what we wanted to talk about today, kirill vyshshinsky was with you, see you soon. hello , international review is on air, fyodor lukyanov is with you, today the program includes international review, events of the week, chronicle, facts, comments, multipolarity technique, instructions for use, who benefits from this in the end? the ukrainian wind is changing. postponed the release of aid, is it a temporary

pause, or will it last for a long time? europe is on the warpath, brussels was preparing for escalation, materials from our program, fair multipolarity, how to ensure security and development for all, that was the title of the twentieth meeting of the valdai international discussion club, which ended this week in sochi. the 20 years that have been held in valdai are an interesting chronicle of a truly turning point, a chronicle of how russia and the world were changing. in 2004, when it all began, multipolarity was considered a desirable goal, but in practice everyone was doing about the same thing, adapting to a real unipolar hegemony. now,

the situation has changed, multipolarity is a fait accompli, only now the question remains, what to do with it? the number of significant participants in international relations is unprecedentedly large, this has not happened for a very long time, and maybe never, write the authors of the annual report of the voldai club, which is called a matriculation certificate or an order that has never happened before. the concept is much... after the ideological rejection of the hegemony of the established end of the cold war, personified under the auspices of the united states and the west, but multipolarity, as such, is not a way of regulation international relations, this is nothing more than the state of the environment and the state is obviously unstable, the authors of the report remind. different segments of international relations are coming to a new state of affairs at different speeds. it is precisely this circumstance

that prevents the formation of a stable structure, which in turn prevents the building of a hierarchy. any schemes based on polarity obviously presuppose a hierarchical, unequal system of relations. the number of poles, that is , players influencing the general state of the world environment is always limited. the rest obviously find themselves in a discriminated position, but no one else is ready to accept this... for granted, so you should not use the concept of advantages to characterize the current and especially future international situation. the life of the international community must gradually reach a state of dynamic equilibrium, when the ability of the world social organism to self-adjust will overcome the challenges associated with the end of an era based on the balance of forces and the dominance of the strong. valdai report 2023

of the year. the discussions at the forum were extremely diverse, it is even difficult to summarize them, but two conclusions can perhaps be drawn. first , the very fact that multipolarity is a reality is recognized by everyone, and moreover, it no longer even evokes any emotions, neither sadness nor joy, it already is. and secondly, what is probably more interesting, the general topic that everyone is discussing is the need for monetary and financial diversification, in other words, moving away from the monopoly of the dollar, this is talked about not only by opponents of the united states, but in general all participants, because recent events have demonstrated what a powerful tool pressure is, influence, this currency dominance of the united states, a multipolar world is an interesting thing, but

we also asked some participants about whether their countries are ready to live in this new reality , one of the countries that. advocated for a multipolar order, but we understand very well how many dangers it carries, and also how important the strength and stability of one’s own state is in order to exist normally in a multipolar world, the state must be effective, capable of responding to any challenges, and most importantly , establish contact with its own society and meet its needs. growing multipolarity is good, better than having a unipolar or pseudo-polar world, as after the collapse of the soviet bloc, the more diverse the world, the more opportunities everyone has to speak out, and i believe that my country, brazil, together with its neighbors, will also create a pole of multipolarity peace, we will cooperate with other poles, especially fruitfully in

within brix. japan belongs to the us-led international order, but we are aware of how dramatically the world is changing. japan recently adopted a new security doctrine that aims to make the country more independent, but we remain a close ally of america and are in the process of adapting to a new world order. china has always been ready for a multipolar world. beijing has been saying for years that the planet should not be dominated by one country. beijing would like to further advance the multipolar system, it concerned about the european union. europe is moving further and further towards the united states; it does not seem to have the will for strategic autonomy. from china's point of view, the european union is very important for the world to be truly multipolar. this is our priority. relying

