2:02 am
an apartment building was damaged by fire and rescue units, and citizens were evacuated. uh, the removal of debris today, this work continues. well and in in general, but according to the shelling e for the last day for june 9, and 22 people were killed. in the town of stakhanov, which was also pierced by two rockets, the main work has already been done and is now underway to destroy the last sources of fire. we try to work quite carefully. here, follow the behavior of the structure so that nothing collapses anywhere and look under mine for the townspeople. it was a landmark
2:03 am
place for the stadium for 100 years, and inside there was a modern gym, my home gym since i was 15 years old. i went there to play sports, took care of my health. here to live with their future met. that's it. well, that's all, it's in the past, now a broken apartment building, now you can't enter in the usual way and preserved apartments, the survivors take out their things, using the presented stairs. neighboring stand completely destroyed up to the first floor. evacuating what we can through the balcony, then take-out, at least pick up valuable things. repair everything is done in the apartment, the knife is everything space shelling will not stop until the nazis have weapons capable of causing such damage, the offensive of our units and the destruction of ukrainian firing positions will ensure the security of donbass, the immediate goal is to push the enemy back. as far as possible, eliminate as many artillery crews as possible and cover the enemy grouping that has settled in lisichansk, all
2:04 am
tasks are methodically carried out by nikolai dolgachev azat agonov vladimir averin massive military deliveries to ukraine from kiev directly to the black market materials of our program obstinacy balkan europe laurel plane was not allowed into serbia the powder keg is still smoking. it is hard to remember when at the highest world level there
2:05 am
would have been so much talk about armaments. in the most applied sense, no wars around the world did not stop, but over the past decades. we are accustomed to a certain type of hostilities - a clash of obviously unequal rivals, when a major power, whether it be the ussr or the usa, russia or france, entered into conflict with countries that are not comparable to them, the result was clear from the outset. so the question of the ratio of weapons was not so fundamental now, otherwise the fighting. comparable forces are leading in ukraine. the very nature of operations is largely determined by the quality and quantity of weapons, hence the discussions on this topic of different intensity and content, in particular, about how increasing supplies to the ukrainian country will change the course of the company. it is very difficult to give an accurate assessment of all arms deliveries to ukraine. at the beginning of june, the united states apparently handed over
2:06 am
more than $4 billion worth of weapons and military equipment to ukraine, in particular, since february 24, kiev received more than 6.5 thousand javel anti-tank missile systems, 1,400 stinger anti-aircraft systems, more than 200 m113 armored personnel carriers, several hundred armored suvs hamve 108 , m-77 howitzers and 220,000 shells for them. in addition, the united states supplied ukraine with 20 soviet-made mi-17 multi-purpose helicopters, as well as four multiple launch rocket systems. fire hars, these versions are capable of firing at a distance of about 780 km, on april 25, polish prime minister mateusz marowiecki officially announced that his government had already sent. polish tanks to ukraine in addition, warsaw supplied ukraine with combat vehicles, several dozen grad multiple launch rocket launchers and about 20
2:07 am
self-propelled howitzers 2s1 carnations with infantry. this contract was not specified. czech republic supplied kyiv several dozen t-72 tanks, more than 50 infantry fighting vehicles and hail installations. in general, in general, in recent months. ukraine received various types of weapons and military equipment from australia, great britain, hungary, poland, germany, the czech republic and some other countries. however, the longer the campaign, the greater the need, the more acute the questions are, where to get such a volume of weapons, what types of weapons should be supplied, and which ones are not. and finally, where all this will end up. today. we will deal with an excellent specialist and our
2:08 am
good comrades ruslan pukhov ruslan hello good afternoon. ah. let's start with quantity. now they are writing that in the west they are writing so anxiously that soviet weapons and the fact that their derivatives are running out will no longer be everywhere and there is nothing to supply, does this mean that the era of soviet weapons is ending in the world? no, no, they are slightly different things. the fact is that initially at the beginning of the cold war there were, as it were, two branches of the development of weapons. that's what they were called truths, so westanteknul. yes, that is there m16 is western technology kalashnikov there is an instant-21 there is phantom yes, respectively it is absolutely obvious that now this dichotomy is absolutely false. that there are, uh, wonderful weapons that the same turkey produces rocktar, probably, it would be better if the rocktar is only a ripper in this scheme for the american there are excellent weapons from south korea, uh, a country that supplies not only third world countries norway sweden buys the usa buys there what -the
2:09 am
