for the needs of the army, join and you, each of you can help even a small contribution to support of the army saves the lives of our soldiers and brings our victory closer information and analytical day of the espresso tv channel we are in the middle of informing you dear tv viewers about the most important 13 friend monday khrystyna yatskiv and antin berkovskiy well, probably at the beginning of this hour we will note that right now in kursk oblast and belgorod oblast there is unrest is it somehow related to the loud celebrations of the day of the air defense forces of the ground forces of the russian federation, at the moment there is

no information for sure. well, we will wait. well, i understand that something is exploding there, well, explosions rang out in russian english at night and even an air alert was announced. well, as soon as we know something more and more specifically, and we will immediately inform you about the most important things, now we will talk . yasom well, the informal summit of the cis is taking place these days in st. petersburg, and as i understand it, the belarusian president oleksandr lukashenko, who arrived a few days earlier, will be present in the russian federation, and it will be an informal meeting of the leaders of the cis countries, the president of azerbaijan ilhamaliyev, the prime minister of armenia nikol pashinyan are also participating in the meeting. well, what can we expect

from such informal events? of the democratic initiative fund named after ilko kucheriv with the professor of the political science department of the kyiv-mohyla academy of the university of oleksya, congratulations glory to ukraine we would like to ask you about your opinion on what will happen in the real agenda of this informal e of this informal st. petersburg summit, we understand that literally a week ago, putin and shoigu tried to ride out lukashenko, as far as we understand, to join an open war against ukraine, as far as we understand, it is still possible. this story is not finalized and now putin is going to to speak to the other members of the cis, the so-called union of independent states, who still remained there for a couple, well, we understand that the level of support for the idea of ​​the cis there is quite different, mr. professor. what do you think ? the opinion will now be discussed in st. petersburg. i think it is this meeting.

it is for putin. it has a more symbolic character. show show that someone is meeting with him, respectively, for the majority of the countries present there. again, this is symbolic, they will show. well, we we remain in the same union with russia, although we again know that no one supports putin, despite the resolutions concerning the war in ukraine , with the exception of belarus, that there may be some real discussions, it could be in the triangle between russia, russia, armenia and azerbaijan, but they will relate to the situation in the south caucasus. if we are talking about the removal of lukashenka, well, for this putin does not need the cis itself, the informal truth is that it is

solved in a different format and by completely different means, therefore in general i think that it will rather be used by putin as again, for internal propaganda, to show that i am meeting, that we have allies and so on, eh, actually, eh, we were preparing an interesting article for a foreign audience for the southern of asia about how our war affects the situation in south asia, and in particular it was about the fact that at one time russia tried to present that it could fill the security vacuum in the south caucasus and in general asia and afghanistan, but as a result of the war in ukraine it turned out that russia is losing these

trump cards, moreover, there is such a eurasian economic union, who remembers, they wanted to drag us into it, and this became one of the reasons for the euromaidan, then it was called a customs union , that's how the idea was abandoned. he even wrote articles wrote his yes, he wrote his deep , deep thoughts not only about the historical unity of ukrainians and russians in quotation marks, but also about the fact that he wants to create it in the russian union on a par with the european union. the kazakhs opposed it. if we talk about the eurasian economic union, which is in effect, yes. and this is part of it, not even all the cis countries, so 92%. of the entire trade of the countries of the eurasian

economic union and where outside this union and only 8%, this is that trade is mutual trade between these countries, that is, once again, there was a eurasian union. let's go . what will the european union actually be? even the economic foundations of it, even with the belarusians, well, with the belarusians, a little higher , they are still not sky-high , that is, the main markets of all these countries are outside the borders of the post-soviet space and this actually creates the foundations for this post-soviet space to spread in various geopolitical intentions, where it is the european union, it is china and turkey economic relations between the united states are, let's say, very important for kazakhstan. therefore, once again, i

think that no principled decisions will be made at this informal state, it 's still he who gathers them. signals, of course, we do not treat them seriously, so well, because the guarantee of serious talks by the russian federation is the withdrawal of their intervention forces in our territories, but this is the one. for example, putin negotiates with everyone the participants in the process of accepting some kind of resolution if the west agrees to the negotiations and ukraine is the same bear. yes , putin's successor, so to speak, to whom he gave a hold on the presidential chair. new medvedev's new agreements on disarmament are not needed in the real world, as soon as guarantees of the maximum of security, which suit our country, the faster

