the office of the president of ukraine said that the topic for the conversation with recep tayyip erdogan will be the peace formula of ukraine, the organization of the peace summit , the safety of shipping in the black sea, global food stability, as well as the release of ukrainian prisoners and political prisoners held in the russian federation, and, of course, joint defense projects'. in the slavic sphere, mr. valery, we have seen many efforts of erdogan and erdoğan's efforts to mediate between ukraine and russia, but each time because of moscow's position, he failed to mediate between ukraine and russia and provide his mediating services. what do you think, can erdogan now... play an important role in a possible conversation about possible negotiations not in the format

of ukraine and russia, but russia with world leaders and ukraine with world leaders about the future of ukraine, about the withdrawal of the russian army from the territory of ukraine. well, let's start with such a global question that you asked, and what can we talk about now? talks, that is, i do not understand at all how there is a possibility of discussing this format of negotiations, it has already been clearly stated from the... ukrainian side, regarding the position, well , the peace formula and the de-occupation of the territories, the protection of ukraine, a clear position to prevent russia from using its methods again lies, sorry for the slang, to separate everyone, that is, the position is known, the russian position is also known, to record the annexation of the territory of ukraine despite all

the rules and norms of international law, there is no subject at all... mediation negotiations, here you asked for two options, the first option is turkey's mediation in such a global process, yes , it's hardly possible, there are many different arguments, but i'll tell you something , it can be the usa, it can be a mediator, allies such as britain and... germany, france, that is, they can be mediators, and what is the option of mediation by turkey between kim, between russia and nato countries, well, hardly, so if we talk about the mediation of the head of turkey regarding supply issues, well, what is called with the grain agreement, yes, well, he quite successfully

achieved his goals and image goals , keeping it, growing relations with moscow and with kyiv at the same time, that is, it was a success of turkish diplomacy, and as it turned out, in principle, it lasted quite a long time, although it is russia that destroys such approaches, which, by the way, turkey probably noted for itself, but as a result i can say that there was a diplomatic success, and his personal role here is big, as far as broader issues are concerned, and the possible exchange of prisoners are also examples of active work and success of turkey, well, in particular , you know, our guys from azov were under agreements there for a certain time, so there is also mediation in this regard, but what about mediation, as you say, between russia

and ukraine, well, this is the situation in general, which so far does not look at all. kind of realistic. well, we will wait for the results of zelenskyi's visit to istanbul, because it is already known that he visited the shipbuilding plant there, where the corvette, the second ship of the ada class, which will be called hetman ivan vyhovskyi, is being built. it became known today, that is, turkey helps us and fulfills our orders and always cooperates with ukraine in defense. the military in the defense-industrial complex, mr. valery, another event that happened yesterday, but today continues to be discussed, is president zelenskyi's decision to appoint valery zaluzhny as the ambassador of ukraine to great britain, despite diplomatic practice, despite any

rules that exist in the world, in accordance with the vienna convention. the ukrainian side announced that zaluzhny would already be the ambassador to great britain, how correct was it, how motivated, and whether or not the ukrainian side is running ahead by announcing a hard-working ambassador to great britain before receiving grimand? well, i will only comment on my part of foreign policy and diplomatic practice, after all, i am an expert in my issues, therefore... the first position: the appointment of the ambassador to britain has not yet taken place, according to ukrainian legislation, the appointment is made by presidential decree, by the way, many people do not understand even that even the decree of the president is not yet the departure of the ambassador newly appointed ukrainian to the host country, he still has to take certain

additional steps, then there are relevant orders in the ministry of foreign affairs, which... i 'm forgetting it now for some reason, by the way, there is a countersignature of the prime minister, and the minister of legal affairs submits a candidacy , in the constitution of ukraine, even in the case of dismissal of ambassadors, there is a position that precisely these steps of the president, they must be signed and countersigned by the prime minister and the minister of legal affairs, although this is a very formal procedure in our country, but there were times when before that well watched carefully. not only on bankova, but also on mykhailivska and hrushevsky. now with regard to this announcement which took place before the... the party to whom agriman is addressed. agriman is a request for agriman is a request from one side to accept a candidacy specifically

for the position of ambassador and give its consent. and it is accepted, well, as a rule, it is accepted, in principle, in the world now not to refuse, these are some extraordinary moments, if they refuse, but nevertheless it is definitely not accepted to announce. announce it in advance. it is considered, it may not be a démarche, well, it would be strange if, in the case of a nomination, a démarche would be accepted, but it is considered a violation of customary international law, and in principle does not really correspond to the convention that you talked about, because it is the vienna convention on the law of foreign relations, about foreign relations, it is precisely the fourth article that says that the country must receive confirmation on... well, that is , agriman, confirmation of consent to the appointment of such a person to the position of ambassador, this does not apply to other diplomats, it also applies to the military to the positions of the atc, there

is also a certain preliminary procedure for such preliminary agreement, so as a conclusion, what the ministry of legal affairs in ukraine did was done in my memory and not only mine, i think that also colleagues who professionally those who work in this service know that this was done, in other conditions, the receiving party could perceive it as a not very polite, let's say, not a friendly move or breach of secrecy, that's right, the main thing there is secrecy, it's not accepted, it's not accepted in relations, as if they were not so friendly to us britain and other conditions, then we could simply refuse and everything, but in this case we will call on our british friends to understand our... situation and for us and the ambassador in kyiv, i really hope that he knew about such a decision, i really hope, well obviously