number of south korean weapons, so the epoch does not end. she is transforming. and if we talk about specific reserves, we must remember that the western world is often through a proxy with the help of, say. and the saudis, with the help of the united arab emirates and the katorians, have been vacuuming all the warehouses in central eastern europe and a number of other regions where there were soviet weapons for the last 10 years, or, as it were, according to the true model, they also delivered it to syria because yes, there were known cases , there is china's bubble which clearly had to, qatar yes was a well-known case of the table, but basically all sides. there they fought with soviet weapons. yes, it could have been produced in the dprk, it could have been produced in iran, but they were, as it were, clones of soviet russian weapons, somewhere legal, somewhere illegal, and one of the reasons. why is ukraine now lacking, because those huge reserves that they were already largely under uh were squandered uh
2:10 am
in the civil war. and well, these reserves are renewable or they are really renewable, but you have to remember. what shall we say? the same countries of central eastern europe e, they refused, as it were, from the soviet heritage. yes , and a number of productions were, and the liquidation went bankrupt on or somehow transformed. there, the technological chains in czechoslovakia were broken, so let's say we hope that we are serious. they will produce tanks, there is a t-72 somewhere for the ukrainians. no, i was very smiled at this story that the greeks decided, so to speak, there, given that these weapons came to greece in the ninety-fourth ninety-third year from the gdr that is, to all of them for more than 30 years there were no spare parts for them, so from this large number there are several dozen. there are one and a half hundred, i think, at best, 20 pieces can be collected. so they crumble with a high degree, so it’s not always when you hear some beautiful phrase. this
2:11 am
means that all these e, all these units will appear there, say, within two weeks on the battlefield. but now they are talking about the fact that if ukraine is supplied with the most modern weapons, the russians will seize it and develop it and understand. like him do. this is true, and there are concerns. and it really is, i will say more. i took a chance e from the screen. this tv. yes, your program to urge the russian authorities not only to develop and do something like that. give it to all the enemies of the west like, uh, north korea like iran, and to strange pursuing an independent foreign policy like china let them also promote and do the same to themselves, so that next time they think twice before transferring modern weapons to russia's enemies, we have a good lecture hall. i think it will resonate. uh, the discussion around the multiple launch rocket system, how typical is it that the supplier says we will supply you , but you will only shoot here, but you do
2:12 am
n’t shoot here. here, according to the experience of conflicts, in general, portable zenith missile systems seemed to be the biggest threat until recently, and several aircraft were lost. but, when you can imagine that uh multiple launch rocket systems will be delivered, a hall of western production, primarily american, and the launch range of these missiles is greater than our agrads. accordingly, we have 20 km. they have much more. therefore, in these artillery duels , they can shoot us, i’ll say more in a number of hotheads in ukraine, there may be a desire to actually strike at targets, er, in the depths of russia, let’s say. we have large settlements, even small towns like the gai raven, and which from the ukrainian side can simply be fired upon and cause serious damage, so, probably, the americans and a number of europeans understand that there is a whole range, and limiters, which in general can infuriate
2:13 am
russia. therefore, if at least some rules remain, it will always allow, then to establish a dialogue. if there are no rules left, it will not seem to anyone, this happened unconditionally. it's just that usually it is not advertised due to the fact that the last 20 years are summer, especially 10 years. this is, so to speak, twitter diplomacy. everyone rushes to declare in real time. yes, we helped drown moscow, we helped kill russian generals. do you know this reminds the story that in in general. uh, probably a fairly large number of the adult population of the planet, both men and women, have some other connections besides their spouses, but usually no one declares this on the air. yes, a does not write on twitter, but for some reason it prevailed here. uh, another different point of view. according to the un, the income from the illegal arms trade exceeds 10 billion dollars a year, and in terms of profitability they are second only to drug trafficking,
2:14 am
the international illegal arms market. can be divided into actually criminal black and quasi-criminal sulfur. in the first case, mainly small arms are sold in small batches, in the second case, we are talking not only about light weapons, but also about large deliveries of heavy weapons, behind which, as a rule, are corrupt state structures, the military-industrial complex and high-ranking military, and not only developing , but also highly developed countries as a major illegal supplier of weapons, the united states remained so during the war in afghanistan of the seventy- ninth to eighty-ninth years. cia via front companies bought soviet-made weapons in the warsaw pact countries and sent them to pakistan, where did the weapons go to the afghan militants? or erangeld, who nearly cost ronald reagan the presidency in 1986, learned that the united states was secretly
2:15 am
selling spare parts for american tank fighters to iran, despite its own embargo, and the proceeds were sent to the nicaraguan contrast black market for arms. was very important for countries under un sanctions such as iran and cancer, north korea after the collapse of the ussr , ukraine became the largest supplier of illegal weapons from the soviet army, it inherited a large inheritance, practically. all valuable military equipment was sold abroad. in the nineties , ukrainian weapons were ever supplied to afghanistan, and to the northern alliance. it also secretly went to iraq to syria, libya, and according to some reports, during the reign of mikhail saakashvili , ukraine sold t-72 tanks to georgia for 250,000 dollars apiece. market price of $1 million the head of interpol recently quite officially stated
