china sent a record number of military aircraft to taiwan the government informed the islands about this during the day 71 aircraft, among which fighters and drones entered the air defense zone and ivaniv were also seven chinese ships were involved, all this happened during alleged strike exercises , the government of taiwan called such actions the largest recorded invasion, the president has already convened a high-level meeting on national security, the meeting will take place today, china said that this was a response to provocations by taiwan and the united states of america, and i will remind you that the day before the us president signed a bill on the defense budget in which china is called a strategic challenge, the document also talks about strengthening cooperation with

and ivan in the field of security and now with us in direct communication yuriy poi and the head of the section of the asia-pacific region of the center of research of the army of conversion and disarmament mr. yuriy good night congratulations good night please explain to us what caused the appearance of so many aircraft ships over taiwan is this really the budget that was adopted in the united states of america? is it possible that there are other reasons, in fact, the appearance of military aircraft by the people's liberation army of china near taiwan, this is not a new situation, it has actually been going on since 2020 year and this is not here, there is nothing new in principle, the only thing that has happened as a change has happened since august 2022, after a visit to taiwan, there was a violation of the so -called middle line between taiwan and the people's republic of china, this means that the planes of the military air force of the people

's republic of china began to cross not only the air defense identification zone - it's adidentification e-e air defense policing from but they heard crossing the middle of the line in principle this is done every day and the intensity of such e-e plane-to-plane departures varies from a few to a hundred during nancy's visit, for example, to the island in august 2022, the number of e-e planes set to about a hundred, this also happens in principle during such events that annoy the chinese people's republic - this includes as you mentioned the adoption of the law on the budget in which aid is provided, including taiwan , so the situation is not new, it is in principle stable and controlled. i want to note that uh, what are these zone violations of air defense of taiwan do not take place for a long time, we do not observe such a massive

sortie at the same time, it happens within a day, if these 70 planes were detected around taiwan in different places, this does not mean that they, in principle, carried out such a massive mass flight, it is possible, it was possible that there was one plane for example, in half an hour or so, in principle, it is normally controlled. and here on the island. i am currently in taipei. and here on the island, it is observed as let's say absolutely it is normal and er and with stable e small clarification certain parallels immediately arise let ’s remember february of this year when ukraine was warned about a possible full-scale invasion of russia and some experts said no this will not happen russia will not go to kyiv if it is possible the escalation in donbas or not will this situation repeat itself in the pacific region, in particular, will we see an attack from china, which is possible in the coming days, in fact, an

invasion, it is always always likely , such and such a possibility cannot be excluded and all scenarios regarding a possible attack by the people's republic of china against taiwan are currently being observed. let's say there are four basic scenarios among them , two main ones can be visited. invasion with the help of the entire let's say the naval component, maybe the marines and so on, but we have to understand a few things first, uh, first of all, it's the weather conditions at the moment it is winter conditions and conducting a naval operation at sea is very, very difficult because there are storms and if we even see and er those does not

mean that it is possible to use quite a lot because large enough amphibious ships will be quickly destroyed because taiwan has a fairly serious anti-e anti-ship missile defense system and so on, therefore, for such an invasion, a large number of small amphibious ships are needed in that including e-e and using e-e helicopters and so on and this is currently very difficult from the point of view of weather conditions, secondly, according to the estimates we currently have, the people's republic of china is not yet technologically ready for such a military operation, it lacks an amphibious component and lack of experience and we must understand that conducting such an operation will be a very, very difficult task that will require the coordination of all components of the armed forces of the people's republic of china and thirdly, for now we are observing let's say this if we look at the results of the 20th congress of the communist party of china that was held recently, we see an increased

effort to strengthen its capabilities to forcefully establish a control island , but in the near future, this means that in the next few years, china is unlikely to carry out such an operation because it has quite serious problems in the economy he has quite serious problems related to covid-19 and he needs at the moment he needs let's say a stable situation er a stable situation we understand what during such a war, in the event of a war unfolding in the thai strait, it will cause a global let's say loco-lapse of the world economy. foreseeable consequences, so at the moment it can be stated that china is preparing to carry out such an operation, this may happen in the medium term, but in the coming years, within one or two or three

