or region can take part in the selection, the names of the delegates will be announced in the evening. more information from my colleagues at 15:00. all the best. hello, the sas program is on air , i am authorized to declare, i am its host nadezhda sas, i welcome you and remind you that this program is for those who want to better understand what is happening and understand how these processes, events, people will affect the life of the country of each of us. we will talk about the threat of a major war in the middle east in more detail immediately after the digest of key events in world politics this week. there is a revolution in bangladesh. prime minister sheikh hasina, who led the country for 20 years, resigned and fled abroad
1:07 pm
amid mass protests that turned into chaos. a temporary government will be formed in the country, headed by nobel laureate muhammad yunus. let us recall that the protests in bangladesh began in early july. initially, they involved students who demanded a change to the country's quota system, which reserves 30% of public sector jobs for relatives of those who fought in the war for independence from pakistan. clashes soon broke out between protesters with. abolished most of the quotas, but the protests continued. participants demanded an investigation into the violence against demonstrators and an end to mass arrests. a state of emergency was declared in the kursk region on thursday. massive attacks by the ukrainian armed forces on the korsk region began on the morning of august 6. according to local authorities, at that time a ukrainian unit of 1.00 people crossed the border, treacherously attacking civilian targets. "the russian defense ministry
1:08 pm
reported that about 300 ukrainian soldiers attacked the positions of russian troops near the settlements of oleshnya and nikolayev dar'ina, for this they used 11 tanks and more than twenty combat armored vehicles. the operation to destroy the ukrainian armed forces in the border areas of the kursk region continues, the report says. russian defense ministry. units of the northern group of forces, together with the russian fsb, continue to destroy". immediately adjacent to the korenevsky districts of the kursk region, the russian-ukrainian border. matthew miller, head of the press service of the us state department, said that the united states does not impose restrictions on the use of american weapons by the ukrainian armed forces in the kursk region. he emphasized that ukraine's actions do not violate us policy. miller also said that the american administration was not warned of a planned attack by the ukrainian armed forces on the kors region. that such information
1:09 pm
is part of a specific ukrainian tactic, and this is not unusual: the united states provides equipment and advice, but ukraine decides on its own actions. vice president of the united states, the official democratic party candidate in the presidential election, kamala harris, announced that if she wins in november , the sixty-year-old minnesota governor tim walls will become vice president. some time after the news appeared. the press secretary of the election headquarters former us president donald trump, caroline leavitt called the governor a dangerous liberal extremist and accused him of being obsessed with advancing the liberal agenda. like most american governors, walls has rarely spoken out on foreign policy issues. his positions do not differ much from the party majority. thus, in october 2023, he condemned the attack of the radical palestinian group hamas on israel. at the same time, walls expressed.
1:10 pm
attention to the position of protesters against israel's strikes on the gaza strip, which lead to civilian deaths. in his recent column on the crisis in the middle east, russian international affairs scholar fyodor lukyanov writes. the situation in western asia, where the wills of iran and israel have once again clashed, is paradoxical in that there is no way out of the clinch. the parties really want to sort things out with each other, but it is impossible to do so without catastrophic consequences for themselves. we will talk about the next sharp steps in this protracted macabre dance of two inseparable enemies in today's program. welcome to our studio aleksandr borisovich olesin, military expert. hello. good afternoon. for the first time in our program. nikolai petrovich, parkhidko, associate professor of the russian university, friendship of peoples, member of the russian military historical society, candidate of historical sciences, i welcome you, i also add to our broadcast karina gevorgyan, orientalist, international expert, karina aleksandrovna, i welcome you, hello,
1:11 pm
as per tradition, we begin our discussion with a blitz question. has the threat of a major war in the middle east passed in the near future? karina aleksandrovna, how would you answer this question? you see, i would not take on such a thankless task as predicting such moments, because even if international mediators or the forces representing the parties agree on something, an excess of the performers is possible, the situation goes into a tailspin, therefore this risk remains from my point of view. that the threat remains a high degree of uncertainty, the whole point is that the human factor can intervene, well, and political contingency, we see that benjamin netanyahu wants to drag the united states of america into this conflict in every possible way, and very often he acts not only against
1:12 pm