2:16 am
that a significant part of the weapons that are supplied to ukraine are very likely to fall into completely different hands and rocky criminals, and again, based on the experience of those conflicts that we know over the past decades. how real it is. the first wave of a large distribution of weapons in the nineties was from the balkans; the second big wave began after the fall of yanukovych ; by a territorial battalion even then it was a big headache for europe, primarily the continental, but also for other corners of the world now it is quite obvious. these weapons splatter, and the big ones in very waves. you especially understand if you get a kalashnikov assault rifle or a pistol or a machine gun or even an rpg nine rpg-7 in your hands. you
2:17 am
can sell it for a few hundred, huh? dollars, and if you fall into the hands of a javelin, you can sell it for 5-6-7 thousand dollars, respectively, there will always be buyers there will be sellers. i am deeply convinced that, let's say, the russian special services are already doing this and are also buying it out through one channel or another. well , firstly, because to look, and secondly, because, well, just less of our tankers will die and in the same way, mm private, various kinds of criminal structures. and i'm willing to bet it won't even be 24 months. somewhere in mexico, some of these stocks are found in some cartels, the same thing will pop up in africa , and even more so in the middle east when there are weapons there is a demand, it remains only a matter of time how quickly it, e, will spread and how quickly, in fact, it will hit directly or indirectly the countries that supply these weapons to the same
2:18 am
americans, to the same british, maybe not on their territory, but on their citizens, but in the third world, well, the question to which i suspect that i know the answer, but still such is the atmosphere, military in the world, does this probably mean that the military-industrial complex is already rubbing its hands everywhere and ready to increase appetites are preparing acquire large sums of money and should we expect an arms race? you know there is a direct correlation between appetites, but there is no military-industrial complex and the arms race, because there are always military men, there are always politicians as a spacer. but what any war heats up is the arms market. look like uh owners. uh, the tale of the actor's armakin producers is dizzy. yes, one of them is already declaring huge plans there and a desire to sell to the whole world there, but it is quite obvious that these ritual hmm and not at the same
2:19 am
munich conference, but european arms manufacturers, that we are lagging behind, that here the americans are doing well. everything is bad with us. and now they are definitely rubbing their hands, thank you. ruslan pukhov, director of the technology strategy analysis center, was with us. last week, the balkans again got into the spotlight before the current events, the last war in europe was there, but already relatively long ago at the end of the last century. since then, the region has experienced various cataclysms, thank god only politically, however , the history of the powder magazine of europe is stormy , nothing can be ruled out, and to such an extent it is impossible that even the most powerful man in the world , the president of the united states, and he feared nato membership implies that we are obliged to defend any country, take montenegro why on earth? should my son go there to protect
2:20 am
montenegro from attack? i have exactly the same question, montenegro is a very small country with very strong people or albania is a very strong people. very aggressive people. they attacked someone and congratulate. you are already in the third world war. a fair scandal came out then with this statement a fresh informational reason for the refusal of bulgaria to north macedonia and that very aggressive montenegro, according to trump, to let the plane of foreign minister sergey lavrov pass he was supposed to fly to belgrade on a visit, the russian authorities did not fly and president vučić is indignant the authorities of obstinate countries shrug nothing personal just european sanctions in serbia itself, by the way, the reaction is different, including. and why was this visit needed at all right now, only geese. in the sense of teasing europe. and
2:21 am
the political situation in the balkans, let's talk with alexander pivovarenko from the institute of slavic studies of the russian academy of sciences alexander hello a. can we now say that russia has any general policy towards the balkans as a whole? or it all breaks up into separate countries, and a feature of russian foreign policy is high adaptability at the beginning of the 2000s, but when the current regional structure stabilized, and russia accepted it and tried to integrate into it as much as possible. yes, this was done in the middle of the 2000s. this is enough. were interesting. uh, interesting projects opportunities. although, probably, not everything was fully realized and many chances were missed, but the fact is that the architects of this system, uh, who created it, and at one moment, but decided to revise it and this process he happens quite slowly architect. you mean, here in the balkans. yes, i mean sooner. uh,
2:22 am
