hello on the air international review in the studio of fyodor lukyanov today in the program international review events of the week of chronicles facts comments russia has suspended participation and is ready to return to testing the materials of our program.

they threaten china to test the relationship for strength. what answer is being prepared in beijing the effectiveness of western sanctions and the attempt to abolish russian culture report from italy a year ago, peaceful life ended. at first it was hard to believe that between the two neighboring countries, closely connected very culturally and historically close , full-scale hostilities unfolded, then the reaction became a surprise. the west's attempt to inflict a knockout financial and economic blow to knock russia off its feet did not work, but the funnel of the conflict quickly began to expand quickly, it became clear what was happening. not just a local skirmish. let this fierce battle for the international hierarchy of the stakes, in which for all those involved it is extremely high

, no one is ready to retreat, the rejection of the ultimate requirements is tantamount to a complete defeat in february, 22 no one could imagine to what extent the confrontation would reach and how familiar the thought of the inevitability of escalation would become? from january to november 2022, the united states provided $48 billion in aid to ukraine, of which $23 billion went to military spending , such figures lead the council on foreign relations to an influential us think tank for comparison in 2020 , israel received the largest american military aid of $3 billion. 300 million dollars , a little less than 3 billion egypt. a little over one billion.

true, israel and egypt have been receiving such aid annually for 45 years as a price for peace between themselves, enclosed in a container of forty countries providing military assistance to ukraine, the american packages were the largest in absolute terms, followed by the united states in britain germany canada poland france and as a percentage of gdp , estonia and latvia spend the most on military assistance to ukraine, almost 1%. according to bloomberg for the entire time of the special operation in ukraine more than 4,000 pieces of armored vehicles were delivered, artillery guns, aircraft and air defense systems, most of the heavy weapons. received from the countries of eastern europe, the former members of the warsaw pact gave it away more than 400 tanks , 250 soviet-made infantry fighting vehicles, 40 grad multiple launch rocket systems. in addition , american m-13 and m117 armored personnel carriers are supplied and

almost 40 highmars multiple launch rocket systems and ukrainian aviation received attack aircraft. soviet-made fighters , mi helicopters, as well as bayraktar drones from turkey air defense means are german self-propelled anti-aircraft. cheetah systems eight batteries per self from us production soviet missile systems strela and british sides from the artery ukraine received about three hundred two-sim goldfish mainly from the usa as well as self-propelled artillery mounts from britain poland germany and the usa ukraine to the end, because the main task has always been to confront moscow, as he noted with captivating sincerity

british prime minister rishinok, kiev should not feel sorry for weapons and shells. they were already intended against russia, florid, as always, emmanuel macron for the victory of ukraine against the defeat of russia. however , joe biden clearly showed himself for its strategic defeat. he told everyone that he was going to warsaw and he himself first assured both capitals of unshakable support to kiev and threatened the steglich house in moscow, and joe biden's priorities, the president says it's time to meet with those who suffer from a grandiose humanitarian crisis to go in agayo, where there is an ecological catastrophe or on the southern border, says the assistant is not in kiev , ukraine clarifies the biden. drawing by harry varl, joe biden in yellow and blue against the backdrop of an environmental disaster. vagay her expressive posture and facial expression family

contract from france flo y kan ukraine will join the european union in the near future. yes, we have already managed to get used to the asterisks , the soldiers from austria say valentine's day against the backdrop of the militarization of ukraine and the supply of weapons. nato to kyiv shahid antikulakh from afghanistan now the artist lives in switzerland, the work is called the munich security conference. he delivered a long-awaited message to the federal assembly, where at the end he presented a surprise, suspended participation in the strategic offensive arms treaty and hinted at the possibility of nuclear tests if the suspension turned into a denosation, and this happened in recent years, an entire era will

end security within a year. after him, in the sixty- third, the ussr and the usa signed an agreement on nuclear test ban. then there was an agreement on the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons. it limited the club of nuclear powers in october of the sixty-seventh year , an agreement was drawn up that prohibited the placement of weapons of mass destruction in space, but in general the sixties of the xx century. it was still a period of an arms race. the ussr sought to achieve nuclear parity by the 1970s, the goal was achieved. this prompted the us to negotiate from the moment of the caribbean crisis to a systemic approach to control over 10 years passed before the reduction of arsenals, and 30 years before the reduction of arsenals, an agreement on the limitation of strategic arms. about sv-1 was adopted only in 702, and for sv-2 in 79. and although it

