Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik to Putin:

I want to say directly that you have always been right and all your warnings have been fully vindicated.

Today, the actions of the West are absolutely obvious to everyone.

Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik to Putin:

I am pleased that you are restoring Russia’s former might, establishing it as a global power.

Full-scale J-10CE fighter jet mockup in Azerbaijan Air Force markings on display at ADEX 2026 in Baku.

This is a marketing display by China's AVIC, not a confirmed deal or delivery.

Azerbaijan already operates JF-17C Block III fighters and has shown prior interest in the J-10CE.

Uzbekistan is the latest confirmed J-10CE operator with real aircraft shown.

Putin:

Imposing some outside will on the Serbs, especially in violation of previously adopted international agreements, is something we consider unacceptable.

French President Macron:

Welcome back, if the British want to return.

The British have always been demanding partners, but our bilateral relations have continued on issues such as defense, security, immigration and many strategic matters.

I think it would be a good decision, and I think he is right to have that audacity.

Otherwise, we can see the limits for Britain when it wants to re-engage with us while remaining outside, because you cannot pick and choose among the freedoms of the Union. You cannot decide to take what suits you and leave the rest.

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez:

I believe Brexit was an enormous loss both for the British population and for the European project as a whole.

Therefore, if the United Kingdom were to take a decision in the direction you are suggesting, Spain would certainly applaud it and once again open its arms.

French President Macron on China:

We do not think we should enter into a trade war or cut everything off with China. That would make no sense.

First, because we still have economic players working there, and second, because there are also technological innovations that we need.

So our approach is to maintain strategic engagement, while protecting and accepting the need to protect.

French President Macron:

The fight against antisemitism is one of the priorities of the Republic. It is existential to the Republic itself, and we will never accept antisemitic remarks. Never.

Q: Is there a genocide in Gaza?

Andy Burnham: I’m not saying that it is or isn’t at this point in time. That hasn’t yet been determined. We will take our lead from the courts.

French President Macron on the Ceuta migrant crisis:

Your government, your country and our Europe were the victims of an attack. Spain did not organize these crossings.

So I have a very simple reflex when that happens: when European countries face uncontrolled migration movements arriving on their territory, we owe them solidarity.

Spain suffered an attack, probably a multifaceted one. We can see from our analysis that there were information attacks.

French President Macron on the Ceuta migrant crisis:

I am surprised that many Europeans did not show Spain this solidarity when they themselves had benefited from it when confronted with similar events and had asked for it.

First, many people have returned to their countries of origin or transit, and that work must continue in close coordination with the Moroccan authorities. I understand that cooperation is going well.

Just as hosting U.S. military bases has not brought you security, hosting the "Butcher of Gaza" will also not have favorable consequences.

Learn from the last war, stop igniting wars, and cease issuing baseless claims regarding the Iranian islands!

NATO's Rutte:

Russia is not doing well in Ukraine. Every minute we spend on this is exactly what Putin loves us to do — being rattled and talking about, "Oh, what’s happening here? What’s happening there?"

Calm. We are stronger. Carry on. Keep on investing.

NATO's Rutte:

When it comes to the frontline, look at Donetsk, Sloviansk, Kramatorsk — these key cities — the Ukrainians are doing much better now than only half a year or a year ago.

Look at what they are doing in striking deep inside Russia and taking out some of the key logistical systems in Russia, when it comes to the energy infrastructure, when it comes to their systems of warehouses, etc.

So Ukraine is doing fine, but it is absolutely true there is an issue when it comes to big cities and energy infrastructure and logistics being under threat.

NATO's Rutte:

It was only the United States which was capable of taking out the nuclear capability of Iran, which was a threat potentially soon not only for Israel in the Middle East, but also for us here in Brussels.

The American president taking out that threat, degrading that capability, is crucial. Of course, every war also has its downsides. That’s clear. But I’m looking at the upsides here.

NATO's Rutte:

Why are the Americans doing it, taking out Iranian nuclear capability? Because we can’t. But in the future, we have to make sure that, as Europeans, we can do this ourselves.

It is a bit strange that, to protect ourselves here in Europe from 140 million Russians, 600 million people living in NATO territory in Europe need a country six to eight hours’ flight from here, with 340 million people, to defend us against the Russians.

We should be able to do that ourselves. That’s exactly what we are working on.