let's say, from the euro-atlantic world from the european system of international relations. russia has some separate elements here. it is, for example, the guarantor of active peace agreements. but, and the basic rules they were not written by us. we rather accepted them. uh, and when these rules began to be revised in the same bosnia-herzegovina in other regions. eh, we didn't quite. e, they are ready for this and began to worry very much, therefore, about, and metaphorically, this can be compared with a cherry orchard, and with aneiskaya, who worries about the passing times, there is yermolaya lopakhin from brussels, who has a specific plan, and according to the development of this forest, ranevskaya yearns. e, yermalai lopahi, persistent. and as we recall, yes, in the background already. the sound of axes cutting is heard. this is the best taxes it's kind of very ah but
2:23 am
um. see how it ends for everyone. nobody was badly hurt. it seems to me that the chekhovs are here, well, they just forgot the firs. who is the firs in this story is interesting, this firs, it seems to me, is president vučić, who generally found himself between a rock and a hard place, on the one hand, he seems to be pro-russian and very, so to speak, rather the pro-russian mood in serbia, while all things must be done from europe, so here they are. here's what to do, but in my opinion. uh, serbian foreign policy is determined by two circumstances. the first is the motive of national survival. the fact is that in the 20th century serbia experienced, but in fact, three national catastrophes. world war i, world war ii in the 1990s, every fifth person suffered heavy human losses. every tenth world war ii died in the first world war, and the service definitely does not want a repeat of this disasters. they don't want damage. yes, that is, but if you wait - how is it? it seems to me, their installation, but on the other hand. if we look again at the structure of relations in the region, it turns out that the situation for serbia is not so
2:24 am
bad, because in recent years a lot of investments have come to the region along european lines, and more than 14 billion euros not only in serbia yes the entire region yes but serbia is one of the main recipients of this money. and there is not only this money, but there is a big update infrastructure, new ports, new railways, it-sphere, and new companies come to serbia and , to some extent, other countries. is it not the same periphery as it was last or 10 in the expert environment here? i refer rather to such a euro-atlantic opinion. yes, there is such a thesis that the foreign policy neutrality of serbia and it concerns only the military sphere, that is, we occupy military neutrality, and we are not a politically neutral state. yes, we are still committed to one line or another, but this emphasized the position of the state. it is rather an expert position, a state position. she is more cautious, but, but here the motive is clearly expressed,
2:25 am
so to speak, but ligism. that is, this is a reliance on international law, and an attempt to prick is to catch. uh, both sides are not only moscow but also brussels for everyone. people's precedents yes, and the kosovo situation is very much used here, again, i repeat, not only for moscow's emphasis, but also for reproach to the forces that, in principle, this region from serbia is appropriate here. remind, of course, that ukraine is a country which did not recognize kosovo and does not recognize kosogo for its own reasons, and here there is a certain motive for mutual understanding, of course, for belgrade as well. and here is kursovsky, uh, the factor of the kosovo problem vučić. uh, then, it seems, as he participated in some attempts , uh, to agree to find a political solution, then , on the contrary, he took a sharp position in the bottom line. now something is happening on the part of the settlement. or will it all go sideways. a. well, look at the kosovo situation. it is somewhere
2:26 am
characterized by a standard speaker. there periodically there are some kind of bursts in bursts of incidents, but this has been happening, in principle, for many years. e. periodicity here, probably there is nothing new, but the question is much more interesting, again, what is the structure of regional relations here ? , include macedonia and albania and which, uh, are now forming a kind of integration association that is not the european union, but is in its sphere interests. this is called the open balkans or the balkan skill, and here it is actually an interesting situation. because if you look at some regional diplomatic agenda, it turns out that in the creation of this regional union it can be called a customs union, or some kind of economic union there, it turns out that, and serbia and albania, that is,
2:27 am
early they are somewhere interested in the fact that it took place. but kosovo, that is, first of all, it sabotages these efforts in every possible way. ah, i justify this is because, firstly, and this is not european integration. this is not honored in the eu and we want now in the eu in an oblique way in prishne they want eu membership, but on the other hand. uh, they're talking about belgrade's so-called economic expansion. and this is confirmed. because if you remember a few years ago, before they even introduced customs barriers of 200% duty on serbian goods a and e, pristina, these efforts are sabotaged quite consistently and it turns out that serbia albania yes they have a common interest somewhere, somewhere to appease this one here quite a destructive position. it is believed that bosnia is a constant and unremitting headache, because there was once a treaty of deity, but since then
2:28 am
national building has not advanced much. russia has been accused more than once. uh, the europeans of the americans is that she allegedly breaks up blocky flirting, what's going on there now? 3 months ago, on february 28, representatives of the republika srpska, miloradodik, announced that bosnia and herzegovina would not join any of the western sanctions against russia politician also stressed that the bosnian serbs will not support bosnia's entry into nato, which is especially important during the current crisis in ukraine ethnic groups of bosnians, slavs, orthodox serbs who converted to islam and catholic croats. all important decisions in bosnia must be made by consensus of the three parties. true, the last word
