what we could!”

“While conclusions about the influence of individual members of Trump's team are purely speculative, there are signs that Zelenskyy has given up on his principal position about the return of all occupied areas, including the Crimean peninsula that Moscow annexed in 2014. Before Trump's election, Kyiv insisted that it would not recognise the occupied territories as part of Russia. There is also a Putin factor. The Russian leader's conduct could run contrary to the expectations of Trump's team and cause an upset, before they are in conflict with Zelenskyy and Ukraine's Western supporters.”

“The dialogue between President Zelenskyy and President-elect Trump has already been established. And the promptness of the phone conversation is evidence of the existing direct dialogue between the heads of states. Naturally, possible future contacts at the level of leaders have been discussed. The parties agreed that the teams would begin practical preparatory work to organise a meeting.”

“We have to take Trump at face value. He assumes that he can strike a deal pretty quickly [and] that he would likely block any further assistance to Ukraine. For example, there is the possibility that Trump could reach a deal with Putin that excludes Zelenskyy's input - and could potentially concede quite a lot in terms of Ukraine and its territory. There's also a question of what kind of relationship he would have with Putin and with Russia, and whether that would embolden Russia more generally in the European context - and I think that's a real concern for a lot of people.”

“These statements about the North Korean soldiers in our front should not surprise no one, because they're all barefaced lies and they are trying to distract. Even if everything that is being said about the cooperation between Russia and North Korea by our Western colleagues is true, why is it that the United States and allies are trying to impose on everyone the flawed logic that they have the right to help the [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelenskyy regime mobilise the military and intelligence of NATO, and Russia and its allies have no right to do a similar thing?”

“The government of Ukraine fully, and I would like to emphasise it, fully depends on the presidential administration, before the reshuffling and after. The reshuffling had to do with Zelenskyy's penchant for motivating the reshuffling of officials of all levels. He thinks that it contributes to more active, more motivated work of ministers. That's his conviction.”

“Zelenskyy says new energy is needed, but have you noticed that in this 'great re-introduced order' there is still no new person in sight? All the changes are just a rotation among people who are already in the government.”

“Zelenskyy's ruling style is to reshuffle the government from time to time, to make them more energetic and effective. Just see what happened with young reformer [Oleksandr] Kamyshin, who took over the strategic industries ministry from an ineffective former minister and in only a year managed to triple domestic weapons production. Now he's Zelenskyy's darling, so he took him closer.”

“Zelenskyy said… that they will need this for future exchanges. That's why they are taking prisoners and want to seize square kilometers. It's so simple-minded and naive. We do not discuss our territory with anyone. We do not negotiate about our territory.”

“NATO has committed to most of what Zelenskyy has been asking for, noting that in addition to the F-16s, the alliance has promised to provide Ukraine with dozens of air defence systems. In particular, the US has agreed to provide Ukraine with four Patriot missile systems, while other members are providing the upkeep and maintenance of these systems. So the Ukrainian president has been given most of what he's been asking for - apart from one very vital thing and that is membership of NATO.”

“Few question his ongoing legitimacy and he [Zelenskyy] remains popular. Although lower than before, his approval rating's still above 60 percent. Many Ukrainians also feel an election would be unrealistic and disrupt the war effort. In a poll this March [2024], 78 percent of those asked said they were against elections before the end of the war. But in addition to that there's also the practical difficulties. Some Ukrainian towns are in ruins. Many power plants have been hit so there's rolling blackouts. And perhaps most importantly, there's 8 million people displaced, 5 million outside the country.”

“Zelenskyy himself said that Russia has won the winter, and I think the momentum has shifted to the Russian forces on the ground at least. Adviivka is proof of that. The big question now is whether there is something brewing in probably the month of May once the mud starts to dry in that area of Ukraine. So we will have to wait and see. The Russians will be doing their absolute best to camouflage any kind of troop build-up if a spring offensive is on the cards.”

“Putin is banking on the US and the West losing interest in Ukraine due to fatigue and growing political opposition. The best strategy the Russians can pursue is to hope that Ukraine's Western allies will eventually give up. It's vital for Zelenskyy to keep that support and he triumphed.”

“Even if there is a breakthrough and some form of an agreement is signed, its implementation is not guaranteed. I don't see how Russia would agree to withdraw its army until all conditions are met. [It is also questionable] how quickly Zelenskyy would be able to fulfil them, to what extent the Ukrainian elite would be ready to accept them, and the society as well, which now believes is winning the war.”

“President Putin thinks the positions on the Donbas and Crimea are not close enough to meet President Zelenskyy. What we need is a strategic-level meeting between the two leaders. There seems to be growing consensus … We are hoping there will be more convergence on these issues, and this meeting will take place sooner than later, because we all want this war to come to an end.”

“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.”

“It has been in the air for days now that the possibility is there - that the Russian forces that have been extending their gains north of Crimea, through Kherson and onwards through the town of Mykolaiv, may well try to double back on Odesa and join up with a naval landing from elements of the Black Sea fleet that have been hovering on the horizon there for several days. That's been talked about - whether Zelenskyy is referring to specific intelligence or not it's not clear.”
