not it was not easy and we have so much time but we will still talk john herb director of the eurasia centerthe atlantic council us ambassador to ukraine from the third to the sixth year, we will speak russian. i think john knows ukrainian, but he knows russian better. hello , hello, mr. ambassador. good evening. be with you. well, let's start with this wonderful meeting. birds on tails, after which, by the way, the director of the central dawn administration flew to kyiv. don't look. i arrived. i already have a reservation for you. well, he will fly soon. discuss with our president , this is very important, something very important. the details of these negotiations are what they mean. what do you think the press is writing, so that it's just a nuclear strike, or what are you talking about? i still had according to yours what was there van woe yes what was good in ankara exactly vopros i didn’t need to speak for so long i just know that they are fasting so i understood this war and the termination of the russian game with and against ukraine, but we do not know this, and i do not speak, and

ukraine may soon receive the largest aid package from the united states, deputy director of the eurasia center of the atlantic council, melinda goering, stated that the support will be strong, and most expect that the next aid package what will arrive before christmas will be the largest aid package that ukraine has seen, she emphasized, commenting on the midterm elections in the states, adding that the candidates who support ukraine won the elections yesterday it became known that the question of providing ukraine with 40 billion e-e dollars is being decided in the united states, a part of this aid will of course go to cover the costs of the state budget of ukraine, but still the lion's share will go to armaments. well, the seventh rammstein will take place today, let's talk about its prospects with igor koziy, military expert of the institute of euro-atlantic cooperation mr. igor, we congratulate you glory to ukraine a-a glory to the heroes good day khrystyna kyiv radova 24 we would like to ask you right away about your opinion about the shelling of polish territory with missiles, a rather c

andrew d'anieri is assistant director at the atlantic council's eurasia center and says western aid isair ukraine's energy grid. this does look like crimes against humanity or even terror but i think more important than what we call russia's attacks on civilian infrastructure is how we in the west respond. the us has sent significant air defence systems, the uk has been very helpful in this as well and even europe has sent some air defence systems to kind of help ukraine defend major population centres and strategic infrastructures. we'll keep that going but we will also need to send the critical energy pieces, pieces of electrical equipment that allow ukraine's grid operators to repair the grid and, as president zelensky alluded to there, things like portable heaters so that when power does go out ukrainians are not frozen to death this winter. that has got to be on a pretty massive scale if it is not sticking plaster stuff, is it? because these strikes are also systematic. i mean, there does seem to be a very clear strategy associated with the missile strikes. that is absolutely righ

foot whole before when so when it may be forced to negotiate executive, vice president of the eurasia center listen saves the longer care drugs at the feet . the more difficult the situation could become. i think there's a lot of concern on the open checkbook on the flow and then mismanagement and the on accountability of where weapons and, and the resources going. and if you look at europe, you've got which go very little reporting in the western media. we've got demonstrations in the hundreds of 1000 against the war, anti nato demonstrations against the economic condition. we scuttled the negotiations on on bull that could, it could have ended this and, and even before this. but i do not think, i think the u. s. intention is to try to drag this on as long as possible. they don't really care as far as the lives that are law. it's the geopolitical game. and ukraine just happens to have stumbled into the to deploy, being played by the, by the west, essentially as part of this game. i do not think the u. s. is really interested in, in any sup, negotiated settlement. i think if they don't go in

we are also linda, the deputy director of the eurasia center of the atlantic council.m also happy to see my good friend arseniy yatsenyuk, former the prime minister of ukraine and the head of the kyiv security forum, i will immediately ask mrs. melinda haring to speak melinda we have many things to discuss today, but putin's blows and the missiles that putin launched into ukraine changed our plans somewhat. however, they did not change the idea of ​​our discussion, that we will defeat this monstrosity , nevertheless, what is the reaction in washington to the missile attacks on ukraine and our people ukraine. greetings , danylo. thank you for being here. shelling to everyone who was under attack today. i know that it is very difficult and certain to act in such a situation. at the moment, the us government has not issued any statement. i think that the statement will be issued in a few hours, and i think we all know what it contains. it will sound, it will condemn the attacks, it will say what you said, it is the action of someone who is powerless and miserable, that is