the interests of the rest of the world, but also against the interests of the united states, it may well turn out that the states may be dragged into this conflict against their will. nikolai petrovich, can we say with certainty that the threat has passed? i think, unfortunately, we can say with certainty that the threat has not passed, that it remains, i will try to comment dialectically, the fact is, that the alternative would be a reasonable decision if it had passed, but unfortunately we see that the western elites, to which benjamin netanyahu certainly belongs, have very rarely pleased us with reasonable decisions over the last 10 years, so the threat remains. karina aleksandrovna, and what do you think, this is what... is this position taken by mr. netanyahu produced by israel as a whole, because israel cannot come to terms with the fact that not everything is allowed, and that it does not have the right to use certain actions, even such aggressive ones. you know, i
1:13 pm
it seems that netanyahu missed the beginning of the process when israel ceased to be a valuable, super-valuable asset for the united states as a whole of the western bloc, to some extent, even we know the statements of some western politicians, including brzyzinski, regarding the fact that if there were no israel, then there would be no problems, so in this sense he did not take into account this international situation, from my point of view , in these circumstances, he saves, excuse my expression... because we are against him we know that criminal cases have been opened in israel itself and that he faces prison as soon as the fighting stops. let me remind you that the situation in the middle east has worsened due to the attack on the head of the palestinian
1:14 pm
hamas politburo, ismail haniyeh, in central tehran. iran blamed israel for the incident, promising a swift and tough response. tel aviv warned that tehran would pay a high price in the event of an attack on... the state, we will tell you the details in our story. the assassination of the hamas leader threatens to escalate tensions in the middle east. the head of the palestinian movement's politburo, ismail haniyeh, was killed on july 31 in a missile strike on his residence in tehran. he was there for the inauguration of iranian president masoud piteshkian. hamas blamed israel and the united states for the murder. but in israel itself, the issue remains closed. ministers are prohibited from speaking out on... haniyeh's death, the radical movement said it reserves the right to take a harsh response to the murder. hamas stressed that haniyeh's death will not affect the movement's position in any way. negotiation process with israel, but the jewish state will nevertheless pay a high price for this crime. the iranian
1:15 pm
authorities are conducting an investigation, but experts already agree that the murder of the politburo leader threatens to escalate tensions in the middle east. any attempts at a settlement were immediately threatened. the negotiations between the parties were already extremely difficult, in recent months, it was not possible to agree even on a temporary ceasefire, but now the situation has become even more complicated, the liquidation of haniya in ... threatens lives to a greater extent hostages, today it is more than 100 people, the israeli army is having a very hard time rescuing its fellow citizens, while the pressure on the government in this regard does not weaken. crowds of local residents regularly take to the streets of israeli cities, demanding that their relatives and friends be returned home. will this be possible in the near future? the question is open, because a number of experts predict the outbreak of a full-scale war in the region, analysts are only competing in the forecast.
1:17 pm
applications to judge israel by, on this platform has already been initiated, that is why in this case i remember that the iranian side did not object earlier before the start of these events, at least in gaza, before october 7, against the creation of a diplomatic format, the settlement of the conflict between tel aviv and tehran. and tel aviv was against it, therefore a diplomatic format for
1:18 pm
the settlement of these relations does not exist, and now at this time iran has created its own axis of resistance, it has very serious positions in iraq, in lebanon, in syria, and as we have seen, helps ansarul in yemen and in this sense... the task of the iranians is to ensure maximum security for their own country, which , let me remind you, has, unlike israel, both a fairly large military-technical and military power, and strategic depth. yes, nikolai petrovich, but tell me, please, in your opinion, is there at least some rational grain in this ideological struggle and confrontation. let's turn to the personality of the liquidated. iran, it turns out,
1:19 pm
with the mediation of egypt and qatar, to regulate this catastrophic the situation in gaza, he was one of the key negotiators, and this person is being liquidated, even if israel denies its involvement, but i think that many, if not all, indicate that this is precisely. involved in the liquidation of officials of this level, moreover, continuing the theme of ideology, if we look at who became the successor of the liquidated haniyeh, then it was yehyasenvar, so immediately, as soon as he took over the post of the murdered haniyeh, then none other than the minister of foreign affairs of israel, israel kats, declared that this person is immediately subject to physical liquidation... he was the organizer of the attack on israel on october 7 last year, we have prepared a short informational
1:20 pm
reference about mr. sinwar, so pay attention to the screen. yahya sinwar, the newly elected head of the hamas politburo, is considered one of the most significant and radical figures in the movement. he is the organizer of the hamas attack on israel on october 7, 2023. for the kidnapping of two israeli soldiers, he was sentenced by israel to four life sentences, of which served. 22 years. in 2011 he was released as a result of a prisoner exchange, in 2017 he was elected as the leader of the movement in the gaza strip. 3 years ago he was subjected to an assassination attempt by israel.