only on brix or sco is clearly not enough. we need to enlist the support of europe and achieve its autonomy. this is the strategic goal of the people's republic of china. opposite the beijing temple of heaven it’s like a blash market, where people come to look at others, but more often to show themselves, and not even themselves, but their unmarried and unmarried children, who are painted in all colors, height, weight, year of birth and more , this is tinder, only on sheets of paper, here i have three sons, all unmarried, but they are all over 40 already, maybe i’ll add one of them well, the education is good, there is work, everyone lives in the capital. so the acquaintance of the parents here occurs long before the bride and groom even know about each other. in china this is called the marriage market and there are such in almost all cities, when the older generation, even now in the era of high technologies, they go out into the parks with leaflets and offer their grandchildren

as newlyweds; the potential newlyweds themselves often don’t even know about it. most of the advertisements, however, are about girls and there is also a requirement for a potential son-in-law to have a height of 170 or an academic degree... the horoscope sign according to the eastern calendar is important, education too, if in the sixties, it was enough for the groom to have a bicycle, in the eighties the key to family happiness there was a washing machine and a sewing machine, but now for a bachelor without they won’t look at their own square meters , although already five minutes later a new cell of chinese society assures that they are definitely getting married for love, it’s just that the groom’s metropolitan registration in his own apartment contributed a lot. this is tradition, and tradition is needed in china. it is usually carried out even before the wedding, the tradition is the same as ransom, in china they ask for a bride from tens to hundreds of thousands of yuan, in terms of rubles millions, and they will also require an apartment for the parents, the bride, if not, then a turn,

a turn, and , the farther from large cities, the more appetites, oddly enough, in beijing i know that the bride’s parents no longer insist that the groom’s parents... an apartment, but in the villages this still remains, it didn’t matter to us at all, we’ve been friends since school. han yu and ivan an, by chinese standards, generally went against the system, firstly , they are both not even thirty, and they get married in the middle kingdom every year later, precisely because the young men cannot save up for an apartment, and they have no time, work there’s no time for personal life here; it’s generally more difficult for the stronger sex in china, according to according to statistics, for every 100 girls there are 118 guys, and there are already three more available men. which both girls and their parents use when looking through the most promising candidates in specialized dating agencies, there are usually enough of them, all these people met with my help, and now live happily, such as naaer in china is called hong-ni, literally red mother, connects couples

a red thread of fate, like yulau, the god of love and marriage, his figure is in a prominent place in the agency, but unlike the ancient chinese deity, in real life among the chinese a clear calculation is included. that’s why the services of professional matchmakers are not cheap, the price tag starts from 1500 yuan, which is almost 2000 rubles. more and more girls are looking for them again. in beijing it should not be lower than 1000 yuan per month. it is not surprising that sometimes parents’ requests for the hand , the daughter’s hearts force the groom’s family to get into unbearable debts, but prices for brides in china are rising, the demand only falls from this, and with it we give birth. yes, it’s time for grandchildren, so i’m looking for a bride, my son knows he doesn’t mind. he won’t find it without me anyway, so i go and see, maybe it will be possible not only to find a bride, but also to negotiate a smaller ransom.

even the communist party had to intervene in family affairs by setting a dowry threshold of 100,000 yuan, and at the same time reduce the costs of the weddings themselves, which are now astounding in size , like everything in china; after all, the state is directly interested in the happiness of young people, the population in china is rapidly aging, and this despite the abolition of the policy, one family, one child, the other side of chinese prudence, which can be changed, however, only out of love. alexander baalsky, nikolai petrov, especially for international viewing from china. in general, there is money everywhere , we’ll talk about how attitudes towards the conflict are changing in ukraine, in the west, especially in europe, after the advertisement. are you sure that you chose this profession yourself? or was he simply born into a family of musicians? and a music room two minutes from home. at bigfest

