russian invasion with us in direct communication was volodymyr dubovyk, director of the center for international studiespol is already achievable for the strikes of our armed forces, proof of that is the series of explosions in the city that rang out on the night of february 22. this is stated in the operational command of the south however, what exactly ukrainian troops attacked the still-occupied city in the operational command did not disclose, military experts are inclined to think that it could have been ukrainian-made missiles. mariupol is the city in which the most people died during the full-scale invasion of ordinary civilians and the city that restrained the attack on donetsk showed an example of incredible resilience about the mariupol garrison force and the shot city, followed by the story of natalia nagornoi , an excavator rakes rubble into someone's bucket apartments of someone's belongings of probable machines of ordinary mariupol residents, a city that is easy to recognize without unnecessary explanations, this is a destroyed mariupol, enemy objects above military positions a few kilomet

of international relations of the mechnikov odesa national university director of the center for international studiesodymyr dubovyk mr. volodymyr i welcome you on the air, let's talk more about this resolution, what significance will it have, is that with its invasion, russia violated the norms of international law, violated the un charter , the general assembly spoke about this at the beginning of the war , now it condemns it again, but at the same time , it cannot do anything except to adopt a resolution what is the weight and significance of this resolution and most importantly what will this mean for russia and how will it change good evening it is really necessary to understand that the executive body that really influences events in the world from the united nations is the security council, about which your correspondent offered a good analysis, and where russia sits, where russia has the right to be a permanent member with the right to vote. that is, it blocks any decision that it does not like. unfortunately , the general assembly is such a body that is constantly represented in this country,

enormous shopping list a bit earlier with nelson wong, the vice chairman of the shanghai center for international studies. he says the only result is escalation. i've just got a printout now off the latest list of weapons being sent to ukraine. it, it kind of looks like the new year wishlist for al qaeda. it's, it's this long. there is a huge amount of weaponry that is about to be transported to ukraine. that to me, seems like the u. s. is going to prolong and essentially escalate the conflict nelson by sending so many weapons. and, you know, also financial aids to you crying or is going to achieve nothing except escalating and tell you what the u. s. president has been saying is to, to try and put some pressure on try that. it is not a country that's so easy to be manipulated by the west, which is just a bilateral relations is just between china and russia because we're good neighbors . and neighbors will always be neighbors. it only shows that they are not willing to accept the changing world because change is the only thing that never gets changed. and if you want to cling to all the power or had you

very well shown by the report that came out at the center for strategic international stability, and the washington center for strategic international studiesost respected. in general, there, 2 days ago, well, on the anniversary of this operation, the anniversary of this operation , a report was issued on the effect of sanctions, and now the first part begins individual sanctions. specific names of people are mentioned there, there are shadows of string and so on. here are the oligarchs who changed their position due to sanctions condemned the special military operation. and uh, even uh, well, one of several of them, but they renounced russian citizenship and yes , that is, yes, tributes, dirty, judas by the way, there was always and you will die under the fence, despised by all judas. for this, in fact, individual sanctions are introduced. for example, a person who receives this sanction, who falls under the sanction, will not be able to travel to the european union. there in the united states , if he's professionally involved with it, that's the end of his profession. here's the report which i repeat once again, this is a serious center w

as high, no claim, cuz a retired us army colonel and a senior associate at the center for strategic and international studies. in beijing, victor gao, vice president of the center for china and globalization over in london, we have zeno leoni, who's a lecture in defense studies at kings college london. welcome to you all. thanks so much for your time with us. on inside story, xena leoni to you 1st, do you believe that this was an accident, a weather balloon thrown off course? is the chinese say, or was it deliberate a spy balloon, as the americans allege to the terminal? but the most important thing is that 1st of all, the chinese apologize for that. i'm not saying that this was a mistake, but also these balloon is biggest 3 boxes. and so it seems eventually more a photo be a clancy, a pen that's buying over the u. s. territory rather than a soco operational section. but anyway, i mean you, for the united states at this point the, the sewing bar to determine whether this is a press, these was enough, then spine over the u. s. they should do anything they can to bring it down and find out whether it was optio

emily harding is deputy director and senior fellow of the international security programme at the center for strategic and international studiesshe told me we have to keep an open mind about the flying objects. it's very important to separate what we know from what we suspect or only know a little bit about. what we definitively know is quite a bit about the chinese balloon that was downed off the coast of south carolina. we know that it was large. we know that it was high altitude. carrying a payload that probably included some pretty significant intelligence collection capabilities. for the other three objects, though, we know relatively little. we know that they were operating at a lower altitude than that first balloon. we know that they were different shapes, different sizes, and they were operating much further north. what we don't know yet is who created them, who launched them, what kinds of payloads they may have been carrying. we should know a lot more once the debris fields are reached. emily, you know, it strikes me that it's been unprecedented in a way, hasn't it, the number of unidentified flying objects that hav

