and to the extent that the people of kharkiv are correcting themselves, politics is correcting as much . thank you very much. yuliya bidenko, candidate of political sciencesal science of kharkiv national university named after karazin, russian troops are conducting active operations in the bakhmut and avdiivka directions in the donetsk region, but they have not been successful. this was reported by the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine in the morning. it is currently impossible to verify the statements of the military command of both sides, because actually, in the circumstances of the war, and in particular, the situation in bakhmut is known to be stable but difficult the armed forces of ukraine have losses due to the superiority of the russian troops in artillery, but they hold the city , the doctor of the field hospital in bakhmut told the reuters agency about this, let's see how they get used to us, how they don't shoot, so you tell us it's even worse when they shoot, we're already waiting what well, they shoot when silence means when in front of a brown shelter, we are going, but something will happen, here we are , here we are, at the mom

let's talk about it further with taras zoftenko, an expert on national security issues, candidate of political sciencesood evening good evening russian president vladimir putin called the reason for the invasion of ukraine the prevention of ukraine's membership in nato, but it turns out that on the eve of the invasion, german chancellor olafsholtz assured putin that ukraine would not be nato yet at least 30 years, that's what this shows how to understand it, because both in ukraine and in the west, probably first of all, in the west, first of all, it is necessary to remember that in fact, this is the opinion of putin's thesis that ukraine, as a member of nato, is not a potential but, in principle, a real threat to the security of the russian federation. this is actually only part of the equation. this is only part of the logic of putin's regime, which he actually justifies . is this aggressive war that he is waging against the ukrainian state, because if we recall the december ultimatum that the russian leadership gave to the north atlantic treaty organization and, in principle, the collective action a

and information policy of the verkhovna rada of ukraine, and also oleksiy boryachenko, candidate of political sciencesgratulate you, we congratulate you on a special day of independence, because ukraine is fighting b the heart of our country is beating, we will not fight for independence, ms. kravchuk, do you think that we are now showing this symbolism of the struggle for independence and, in general, this symbol of independence ukraine, what does it mean for us, as it is perceived in the west? well, of course, we know that we have already entered history and i think that more than one film will be made about ukrainians as they defend independence, and actually, when i explain to europeans, americans, what now the situation of the 22nd year is different from that of the 22nd year. well, let's be honest, we were at war with russia in one form or another, and the cossacks and uh, in such a tragic story. so when the russians actually occupied the territories what is different because we have our own country now a state that has its own army, that has a political leadership, a political leadership that i

professional historian, history is only my hobby i highly respect historians, i am a candidate of political sciencesd i met very often in the studio of the rada channel before the war, and in principle we agreed that the main problem or the main danger to existence of the modern refi of the russian federation in time in the form of this putin empire, the last patchwork empire on the world map, it is exactly independent free ukraine and it is noticeable if we turn on the russian propaganda channels there, there is practically no news about the russian federation, how is it not surprising that everything about ukraine is devoted there ukraine because the russian federation perfectly understands that a successful independent democratic ukraine is what all the russians are looking at. they continue to look at ukraine as a part of this of their great russia, they cannot live without it. why because russian chauvinism was not punished, if, for example, german national socialism was punished as a result of the second world war, then russian chauvinism, which, well, it can be called in different ways during

of the european union, as well as the united states. yes, you are already visiting. we welcome you iver levchenko , military-political spectator, expert-internationalist, and mariya glytti, balcony expert, candidate of political scienceswe will talk in more detail, mrs. maria, for you, this is what the tension that arose literally the other day on the border of kosovo and serbia became a surprise if it concerns any restrictions on the rights of kosovo serbs , e.e., in kosovo, who live, so for me it is such an ordinary protest of the kosovo serbs on the territory of kosovo, but this is a very dangerous situation from the point of view that the balkans themselves are very hot and a potential source of conflict in the future. that is why this is a threatening situation, and that is why the situation is now resolved by postponing this demand. according to the documents and driver's license plates, it is positive because it postpones this conflict and may contribute to the resolution of this conflict. well, i will remind you of the postponement regarding the recognition of license plates on kosovo cars demands that the serbs receive exactly the kosovo numbers and not some proxy numbers there, as well as, what else are ther

