this was reported in the british government . what about the visit of sun cannes to meet the premiers of the countries of northern europe and the netherlands in the format of the joint expeditionary force, which on december 19, that is, today, takes place in volodymyr zelenskyi will also speak remotely in riga and at this event. volodymyr zelenskyi in sumy will discuss with partners efforts to counter russian aggression in the region and will call on them to maintain or increase the level of support for ukraine in 2022. in parallel with his call, britain will announce the future supply of hundreds of thousands of ammunition for artillery in the next year under a contract for 250 million pounds, which ensures the constant supply of extremely important artillery ammunition to ukraine during the 23rd year personally informed the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi about this news and the support of e-e about this new support. last week, after their conversation, it was reported that

sumakh then promised ukraine and new means against air defense, yes. well, lukashenko and putin will discuss military issues, belarus will not be forced to participate war and this was announced by putin's son-in-law ihor grechnik dmytro piskov quoting the enemy today at the talks between putin and lukashenko there will be an opportunity to talk about military issues in view of the turbulence at the same time called the publication that putin is going to minsk to force belarus to participate in the war against ukraine as stupid and baseless fabrications. well, the fact that piskov refutes should alarm us. of course, if they refute something, it means that they are also preparing for us and so, in the end, we are ready. well and as far as is known, the plane with putin on board is already in the airspace of belarus . it is actually very interesting how this plane

rose from vnukovo. the board flew to belarus a little earlier and boarded the plane of the ministry of defense of this country. is shoigu on board? the question is still open. we are following the development of events there . well, for now, maria zolkina , an analyst at the democratic initiatives foundation named after ilka, is in touch with us. kucherian researcher of the london school of economics and political sciences maria congratulations glory to ukraine i congratulate you as a hero glory well, so to speak, we managed to agree on the ninth package of sanctions yes we hope that this will be the last and irreversible package of sanctions yes well but in in any case, we understand that despite this huge financial earthquake, the russian economy has withstood and we would like to ask you what your opinion is about the situation with russian resources, in particular, and financial ones that putin can use for a war with

us, well, the collapse of the russian economy really did not happen in 2022, but this is partly due to the fact that the application of the harshest sanctions, in particular sanctions on the embargo on trade in russian oil. they began to operate literally two weeks ago, the revenues of the russian budget are obvious will decrease next year in russia, there will be problems. however, this does not mean that there will be no money for the war in russia, because the russian society is authoritarian, the russian system is actually in the conditions of a dictatorship, and they will use any free funds precisely given the wars, therefore , it is probably not worth hoping that russia will run out of money, because it is more likely that they will have problems with technology, and with weapons, because they

have nowhere else to replenish their class now as from iran, but these are still not the volumes that russia needs to win over ukraine, so i would rather not bet on the fact that the russian economy will finally collapse in the sense that, for example, the collapse of the economy of the soviet union took place, but it will definitely be weakened as much as possible in 1023 on in contrast to 2022 , a factor that will contribute to maximum pressure on russia to, well, in fact, the situation and defeat, but not too much, the european union is making the last attempt in 2022 to agree on price restrictions for all gas including the russian one, they want to lower this limit e-e price from three thousand to 2,000 in the project, the price ceiling will be discussed at the meeting of the energy ministers of the eu countries in

brussels today, that is, how do you see this development of events, again for the russian economy, the oil embargo and price the cap on russian oil is one story, if you add to it the price cap, in particular, on russian gas, will this process speed up - the process of the decline of the russian economy in the 23rd year, well, the loss of russia due to the inability of russia to export gas to its main the export market on the european market, they are obvious and this is not even related to the decisions that the european union will now make for itself or the wider format of the big seven as much as possible of the world economy, because russia itself is hoping that this will have an effect what will it scare what will it force to leave due to russian blackmail, european countries themselves actually withdrew from the european gas market, but with regard to the gas price ceiling and gas

prices, the situation will be more difficult here and the discussions will be more difficult than with oil, because the european union, despite the fact that plans to completely abandon fossil energy from natural gas by 2030, at most 35, they still need it now, and in an emergency mode, to replace russian gas, they need exactly this natural resource, and it will be very difficult to imagine how they will be able to e- e setting with one hand e-e the price ceiling for natural gas with the other hand e-e actually inviting other gas exporters such as a boat e-e in such a hot mode to replace russia as an exporter for european consumers therefore, the discussion can take place, but from a political point of view, i do not really see the prospects that a similar scheme can be

applied, at least in the near future, precisely with regard to gas for the european market, we understand that the current war is not only about weapons and not only about the personnel of the armed forces the same goes for financial resources in particular, well, the european union has finally reached a consensus on allocating us 18 billion euros. i am not sure if this is such a large amount that we would need, but in any case, we bow to our european partner, yes so to speak for these funds. how much do you think this amount can solve the functioning of our economy in the near future, in particular, it is about the end of the current year and the next year, we will say that the aid that goes to ukraine is like a patchwork quilt that consists of very

