Katarína Mathernová: "Ukraine joining the EU by 2030 is realistic... The Russian assets that are paying for Ukrainian Bohdana howitzers..."

Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski: "We should collectively do more to protect Ukrainian nuclear power plants and to protect the NATO border"

Olha Stefanishyna: "Ukraine’s EU accession will also require amendments to the Constitution... The US is preparing an assessment of our work over the past year. I call it a "snapshot of statehood..."

Hanno Pevkur: "We will see negotiations with Russia one day. You need to win good cards for that, and Ukraine is winning trump cards in Kursk."

This is the first interview that Andrii Yermak, Head of the President's Office, has given on foreign policy, and there is no shortage of tough questions to be asked when it comes to international affairs.

David Lammy: "I recognise that there is a very bloody fight for Ukraine's future taking place. It's a fight that sadly will go on for many months ahead."

Ruben Brekelmans: "Ukraine is fighting this battle, is fighting this war, and the methods and the innovations are changing every day. We can also learn from this experience."

Damon Wilson: "Americans increasingly understand that Vladimir Putin is a thug, a bandit, a bully... But this is your country. This is your fight."

"The secret to dealing with a potential Trump presidency is – don't expect anything. [...] I think he would now see that Ukraine failing, losing to Russia, would be just like Afghanistan for him. He doesn't want to be in that position…"

Kajsa Ollongren: "Even if there is one right-wing populist party that is not that enthusiastic, the others will be able to force them to continue to support Ukraine."

David Stulík: "Not striking Russia is like fighting with one hand tied behind your back... Soon we will see a 'black swan' scenario in Russia."

Baiba Braže: "Ukraine can strike not only Ukraine's sovereign territory but also those places from where Russia is attacking, because that's covered by international law."

Bernard-Henri Lévy: "Europeans have a tendency to put everything on Putin's head. I hear all this bullshit. The real dictatorship is never one man imposing his will on passive people."

Espen Barth Eide: "You need air defence to defend yourself, but you're not winning the war with air defence. You're winning the war by something more."

Jim Costa: "Lend-lease has a lot less awareness and support among Congress… The reality of Putin agreeing to leave Crimea would not probably happen initially…"

Boris Johnson: "Everybody thought before that Putin would never let Crimea go. But now, people are saying to themselves: it's possible."

Volker: "Putin killing tens of thousands of Russian soldiers in order to get Avdiivka so that he could claim this as a victory in his effort to show that he’s a great leader for his re-election – these are all signs of weakness."

Vsevolod Chentsov: "We have resources which will strengthen the European Union... The €50 billion aid package will be revised upwards..."
