“ Finland’s joining NATO would shake up the security order in Europe, both for NATO and for Russia. It's a very, very long border, and of course it brings NATO very close to — or will bring NATO if it all goes through — very close to St. Petersburg. And at the same time, it will give NATO a lot more territory right on the Russian border to defend. So those are big steps. Those are big changes. ”

“ I don't think people are in the mood to compromise, especially with Russia brutalizing Ukrainian populations. It's a hail Mary and people could vote against some kind of extreme compromise [that would end the war], but it's the only way it could be done. ”

“ It's clear if you read between the lines that Ukraine will never be a part of NATO. That's a concession on paper, it's not a concession in reality. ”

“ From the American side in particular, any concession that Putin would make, anything that he would put his name to, is going to be regarded with a lot of mistrust. He's not a trustworthy man. ”

“ It's remarkable to see a really good relationship between [Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping], but it can not be taken for granted. It is about understanding and regulating Europe and the United States. It is clear that countries like Russia and China have a clear agreement on what they want to play a very important role and are working for this common goal. ”