and i am a candidate of political sciences i have more than 150 presprazh - it is in geopolitics thaty emphasize it in geopolitics, so very briefly. we ukrainians are exhaling in the eternal war with our enemy. and it has been going on since the distant year 1240, when the tatar- mongol face came here, they heirs, we will not discuss here, we are exhaling. so the russian federation is divided into 15:20 states, they are pulling out the nuclear sting from them, what is being formed in the conditional russian republic, do not confuse it with the russian one, it is not the same thing, it will be cut off from free siberian resources, especially from oil and gas, we we join nato and it has been carried out there for at least 60 years, that is, for three generations, a complex, complex, ideological rehabilitation of what they call greatness, but let’s be honest, let’s take care of ourselves, that’s it, not quickly reality no, maybe a year, maybe two, maybe 10, so i strongly appeal to my nation to finally become real realists and understand where the real threat lies if someone thinks that f

down he will not be punished meets everyone oleksiy kubin, a political scientist and candidate of political sciences, joins our broadcast this morning. congratulations to oleksiy. good morning. from your point of view, these constant transfers of the pseudo-referendum to the territories occupied by russia , what does this indicate from the point of view of the kremlin's plans? i think this shows that in reality with the introduction of hostilities in the kremlin, not everything is going as quickly as they planned, because notice that the date of the referendum that they planned to hold is constantly being postponed. well, for example, in the self-proclaimed ldns, that is, now they are talking about september. but if we look at the entire background, then we started talking about it in the spring, but these dates were constantly postponed again, including that we understand that the military situation affects this, because the kremlin was thinking about quick military action, the capture of all of donbas if we are talking about donbas, but this did not happen. the same applies to the temporarily occu

of ​​reuniting the captured lands into molecules with the russian empire, yevhen kuksim and venklinsky are working in the studio, and we have guests valentin glykh, political expert, candidate of philosophical sciencesd good evening good evening well, i think that the current situation with preparations for the so-called referendums was revealed by putin himself during his theater meeting with the head of his own divisional guard, so i think it is necessary to see the version of the special operation. about the fact that even by russian a-a standards, according to their indicators, they do not succeed, but still they are trying to er well, to create at least something in the matter of holding this referent, so valentin, you think er, why are they doing this, the goal is inertial one moment, and the second from hopelessness, well, we have to do something. well, i read a lot of different analytics that were published both before the war and at the beginning of this war, and in fact there were different forecasts about the military component or the military achievements of the russian federation but in essence, i emphasize all the analysts . practically everyone said that the russian federation does no

thank you, political expert , candidate of legal sciences, lawyer. you. let's watch the story together ilya ponomarev with us, a russian opposition leader, a former member of the state duma and a jigamin and pavilion chairman of the committee on international affairs of the lithuanian seimas greetings good day good day, dear friends. let's go. i just wanted one thing before the story. maybe we can discuss one more novelty briefly. president volodymyr zelenskyi said that russians who do not express their position against the war in ukraine support the war. people are approaching the level of complicity, and the refusal to fight against evil becomes an aid to it precisely because if you have russian citizenship and you are silent, then you are not fighting, which means you support it and no matter where you are in the territory of russia or abroad, your voice should sound in support of ukraine, that is, against this war, literally for starters, your reaction to this address yesterday to the ukrainian president, please, and i 100% support this statement

of the belarusian union of journalists and aleksey belyaev, head of the department of political science beu candidate of historical sciences. good evening. thank you very much for coming to our program today sergey grigorievich usienko as a guest. so we will talk about what sociology, then, of course. these words are synonyms, let's say, so sociology sociological research conducted in our country. this week, the result was published called it social thinking under the sanctions regime. well. understood for what reason? as i understand it, all this was started by sergey grigoryevich well, from the general to the particular. how was this research done? and uh short. of course, we will go through the results point by point briefly, how would you sum up the results, that's it. what belarusians feel today. you know it 's too early to sum up. we have not yet published everything interesting ahead, but in the meantime we will talk in the state normally absolutely calmly. i have for many years there was a feeling, here, uh, the desire to understand, and how, relatively speaking, cubans live 50 years, boys or