being carried away but we have time we are just funding on john gerb from the director of the eurasia centerouncil and once upon a time he was the ambassador of the united joys in ukraine from the third to the sixth year, and now he is just the director of this center. well, while he is gone, there is no contact , vitaly and i will share our thoughts. vitaly. if he wants to start, please, or we can answer questions already i think we may still have time for poland. i think we are here too. we also have to say that it is very important for us not to become conspiracy theorists here. first of all, i see that in our society there is a huge distrust of nato, and that scares me. what if we agree nikolay it still can't protect anyone, so we can do everything , yes, because russia, if it realizes that nato is not going to protect anyone, that the united states is going to protect it, it will be in warsaw, of course, that is, not now, wait, we will certainly defeat it, well, we will defeat it, then they they will make new missiles , they will go again if they believe that these imperial territories

lukasz . time we later i'll just transfer to john the coat of arms from the director of the eurasia centerf the atlantic council, and he was once the ambassador of the confederations in ukraine from the third to the sixth year, and now he's just the director of this center. well, while he's gone, there's no connection, vitaly and i will share our thoughts vitaliy if you want to start , please, or we can answer the questions already with us. i think that we may still have time regarding poland. i think that we do too. we also have to say that it is very important for us not to become conspiracy theorists here. in society has a huge mistrust of us and this scares me because if we agree around that too much can't protect anyone, so we can do everything yes yes because if russia realizes that nato is not going to protect anyone that the united states they are gathering, it will be in warsaw , that is, not now, we will certainly defeat it, well, we will defeat it, then they will make new missiles, they will go again if they believe that these imperial territories should be returned, they will f

well earlier i spoke tojohn herbst who's senior director of the eurasia center at the atlantic councilmer us ambassador to ukraine. i asked was he surprised by how quickly the russian withdrawal from kherson happened. it certainly is. but the eventuality, meaning ukraine taking this city, was never in doubt. there's just the timing surprised me. and so, why did it happen so quickly? was itjust that we did not know they had started withdrawing earlier, or...? i think the reason why they're taking it today rather than, say, a week or two weeks from now is that the russians finally decided that their soldiers there were in an impossible position and they decided quickly to get them out. yeah. and because, in fact, if ukraine had attacked those forces, ukraine would've been able to capture or kill many of them. and the supply route was the big issue, wasn't it, as well? correct. talk to me about the momentum that ukraine has now, and seems to have had for the last three months. how can they capitalise on this? well, what they've done, both in the north—east, around kharkiv and in northern

let us bring in a former fellow at the eurasia center and the economic advisor to russia and ukraine. it is wonderful to have you with us. although not under wonderful circumstances. what are the steps for nato partners who would need to determine verification of the facts and i guess a collective desire to escalate? what do we know and what do you assume to be the case? >> thank you. there are two russian rockets, we do not know if it is accidental or they were diverted by the ukrainian air defense. that is possible. it has been cautious. they are calling for consultations with nato. consultations which is immediate action. the three baltic states and ukraine are much more complicated. they say this is a russian attack. all for 1, 1 for all. more importantly, they have repeated saying that we are going to defend every inch of nato territory. i think the polls will come up with a much clearer investigation. what kind of rockets were these? and it is quite obvious they were two russian rockets. then they would have some proposal on what to do with nato. shery: poland is confirming thes

must make full use of the advantageous geographical position of russia and azerbaijan in the center of eurasiapian region and actively develop transport and transit potentials satisfied with sustainable development. uh, in the transport and transit sector for 10 months of this year, in general, the volume cargo transportation between azerbaijan and russia increased by almost 22% transit transportation of russian goods through transport corridors passing through azerbaijan increased significantly in the first year in ninety-eight percent. priority is given to the international transport corridor north-south, for the development of which we are making a joint effort with you. ali asadov expressed confidence that the visit of mikhail mishustin. baku will give a new impetus to the development of bilateral relations following the results of during the negotiations, a package of agreements was signed, which implies an increase in cooperation, the volume of container traffic in russia this year remains at the level of last year. this is despite the almost complete stoppage of logistics through the po

he does is unleashes a kinder war, that if they capture the center of the world, that is, the center of eurasiain other words, they defeat our country, subdue it , dismember it, then they will again be the masters of the world the next step is annihilation by iran, well up to physical annihilation, and they think that if they manage to achieve these goals, ah, the establishment of their own monetary regime. today we have the destruction of iran and then they surround china , isolate china and china will be, so to speak, isolated. uh, the failure will stop, china's advanced development plan is absolutely idiotic. and most likely, it will not be feasible, because the west has already lost the competition of southeast asia. the economic policy aimed at increasing the people's welfare shows its efficiency, however, the americans of the marked goals are unlikely to retreat to the last, will not invest money in this war and will fight and will not give up this fight. the behavior of the europeans, in this situation. to put it mildly, it is strange, while tectonic shifts are taking place behind the ba