support anti-russian sanctions. well, with all due respect to the words. this is not a country that can influence pan-european politics, but it is a visible symptom, and it is quite indicative. tired of what's happening already not only in central europe, this is felt throughout all of europe, in the western part it is slower, in the neighboring countries of ukraine, it was already sensitive there before, but now it is noticeable, noticeable, hungary, it was alone before that, or almost alone, in slovakia, the fact that robert fitz won the elections, this already makes the situation easier for hungary, because there is some kind of, well, small union, and i must add that

the mood is also changing in poland, not only in society , but in a political mood. because why this is all? uh, viktor orban already spoke about this in advance, that what is happening in ukraine is everything, just not in a european way, to say that ukraine is defending western democracy is, well, i beg your pardon, but to put it mildly , it’s funny, what, what, what kind of democracy is there, when, as we have long... known, but especially in 2017, that how they treat the nationalities, uh, the, arrogance of the hungarians living in transcarpathia, which means i have we have experience, many did not want to see this, especially in poland, but

now ukraine, in quotes, helped, helped with these, these disputes, around exports of uh, exports of grain, because now the poles must defend national interests, hungary has nothing to do with this anymore, only based on hungarian national interests, i tried, as best as possible, to defend these interests, to defend the nationality of transcarpathia, and so on. and hungary was never against ukraine, only for hungarians for hungary. fitz, like orban , is portrayed in western europe almost as agents of russian influence. black and white a picture, it is always more attractive because it is clearer, but this

does not clarify the essence of things, of course. many people here thought that urban and fitso were pro-russian. no, they are pro-vengian, pro-slovak, this is the most important thing, that this is not, they should not approach this behavior ideologically, because for urban, for fitz, ideologies, geopolitics are more important, national interests, in this they differ from western politicians, western european politicians , western... i don’t know in what world the world the world of morality and so on further and completely against and forget about national interests, a good example for this is the german government today, this is what is happening there, this is for everyone,

this is very bad for the germans, if the government manages to do it, formulate it, then then it will try to show it inside the european union has a different approach, a pragmatic approach, this is the most important thing, a pragmatic approach, because what is included in the european union today is, this, this, we are going into the abyss, into the abyss and with round eyes, we defend ukraine, we will help... ukraine and europe will disappear, competitiveness is already weaker and weaker, that's all, these countries, that means, uh , central european countries, uh, you can

formalize this, that they are committing or doing some kind of rebellion, an interesting touch, the president of slovakia, zuzana ciputova, she is an opponent, a political opponent of fitz, a staunch supporter of assistance to ukraine, she said. that during the formation of the government, this very assistance should be suspended, after all , the people spoke out largely for those who do not support this course, and so however, holding it in these conditions would probably mean disrespect for democratic choice; it is interesting that they remembered it for some time. we know what is happening, to the east of us, we... live in a neighboring country, we have more historical experience, and these countries are not only dealing with the issue of ukraine,

with russia, and so on, but they can give some new impetus and want to give a new one impulse to brussels, then to the european union, in brussels, they don’t want to understand this, they are increasing pressure, they think that these countries and orban are against the european union, destroying the european union, no, you are there you are destroying the european union, unfortunately, if more countries, for example, now slovakia also joins, in some issues poland joins, then it will be easier, then, then it gives impetus, as i already said, and this is a small breakthrough, it would be an understatement, that it’s big, because there’s a wall, they’re so strong, the walls and it would be even easier if , if someone from western european countries, leaders of western european countries, joins this group, we hoped,

well, in some moments, that macron, the president of france, when he says autonomy, strategic, strategic autonomy. europe, then he thinks a little differently, a little, well, that’s already hope, it ’s weakening a little, a lot depends on whether fizi has time to form, form a government, what will happen in poland, and i’ll emphasize again, that some of the western european politicians, they would not say that they join , but they understand a little more what we are talking about, what these people, these politicians, these central european politicians, want to do, what they think, how they think,