candidate quality? >> although of course the idea that candidate quality matters more than senate -- that's political scienceat point whereas the house races, a lot of it is national trends the makeup of the district, you got your results, the senate, if you've got a candidate who's just a bad candidate it's matters more. as for who's responsible, i think the answer has to be republican primary voters, first and foremost, for those places. >> you said the actual voters. the people who nominated these people. that's quite a statement. >> but former president trump did exert some influence in these races and he did often for candidates who are weaker. oz in pennsylvania being the preimminent example to that. >> i'd add mitch mcconnell, he can just wash his hands of this by candidate quality matters. look, he could have washed his hands of donald trump or certainly led a more vigorous fight to move on from donald trump after january 6th than he ultimately did, and when you basically empower donald trump to be the leader of the party, which he and many of his allies in congress and the senate did, you allow dona

was in the balkans that started first volodymyr volya, political scientist-internationalist, and kateryna shymkevich a candidate of historical sciencesr and the analytical center for balkan studies kudos to ukraine, dear experts, we welcome you to the press broadcast of the ukrainian tv channel, demand espresso didn't catch on like that thank god in the balkans, but do you think russia would be ready now to try to heat the situation up to that level what really there could be a new hot spot on the european map of ms. kateryna, well, it is profitable for putin, and he is now specifically pushing serbia and kosovo and he has been doing this for more than one year and the last few in the past few months, the media have become more active, that is, the opening of the so-called balkan front is extremely important for putin at the moment, because it immediately draws the interests of the european union and the united states away from ukraine, that is, ukraine is taking a back seat in european american politics, so for putin it is extremely important now it is relevant, just off the course, we are hammering that there is a republika srpska,

candidate quality? >> of course, the idea that the candidate quality matters more in the senate is almost political sciencethat point, whereas the house race is going to be a lot of national trends, the makeup of the district. you've got your results. if you've got a candidate who is just a bad candidate, it matters. as for who is responsible, i think the answer has to be republican primary voters, first and foremost, for those places. >> oh, you say the actual voter? the people who nominated these people? that's quite a statement. >> but former president trump did exert some influence in these races and he did often for candidates who are weaker. oz in pennsylvania being the preeminent example of that. >> i would add a few more, if i may. >> i would add mitch mcconnell. he can watch his hands by saying candidate quality matters. he could have washed his hands of donald trump or certainly led a more vigorous fight to move on from donald trump after january 6th than he ultimately did. when you basically empower donald trump to be the leader of the party which he and many allies in the congress and senate di

international security and candidates of historical sciences were with us we are going further and we are adding to our e-e-e conversation yaroslav buzhka - this is a politicalultant and oleksiy hlybocki, a political technologist and the head of the center for political studies, doctrine, congratulations, gentlemen, congratulations, congratulations, let's start again for sure after all, from the death of my daughter , i don’t even know how to properly say an ideologue in russian, and here is such an appeal that says they are taking this responsibility, although i already suspect that who does not already it is your responsibility that others prepare themselves , however, how do you see it? well, what can this mean in principle. this is a murder, let's start. well, i don't know, mr. oleksiy, let's go with you. well, do you understand this? i've already read so many versions. i just read that it is dugin himself from the fsb, so if you want to evoke sympathy from putin, who loves maybe only his daughters, he sacrificed his daughter in order to finally force putin to go for the option of war that he thinks is more necessary for the present of the day yes, he is

candidate, physics of mathematical sciences, by the way, oh, how we haven’t had this before. allow me, yes, yes, come in. here, ivan mikhailovich meet the senior lieutenant in mytik, an excellent student of military political they say, so let's go through once again, senior lieutenant thought and bagheera they enter from the starboard side, i and the cat are on the left. be extremely careful, do not lose each other. how is the working mood we went to a given area beyond the territorial waters? and that in the port to emerge weakly is not weak, but then you will not be interested, right? we love to make it interesting, so then we ourselves, that's it, five-minute readiness. our task is to save the owner's team, why did they even get smuggled into this port, they were transiting the local authorities. seryoga , you really are a candidate of physical sciences of physical and mathematical physicists, okay, well, that's it dubbed the new cat, let's go out. anyway, damn i can't. i am more than they look at me. and you don’t care, we’ll push the deck out now. they will hang us tomorrow. let them pamper themselves. i will not do anything so sailors. well, i took mashka and finished the work, otherwise i'll pull up