was not ratified in the united states due to the war in afghanistan, its position was observed by a new detente. it began with the coming to power. gorbachev, a whole series of summits took place , first in geneva and then in reykjavik , as a result of gorbachev's communication at the highest level, reagan first led to the signing of the inf treaty, which eliminated a whole class of ground-based medium-range short-range missiles, and then their negotiations not on limiting, but on reducing strategic arsenals, the sv-1 treaty was signed in the ninety-first year, and 2 years later, sv-2 appeared, the third agreement was signed by presidents medvedev and obama at the summit in prague in april 2010 snv3 reduced nuclear warheads up to 1,150 units, and delivery vehicles up to 700 units. however, when donald trump became president, he called the agreement one-sided. the deal, supposedly it is beneficial only

to russia and necessary, in which it would participate, china beijing said it was ready to join only if washington reduces its nuclear arsenal to the level of the chinese, after all, who replaced trump. joe biden, agreed to extend the contract for another 5 years. without any conditions, while the possibility of joining the british treaty with france was not even considered, despite persistent american requests. include china we are used to the fact that the nuclear sphere is the most dangerous, and therefore the most regulated cancellation of the rules associated with agreements makes us shrink. although, to what extent these rules still apply, the question has not been an idle couple for a long time. months ago. what was the central here are the elements of an expert discussion about the ongoing events, after all, everyone compared last fall, what is happening with the caribbean crisis. right? i remember this

way, if we went through the caribbean crisis in a different way. if we came out of it not with the understanding that we can support nuclear deterrence not with the most rigid forms, but with some softer ones, which include, among other things, a contractual basis. but if we went through the caribbean crisis differently, then, uh, apparently, control its over armaments will also be completely different , and in the form in which it developed after we went through that original caribbean crisis, apparently, in this form it is not needed now. we passed a certain fork in the road, which then us, uh, in the early sixties. we

turned in one direction. we, i'm not talking about russia, but in general this world situation now, it has returned to e in a different direction, and the arms control system that was created under e, then the military-strategic and military-political understanding of the situation. she now it turns out to be inadequate, but i still want to emphasize that we, uh , put such an intellectual conceptual basis under all this, but there is also simply a dynamics of relations, but in which one already clings to another measure. uh, uh, countermeasures are intertwined into a single tangle of actions and and this is also the case in these terms and in these categories. uh , the president very logically formulated what is what is happening. uh, containment works

without treaties. and if the contract is now being used in order to follow us peep, that is, in order to weaken nuclear deterrence, we don’t need it, the current situation really differs radically from the caribbean crisis , then there was a frontal, clinch of nuclear superpowers with the risk of mutual destruction. now the two nuclear superpowers are also confronting each other militarily, but one of them is fighting directly, and the second is following. however , nuclear deterrence is no less intense, it seems to be working, but the more active the hostilities, the more doubts about its strength. cancellation of contracts before it was, mostly an american privilege, now go there, rub your hands, that is, the murder of someone who reacts to e to these messages, of course, if you were very pleased with the bolted bolt, and the fact that everything has become

much easier, because since russia is not wants to take part in the treaty. why should we take part, this is an ideal world about him, and on the part of the administration , to be honest, i think that the reaction will be calm, and the weight is small, which changes, in fact, the inspection has not been carried out for 2-3 years. and it seems that the russian arsenal is not growing near future. at the very least, a and i think we all understand that the a world has become a lot more complicated lately. let's say 10-15 years has come, as far as strategic stability is concerned, and the bright world has become a truly multi-ordered one. uh, china first of all , which is modernizing and, uh, developing its, and

with uh, arsenal in this area and most likely reached parity with russia and the united states during this decade. and if other factors, not only me, which, uh, very much influence the issue of strategic stability of cyber ​​a spatially, for example, but high precise means ordinary weapons, a and many different actors, but take part, yes, but these areas are rich. i think everyone understands. it is the usa that patrona that extended this agreement 2 years ago, that this is the last such agreement between russia and the usa and in any case, ah get two-thirds of the votes. well, any uh,

politics is unimaginable in our current us political environment, so we need a different approach to the issue of strategic stability, which includes uh different options for two-sided multilateral, but agreements, and on the side means practice, and so on and so forth. and so, as i said. it seems to me that the reactions from the side of the administration of the byte, and to the statement of putin e. and his send his message will order us calmly. as for the congress, of course, uh, there will be noise. eh, because everyone wants to. uh, well, republicans first and foremost. uh. it means

spoiling the work of the administration in this area, but i think that this is not serious, of course, methods, but in the american reaction on moscow’s decision to suspend participation in the cis, we’ll talk with a wonderful specialist robert lev, one of the most authoritative and well-deserved experts in international and russian politics of the united states, bob, says is it possible to say that the classic treaty and arms control on start will end, the cis treaty is dead, but the second fate is dying the treaty has now become a derivative of the military company in ukraine, and while this confrontation continues, the foundations of the treaty will continue to be undermined. start will not be the basis for further work on control over weapons, but it could remain a platform for a common effort to develop this topic. if we don't save him. it can be said that the entire treaty system that existed in the 1970s will end here, and