2:29 am
remains not even behind them, but behind the foreign supreme, whose representative is appointed by the un security council, this is a foreigner, equidistant from all conflicting parties. has exclusive powers for almost 12 years, this post was held by an austrian slovene. valentin intsko, and on august 1, 2021, he was replaced by a german, christian schmid nosov could not approve his candidacy due to the position of russia and china moscow and beijing want to abolish the post of high representative so that bosnia can become truly sovereign the collective west opposes the state. different eras we will have a child.
2:32 am
appears in press narratives. the idea that bosnia and herzegovina is destined to supposedly break up into several parts, ah, but it seems to me that this is not the only possible future for this territorial entity is numb, but perhaps the scenario of, er, some internal transformations of political transformations, is more likely, and related to the shifts elite will follow that, and the big question, of course, and the possibility of some kind of crisis, eh, but uh, i would say that there is e that, here is the second scenario, it is somewhat more likely. and what is the problem of bosnia herzegovina and the current political system is very complex, built on many compromises. it really provides stability, but
2:33 am
economically it is stability, it is provided by external funding, mainly european funding and in our terminology. this is south dota lost region and uh definitely not arranges. uh, some european countries. this does not suit germany and the new so-called high representative. this viceroy of the european union is essentially a german christian schmid. what is curious, if earlier regular diplomats were usually appointed to this position, then christian sht he, in the past was the minister of agriculture of the german government, that is, in fact, they sent a business executive to the south to rake alone, as they say, some well-known principles . ours was exactly the same. here and uh if we let's look at some german sources, they talk about the need to establish a tough hand, and the pressure on the local elites, and the question is, uh hmm where this can lead thanks,
2:34 am
alexander pivovarenko from the institute for guidance conditions of the balkans and surroundings was with us , more precisely, southeastern europe, the space is more than saturated with military potentials according to the global fire power analytical center, turkey has the strongest army in the balkan region, it is also the main pillar of nato forces in the balkans, its armed the force consists of over 700,000 men, 3,000 tanks and 11,000 armored vehicles, hundreds of artillery pieces and rocket launchers. including the russian s-400 anti-aircraft missile system , more than 600 aircraft are in the service of the turkish air force, of which 200 are fighters. mostly american in 16, the turkish navy is also the most powerful in the region, half as many people serve in the greek army, but that’s all. also more than a thousand
2:35 am
tanks. about 6,000 armored vehicles and over 150 rocket launchers. the air force is still inferior turkish, and the park of the military fleet. comparable with turkish only by the number of frigates of submarines and patrol ships, the corvette does not have its greeks, in general, and mine tra to, only three armed forces of romania serve 100,000 soldiers and officers, there are american patriot and m142 highmars missile launchers, but the romanian air force is represented by outdated instant fighters -21 and 60 helicopters are also mostly, the soviet naval forces are also weak frigate queen mary, the former british f-95. london was launched almost half a century ago the armed forces. serbia has about 80.000 soldiers officers 300 tanks and 1.200 armored vehicles. in recent years. the country received six
2:36 am
mig-29s free of charge from russia, 30 armored reconnaissance patrol vehicles brdms and t-72ms tanks serbian fleet of military aircraft, represented by 10 fighters and 17 attack aircraft, as well as 50 helicopters, of which four uda although the country does not have access to the sea, but the river flotilla of the croatian army operates on the danube, half the size of the serbian. by number, the composition is similar to the situation with armored vehicles, tanks and artillery installations, only croatian missile systems are larger than serbia, the country does not have attack helicopters, but 12 fighters. four of them were purchased in ukraine and the modernized mig-21 in the army of bulgaria, the basis of the air force are soviet su-25. last year, the country signed a contract for the purchase of 12 french-made rafael fighters that will replace the mig-21 and mig-21 bis. less than 10,000
2:37 am
people serve in the slovenian army, while the military the country's budget of 550 million dollars allows spending much more per soldier than its balkan neighbors. the turn of the century swept through the balkans crushingly from the most prosperous socialist state, which many envied to painful fragmentation through national religious wars and external interference. then it seems to be the end of history in the european union and that's it, and here europe is in a fever. nobody knows what the european project will be like in 5-10 years, but for the balkans there is no other scenario than integration into the eu was not envisaged. no, plan b but wait for new upheavals for all societies. depopulation is typical there, because so many have left their countries, an acute problem of aging.