for more on this i am joined now by emily harding, deputy director and senior fellow of the international security program at the center for strategic and international studies thoughts on what we definitively know at this stage with the white house as it prince it’s the white house as it prince it's important _ the white house as it prince it's important to — the white house as it prince it�*s important to separate what be no suspect or only know a bit about. what would you know a bit about. what would you know a bit about. what is a bit about the changes balloon that was down off of the coast of south carolina. the large and high—altitude and know that it was would increase if intelligence collection abilities. but from the other objects in know both of little that they were operating on the routes to the first, differentiates, sizes and operating much further north. to not know it is who greeted them, watch them, what kinds of pain that they may have been carrying. we should know more what kinds of ones debris fields have been preached. i think it's unprecedented number of flying objects that have been in the american skies recently but is it a case of fi

the emphasis was put by the american center for strategic and international studies. only for 5 months . what is the period of such five months of countermeasures ? that's how i catch your tongue but i didn’t fully catch something there , how is this er slowing of actions er, i can in russian too uh, the american researcher notes that um, well, it’s quite a surprising decree, since countermeasures are introduced, they are introduced only for five months, and who knows what this is for five months, so please explain to the very vague sometimes saying it’s stupid and we in the kremlin are very difficult eh- what is the meaning? what is the effect? a ban on selling oil to those who buy oil below this question, but it's yours who announce it, but it's not necessarily announced, obviously we're talking about third parties, so that's a terrible blow air ah ah ah exactly what i don't even hear about this but full of such completely crazy people but just a propagandist

international security affairs at the national defense university in washington, d. c. as katrina doxey and associate director and fellow at the center for strategic and international studies. and nico of europe, you're an independent journalist who's location is undisclosed for security reasons . a warm are welcome to you will. thank you very much for being on inside story. i . if i can begin with, you piece it in the last week or so, a wagner group is claimed it now controls a key village near bach motes and is making gains around there. i mean, can you just give us a bit of an overview of how effective they have been as a fighting force, a new crime sofa. they've been pretty effective compared to like other components of the russian invasion. i see 3 major components, the regular army, the chechen battalions, and the wagner group. of course the question is that there are effectiveness was due to enormous brutality. the pentagon estimates the numbers up to possibly 4050000 people and 80 percent, or even 90 percent of the people are convict basically brought directly from jails. this is like a very reminiscent of the style and in practice during world war 2. and i would s

for more on the eight situation -- aid situation, i spoke to someone from the center for strategic and international studies i'm hearing get aid is very restricted in syria nowhere near what is needed, given the scale of the challenges and devastation. i spoke to someone earlier this week in damascus and he said that a relative of his had taken part in a volunteer trip to try to help with rescue efforts in aleppo. when he got there, he was disgusted to see that at checkpoints, the army was seizing the aid he had brought from damascus and they were taking it and divertingt. i've since seen videos of some of this aid apparently being sold in markets in aleppo. it is very clear that the aid is not getting to the people who need it, and once again we are seeing diversion from the syrian regime. geeta: has the u.n. and international community failed because they could have perhaps done more to open the crossings from turkey and initially try to rescue those trapped under the rubble? >> definitely. i think it is striking that the chief u.n. aid official martin griffiths actually said this is a failure. that news

the western countries' own reserves , according to an expert at the washington center for strategic and international studiesgman it will take at least a few years to replenish ammunition from europe and the usa, however, the americans are trying to take a winning position here too. the new york times writes that the pentagon refused to hand over f-16s to kiev, but it is pushing european partners to take this step. according to us officials. the netherlands has about 40 units in 16 and is now moving to a more advanced f-35 fighter. that is why sending some of their f-16s to ukraine makes sense, but according to the head of european, diplomacy, josep borel, sending fighters. kiev is not on the agenda of the european union, he calculated how much europe has already spent to help the national battalion. this amount has exceeded 50 billion euros natalia goncharova news. the head of russian diplomacy sergei lavrov gave. today, in a long interview with our tv channel to the ria novosti agency, the diplomat spoke about how he sees the conflict in ukraine what is the tactics of the western countries in relation to o

such a conclusion is contained in the report of the washington center for strategic and international studies forecasts have been exaggerated since last february more than 11,000 new restrictions have been imposed on russia. they affected individuals of the company goods technology and throughout the entire 22 years of the country's economy. in general, i gave up. the call to the apocalyptic forecast is pointed out by american analysts. they believe that competent response measures, especially from the central bank, helped to minimize the influence in moscow. in addition, russia retained the ability to export key commodities, including oil and gas. according to experts of the center , the russian financial sector has stabilized, and by the end of 22, imports have practically recovered to the level that preceded the special military operations this happened due to the reorientation from europe to china turkey and a number of other countries at the center of strategic and international studies believe that in the future , income from the sale of energy carriers will become a key factor determin
