China’s military activities and rhetoric toward Taiwan and others in the region increase tensions unnecessarily.

We urge Beijing to exercise restraint, cease its military pressure against Taiwan, and instead engage in meaningful dialogue.

The United States supports peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait and opposes unilateral changes to the status quo, including by force or coercion.

I wish that 2026 will be a year of peace. And I believe that it will be.

Instead of finding ways to calm down, we increasingly hear talk that war is inevitable, that it will come in two or three years. This is not responsible politics.

Politicians should not scare people with war. Their responsibility is to make sure that wars end.

In Moscow, they barely managed to resuscitate him (Kadyrov), after which he returned home and has not appeared in public since.

Data extracted from Ukrainian UAV shot down over Novgorod Region on December 29, shows a facility of the Russian President’s residence was its target.

The data will be passed to the U.S. via established channels.

Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine has almost been going on for four years. Russia's actions are illegal and immoral. As a result of the war, more than a million people have been killed or wounded.

Over the past year, we have worked tirelessly to achieve peace together with Ukraine and our allies.

Never before in the war have we been so close to peace, but we cannot be sure that Russia is ready for peace.

Peace is often a compromise. We must be prepared that not all parts of the peace agreement will necessarily correspond to our understanding of the law.
