, russia has suspended participation in delson and is ready to return to testing the materials of our program. the united states threatens china testing relationships 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 full-scale hostilities unfolded between two neighboring countries, closely related culturally and historically, then the reaction became a surprise. the attempt of the west to inflict a knockout financial and economic blow to knock russia off its feet did not work, but the funnel of the conflict went quickly expand quickly, it became clear

what was happening. not just a local skirmish. although this is a fierce battle for the international hierarchy of the stakes, in which for all those involved it is extremely high to retreat, no one is ready to give up the ultimate demands is tantamount to a complete defeat in february, 22 no one could imagine to what extent the confrontation would reach and how familiar the idea 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 are given to the council on foreign relations by an influential think tank of the united states for comparison in 2020, israel received the largest us military assistance of 3 billion 300 million dollars, a little less than 3 billion

. the president of afghanistan, ashrafugan , soon got the taliban and egypt, who fled from kabul . a little over one billion. true, israel and egypt have been receiving such assistance annually for 45 years as a payment for peace between themselves, prisoners from 40 countries providing military assistance to ukraine 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, over the entire period of the special operation , more than 4,000 units of armored vehicles, artillery pieces of aircraft and air defense systems, most of the heavy weapons were delivered to ukraine. received from the countries of eastern europe, the former members of the warsaw pact

gave it over 400 tanks 250 combat vehicles soviet-made infantry 40 grad multiple launch rocket systems. in addition , american m-13 and m117 armored personnel carriers are supplied, and attack aircraft received almost 40 haimos multiple launch rocket systems and ukrainian aviation. soviet-made fighters , mi helicopters, as well as bayraktar drones from turkey , air defense systems are german self-propelled anti- aircraft guns. cheetah systems eight batteries per self from the us production soviet missile systems strela and the british sides from artillery ukraine received about three hundred two-sim howitzers mainly from the usa and also self-propelled artillery mounts from britain, poland, germany and the usa the anniversary of the start of the campaign caused great excitement everywhere at the munich conference they swore

to support ukraine to the end, because confronting moscow the main task has always been, as the british prime minister noted with captivating sincerity, there is no need to spare kiev weapons and shells. they were already intended against russia, florid, as always, emmanuel macron for the victory of ukraine but against the defeat of russia. however , he clearly showed himself for its strategic defeat joe biden. he told everyone that he was going to warsaw. and first he assured both capitals to kiev of unshakable support and threatened the steglich house in moscow, and joe biden's priorities, the president says it's time to meet with those who are suffering from a grandiose humanitarian crisis, go to ohio, where there is an environmental disaster or to 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. vagai her expressive pose and facial expression are family in a row from france flo y kahn ukraine will join the european union in the near future. yes, we have already managed to get used to the asterisks, says a soldier from austria, valentine's day against the backdrop of the militarization of ukraine and the supply of nato weapons to kiev anticules 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 stop turns into

a denunciation, and such things happened in recent years , a whole era will end. the caribbean crisis made us think about nuclear security in just a year. after him, in the sixty- third, the ussr and the united states signed a nuclear test ban treaty. 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 deployment of weapons of mass destruction in space, but in the whole 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 united states to negotiate from the moment of the caribbean crisis to a systematic approach to arms control 10 years passed, and before the reduction

of arsenals 30 years of a strategic arms limitation treaty. st-1 was adopted only in 702, and s2 in 79. and although it was not ratified in the usa 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 the treaty's strategic arsenals sv-1 was signed in 1991, 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, donald trump, when he became president, called the agreement one-sidedly. with a deal supposedly beneficial only to russia and necessary, in which china would participate, beijing said that it was ready to join only if washington reduced its nuclear arsenal to the level of china, which eventually replaced trump. joe biden, agreed to extend the contract for another 5 years. without any conditions, while the possibility of connecting to the treaty of great britain france is 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 shudder. although, to what extent these rules still apply, the question has not been idle for a long time a couple of months ago. what was the central

element of the expert discussion about the ongoing events, after all, everyone compared last fall, what is happening with the caribbean crisis, so if we went through the caribbean crisis in a different way. if we we came out of it not with the understanding that we can support nuclear deterrence not with the most rigid forms, perhaps, 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, arms control will also be completely different and in the form in which it took shape after we went through

that original caribbean crisis, apparently in such he doesn't need it right now. we passed a certain fork, which then us, uh, at the beginning sixties. we turned in one direction. we, i say, not russia, but in general . this is the world situation now. the system of arms control that was created under e returned to e in a different direction, but the military-strategic and military-political understanding of the situation. it now turns out to be inadequate, but i still want to emphasize that we are, uh, such an intellectual conceptual basis for all this, but there is also just the dynamics of relations, and in which one already clings to the other measures. uh, countermeasures are intertwined into a single ball of action. and this is also the

case in these terms in these categories. uh, the president very logically formulated what is what is happening. uh, containment works without treaties. and if the treaty is now being used to spy on us, that is to say, to send a nuclear deterrence, then 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 a risk mutual destruction. now the two nuclear superpowers are also confronting each other militarily, but one of them is fighting directly, and the second indirectly, however, nuclear deterrence is no less intense, it seems to be working, but the more active the hostilities, the more doubts about its strength was basically an american franchise.