1:21 pm
the abusive iranian president, he was a guest in iran at that time, because he permanently resided in turkey and kator, if i am not mistaken, at this moment iran is being insulted by israel, that is, it is quite obvious that iran, as a response, appoints a much more radical, much tougher. figure in place a person who, i repeat, could well have organized the negotiation process to de-escalate this situation. if we look at the situation from iran's point of view, iran is guided by national interests, security interests. iran is on the defensive. if we look at israel's position, the issue there is not only in
1:22 pm
the gas sector, because the issue is not only in the attack that took place on october 7. yes, of course, this topic has now been overshadowed. lukashenko fears that the us will use the conflict in the middle east to unleash a new world war. the belarusian leader stated this at a meeting with participants in the meeting of the council of ministers of internal
1:23 pm
affairs. in fact, they have an election campaign on their shoulders, and the development of a major war in the middle east will clearly not be in favor of the candidate of the democratic party, they will deal with iran after they take power, now this is obvious, they have ukraine hanging on their hands, in addition, the issue is that
1:24 pm
they are diverting significant forces, forces from taiwan, it turns out that they are drawn into a number of ... local conflicts around the world, the united states can no longer respond, so to speak, adequately to all these, to all these challenges and threats, so i think that the united states will make efforts until the last moment to prevent this war, which is generally looming quite clearly on the horizon, and i think that the russian federation is also against such a development of events, they say that shoigu came in order to, so to speak, sell iran air defense systems to familiarize them with the position of the russian federation on the ukrainian issue, but as some experts say, the russian federation has urged iran not to rush into a military conflict and at least wait until iran's air defenses are reinforced with the latest russian
1:25 pm
anti-aircraft missile defense systems. so, apart from benjamin netanyahu, i think even the most... extreme reactionaries in israel are not interested in this conflict, because well, the time allotted for the existence of the state of israel is thawing, from a long-term perspective, the chances of preserving states of long-term periscope melt. karina aleksandrovna, do you agree with this position do you connect iran's recent decision, because the iranian authorities are considering the possibility of changing. tactics, abandoning the initial plans for a massive attack on israel, the publication writes politics with reference to sources, according to the publication in the us they believe that tehran has already made the corresponding decision and does not expect a blow. on a european state in the near future, and at the same time there was a corresponding visit by mr. shaigu, then there are international actors who contributed
1:26 pm
to the fact that there was no response from iran. well, i'll start with the fact that the speaker of the lower house of the american parliament, mr. johnson , said that if iran strikes, the united states will attack iran. that is, none of the mediators, neither the katorskys, nor the turkish, nor the british, nor the french, nor anyone else, managed
1:27 pm
to dissuade the iranians, another thing is that it is curious that the americans still ended up in tiheran by secret means, they conducted negotiations and apparently discussed some issues, i will remind you that the americans themselves the americans have some small dependence on iran, they were negotiating... the election campaign, as we see, but the presence, as it were, in the united states itself, in britain, of very different forces, which
1:28 pm
andrei ilyevich furskov calls globalists and ultra-globalists, they are also fighting among themselves, generally speaking, we are becoming almost like hobbesian witnesses of a war of all against all, because in each camp, especially in the western camp, we see a swan, a crayfish and a pike. which of them, let's say, will provoke, today's american leadership is on the issue of participating in military operations, well, that's a big question, as they say, someone can do it, there are interested parties, and we, i see how the same statements, for example, from london testify to the fact that war is war, they really want to drag the united states into this war, they have their own ambitions.