, the leaders of britain knew, otherwise i can't imagine that the decision could not have known this, they knew, but did the british embassy in kyiv know, well, that's another question, and as for us, to issue an official comment, to put an official comment of the ministry of foreign affairs. that is, it is against all the rules, well, i will tell you, these rules in the textbooks of first-year students, i myself taught international public law, protocol, there in the institute of international relations, all this is clearly written there, moreover, i will tell you, if we even take test tasks for diplomats who want to take up new positions there higher up, they have about 40, 45 questions there about this vienna convention and... well , a strange situation is emerging , we ask diplomats who go to positions to answer one thing correctly and do another, well, this is not a very

good story, to violate all these rules and all the norms are international, it is, i would say so , belittling one's professionalism, that's all, and i'm more interested in it here, because you know, in our country, people will change, some will enter, others will leave, the story continues. in the rest, the main task is war, victory, but professionalism and compliance with the norms and respect for partners, especially for great britain, this is what i think is very important, it is necessary to stand up for it, and if you just keep silent, if it comes into practice, then we may not now at some stage just get some unfriendly action from on the part of even partners, if we act in this way in the diplomatic sphere, very freely. to juggle international rules, well, it may well be that the decision about zaluzhnyi was made by those who did not study and do not know the norms of the vienna convention,

this can also be in principle, it cannot be, it cannot be, because, because the spokesman, the spokesman of the ministry of foreign affairs nadolenko, not nadolenko, but nikolen nikolenko, please forgive ambassador dolonka, who heads the diplomatic academy, and i... so i think that in the last week of his work, in this position, i am not sure that this is the best completion, and of course specific people are responsible for this, there are names in the ministry of funeral affairs who are responsible for this, it is not necessary to shift all the responsibility to those who give political orders there, but there is professional work, in the end the back must be straight, you have to have some professional abilities and... to explain above, even to the level of the president, that some things can be done differently, you can do them without violating, there are other ways, i see a bunch of options here, how it

could be done on. .. not not like that way, that's why i think that everyone knows this very well, moreover, i will tell you, the diplomats did not perceive it very professionally, very much so, let's say, as just some one-time situation, but we are talking about something completely different, we still have to go back, it seems to me that attention, to professional principles and to defend them, if no diplomat will defend these professional principles, then our diplomatic service... will lower itself, and how would you evaluate the personnel policy of president zelensky in the diplomatic sphere, there were many political appointments and many who perceives the diplomatic service as, well, as some kind of language pension, or some kind of departure abroad, as a departure from some position and gives the person there the status of an extraordinary plenipotentiary

ambassador. you, as a diplomat, as a person who has known this field for a long time, what can you say about this, because we can name many cases of such strange appointments and in belarus, in bulgaria, forgive me, the ambassador was appointed in a very strange and incomprehensible way her background, and venediktova went to switzerland as an ambassador, so there are many questions to be answered such appointments, to the extent that they destroy... this system that was built in ukraine since 1991, i would say, from a legal point of view, the president, he heads the foreign policy of the country, article 106 of the constitution, he has the right, to decide, i.e. these issues, i just told you that there is a procedure, that actually the minister of legal affairs is responsible for such decisions, and the prime minister even countersigns in some

cases, so when with... that's why i believe that on the one hand here, well, there are points that you and i discuss, but the president himself determines these priorities, how it is done, now it is no secret to anyone that the center of making not only political decisions of foreign policy, but very specific such functional decisions has moved, it has moved to the banking one, so in principle... it is possible that the realities are like this , as for the approach itself, well, there has always been an approach, they talked about it, the approach has always been that there can be professional diplomats, career diplomats, there can be so-called political appointments, but the so-called, why i say, there are political appointments, when a person is engaged in foreign policy, or is related to international negotiations in various formats, in various positions, it is one

story, well, actually. there is no education that can be applied here, and fluency in languages, of course, then it can be considered, but if it is exactly what you said, to be sent somewhere away from the internal politics of ukraine, or i don’t know, for some favor , well that would be very wrong, it's demeaning, because it's hard work, if you don't sit back, but do the job as much as possible, more so in key countries, and it is obvious that the work of diplomats, not only the ambassador, because the ambassador alone does not do everything there, there are employees of foreign diplomatic institutions, there is diplomacy, let's say, a wide range of different departments, and it is a huge job, huge, especially during a war, it's just colossal work, concentration of efforts, in general, this should be the maximum

selection. but uh, if it turns into just after some positions are transferred by ambassadors, well, as a rule, we are talking about ambassadors, then in the end, after a period of time, this will hit very hard on the motivation of career diplomats, who sometimes spend 20-25 years in order to reach this level, on the one hand, on the other hand, understand that it may not be necessary to engage in such and such practice. just a diplomatic one, and you can , maybe you don’t know the entire vienna convention, well , i jumped out at once, so yes, it has a bad effect, especially if the proportion of these political appointments is already off the charts, that’s true, look at the last ten appointments there, you all you will understand, well, there is a second question here, which can be solved even with this approach, with such a model, unfilled positions, it is necessary to somehow close the issue.
