Dmitry Peskov
Kremlin
1. Everyone can see how much we can trust the word of Zelensky.
2. On Monday, we mainly intend to discuss President Putin's agreement to resume the so-called Black Sea initiative, and our negotiators will be ready to discuss the nuances around this problem.
Maria Zakharova
Russian Foreign Ministry
1. It is obvious that by such antics Kyiv is once again demonstrating its complete lack of commitment, as well as its lack of desire to achieve peace.
Rustem Umerov
Ukraine Defense Ministry
1. We have concluded our meeting with the American team. The discussion was productive and focused -- we addressed key points including energy.
2. The discussion was productive and focused – we addressed key points including energy.
Volodymyr Zelenskiy
Ukraine Government
1. New decisions and new pressure on Moscow are needed to bring an end to these strikes and this war.
2. This week alone, more than 1,580 guided aerial bombs, almost 1,100 strike drones and 15 missiles of various types were used against our people.
Michael Waltz
Republican Party
1. We'll talk the line of control, which is the actual front lines, and that gets into the details of verification mechanisms, peacekeeping, you know, freezing the lines where they are.
2. We are now going to talk about a Black Sea maritime ceasefire so that both sides can move grain, fuel, and start conducting trade again in the Black Sea.
Steven Witkoff
US State Department
1. The ultimate goal is a 30-day ceasefire, during which time we discuss a permanent ceasefire.
2. I feel that (Russian President Vladimir Putin) wants peace.
3. I think that you're going to see in Saudi Arabia on Monday some real progress, particularly as it affects a Black Sea ceasefire on ships between both countries. And from that, you'll naturally gravitate into a full-on shooting ceasefire.
4. There have been referendums where the overwhelming majority of the people have indicated that they want to be under Russian rule.
5. I think there's this, you know, this sort of notion of we've all got to be like Winston Churchill, the Russians are gonna march across Europe. I think that's preposterous. By the way, we have something called Nato that we did not have in World War II.
6. I just don't see that he wants to take all of Europe. This is a much different situation than it was in world war two.
7. I don't regard Putin as a bad guy. That is a complicated situation, that war, and all the ingredients that led up to it.
Kirill Rogov
1. To ensure compliance, international observers — ideally Americans — must be present on the ground.
Anne Applebaum
1. If you ever wondered how the KGB manipulated foreigners and got them to repeat Soviet propaganda, spend some time listening to Steve Witkoff talk about his wonderful conversations with Vladimir Putin.