1:30 pm
from the russian federation, the people's republic of china and the united states of america, here is such a triangle, which i do not remember that it worked successfully, at least in this region, but if try to launch a peacekeeping mechanism, forget about any disagreements, about sympathies, antipathies, because we know that the united states has now sent an aircraft carrier strike group to the mediterranean sea, obviously to support israel, and obviously against iran, so if we abstract all this from this. then it is quite possible, quite possible that some kind of agreement can be reached, but i would make a small note here, in terms of a hypothetical military,
1:31 pm
or rather, i even... now i myself am mistaken, not necessarily a military response from iran, because iran has proclaimed how, it said that it will respond as needed, when needed, and where needed, this does not necessarily mean that 300 missiles will fly at israel, as it was, we know, on april 14 of this year, yes, in response to the israeli air strike on the iranian consulate in syria, this could be a proxy war, it could be the houthis, who can seize or sink any ship that, let's say, supplies israel, it could be the hezbollah movement, which will inflict strikes on israeli territory. by the way, by the way, almost simultaneously with the destruction of the leader of the hamas politburo ismail hani, one of the military leaders of hezbollah, shukr, was also destroyed, he was destroyed in exactly the same way, hezbollah has
1:32 pm
a motivation to do this, that's why. for iran , in this situation, the so-called proxy war is much more profitable than waving its fists, that is, formally, it saves face and does not go for escalation, the only country that is going for escalation today, we have already said many times, is israel, therefore, therefore, it is necessary to influence, the efforts of the international community on peacekeeping must be directed specifically at israel, we will display on the screen a map that we prepared with colleagues, iranian influence groups in the middle east, friendly... neutral countries, hostile countries were highlighted in different colors, so that this would be clear to our esteemed viewers. alexander borisovich, but such inaction is surprising even from those states that are in fairly friendly relations with iran, that is, israel told the middle east who here at the moment is the master whose hands are untied, that is, when you take a certain action if
1:33 pm
it contradicts the norms. israel has warned that any hostile actions from its neighbors will be brutally suppressed, up to and including strikes on the largest centers, that is, both industrial and military, so everyone is waiting, waiting, on whose side, as they say, there will be a military advantage, and i think that iran has adopted the tactic, well, revenge is a dish that should be served cold,
1:34 pm
they are now pro... completely covered by means of its own significant damage, taking into account the air defense and missile defense, i have a large missile power in general of israel and then, i think that everyone is still waiting for a step from the side, that a large territory of iran cannot be from the side of iran, how will it act, here experts put forward many options, that is, that there may be a raid on the territory of israel by iranian teams, that this could be, then
1:35 pm
and ... a campaign from a very complex, side, as a colleague said, as the united states, china, the russian federation, the question we are talking about the ideology of prestige, so, of course, iran cannot give in to any of this. it seems that this has never happened in belarus, the elements swept away, broke and flooded everything in their path for a week. there was no adequate reaction to these events, fast, clear, military. around
1:36 pm
one and a half million cubic meters of forest were damaged in the country , the task is to restore order as quickly as possible to save commercial timber, the crushed stone plant is the main enterprise of the region, here at a depth of 60 m, lithuania, latvia and estonia have banned entry to their territory with a car on belarusian license plates. our mit immediately declared: there will be no retaliatory sanctions, on the contrary, the president supported the introduction of a visa-free regime for all europeans, a plane, a train or... a green light. the main topics on the main broadcast. watch on the belarus 24 tv channel. what for belarusians , a familiar life for others can seem truly exotic? good morning, friends,
1:37 pm
a rooster, yes, that's how it is with us, good morning, and how does your rooster crow? tickers, kickers? friends, any trip to an unfamiliar city requires start in the museum, where i will tell you how to build the right route to see interesting places. however, it is easy to become one of your own in a foreign country, you just need to get acquainted with its history and culture. this is a five-hundred-year-old oak tree, wow, which can fulfill a wish.
1:38 pm
there is the most valuable thing that we can export to our allies: political experience, willpower and determination of our leader. we all say that we are big, we are great, we are really great, we are more than 40% of the population, about a third of the world's gross domestic product, we all tremble before this dollar. alexander lukashenko regularly does what is generally not accepted in world politics. he comes out and tells the purest truth. i see a real person. who simply chops wood, as many years ago, in order, among other things, i am sure, not to get off the ground. i see a person who jokes, who swears, who can go over, yes, to a political burp of rage when someone does not do something to achieve a result, because
1:39 pm
he deeply cares about the result, not not only as a president, but also simply as a person. author's project by igor turai, propaganda. watch on belarus24 tv channel. let me remind you, the program saz is authorized to declare is on air, we are talking about the threat of a major war in the middle east, i am adding to our broadcast igor aleksandrovich matveyev, associate professor of the department of international business , faculty of international economic relations, financial university under the government of the russian federation. greetings! hello! well then! before our eyes is a map of the middle east, we are talking about whether the threat of a major war has passed? how would you answer this question? well , i think that in general the situation, unfortunately, now in the middle east, which
1:40 pm
historically has already, yes, one can say that historically, been characterized by increased conflict potential, has a tendency to escalate. unfortunately, we see multiple conflicts that remain in the region. moreover, what is very important, their mutual determinacy, mutual influence is growing, well, take for example, the israeli-palestinian conflict, a long-standing one, yes, at the same time, the confrontation between the west and the paradigm of strategic patience on the part of tehran, which in general in fact actually means a proxy war using paramilitary formations allied to itself in the zone of the so-called shiite crescent, yes, but this term was once used by the arabs. or in lebanon with access to the border with israel, so it is common usage, this is actually speaking, yes, countries such as iran itself, then iraq, syria, all these conflicts, they tend
1:41 pm
not just to escalate, yes, but to grow interdependence, plus there are also extra-regional conflicts that are also generally related, yes, so here, unfortunately, we cannot say that there are no risks... of the emergence of a major conflict, a major war. igor aleksandrovich, i would also like to discuss with you the new leader of iran, the new president of iran, masoud.