political science has referred to as the losers consent. it's the idea that to have a democracy, those on the wrong end of the election if my candidate didn't win,, it was fair and square they say all right and in the next we will vetry again.n when you don't have losers contest what people don't believe that the system is being fairly run, then your whole democracyy is at risk so i wrote this speech worrying about the risk to democracy in the course of the speech i became even more worried about those risks. but i do think that rather than end on a note of despair, i'm end on a note of vigilance. thereri is stuff that we can don the private sector because the first amendment limits what can be done by the government and if there wasn't a first amendment as i say in the speech, wean wouldn't want the government speech czar telling us what we can and cannot say as of the future is in our hands. it's a delicate moment for the w democracy but it's one in which i think we need to do our best to assure that we continue to have the commitment is to the robust speech and free and fair elections. >> the premise of your book is that the internet and

of us wonder what we've been doing with our own time. she also taught in the political science department at the us naval academy and has been a candidate for both the u.s. house and senate. it's really a pleasure to welcome you amy and to have you join brookings very own michael o hanlon the defense analysts, analysts, author of articles and books and numbers that are way too high for me to count. and of course the philip h. knight chair in defense and strategy. a reminder to our audience that you can send questions to events at brookings.e d.u. throughout. and thanks to those of you who have already done so. in march 2020 commandant of the u.s. marine corps. general david h. berger released force design 2030. his plan to match the capabilities of the marine corps to what he understands to be the work that the nation will need the marines to do in the contemporary operating environment. general berger and his staff describe f.d. 2030 is being directly responsive to the 2018 and 2022 national defense strategies which instruct the services to contribute to national efforts to compete with russia and china with china as the pacing threat.

things we've known in political science research for a long time, which is that keenly if you ask people about an issue in its own context rather than what they think of a candidaten rights at least under some circumstances across many groups of voters in the us. 50 some circumstances across many groups of voters in the us. so does that mean we _ groups of voters in the us. so does that mean we could _ groups of voters in the us. so does that mean we could potentially - groups of voters in the us. so does that mean we could potentially see| that mean we could potentially see other referendums? it that mean we could potentially see other referendums?— other referendums? it could be a road map certainly. _ other referendums? it could be a road map certainly. i _ other referendums? it could be a road map certainly. i think- other referendums? it could be a road map certainly. i think now i other referendums? it could be a i road map certainly. i think now the problem is that state legislatures, which are much more ideological and extreme on both ends of the spectrum, but especially conservative legislatures, they are more extreme than their voters, so that's another

of political science at fordham university, christina greer. it's great to see you. democrats, some have wanted joe biden to come in and campaign. he was campaigning with the gubernatorial candidatereciate the offer but please don't come campaign in our state right now. but let's talk about that message, kind of a foundational argument about the stakes this fall that democracy is on the ballot. >> absolutely, willie. the stakes are high, democracy, absolutely is on the ballot. i think joe biden and the rest of the democrats need to do a combination of touting the accomplishments of the biden administration, of which there are many, while also explaining the danger that we face if democrats don't maintain control in november and also looking forward to november of 2024. so what joe biden is laying out is absolutely correct, but i think he needs to weave in not just sort of a woman's right to choose and not just the threat about democracy and violence and climate change, but the wins that he's had over these past few months, making sure that pocketbook issues that voters actually go to the polls to think about are also equally contextualized and explained on a local, state and fede

europe to complete isolation from the outside world, such an opinion was shared by the candidate of political sciences, associate professor of the academy of labor and social relations pavel feldman. according to him, washington will do everything to maintain its power over the world. how germany like france like holland will have to, it’s really very hard to notice that the rise in the cost of energy resources immediately naturally leads to a rise in price any final product that these countries supply to world markets, and they supply approximately the same products as the united states of america is, first of all, high-tech equipment. it turns out that when energy resources for europeans become more expensive, and for americans their cost remains plus or minus the same, then the competition between the united states and continental europe for world markets. immediately, the american begins to win. this, in fact, is the essence of all the jesuit i'm not afraid this word foreign policy. they drive klin into relations between russia and europe they plan to strengthen their position in the russian marke