years, we had a probability that it would happen and taiwan also predicts the same, so all its programs regarding the development of its defense they should end in about a few years, mr. yuri a little if we move away from china, but not for long but nevertheless, very hmm well, it is important for me to know your opinion about another yesterday of the incident i mean that the koreans were still flying towards each other as if the drone from the dprk had reached almost to seoul and of course the reaction of the south koreans uh-uh it’s all a coincidence just these two incidents in the same region yes, i think it’s absolutely coincidence, they have no connection with each other, in any case, we do not observe any indicators, we see indicators

regarding the fact that these two countries simultaneously carried out such actions , synchronized in time. i think it is absolutely a coincidence that the north korean regime, given its very serious dependence on china, still retains enough of its independence and takes many actions that the people's republic of china does not like, including is developing its nuclear weapons. and if you look, for example, at the assessments of chinese specialists , chinese military experts with whom we personally spoke for example over the past few months, they say that the consequence of the russian ukrainian war was the intensification of, let's say, confrontations, including in the asia-pacific region region and references to militarization, and where ukraine is seriously considering the possibility of acquiring nuclear weapons, for example, this is happening in south korea, currently there in expert and political there are discussions in circles about the fact that

threats from the north korean regime to the south are increasing significantly. north korea is strengthening its nuclear potential, and yet the possibility of the united states of america to provide defense protection, including against threats of a nuclear nature, is still under question. south korea is having discussions about the possibility of acquiring or developing its own nuclear weapons, so far these discussions are of such an informal nature that they are not the official position of the government and so on, but this suggests that, firstly , the militarization of the region is taking place; secondly, the countries of the region are reassessing their , let's say, security, defense threats and military budgets are increasing ; third, there is, let's say, the study of new new threats including from the side of china , including from the side of er north

korea regarding what was recently mentioned and so on. i think that er this incident between the two koreas will not lead to any serious consequences let's put it this way but south korea will review the capabilities of its air defense because the presence of drones in the area, let's say, on the territory of south korea demonstrates the ineffectiveness of its air defense in terms of detecting and destroying such small-sized aircraft with speech at the symposium on international relations of the minister of foreign affairs of china one and e.e. china will seek to recalibrate its relations with the united states and expand ties with europe, we can read it that china has more or less decided whether is going to possibly decide on

whose side he is on, that is, to move away from neutrality in the war that russia has unleashed in ukraine, or are we wrong? i think that we are wrong , we are too optimistic about the actions of the people's republic of china because, uh, in fact, the documents are strategic documents of china and its political goals, they do not change, but the political goals are the achievement of world leadership, including the transformation into a technological military economic superpower and, accordingly, winning of strategic competition by the united states of america, the united states of america considers the people's republic of china as the main not only a competitor, but also possible adversaries, a military adversary, including the military of the people's liberation army of china, the defense defense-industrial complex is preparing very intensively for, let's say, establishing dominance in e- e in the area

around the people's republic of china, including this may cause a military conflict in the united states of america, so if we let's look at the strategic documents, including the results of the 20th congress of the chinese political party, which was held recently, at the report that we have, and let's say at other statements, such uh, fundamental statements of the chinese leadership. we currently do not have any signs that the people's republic of china is somehow trying to actually improve relations with the united states of america and the european union, but despite that. for example, here in taiwan, experts say that such statements of china's willingness to improve relations, they will, they will happen, but they will not, let's say, lead to some serious fundamental changes, because it is important for china to demonstrate peace-loving readiness for dialogue , readiness for constructive, let's say, relations, because currently both sides,