1:42 pm
he considers it possible through negotiations with the united states and the european union. as for russia, its position is not fundamentally different from the approach of its predecessor. it is expected that in the near future the course of rapprochement between the two countries will be continued. we just looked at the information about the new president of iran, based on those biographical data, his political position, absolutely cruel actions of israel. towards iran, do you think they were aimed at driving a wedge between iran and the united states of america, because, based on the position of the new president of iran, one could assume that the relationship would be close to establishing mutual existence, even regardless of who is the president of iran, well, of course, yes in the case with the new president... of the islamic republic
1:43 pm
of iran remain the same and one of the most key priorities is the weakening , ideally the lifting, the cancellation of anti-iranian sanctions, of course from the united states, because from other countries, in many ways these sanctions are limited in nature, this is due to the imperative of ensuring guaranteed technological sovereignty, scientific sovereignty, that is , obtaining, with obtaining sustainable access to the achievements of scientific and technological progress, this is very important for the iranians, it is clear that the israelis are trying to disrupt the process of normalizing possible relations between iran and the united states based on reaching an agreement on the iranian nuclear program, and naturally there have been many leaks that biden would like to do this before the end of his presidency in order to go
1:44 pm
down in history as a successful president, this is very important for him, the americans, as i understand it, are ready to make certain concessions here, the fact that the leader of iran has become a person who is known in the west as a reformer, this is generally such a subjective factor, its significance should not be overestimated, but in general it really is, this is such a circumstance, probably, under certain conditions of acceleration of the normalization process, the israelis, of course, are not... satisfied with this, because in such a case the risks for them increase, from the point of view of their security, as the israelis understand it, therefore they do everything to irritate iran, to force it to take steps not in line with the concept of strategic patience, which is sanctioned by the rahbar, the supreme leader iran, of course, and iran continues to firmly adhere to this doctrine of strategic patience, the israelis play on this in every way... and push iran so that it begins to take more decisive
1:45 pm
actions, in order to then involve the united states in possible strikes against iran, in order to disrupt the process of normalization of iranian-american relations, this is one of the priorities for israel. i continue to remain a limited optimist from the point of view that the iranians are unlikely to be ready to sharply to break with the previous concept of strategic patience, choosing a much more costly one - let's put a map of the progress of military
1:46 pm
operations in the gaza strip on the screen, yes, please, we see the number of people killed on both sides , captured, wounded, arrested, it is difficult to express or describe what is happening, especially now on palestinian territory, on the other hand, for some reason no one has any specific analogies comparing the situation that has developed in the middle east with the situation that is developing today on the territory of ukraine, that is, if... we can mirror israel, russia, then why is it that the actions of israel in the united states of america cause applause, and the actions of russia condemnation? well. it is clear that in the public opinion of the collective west , the russian federation is presented as an aggressor, which has carried out an attack on a democratic state, which is drifting towards the west, which is trying to join the international community of civilized
1:47 pm
countries, and of course, from this point of view , the attack is undemocratic, totalitarian, imperial russia, cannot find sympathy in the ruling circles. collective west, on the other hand, that is, israel, which has a colossal influence through its diasporas and through financial capital on most of the leading countries of the west, especially on the usa, it is, as they say, the favorite child of the united states and its ruling circles, a kind of touchstone on which the loyalty, that is, of the ruling circles to the united states, is tested, by its obligation to the civilized. world, therefore, of course, never, that is, the united states will not refuse to support, i mean the ruling circles of israel, just as it will never refuse this support, that is, germany, which has a certain inferiority complex in connection with the results
1:48 pm
of the second world war and the holocaust, well and great britain, which is really fueling this conflict, which has a completely separate interest, which... dreams of taking the positions that the united states is now losing, everything that contributes to such a development of events, great britain only supports, throwing wood on the fire fire, therefore, in the foreseeable future , the relations of the collective west, the conflict in ukraine in palestine will not change, i think that now the russian federation will fight to further strengthen.