2:38 am
ask an ordinary person in zagreb that if , because of ukraine, the entire european union will shut down at the seams, if a big war starts, the answer you will get is that we are all too tired to fight. look at politicians. they periodically wave warlike banners, but to whom to fight, people leave, they send home translations. them. need work. earnings, of course , there are veterans who are unhappy, but they are no longer warriors of age. so the return of the wars of the nineties is unlikely. in extreme cases, socio-economic chaos and instability. but yes no plan b. no, that's completely accurate. we often said the collapse of the ussr was sparing, we were lucky to avoid the worst yugoslav scenario, the scenario was hurried in our open spaces, the demarcation with the new drawing of borders turned out to be simply postponed. what the yugoslav experience teaches has not returned the craving for the former unity, of course, the imagination
2:39 am
of people is present nostalgia is quite common even in croatia, many people talk about the past. what a good time social justice stability was, there was no need to worry about tomorrow, but these are nothing more than images. there are no organized political forces that would appeal to yugoslav ideals. the legacy of the war is too strong to dream of a revival. i must say that they remember that era. in general , positively with more sympathy than here in russia i remember the soviet union in general, there is no turning back, only forward, whatever it means after advertising, we will go to the other hemisphere , the america summit this year. special and also influenced by events in distant eastern europe
2:40 am
in los angeles, the america summit was held the meeting of the leaders of all american states the previous one was in 2018 around the forums there was always enough noise, as a rule, because of the conflict between washington and havana, and then caracas, but everything this year especially. nervously, the biden administration did not invite autocrats to the event heads of venezuelan cuba. and nicaragua, in response, changed their minds to go the leaders of mexico, bolivia, honduras , guatemala and el salvador sent lower-level delegations, and the president of brazil was sonar. right before the trip and the first meeting with biden, donald trump’s like-minded person publicly doubted that he honestly won the elections of the twentieth
2:41 am
year, biden’s leitmotif is democracy of all countries, unite against russia and china, the second in the region is very, actual beijing is methodically expanding cooperation with latin american states. and the mood. in the region, let's talk with juan pablo prada lallanda professor at the independent university of benami rita in mexico why this time there is a lot of discontent around this summit there is a political and ideological fragmentation of the whole world and latin america - part of this we cannot forget the time of trump when the us was derailed and multilateral cooperation and integration ideas the united states wants to consolidate its position on the world stage, and in the western hemisphere, first of all, in order to resist expansion. china but the united states wants everyone to play by their rules, namely that the participants meet the formal criteria of democracy, so they exclude some countries. this does not enjoy the support of many other
2:42 am
states; as a result, not unification, but disunity takes place. however. the text itself is somewhat unfavorable entangled rather strangely insisting on a democracy versus autocracy approach. but at the same time, he wants venezuelan oil to return to the market. isn't there a very serious challenge ahead of american policy, of course against the backdrop of the ukrainian crisis. the us needs oil. the natural source of venezuela in mexico, for example, is simply not enough oil, but for this it is necessary to establish relations with venezuela, formal and informal maduro. we need us support to maintain power, however, it is not yet clear whether the americans are ready to go for it if the war and the crisis continue, i think washington will have to meet caracas, it will be interesting to see. december 2, 1823 annual in a message to congress, us president james monroe
2:43 am
outlined the basic principles of his policy towards the states of the american continent. the idea to declare these territories of the zone closed to the intervention of european powers belonged to john quincey. addams to the secretary of state of the monroe administration, later adams himself would become president, the reason was the plans of the holy alliance of russia, prussia, austria to return the spanish rule over the latin american colonies, which proclaimed independence, the monroe doctrine was the answer the united states should not to interfere in the internal affairs of european countries, and the state of europe in the internal affairs of america, any attempts by european powers to impose their political system on the american state or to acquire new colonies in the western hemisphere were considered as hostile actions and an attack on us national security but this did not interfere with the united states themselves pursue a non
2:44 am
