Boris Johnson: You can't say Putin is going to escalate. I mean, how much more escalation can he do? He's bombing apartment blocks. He's in desperate hole. Escalation isn't the problem. We need to flip the switch in his mind and convince him that geostrategically it's game over.

Boris Johnson: One way to end the war is for Washington, London, Paris and other Western capitals to declare that Ukraine should join NATO. You don’t hear that now. Putin will respond to that by doing a deal because at the moment, he has no reason to think that we're serious. And he will keep wanting to push Ukraine, to carve Ukraine up, until he hears that it's game over, and that there's long-term strategic objective by the West to have Ukraine as part of the Alliance.

SEN. SHAHEEN: Russian economy is on the brink, and casualties unbelievable from American perspective. In less than 3 months, Russia is losing as many people on battlefield as we lost throughout Vietnam. Now is the time for us to take action, and get Russia sanctions bill passed.

US Army Secretary Driscoll: 10-12 weeks ago I was in Germany on training with Ukrainians and I asked them, "Do you all have trouble syncing your sensors?" The look that they gave me was like 13-year-old looking at their 85-year-old great-grandparent who can't zoom in on a phone. And basically Ukrainians were like, "No sir, as long as it moves data through a wire and can access the network, we can hook anything." We often invite Ukrainians to be our 'red team' or our enemy in training because they're really talented and we learn a lot from them. So, what happened is, the day before, I was in one of the other Eastern European countries talking to President and Minister of defense. They had just gotten this new counter-drone technology and interceptor, but one thing wasn’t working. They were talking about how difficult it was for them to sync this new interceptor with their radars, sensors and command-and-control system.

Boris Johnson: One of the reasons war in Ukraine isn't over is that Putin doesn't really know from the West what we want, and we won't declare that we really want Ukraine as part of the Western committee of nations, a group of countries. NATO, for instance, is the crucial thing.

John Foreman: Putin can't leave power now. He’s prisoner of system he’s created. He’s going to die in harness. Putin gets older, more stale, more detached from man he used to be, more surrounded by aging sycophants, drives Russia further into the ground, with no succession plan.

APPLEBAUM: Ukrainians don’t need D-Day style landing in Crimea. They want to make peninsula unviable, unlivable and unattractive in order to persuade Russians to go home, undermine Putin’s idea that Crimea is a permanent part of Russia. It’s a kind of politico-military invasion.

TRUMP: Putin said, "I'd love to meet in Moscow." I don’t know if Zelenskyy would go to Moscow. Maybe he would. Would you go to Moscow? ZELENSKYY: It’s difficult. There are lot of Ukrainian drones there. (Audience laughs) It’s dangerous. TRUMP: Yeah, it’s hard to go to Moscow.

BROWDER: If we'd been tougher on Putin after he went in and took Crimea, if we'd imposed devastating sanctions, he might not have done full-scale invasion. He thought he could get away with it. He thought we were all so weak and cowardly that he could roll in there. He thought Ukrainians wouldn't put up a fight, we wouldn't help Ukrainians, and that would be the end of the story. Sanctions serve two purposes. They can either serve as a deterrent, or they can be used as a punishment. The problem is that we didn't use them as a deterrent, and so now we have to use them as a punishment. But when you punish people, you've got to punish them a hundred times harder than you have to deter them. And so, it's kind of too late. Too late in the sense that there are hundreds of thousands of dead Ukrainians who didn't have to be dead if we had been more robust, if we hadn't been concierges to Russian oligarchs.

CIA Director, Ratcliffe: "Right now, Russia occupies 20% of Ukraine. When I came in as CIA Director 18 months ago, Russia occupied 19% of Ukraine. So, pace of their advance has stopped, because Ukraine’s mastery of drone warfare and asymmetric warfare is such a great equalizer."

PETRAEUS: Ukrainians have stopped Russians cold on the front lines. The areas are just blanketed with drones. Ukraine has better drones, better operators, and more of them, which is astonishing given that Ukraine is 1/5th size of Russia, and 1/10th or 1/15th size of its economy.

HODGES: When families in Moscow or St. Petersburg start seeing their little Ivan sent off to an army after mass mobilization, on top of gas shortages throughout Russia, on top of seeing smoke from burning refineries, then Russians will know that war has come to their front door.

BROWDER: Putin avoided mass mobilization because he understands the moment he does that people going to be very angry. This is Putin's worst nightmare. He could never have imagined situation getting so bad. Russians weren't angry when it was called 'special military operation', and when poor people from the regions were the ones getting killed on the frontline. But, they'll be very angry if young men are being mass mobilized. When they do that, they'll have to close the borders so people can't leave, which will make people even angrier. They've already cut off the internet and cut off Telegram inside Russia because they're afraid of people organizing against government. Putin thought that with Trump in White House, Trump effectively partnering with him in his efforts to get Ukraine to surrender, his situation would improve. But it turns out it hasn't. Trump can't solve this problem for him. And Putin is really being left hanging out to dry.

Former CIA Director, General David Petraeus: "Look, Ukraine is now using 10,000 or more drones per day. This is just staggering. Last year, they produced 3.5 million drones. We in the United States produced 300,000. We have nothing like what they have."

KELLOGG: World has changed. In the future, Ukraine is going to be Sparta of Europe with battle-hardened army of 800,000. They’re very good at what they do, very proud of their nation. Putin thinks he can bomb them into submission. He doesn’t see Ukrainians like I do. He's wrong.

Richard Gere: To have any kind of legitimacy, you have to rewrite history. Putin clearly is doing that, saying "There never was a Ukraine, there never was a Ukrainian language, there never was a Ukrainian culture. It's completely made up." Well, it's false. Exactly what Chinese have done with Tibet, they said, "There never was a Tibet, there never was a Tibetan language, there never was a Tibetan culture." I mean, you have to destroy history to create legitimacy.

🇭🇺 PM Magyar: Let me make it very clear concerning the war in Ukraine, on behalf of Hungarian government, that Ukraine is the victim, Russia is the brutal aggressor and Ukraine has the right to defend its territorial integrity. We maintain our humanitarian assistance to Ukraine.

SIKORSKI: What Russians do routinely is stage false flag operations as provocations. So, we suspect Putin is planning to put together some Ukrainian drones and set them against a NATO country or even against Russia itself, and then respond because he's desperate and he's losing.