this is the center of cross-border trade of eurasia on the territory of the west kazakhstan region ande border with the russian federation , similar trade hubs are being created on the border with uzbekistan and kyrgyzstan, as well as, of course , on the border with china, which for its republic of russia has been and remains the main strategic partner, while the countries develop allied relations on an equal footing and conduct their own foreign policy, protecting national interests. and a year the number of commodity items at the beginning of next year, a novelty of the russian automobile industry, aurus komendant, will appear in car dealerships, mass production of the first russian luxury suv has begun in tatarstan. localization. in this model, it was possible to increase it to 70% . despite the fact that, in general, a powerful crossover and stylistic and technical is extremely close to the model, aurus senate, a test drive was passed by aleksey kvashenka, aurus komendant, a russian car, an off -road luxury class, is a pre-production sample, it has a certain difference from the mac

it is the center of cross-border trade and eurasia on the territory of the west kazakhstan region and on border with the russian federation similar trade hubs are being created on the border with uzbekistan and kyrgyzstan, as well as, of course, on the border with china, while these hubs will be logistically linked to ports, aktau and korek, participating in the distribution of export import flows with the caspian countries, as well as with turkey and europe, work is actively underway to create a modern container hub based on the special economic zone seaport, aktau, we plan to develop clusters, international trade and production on their basis i am sure that this work is necessary and beneficial not only for kazakhstan but also for the entire region and, of course, for the russian federation at the same time to further expand our multifaceted mutually beneficial cooperation, offering to focus joint efforts on the following areas. the first should, in our opinion, be strengthened. activities under the commission on issues of cross-border and interregional cooperation among the key tas

partners of azerbaijan and the advantageous geographical position of the two countries in the center of eurasiae caspian region makes it possible to make greater use of the transit and transport potential, and our observer of promising areas aleksey petrov russian prime minister mishustin, his colleague, the head of the cabinet of ministers of azerbaijan, meets on the street in front of the center of heydar aliyev to greet the conversation in baku about the future, but it begins with a trip to the past, a large-scale exhibition of retro cars witnesses of our common history in a car that was used by the heydarayev officials. among them, chaika in baku knows how to cherish the memory and nurture good-neighbourly relations. it is a museum and a platform for business meetings. the heydar aliyev center has become one of the symbols of modern baku unique architecture, no straight lines, in many ways, this reflects the mood of azerbaijani business, which is always ready to seek mutually beneficial solutions, including in the context of sanctions against russia moscow appreciates this approach very muc

this is russia, the center of eurasia , that is, we are returning, as if to ourselves, russia , movingdly, of course, the russian-chinese track. today quite rightly already noted. this e is in all, so to speak, official e channels, but xi jinping declare. what, and china is ready to support energy security together with russia? well, in fact, everything has been said, that is, all this hysteria, but around, and the fuss of the european union around the price in general, all these combinations, so to speak, they are clearly defined by moscow and beijing, moreover, it is very important to wear a soundtrack like a chinese one. today it is not just two-sided self- sufficient. yes, we have talked more than once in this studio about increasing trade to 190 billion. system. uh, the ruble yuan, and national currencies 30% about that, which is currently being developed and cross-border banking interbank parallel you have payments and a lot. what else is all this, but more importantly, in fact, after all, uh, as if the russian-chinese format, he said - and here the third point is new regarding,

such, uh, the geostrategic center of the conflict, but already on another point of eurasia, and eurasiaa very serious boost to our special military operation and uh, saudi arabia started to play its game. algeria has said it will be in brix and yesterday lavrov said there are already more than a dozen countries lining up for brix e during a meeting with their indian counterpart. it really is. this is what is happening in the world right now. this is really a rapid rebalancing of forces, and in our favor , russia, which creates a powerful bloc. eh, such forces er, who are ready to resist american hegemony, the fact that the americans are now pushing china away further and further actually only strengthens the position. russia is here as the center of the unification of such forces free from american hegemony. well , i absolutely agree with you. eh, look. let's go back a little to the american elections. uh, what were they talking about today, uh, democrats or republicans, well, the classic pattern in the last decade has been that democratic administrations are more prone to military adve