-colonial policy on the continent, later the monroe doctrine was repeatedly used to justify us intervention in affairs latin american states, for example, to justify the invasion of mexico in 1846 or to explain the entry into the war with spain in 1898, after which almost all spanish colonies in the pacific ocean crossed the caribbean sea. the united states remembered the doctrine and during the intervention in cuba in haiti nicaragua panama the monroe doctrine was in effect for almost two centuries until the united states abandoned it in 2013. everyone knows the historical monroe doctrine, the last time they recalled it in washington was under trump. and now she acts the us understands that latin america is no longer their backyard. we are now different nationalism is increasing here. and it has a
2:45 am
growing influence on our foreign policy. this summit only confirms this. you see how many countries refuse to accept the line that the united states is proposing . american influence in the region is declining and this is another challenge. their foreign policy is already too many challenges. biden. i would like to use this summit to consolidate american positions, but now it won't work when you talk about nationalism. this is nationalism of various kinds, left right, so quite right. latin america is extremely diverse. this is a kind of vanilla cauldron, there are both left and right and different types of nationalism. but it grows all over the place , no good in that. because nationalism leads to fragmentation of the region, and the summit - it only aggravates. and what feelings do the conflict in ukraine evoke in latin america? we see that the countries of the region as a whole are trying, well, sort of refrain from expressing a position, well, first
2:46 am
of all, these events look from here, very far away, of course, no one supports the war in latin america itself suffered enough from the violence of wars and invasions, by the way, primarily from invasions from the united states the united states at the end of 19 at the beginning of the 20th century, they occupied cuba twice during the second occupation; the american base guantanama bay was founded there in 1915-1916 by the american expeditionary force under the command of a general. john pershing invaded several hundred miles into mexico in 1912, the united states captured and occupied nicaragua for 20 years, and from 1915 to 34 haiti from 1916 to 24, american troops were in the dominican republic and in the

sixty-fifth they organized military coups there held puppet elections on april 17, sixty-one, the united states tried overthrow fidel. castro on the playa giron. one and a half thousand cuban mercenaries trained and equipped by the cia landed, but they were unless you mikaster troops for 3 days on september 11, 73 in chile, with the support of the united states, the military path of the president took place alienda sverk, one of his former associates , general august, pinochet, a military dictatorship reigned in the country in the seventy-seventh, the americans unleashed the civil war in el salvador, and on october 25, eighty-three, more than 7,000 american troops invaded grenada, where the leftist government had been overthrown shortly before maurice bishop, but power was taken by his former companions after 6 years on december 20, 89
2:48 am
, the united states invaded panama, the goal was to overthrow the government of manuel in riga and establish regime loyal to washington, in order to keep the panama canal under control from 81 to 89, the united states provided the main military and financial support to the nicaraguan contrast. in their war with the marxist government of the sandinistas, we condemn the war, but many countries also reject sanctions, such as mexico, the positions of the mexican government - this is a signal not even to moscow, but to washington that we will not act on his instructions, we are different and we are independent. well, of course, the ukrainian conflict will have a great impact on world affairs for latin america is negative, we look at the huge financial assistance that the united states allocates to ukraine and we understand that nothing like latin america is close to us, it is losing some of its significance in the international arena. all attention,
2:49 am
again on europe, publishing america understands that the conflict began, actually not in february, 22 years. it just came to the culmination of a long process, when the united states involved ukraine in its sphere. yes, here they understand the difference between today's latin america, and they understand that there were several more years ago is that we have many more different sources of information thanks to the smartphone in modern communications. it's not like it used to be when cnn or the bbc were the main source. so there are a lot more different opinions than before, for example. compare the twitter of the russian and ukrainian embassies, mexico city, and there and there there is support for the mexicans, but i must say that the russian representation has more, in general, the russian position of latin america is gradually gaining. thanks to our mexican interlocutor. he says that nationalism emphasizes one's own identity, the main trend in latin america and what is more important for identity than
2:50 am
national symbols. for example, the capital of a report from argentina on december 6, 1880, buenos aires was officially declared the capital of the republic of argentina , even then it was the most populous city in the country, but then in a young country its population barely reached 500,000 inhabitants. today , about 3 million people permanently live in buenos aires and another 3 million. president alberta fernandez recently proposed moving the capital to province every day. i'm thinking about whether the capital should be somewhere other than buenos aires, maybe it should be moved to the north to give this part of the country all the potential that any capital has, maybe the ministry of the city, the mining industry, it is better to be in a mining province , and the ministry of fisheries to be somewhere in the fishing ports of patagonia, the whole life of the country