different forms of financial support support, and of course it will not be limited to these 18 billion, taking into account the needs of the ukrainian economy, if this was considered direct finance, infusions into the ukrainian budget, then it is several months the survival of the ukrainian budget, but in addition to this there are other forms of support, so we should hope for what, how to think that everything will be limited to this, no, but more. this story with 18 billion is more important for us from the point of view of the internal discussion of the role of certain countries, in particular hungary which continues to blackmail brussels, demanding that it turn a blind eye to problems occurring in hungary itself, uses it as a trading card, that is, for us, this discussion is more important from the point of view of internal trends in the european union and relations

ukraine and hungary, we know that there poland has put forward certain claims to brussels and in fact there was a serious threat of blocking this aid to ukraine, but with poland the situation is a little different, that is, after all, the relations between the countries of the european union within the union itself are sometimes affect the extent to which the european union is ready to help ukraine and the military politically and financially. the energy genocide of the ukrainian people with these rocket attacks, literally a few days ago, another important event took place, the paris conference, at which several billion euros were agreed to be collected specifically for ukraine to pass through the winter period, and these funds

should be directly given to ukraine for -th adjustment for the purchase of special equipment that can replace what is being destroyed now as a result of rocket attacks, this is even food, humanitarian aid to those who will be forced to flee from local permanent residence due to, well, not human conditions during the winter period, but there are many problems here, since the willingness to give ukraine these several billion euros precisely during the winter period, until march 30, these funds must be used next year, and all this comes across the practical side, as far as national governments the national parliaments of those countries that collected this basket there with almost three billion euros, and how ready are they to quickly carry out all the procedures so that the money comes here? conventionally speaking, not on march 20, but already now. well,

mrs. maria, the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelensky, is initiating the convening of a special summit of the peace formula already this winter. as well as the terror that russia brought to our land, the ukrainian formula for peace is 10 quick points that are capable of creating a new security architecture, it is globally important that freedom will return to our entire ukrainian land to all our people. well, zelensky is sure that russian aggression will collapse and other potential aggressors will not dare to repeat this right away. it is important who will be the participants of this s- this summit and whether we already have an understanding of who will join the construction of a new new security of the world eh, i would formulate the problem differently eh- and what about those countries that join this themselves, i have no doubts that there will be no less than in the rammstein format, where

we have 46 countries, including countries that openly profess neutrality in principle and that take a politically neutral position in relation to the russian-ukrainian conflict in the same way, but also present in the rammstein format because they do not want to fall out of the general trend of supporting the victim of aggression and not the aggressor . one of the priorities for ukrainian diplomacy for ukrainian experts is to formulate the task of formulating a vision of what regional and world security should look like at the end of this war so that russia cannot violate these rules in the future and stand on the path of aggression no in relation to ukraine, nor any other country in the region, and there is a problem here, because there is no such unanimous understanding in the west.

recently, olaf scholz published a large program article forinefs, where he already talks about the so-called inventa site. about a watershed moment or a turning point not only in german foreign policy, but also in world international politics, but if you look, they are already ready to see russia as an aggressor. germany understands the mistakes it has made, but when it comes to nato does not have a single word that ukraine should become a member of nato instead. they are going to, well, at least germany sees it this way to strengthen nato at the expense of finland, sweden, and they are ready to talk about security guarantees for ukraine after the end of this war, but there is no understanding, or even a hint, of how exactly these guarantees are of security should look like and how they will actually differ in form

and content from the infamous budapest memorandum, it is clear that such a thing is no longer possible, and even to consider it in ukraine and no one will, that's why it was such a peculiar position of germany in such a program, program material, it is a kind of quintessence that even the state of our closest allies and there is no understanding, there is no answer to several questions, what will happen to post-war russia, that is , whether it will be included in the new security structure or treat it like north korea and continue the isolation while waiting for democratization to begin in some way, the second question is what to do if russia begins to fall apart and disintegrate into several of their countries as a result of russia's military defeat in ukraine, is it possible to allow such a scenario or not, in the west, rather, they are inclined to the fact that it should not be allowed. well, the consequences for ukraine, you can, er, you can figure out for

yourself the third question, and actually, here is this new structure of security, ukraine is still in nato. is it after all some kind of bilateral, multilateral, new alliances, and these security guarantees are so far blurred, which ukraine will someone give, but if ukraine is not accepted into nato, then it is unlikely that we can hope that these security guarantees will still be of any kind unclear, which will look the same as if ukraine were a member of nato, and here we need to work with individual capitals for the time being and bring them to a common consensus vision, because the uk actually has a frank and official position, and it is enough it is common in expert circles that after all, ukraine must be a member of nato if we look at germany and france, where the political drive is more about somehow establishing relations with russia