china and the united states of america, are in such a mode strategic competition and they are trying to prevent the transition of contour-competition strategies to confrontations, this indicates that the parties are ready for dialogues, they were preparing to work in many let's say so many spheres eh however, they both understand that eh let's say so the confrontation is intensifying but they are trying not to intensify it prematurely eh, did i understand you correctly in this situation he does not want and it is not profitable for him to weaken russia on the international map a i am saying this based on the interview of the ambassador of china to the eu by skyen news , he clearly said that we are not interested in spoiling relations with ukraine and russia, because these two countries are our friends, so with whom is china closer to russia and not here will bother

this country will come out with a clearer position and will not fish here, as they say, between the drops. i think that the probability that china will take a clear position is very, very unlikely. i predict this from the very beginning of a full-scale invasion of the russian federation into ukraine. we are currently studied, let's say, the statements of practically all the statements of the political leadership of the people's republic of china, in addition to this, we, uh, we had dialogue and expert discussions with representatives of the expert environment of the fire environment, because those who are affiliated directly with by the ministry of foreign affairs and the ministry of defense, and so far the possibility of such a statement of a clearer e-e from the side of china is considered as very unlikely. therefore, e-e, china will not change its position for the time being. of course, such a position is extremely important for china and are relatively connected states of america and with the european union, but they still increasingly

have such a characteristic that the united states of america imposes restrictions on the export of e-e high-tech semiconductors and technologies to the people's republic of china wary of the fact that china is trying to turn into a technological state and to strengthen, including its defense potential, the european union also, let's say more, views china as a challenge to its interests, values, and, let's say , other issues, we for example, we can also observe recently the results of the summit of the north atlantic alliance, in which china is called a long-term challenge to the interests of the values ​​of nato and so on, so it is of course important for china so far at the moment, do not spoil relations with the west, try to preserve it because it is a very

important ring and very important sources of technology, but china will not take any actions that could damage its relations with the russian federation, and even if china buys energy carriers from russia at large discounts federation, he still buys them, which means that the russian federation is also interested in this because it gives the opportunity to the economy of russia to remain afloat and to finance, including the military, these expenses. therefore for now let's just say that the deterioration of relations between russia and china is considered a very, very unlikely scenario. yuriy, very briefly, we know that china is currently in economic trouble, if not to say problems are on the fingers, please explain what they consist of and whether there will be any manifestation on the international arena, here are these economic

troubles, please, very briefly, if very briefly, the economic crisis of the people's republic of china, for the most part, arose due to two reasons, the first reason is the policy of zero tolerance to from 19 because china instead in order to carry out an effective let's say vaccination of the own population er and such an all- encompassing vaccination of the own population he er he applied this policy, he actually closed entire cities, districts, settlements and not without giving the possibility of population migration migration of people er let's say er the possibilities of such communication between businesses, he closed those in the area in which cases were detected, let's say cases from 19 and so on, he followed this path, he actually turned out this method to be ineffective and

there is currently a serious very serious and large outbreak of e-e disease on 19 due to this policy of zero tolerance business both internally and externally was effectively blocked in the people's republic of china this caused a decrease in growth in china's gross domestic product of course even a decrease in a few percent, it does not affect it globally because china is one of the largest economies in the world. it is the second economy in the world and even, let's say, fluctuations in several percent, they are causing a change in the world markets, that is why we are currently observing such a situation, in addition to this , there is also such a very complex geopolitical situation around china, because more and more countries consider china as a challenge , as a threat after, including from the west, they are trying to limit their investments in china they are trying to

communicate less with those who are considered sensitive, it is about high technologies and smart places and so on, this also affects the situation and mr. yuri, what will china do in the near future, we don't have time to wait any longer. i think that china will wait for several years, it will not make any drastic changes in its internal foreign policy, but after these few years come, it will make a decision about which path will be the most optimal for the implementation of his task. thank you very much, mr. yury poeta, the head of the section on the military of the pacific region of the center of research of the army of conversion and disarmament was with us in this block after of a full-scale invasion of russia, consumer inflation is breaking all records, products especially are increasing in price in less than a week of the new year, so let's