2:51 am
is concentrated in buenos aires. however, the thought of changing the capital already leaves the authorities somewhat in 1986. president raul alfonsin proposed to move the capital to the patagonia region, where cities such as vedma, rio negro and carmen de patagons are located, according to elfonsin. this was supposed to decentralize the country, reduce bureaucracy and territorially separate political power from economic power, it was planned to invest in the argentine province and revise government structures in general, transfer various political and representative functions to the south of the country, for example, the ministry and oil companies in cities like commander rio dave or trilla, but since patagonia was considered an underdeveloped region. this was doubtful, voiced by the incumbent president alberta fernandez, until it received development, there were no public opinion polls, so we went outside to find out what the people of buenos aires themselves think, but
2:52 am
lived in the province for some time. most felt the difference. buenos aires come for education and work in search of better opportunities, if the capital was in the center of the country, and not on the coast, people would have more work, all economic activity is concentrated. here, the capital of porto, i think that the transfer of the capital to the province would stimulate the development of the economy and tourism. it would help to better distribute goods. however, any medal. there are two sides. among the passers-by there are many who were not born in buenos aires, but at the same time, buenos aires is categorically against the transfer of the capital to another part of the country - this is buenos aires and will remain so. despite everything, this is our city, our culture, this question is not even worth raising on the park. i am against they want to transfer the
2:53 am
ministry to the province but all the documentation all the administrative part will remain here this will entail. add. not costly, there are cities that have an extensive system of public administration distributed over different regions, but they have a key element that is not found in argentina in many countries of the world, capitals are removed from the center due to a developed system of railways and roads, such as in paris or london that is, people can live 45 km from the capital, but at the same time get there quickly and without aires faces other problems that affect the well-being of the population, many of its residents, for example, do not have access to vital plumbing services and lack drinking water. it's all about the uneven distribution of the population, a third of all the inhabitants of the country are concentrated in a relatively small area. and as you know, the living conditions of people in large urban clusters are not
2:54 am
very good even after more than 30 years. many questions remain unanswered. really president alfonsin's project is still relevant now, but the question of where to get the budget to transfer the executive judicial and legislative power to another part of the country still remains open? the plot of the week was sergey lavrov's talks in ankara, where the issue of exporting grain, blocked by hostilities in ukraine, was discussed. the results are still unknown. although those involved make it clear that the process is productive, the topic of food. we have touched on it more than once and will return to it again. in the meantime, we note, one problem, is really important and there are two approaches to it; it seeks to avoid a shortage of food in the world and to do this, postpone
2:55 am
military-political conflicts for a while, or use this very shortage in order to obtain additional advantages in the mentioned collisions, let's join the opinion of eduard grain, chairman of the board of the russian union exporters of grain, which was voiced on thursday at a discussion in the club. valdai, by the way, after she intervened, again fau. the first time was probably a few weeks ago. they seriously stated that that the problem should be addressed for all involved. that is, both for ukraine and for russia, yes, then only real progress appeared. here. i just want to thank the organization for its contribution. that is, and if it is the fau that will be more persistent in solving these problems. i am sure that we can move on, that is, here, uh, in no case in our e-business in our history should there be right and wrong. that is, in our history everything works very simply. we are engaged in the production of grain and its sale by delivery. uh, as inside the country, those in need, first of all, for
2:56 am
donation of flour milling industries. and, of course, bakery products, a lot of the most diverse e, feed. on the basis of grain , it is also produced abroad. that is, there are also, in fact, two goals - food, and, uh, karmic. that's how it works. our business. he er assumes that we just know each other well. yes, we deliver, fulfilling our obligations independence from the situation. this is our part and we as a business will provide it, please decide. questions for us to avoid such barriers so that we do not solve problems that are not typical for us. let them solve their problems, trying not to interfere. for the rest to decide their own, at least it seems reasonable to look at the international review. goodbye.