maybe they are right, it’s difficult to figure out how much money the united states spent on ukraine, the numbers appear different, for example, the fox news channel named the amount at $111 billion. it was announced in september by the head of the white house office of management and budget, shalanda young. the khil newspaper claims that the united states, since the beginning of the war, has given ukraine 75.5 billion worth of weapons. the european union countries have given it 58 billion. all the rest are about 16.5 billion. another 13 billion came through the world bank. the picture is the same with arms supplies. back in january twenty, bloomberg reported. what all the time special operations, ukraine received more than 4,000 units of armored vehicles, artillery pieces, aircraft and air defense systems, most of the heavy

weapons came from eastern european countries. former members of the warsaw pact gave kiev old soviet tanks, combat vehicles, hundreds of infantry and multiple launch rocket systems . but besides this, ukraine received several dozen leopards, bradley and marder armored vehicles, hymers multiple launch rocket systems, two patriot air defense systems, as well as german, english and american howitzers from aviation ukraine was given attack aircraft , soviet-made fighters, helicopters, mi and bayraktar drones from turkey, in general, ukraine received various types of weapons and military equipment from more than 40 countries. in washington. by the way: the us house of representatives dismissed its own speaker. the radical conservative wing of the republican majority did not like the fact that their

fellow party member... kevin mccarthy agreed on an interim budget with the democrats, they conspired with the same democrats to in order to dismiss him from his position. we would probably be of little interest in these questions if the adoption of the american budget were not directly tied to assistance to ukraine, or rather, on the contrary, assistance to ukraine depends on the adoption of the budget. president biden immediately convened a teleconference; the european union does not have such funds, relying only on the united states. tireless fighter against russia, slovakian marian kamensky. work based on the decision of the us congress to leave assistance to ukraine out of the equation.

last cent osmani simanko was born on cuba, but now lives in brazil and works for one of the local newspapers. this drawing is entitled: biden's child. jimmy marguley, more about american politics. republicans delayed aid to ukraine. uncle sam tells zelsky: unfortunately, they are also not interested in supporting democracy at home. simon reges from tanzania. by and large , everything is clear here. and without words the drawing is simply called the ukrainian crisis. elon musk will not leave dave garlund indifferent. the screen says fighting in ukraine. there is a mask in his hands, remote control with the inscription staring and the signature: a maniac who seeks to control everything. the more acute the conflict, the more weapons and resources thrown at it, the higher the internal political price.

people see cuts in social benefits, rising fuel prices, and most importantly , there is no end in sight, they are just adding fuel to the fire without any strategy and there is no doubt that the patron of all this is the united states. judging by the statements of politicians, well, the same german government, there is no alternative, and this opinion is actively reinforced by the media. most germans. still against the war, for historical reasons: the nazi past , world war ii, defeat and the germans as a whole still do not agree with the idea that their country will fight, especially with russia, but the media environment is extremely biased, manipulation of public opinion is systematic character, it has a structural basis, most media are owned by a limited number of families or corporations

that are closely connected... everything that happens turns into a kind of antidote, such an inoculation against militarism, the result of the war is greater resistance of european nations to militaristic approaches and the idea that war is a rational instrument of politics, the longer all this continues, the more obvious the terrible consequences and the more skepticism it causes... russia in ukraine , but to be honest, i don’t notice that these calls have found understanding in public opinion. in recent weeks, coverage of the conflict in the west has become more and more realistic, the longer it all lasts in time, the more looks senseless, the question arises, what is the point of this whole company if as a result of it ukraine will be destroyed.

public opinion in europe is for appeasement, they would like the war to end as soon as possible, people would like a resumption of diplomacy and some kind of peace agreement based on compromise, even one that would require ukraine to cede territory to russia and limit its own sovereignty. increasingly, public opinion believes that this outcome is better than continuation of the war until complete self-destruction. disputes about who will pay for maintaining ukrainian combat capability continue to grow, the question is not only about money, there is also a question about their own weapons, european countries are reporting one after another that all arsenals have been exhausted, there is nothing more to give. what is happening in connection with ukraine is completely unprecedented, before
