ukraine welcomed proposes a peace talks from turkey and azerbaijan, so the fact that president putinof the kremlin has been contradictory, confusing, some would say it deliberately so, in recent days, for example one minute to the kremlin will be saying we are ready to negotiate with ukraine, the next it is calling the ukrainian government drug addicts, terrorists, neo—nazis and urging ukrainian soldiers to overthrow them, stage a military coup. a very confusing picture here and one which i do not think leads to a great deal of optimism in terms of negotiations at the moment. of optimism in terms of negotiations at the moment-— at the moment. contradicting messages — at the moment. contradicting messages could _ at the moment. contradicting messages could be _ at the moment. contradicting| messages could be deliberate at the moment. contradicting i messages could be deliberate of course, but it could suggest that there is a slight chaos within the kremlin? it there is a slight chaos within the kremlin? , ' . there is a slight chaos within the kremlin? , , . ., _ there is a slight cha

with moscow saw his domestic position and former foreign policy autonomy crushed by the war wa azerbaijan. given the fact that russia and armenia have a long-standing defense pact and russian forces are based in armenia, azerbaijan's military assault to retake territory was unlikely to have been feasible without a green light from moscow, and russia has now exploited the 2020 war to introduce its military forces sidelining the osc mines k group. strong man alexander lukashenko has been forced back into the fold after a disastrous presidential election on his part in the last year and in january 2022, so just in the last month, russia and its regional security alliance, the collective security treaty organization or csto was called in to quash protests and quell a political power struggle in kazakhstan. this was the first time that the csto was deployed on the territory of a member country. so russia feels emboldened by all of these developments in eurasia, from russia's perspective, the united states played no significant role in addressing these upheavals, and the united states again fro