the situation normalizes, mr. professor. why did they talk again about some kind of foreign security guarantees for their state, which no one did not attack, but on the other hand, we understand what they wanted to put into this concept at the present time. well, we understand that all this is propaganda. by the way, i wanted to ask you who medvedev is, now the deputy secretary of their security council, an influential person, well, taking into account the fact that he was carrying some kind of bag to xi jinping, er, the chinese president, that is, he has the direct trust of the russian dictator. let's treat some such symbolic gestures accordingly. this is what these russian political scientists, who are not under the control of moscow, are saying about zinpin's visit so far. i

will also say it. because this is putin's important statement yesterday about the negotiations. yes, it is aimed at uh, this is also part of foreign policy propaganda. yesterday i spoke on several arab channels about this, they called they asked what it meant, but at the same time, the arab channels, it’s interesting that what they show talks about this statement by putin and shows the bombing of ukraine at the same time. that is, they also already understand what it is about, so i think that this statement is in reality putin actually, well, it had little meaning because he repeats previous clichés about the unification of the russian russian people and russian lands in relation to medvedev's visit to this belfry, you understand, again, i think in this just as in the fact that joint meetings are held there a- and the

chinese naval exercises well, they are not being held for the first time, the truth is, china actually found itself faced with a rather difficult difficult choice, and china is very careful now because they are afraid of falling under american other western sanctions, yes. at the same time, he needs to show russia that there is support at the symbolic level, so i attribute it more to the symbols, by the way, we know that china and india are also very tough, but it was, well, it was outside the wheelhouse , but it is known that they spoke about putin's nuclear plans on renderemoji, the prime minister of india canceled such an annual meeting with putin, that is, they showed their, they showed their fairy, they do

, uh, they do eastern diplomacy, which is not prone to any loud statements, however, it does yes on levels of narratives china to a large extent promotes russian narratives, but at the same time it says that there will be no use of nuclear weapons, there will be no we are friends from ukraine with russia at the same time, therefore, once again we distinguish between some real real actions and some symbolic sanctions, well, for example, yes, where is iran supplies iranian thrones yes, these are real actions, unfortunately, will he move on to the supply of ballistic missiles? well, i have doubts, let's say, but this is reality, yes, this is what is behind it, what really affects, unfortunately, it created additional dangers for us, yes, but in the eye, dancing with with tambourines, er, the cis country. and yes, including

medvedev's visit to china, well, this is not the figure of medvedev, well, everyone knows the process, he is now removed from real levers and the only thing he can stand out is some absolutely crazy statements in the telegram channel which, by the way, work for us because every time he says that it is necessary to destroy uh, it means ukrainianness as such. we take these quotes, and they are still stupid, they are translated into english and we show them and show them foreign propaganda in the countries of the global cock, this is very very works well, unfortunately, i did not speak at your place, but i did

not speak from the press. of this region, it became clear that, despite the possibility of the summit we are talking about now, a tripartite meeting between putin aliyev and pashinyan is not planned. in your opinion, does this mean that the russian federation is losing its peacekeeping positions, so to speak on this location, i will remind you of the disputed location, they are , er, um, i don’t like it when we use western words, why skeleton region instead of location, although i wanted tautology and repetition, it’s also the west, then the region, but somehow it has already taken root in the ukrainian language, look, i think that the short answer is losing russia's remaining goats, yes

, that is, these trump cards are the presence of russian so-called peacekeepers in nagorno -karabakh, yes, this is the military base of armenia, armenia cannot afford to turn away from russia on security issues, that is russia still has these opportunities to put pressure on armenia, first of all to a lesser extent, to a much lesser extent on azerbaijan, but in general yes, in general, they are definitely losing these positions , including under the influence of the war in ukraine, well, definitely because they are now forced to their main efforts i have already said that at a certain moment it seemed that the russian game was a russian game, but we can act there with security grants, what

if it succeeds. and the war in ukraine showed that it does not succeed, and it turns out that the russian equipment, again, which they supply to many countries, let's say to the same india, yes, they see. yes, what is russian equipment, and this year, last year, let's say, for the first time, russia lost its primacy on the indian market in the supply of weapons, and france left, that's why yes , this war is leading, as we predicted, by the way, on the very first day of russian russian aggression, it leads to the decline of russia's influence in various parts of the world, not as quickly as it would be desired, in some places they continue to exert their influence through various dictators due to corruption schemes, but

these possibilities are decreasing, see now by sorting it like this let's say the opportunities like this to be elected you to be elected pressure of russia has it increased or decreased increased yes even this is careful yes it is the kazakhs are doing it carefully but we remember that two months ago at the informal cis these same also sanct- st. petersburg, well, i would say that there are none . they sat on the podium with putin and he said that we will not recognize any lnr- dnr. in the end, literally two words on saturday celebrated christmas according to the new, so to speak, according to the world style, you know i congratulated all of us and in the family we all congratulated and congratulated each other with this yes
