2:04 am
and the diplomatic affords had been emitted the initiator to paved way before a meeting between these 2 leaders they met and agreed on as this way. however, just i was after the si, fi was announced. now the reports are coming in and seeing that the ceasefire is already violated and the clashes are still ongoing. lossy of these 2 companies are good, engaged into almost an all of war. tens of people were killed and injured. and the fear here now is that if this conflict is not contained and the sci fi doesn't hold, then these 2 companies could be dragged into a wider conflict. who joining us line from washington, d. c. as lawrence co, he is former us assistant secretary of defense and senior fellow at the center for american progress. thanks very much for being on the program at fiscal fighting over buddha issues between the 2 countries as relatively frequent. so can you explain how significant this latest escalation isn't why you think it's happening now? well, i think it's very significant because at the shanghai meeting,
2:05 am
the heads of both of the states had broker to cease fire and it didn't whole. and you wonder if they can't do it, who can again, if you did not have the war in ukraine, russia could, i think. busy play a positive role, which they did back in april of 2021. ah, because they had both been part of the former soviet union and russia has military bases in both places. why it happened now because the tensions are so high, even the smallest name can trigger a battle. when they said that the, you know, they're moving the wrong direction or they're going over the water or they're not letting the water flow. i mean, there are all these little issues that basically are, you know, concerning and to jake a stand is really suffering because of the war in ukraine because a lot of tags work in russia and then send the monte hall. what was the ruble be
2:06 am
devalued? they're not getting as much as they used to. so they're having some severe economic problems, which i think led to them acting the way they did along the border. as you said, it's a pretty fragile ceasefire as we've seen. so what hope is there that it will, how do you think it's going to get worse? i think it's going to get worse unless you could get some of the outside powered may be turkey, which has basically played a positive role like without your bon, as you're by sean and armenia. beg, given you know, that they are european country but also a muslim country. i think they could, they could do it again. china could play a positive role. busy if in fact, that's what they want to, if they think that, you know, given the fact that she present and she is try to, you know, shark tried as role on the war. say they could play a positive role, but it's got to be done by the outside because if it's not there just was going to
2:07 am
go on because they've had several c suppliers going back to april 2021. and it's not just because it's done in touch, it's done. we're also seeing funding between 2 of the former soviet republics, armenia and as by john, why do you think there's been an increase of hostility? while i say what happened was when the soviet union controlled everything, people did worry about things like the borders or where they lived. once they got their independence. i think people began to say, well, you know, this is really part of the chica stand and, and care. so expand so you know, as part of ours and you really had no international group that could broker this. maybe we could get the un involved. this is something i have maybe to get them to deal with, but i snake you did not have the war between russia and ukraine. the russians could play a positive role. in fact, they did back in april of 2021 lawrence called thank you very much for your insight