at the same time, it will be possible to forget the approach itself, that we can find solutions to regulate relations between russia and the united states in the nuclear sphere through agreements. rather non -formal than formal definitely not through an agreement worked out in the negotiation process. this will mean that we will lose the basis for working on nuclear issues in a multi-polar context are fizzling out and the prospects for a settlement between china and the us a. is it possible to repeat the nuclear arms race. it will be a different type of arms race, it is doubtful that there will be a desire to quickly increase the number of nuclear weapons in china, yes, but not in the us or russia, the pursuit of qualitative superiority. after all, now we are talking not only. i am the grandfather of weapons, there are non-nuclear strategic weapons, hypersonic weapons, a new space of confrontation, like cyber ​​or outer space, and in all areas it is necessary to expect intensifying competition in the complete absence of steps to regulate it, the goal of those who dealt with

arms control issues in the sixties and seventies was to achieve a certain level of strategic stability in nuclear relations. now. this is lost for many in washington, the decision of the russian president to ease the administrations more than the younger and trump, there were people who generally believed that arms control was a burden for the united states alone john bolton remember there is no doubt, you are talking about people who have always been principled opponents of arms control treaties and used every excuse to force the united states to abandon certain agreements, but now this group of people is gaining the support of those who were not initially against this topic, but have a negative attitude towards any agreements. the government is criticized from russia for the way it conducts business with moscow. that is, this is a derivative of the general anti-russian attitude . putin made it clear that the issue of nuclear tests can be returned to the agenda. day. i don't know what kind of reaction the us can expect.

what policy is the us going to pursue regarding nuclear testing in the republican party, there is a faction that is in favor of resuming them if the united states moves in this direction due to the general decline in the arms control situation. russia will respond symmetrically. i personally doubt that russia will be the first to take steps towards resuming testing, but again everything will depend on the general atmosphere in the context of what is happening in ukraine, this is now determined by all thanks to the professor. from the good news of the insane inflation of arsenals, wait until consent is needed. there is no gun race, and there won't be, at least cloudy a, because in fact , there is already, uh, quality edge fighting. let's go to other areas. uh, this technological uh, race uh everything and uh, events

around uh, artificial intelligence for example, and drones and so on. and now and what other innovations are much more uh, tower-value of the balance of power between uh, china usa russia usa than i say already in my opinion, and i think that these are important, and factors and important, eh changing our understanding of a's strategic stability and a's balance of power in this world. we talked about bilateral russian-american documents on multilateral treaties on international security, which is also being scrapped. the fact is that out of all these multilateral e-treaties, there are actually not so many of them, and in fact, the current treaty, which has become the mantra for the e-destruction community, and around which its own non-

proliferation so-called community of e-treaties between doubts about nuclear nuclear weapons. this is a deal between nuclear and nuclear powers, and let's say that the system of discriminatory access to nuclear technologies that has developed is also a violation of the agreement on the certainty of nuclear weapons. we all say that, let's say, the creation of nuclear weapons is a violation of the treaty on a nervous country of nuclear weapons. but it's discriminatory. uh, access to nuclei to peaceful nuclear technologies. and we are seeing this, for example, many states. uh. this is also a violation of the day. it's just that we kind of forgot all the same about what is behind it. uh, a specific system of commitments that western countries by and large have not met with success. and this is the whole political aura that has arisen around

a treaty not in a country that does not exchange weapons. it is also connected with the détente of international tension. and it is also connected with the fact that the world was moving in the direction of moving away from war. especially from the entry from hard nuclear costs, as for the comprehensive nuclear test ban treaty, it has not entered into force at all. uh, the united states hasn't ratified it. rather, so let's say they submitted it for ratification. to be precise, they failed and no longer endured, but the identification, but the truth retained their signature under it, and israel did not ratify it either. uh, several countries didn't sign it at all. whose signature mandatory for its implementation, therefore , from my point of view, uncle is, as it were , a delayed collapse from my point of view, a collapse, dzyai has come. uh, well, around the middle of the 2000s in the second

half of the 2000s, when 10 years had passed since its signing and it became clear that he will never gain those signatures and ratifications that are needed for its entry into force, therefore. it must be understood that the entire system of treaties is a system that emerged against the backdrop of broad political and strategic changes. so a political strategic line was laid down that we are withdrawing, since nuclear deterrence, in general, we are reducing the facts of force in different ways. rapprochement is detente, in some very literal sense of the word, and this whole system of contracts, it served such a system, uh military-political strategic relations, if it was said today, but the world wow, uh, if the united states staged