see together with you how much the festive table will cost this year, let's calculate how much more expensive new year's treats have become compared to 2021. for for example, let's take an average family and buy products for four people in 2021, ukrainians could invest in the amount of about two thousand , but for this year's festive table, it will be necessary to spend uah 2,698, because the usual set rose in price by 33%. the standard new year's menu of almost every ukrainian is olivier salads and herring under a fur coat, sliced ​​sandwiches with sprats and caviar, meat, vegetables, fruits, drinks , olivier salad has increased in price by almost half , now it will cost uah 423 in 2021, this price was twice the smaller of the ingredients , everything went up in price except for potatoes, the strongest price increase was sausage, pickled cucumbers, eggs and mayonnaise,

cooking herring under a fur coat will cost about uah 174, the largest part of this amount is herring, about uah 100 for 700 g last year, such a salad would have cost uah 108. as for meat dishes, this year they will be 25% more expensive. if you take a kg of pork and a kilogram and a half of poultry for the festive table, the price will be 287 uah for the new year's cut, you will have to spend more than half a thousand because it has risen in price by as much as 25%, 300 g of bacon now costs about 136 uah , the same amount of smoked sausage 200, and for hard cheese you need will pay almost one and a half hundred as far as olives and bread are concerned, now they are the same price for such products sandwiches with sprats and salmon caviar will cost about uah 27, on average , sandwiches with sprats and salmon roe will cost uah 450, compared to 2021, the cost

of these dishes has increased by 28%. caviar has risen in price to almost hundreds of sprats to 53, and butter to 68. for vegetables on the new year's table, ukrainians will have to pay almost 140 uah from their pockets , although cucumbers have become cheaper for the year, but tomatoes, on the contrary, have significantly increased in price by 70% , and fruits, mandarins and bananas , are now more expensive will cost 125 hryvnias, alcohol has become more expensive this year by a third, and the cost of non-alcoholic drinks has almost doubled , currently everything costs about uah 35, and sweet carbonated drinks are over uah 30, and we are now in touch yuriy gavrilechko, economic expert, mr. yuriy, good night, congratulations. so, inflation is breaking records, prices are creeping up according to your forecasts for next year, what will we we will see the wall of formations in ukraine, which products

will become more expensive in the future and whether the government will be able to restrain such rapid growth, it is very difficult to make such forecasts, since inflation will most likely continue and next year, this year, despite the war, we did not reach record indicators for the last 10 years of broadcasting, which were observed in 2015, when inflation was higher than 42%. now, if you compare the latest data from the state statistics, there are november to november. last year, these are food products from the state for 35, not one tenth of a percent, in general, we have 26.5% of consumers. it is counterintuitive to note that different products and different goods become more expensive in different ways, and accordingly, most likely, we will not see on

the program in the first quarter of next year a very significant increase in the prices of eggs and lard, which have already increased significantly during the year. however, fruits will definitely continue to rise in price, it will be because you are a vegetable. well, the exception to this will be potatoes, that is, it is unlikely that they will rise in price significantly . the war and how the parliament and the government will behave in the future are primarily due to two things and firstly or finally the government and the parliament have understood the ukrainian economy should go on a military track because a lot needs to be done from this

first of all, let the parliament pass the appropriate law on a special legal regime in the event of war and, accordingly, the president should use the provisions of paragraph 19 of article 106 of the constitution of ukraine to make a corresponding submission and finally, in this way, through the verkhovna rada , this law should enter into force, because it is not only certain legal points - it is a completely different system of organization of executive power and local power with priority development of those industries that should work for the war and at the same time with the unblocking of the state orders with the same priority items

- but still, we each have to draw up a plan for the future for ourselves, and you just told us about what awaits the ukrainians , in particular in the matter of pricing, this is very important because here we have to be frugal and pragmatic because the war is going on thank you to you for joining for a comment, yuriy gavrilechko, an economic expert, has just been in direct contact with the studio about the most important thing, vera sverdlik will tell you more, be with us , you are the one who writes our new story every day and we thank you that i can drink coffee and thank you i really want to share it with you. thank you for life. thank you for being able to breathe with yourself in the same language.