1:49 pm
it will end tragically for many, but it can be noted that there were such opinions in the expert community, and it is beneficial for russia that it burns in the middle east, and it is beneficial for the globalists, but in fact we see what kind of reaction and on the part of the leadership of the russian federation, shaigu's visit to tehran, the desire to prevent truly horrific terrible consequences, and the biden administration realized that you can't live on provocations, that is... this adequate perception of what is happening is present, yes, well, this narrative that it is beneficial for russia that the middle east is burning, where does it come from, after all, it is mainly western countries that are throwing it, and why is it elementary, because they measure by themselves, they simply project their measure onto us, what is beneficial to them, then
1:50 pm
automatically, as they think, is beneficial to us, why, because it distracts from ukraine, supposedly, yes, that's how they think, continuing the theme of comparison. the task of israel, which, well, probably has been in the air since the time of the prime minister of the arab, because it consists in principle of evicting the gaza strip, in general, in principle , of resettling the palestinians of the sinai peninsula, no matter how fantastic it may sound, why fantastic, well, because in peacetime
1:51 pm
1:52 pm
will think very hard about whether he needs it, in this regard i agree with the experts who are critical of such liberal ideas, so in principle it is possible that israel has achieved that task of foreign policy global e to separate the victory of the united states of america and iran, yes, so that they do not get closer, so that everything remains as it was, perhaps he has really achieved this. with his actions, but in the medium term in the regional context israel he has done himself a lot of harm, because iran will now definitely take a defensive position. igor aleksandrovich, do you see a chance for a comprehensive settlement of the conflict? because as we talked today in skarin, gevargian-orientalist, she believes that any attempts to settle the diplomatic plane. they are naturally destroyed by israel, he said his own, clear, no, in fact, suffered a complete
1:53 pm
fiasco, their paradigm, reconciliation of the middle east on a monetary basis with the help of the dollar, that is, initially, that it was assumed that there would be no state of palestine, but that the palestinians would have access to big money, first of all, this is connected with global transport and logistics plans along with the chinese... initiative and the belt and road, the americans, of course, for their part support an alternative corridor that is being promoted by india, this is india, the middle east, europe, so here is the connection, that is, saudi arabia, israel, palestine, this is, so to speak, a key link, transit, actually, this is very important, that is, in understanding of the americans, here they really judge by themselves, if the palestinians really got a piece of the pie, that is... not in words, in deeds, and not to mention the neighboring arab states, the same external economic dependence of egypt is growing, yes, which for the sake
1:54 pm
of sustainable development goals, so to speak, uses funds from international financial organizations, that is, all this in a complex, yes, precisely in a complex, will give a long-term measurement of the middle east, a complex settlement, based on the formula of two states for now too unrealistic, so, for now , the netanyahu government is definitely in power. moreover , netanyahu is under pressure from even more right-wing forces, who insist on an even tougher defense of israel's interests, primarily security, i draw attention to the fact that in the event of the creation of any palestinian state , the strategic depth will be completely lost, which is already quite small, yes, just over 100 km, so of course for the current leadership of israel, for the prevailing... country, this is unacceptable, and society radicalized precisely under the influence of a part of the military elite, the political elite of military operations, consolidation took place
1:55 pm
precisely on a radical, rigid understanding of israel's security interests, so the conclusion is that at present there are no prospects for a comprehensive settlement in the middle east. nikolai petrovich, and you see, this, i think, is relevant not only to the middle east, because when one or another peace agreement is signed between the parties, ukraine, that there is an opportunity to sign peace agreement. the question is different: ukraine is not ready to do this, but we need to live in this
1:56 pm
multipolar world that is being built before our eyes, the question is how can these conflicts be resolved in your opinion? well, generally speaking, i just now had this idea, sad, so now we have ricocheted onto such a global topic as, unfortunately, the degradation of the united nations, because such issues, of course, should be resolved by such a structure as the security council, its decision mandatory for implementation, well in such cases, at least for sure, the resolution must be unquestioningly implemented in the worst case , stop the conflict, and in general, in the best case, prevent it and stop it at an early stage, this is not happening, the united nations, alas, alas, has lost its authority, so what are the options for joint peacekeeping work between the leading players in the region, well, the leading players, whether someone likes it or not, these were and remain the united states of america, the russian federation, the chinese people's republic. well, it probably makes sense to include turkey here, and egypt. egypt already provides mediation services. well, but
1:58 pm
