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."

"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."

Petras Auštrevičius: "Punishment for Hungary is already happening. But Brussels cannot tell the Hungarians, 'Don't vote for Orbán...'"

Martin Jäger: "It is obvious to us that Ukraine's future lies in the EU and in NATO... But readiness for accession is indeed a complex challenge."

"Right now, Putin sees that we are not committed to Ukraine winning. So he just has to hang on."

Katarína Mathernová: "Ukraine's image as a corrupt state was largely created by Russian propaganda. This is changing."

Benjamin Haddad: "In France, public opinion tends to be much less cynical and much less afraid of Russia than our elites sometimes are."