the last battle for their behemony, then what ceases to operate is the uh, political setting that underlay this contractual system. the resentment of countries that do not own nuclear weapons is being felt in moscow recently . anna maria, the four famous mexican scientist and physicist in the past , deputy general director of mata, visited moscow. they took the opportunity to ask her if the non-proliferation treaty would survive. i think it replaced by something better, there have always been contradictions within the idea of ​​nonproliferation. it is necessary to keep the weapons that certain states have, but those who do not have them should not get them, but there is another extreme to completely get rid of nuclear weapons, and i am on that side. i am against arms control in its traditional form, because it effectively restricts

those who do not have nuclear weapons of the day by allowing nuclear countries to produce and improve their nuclear weapons. and that's a big flaw in the treaty. the professor was clearly once an activist in the movement for peace, which the ussr favored, but not so much the usa. and why now the voice of scientists on this topic is not very audible. now scientists are less interested in working together for something. perhaps this is due to the pressure scientists feel to demonstrate the effectiveness of their research. they just can't get distracted by other things that i think are extremely important. the environment has become much more competitive and i can see how much it has influenced the approaches of many colleagues, it is competition with each other within the scientific community, primarily for places for young scientists. even the brilliantly prepared have to send out hundreds, that is, thousands of requests, before they are offered a good

job, usually for a short time, there is naturally competition between countries. the more the state invests in science, the tougher the competition in science is now. science has long been a source of economic development and has paid big dividends. in general , there is no time for solid capitalism, it’s right for a scientist to think about the sublime, probably the president messages about the reform of higher education remembered, knowing as politics. now entangles academicians could not help but wonder. anna maria's couples did not interfere with her business trip to russia for scientists. in my opinion. it is a core principle and value to put politics aside and continue to work together. there are excellent examples. you know about the sizam synchrotron, a huge experimental facility built in jordan. well, there is

theoretical work going on. it involves specialists from nine countries of the middle east iran israel epic usa germany they work together. it's the same story with the association. i arrived there at the institute for nuclear research in dubna. that's nice, nevertheless, the result of the russian operation was a rather powerful wave in the west in an attempt to block scientific cultural humanitarian ties with russia, it turned out that it was not so easy from rome their cultural salons dedicated to painting poetry to the theater of music gained fame and popularity of their a small cozy gallery is located in the very center of the city of arts, a stone's throw from the cathedral of florence santa maria delfiore in the historical complex of the xiv century, and they don’t joke that the spirit of the philippine, linden of the beloved student of obtelli roams here, which, according

to legend, was buried at the local churches. culture. it unites people, it does not separate culture either. it enriches people, because our society without culture ceases to be a society. here we have an international audience, and the french come and from germany, people come from there are many visitors to america, and from japan , from china, from turkey, they also come from russia and , uh, a little from belarus , get along in these walls and artists from different countries now have an exhibition of a lithuanian artist. which in her works reveals her feminine essence. in the next project , the character of a woman, the theme will be continued by an artist from different countries, russia, belarus, italy and the usa , anatoly fattakhov. yes, he was from america. but he came directly from the soviet union. uh, kuzmina chugunova, she lives in russia, yes, but this is the work, uh, khilko, and yuri skin here in

belarus, uh. this is the work of the italian patricia gucci and the same patricia gucci with all the gucci projections of avita art. without borders united children's music and art professionals. also from different parts of the world. soft power is in actions that do not find opposition. although it has become more difficult to represent artists from russia with certain technical difficulties, if only because of the impossibility of sending the painting, and yet it was not without cancellation. they were selective boris godunov caressed yes concert an end in itself no, and italians are increasingly remembering how russian culture is connected with their country in florence there is a monument to dostoevsky. here he was writing an idiot. the director of the world-famous gallery, uffiza is german, by origin above me an italian by temperament aikishmid believes in cultural diplomacy. he is also convinced that world culture without its huge russian, which is incredibly poorer. a little over

a year ago, he opened a museum of russian icons and presented to the public the most valuable and largest outside of russia a collection of works of sacred art. previously, she lay in the westerners. unfortunately, how can you cut off your hand. you can also try to cut off part of the universal world culture. but how to live with a severed hand, it's impossible, without huge damage, not to mention the unbearable pain and huge loss of blood metaphor, as if to live without tolstoy dostoyevsky shostakovich and without modern palaces? world culture would incredibly unite humanity. it would take you back to the time before the existence of these great creators abandoning russian culture is unbelievable, this museum is a mistake. it is also a place of common roots. here you have written ancient russia here , this is the current ukraine belarus, the western honor of russia