now there, i suppose, they rub their hands on these messages, of course, if the bolts are very pleased with the fact that it has become much easier, because since russia does not want to take part contracts why, namely now? with the old administrations, to be honest, i think that the reaction will be calm, and the weight will be small, which is actually changing for 2-3 years, where it has been held, but it seems that the russian arsenal is not growing in the near future. at least, and i think that we all understand that the world has become much more complicated the last, say, 10-15 years has come, as far as strategic stability is concerned, and the bright

world has become truly multi-row. uh, china uh, first of all, which monetize and ah, developing their arsenal here in this area and most likely reached parity with russia and the united states during this decade. ah, if other factors are not only the army, which , uh, very much affect the issue of strategic cyber stability, but spatially , for example, a high-precision means conventional weapons, a and many times not actors, but take part in the ampe of this area. i think everyone understands. uh, usa what despite the fact that they did it, yes, a thief, but 2 years ago, what was it after this that it was necessary between

russia and the usa and in any case, but get day of the third vote, and any policy. this is unimaginable to our us cognac so we need a different approach. questions of strategic stability, which includes, uh, different options for bilateral multilateral agreements. uh, one-sided means practice, and so on and so forth and therefore, and as i said, it seems to me that the reaction with the old administrations of the bydn, and to putin’s statement, uh, and send his message will be quite calm. as for the congress, of course, uh, the noise

will rise, but because everyone wants to. eh, well the republicans are hiding just uh, it means spoiling the administration of his power, but i think that this is not serious, of course, we will also talk about the american reaction to moscow's decision to suspend participation in the cis with a wonderful specialist robert legvald - one of the most authoritative and well-deserved experts in international and russian politics us bob is it possible to say that the classic treaty and arms control on start, the start treaty will end, is not dead, but the second is dying, the fate of the treaty has now become a derivative of the military company in ukraine and as long as this confrontation continues and the foundation of the treaty will be undermined. further, the third start will not be the basis for further work on arms control, 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 seventies 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 that are more informal than formal exactly directly. negotiated, this will mean that we will lose the basis for working on nuclear issues in a multipolar context, and the prospects for a settlement between china and the united states will also come to naught. 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, there will be a pursuit of qualitative superiority. after all , now we are talking not only about nuclear weapons. there are non-nuclear strategic weapons hypersonic weapons new space. a confrontation like cyber or

space, and in all areas to be expected, intensifying competition with a complete lack of steps to regulate it, the goal of those who dealt with problematic arms control in the sixties and seventies was to achieve a certain level of strategic stability in nuclear relations. now that is lost for many in washington , the russian president's decision is a relief. there were more junior and trump in administrations people who generally believed that arms control was a burden for the united states of one john bolton there is no doubt about it, you are talking about people who have always been principled opponents of arms control treaties and used any excuse to force the united states to abandon certain agreements, but now this group of people is getting the support of those who were not initially against this topic, but are negative about any agreements with russia , criticize the government for the way it conducts business with moscow that is, this is a derivative of

the general anti-russian attitude, it was very hard to understand that the issue of nuclear tests could be returned to the agenda. what kind of us reaction can be expected i don't know what policy the us is going to pursue regarding nuclear testing in the republican party, there is france who is in favor of their resumption if the united states moves in this direction because of the general. the decline of the situation in the field of arms control, russia will respond symmetrically. i personally doubt that russia will be the first to take steps towards resumption of 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 it is necessary. tom timing agrees. it won't, at least not normally. uh, because in fact there is already, uh,

a quality breaking edge. in this other areas, uh, this technological race, uh , and uh, events around uh, artificial intelligence, for example, drones and so on like that. and now what other innovations much more uh, important balance of power items between uh, china usa russia usa than not a weapon in my opinion, but i think these are important factors and important changes in our understanding of strategic stability and the 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 thing is, out of all these multilateral uh treaties, there aren't really that many of them, and

in fact, the current treaty that has become the mantra for the uh disruptive community, and around which arose its own non-proliferation so-called community is a treaty between doubts about 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 we observe, for example, many states. eh, that's 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 have by and large failed to accomplish. 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 the hard nuclear costs, with regard to the treaty on comprehensive ban on nuclear tests, it did not enter into force at all. uh, the united states hasn't ratified it. or rather, so to speak, they submitted it for ratification, to be precise, and failed and more unbearable identification. well, the truth is, they kept their signature under it, but israel did not ratify it either. uh, several countries didn't sign it at all. whose signatures are obligatory for its implementation, therefore , from my point of view, uncle is like

a delayed collapse from my point of view, the collapse has come. eh, well, about in 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 it would never gain. uh, those signatures and ratifications that are needed for it to come 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 because of nuclear deterrence, in general, we are reducing the fact of force by different ratios. rapprochement is detente, in in some very literal sense of the word, and this whole system of treaties, it served such a system, uh , military-political strategic relations,

if it sounded today, but the world , uh, if the united states staged the last battle for their behemonia, then that installation, uh, political, which was the basis of this contractual system, ceases to operate, an insult, a strange one, for those who do not own nuclear weapons. one of these days, one can feel in moscow an ananare four, a famous mexican physicist in the past deputy general manager mate. they took the opportunity to ask her if the treaty would survive without distribution. i think it will be 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 the traditional form, because it actually restricts those who do not have nuclear weapons of the day nuclear countries to produce and improve their nuclear weapons. and this is a big flaw in the treaties. she was once an activist in the movement for peace, to which the ussr favored, but the usa not so much. 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 that scientists experience to demonstrate the effectiveness of their research. they simply cannot be distracted by other things that, in my opinion, are extremely important, the environment has become much more competitive and i can see how much it has influenced the approaches of many years. this is competition with each other inside the scientific
