Influence on russian president putin. The coordinator of the us security council, john kirby, spoke in an interview with voice of america about the importance of the ukrainian peace formula and the summit in malta. We believe that zelenskyis peace formula is important, and we are doing everything we can to ensure that he implements and implements it. I dont have an agenda or a list of participants for the meeting in malta, but we fully support ukraines efforts to cooperate with the International Community in order to advance this peace formula. It is extremely important for us that when peace comes, it should be accepted. For president zelensky and for the ukrainian people, and it should start with his peace formula. We will continue to talk about the upcoming meeting in malta and its consequences, ihor reiterovych, a political scientist, candidate of political sciences, joins me. I congratulate you. Congratulations. Mr. Igor, lets start with china. Blumber says that there are no representatives of beijing will be at the meeting, how likely it is, if so, is this a serious sign that china is not very interested. Which is prescribed in the formula of the mayor of ukraine. Well, in principle, at the last moment representatives of china can come, there is such a possibility, and there were cases in general in history when they did so, at various meetings, at the last moment they declared that such would be present, but as for the possibility, for example, their absent from this meeting, then i would not make of it some great tragedy or some great disappointment, about which respectable people write edition, for one simple reason it is necessary to understand the specifics of chinese diplomacy and chinas desire to constantly play on the contradictions that exist in the world and maintain a balance in the understanding of china itself. Balance in chinas understanding is when putin comes to the one belt, one road summit, they talk with him there , they even sign some agreements, well, generally unfavorable to russia, well, more or less favorable to china , and he goes home, and then xin zimping makes a separate a statement that they are ready to cooperate. With the United States are ready to solve some global issues for the sake of the future of all humanity, and in the understanding of chinese diplomacy, well, not exclusively, that the arrival of the delegation to the summit in malta would be such, you know, a step that would upset this balance and a more complementary step in the direction of precisely the west, in the direction of ukraine, the United States and allies of the United States, so they may have decided to take a break for the time being, because anyway, in the near future there will be a meeting, most likely between sinzimpin and biden, directly in San Francisco at the asiapacific cooperation summit, and there is another moment, here we are we constantly forget about it, but we must remind about it, it is the socalled chinese peace plan, china was quite active with it , voiced it, received a huge wave of criticism from all sides, and then somehow left the arena with this plan, probably not understanding it very much, how can it not only be implemented now, even to some extent tied to those peace initiatives that ukraine is promoting, although ukraine has repeatedly said that we are ready to involve any countries, their ideas and so on, but china wants here to play some role of a leader and since he so far it can, well, it does not claim such a role, maybe they decided to limit themselves to observation from the side, but in principle this does not change the situation, since the summit will be attended by many countries and an important point, a large part of these. Are already working in five working groups , who have worked out certain solutions and, most likely, these solutions will be presented in malta, well, we have a fresh comment from the deputy head of the president s Office Igor Zhovkva precisely regarding the upcoming meeting in malta, we can listen to it and discuss it further, now literally a few seconds, directors of the broadcast, we can listen to shovkvas comment. There were 15 delegations in copenhagen. There are 43 countries in jeddah. Still now. Claims are coming in, and at the moment, i can tell you, we will have almost 70 countries that will take part in the meeting, well, we are working with many countries, including china, well, here is the comment of the adviser to the head of the president s office, in principle the same, there is no affirmative conclusion yet that china will not be there, nevertheless, i understand that there is hope, well, at any moment the special representative can come, it is not really. Some problem, advisers on National Security issues, political issues are gathering there, so it may not be the first day, it may be the second day, it may be joining in an online format, as brazil plans to do it, for example, or chile, so in in this context, it is still too early to draw any conclusions, the main thing is to see in general how the summit will be held, what specific issues will be raised there, what specific decisions we will hear after it is completed, i think that we are in for pleasant surprises and surprises character from the point of view of. distribution of at least a list of those countries that are unequivocally on the side of the ukrainian peace formula and are ready to make practical efforts to implement it, just about practical efforts, i wanted to ask you what Practical Implications this meeting will have consequences, and whether , for example, they will have time to hold a meeting of the leaders of the countries there by the end of 2023, well, the meeting of the leaders of the countries will be held only when the final document is worked out. Which these leaders will be willing to vote for or to support it, well, depending on which mechanism or algorithm in general , the verification of this document will be acceptable and will be accepted, i think that the specific consequences will concern those working groups that concern food, energy security, Nuclear Security issues, and it will not only be some statements , but also possibly some specific projects that will allow ukraine, for example, to expand today those grain corridors through which ukrainian food is exported, which we can export, or to strengthen our energy security, plus a very important moment, it coincided that just at the level of the European Union , the topic of security guarantees for ukraine was raised again, that the discussion there is actively ongoing, not only that certain steps will be taken in this context, and individual countries will declare the fact that they are ready to support these guarantees and are ready to sign the relevant documents, well, which will be calculated for the future, most likely from the new. Year, but nevertheless, it must be started today, so that to have, well, such a serious base of this support from completely different countries, which are located all over the planet, in fact, and which other countries can be strategically important for ukraine, except, for example, china, which have not yet joined this format, look, actually the vast majority of strategically important countries have joined, although i wouldnt divide them here into important, unimportant, any country can play a role, can act as a host country for this summit, like malta, for example, or offer some there are innovations, or professional experts who will work in these groups, a big , big gain is, for example, the fact that such countries as india, brazil, the south African Republic will be present, since they belong to this brics group, but as we can see, they are concerned about the issue of ukraine, and some kind of Economic Cooperation with russia. Is not an obstacle for them to discuss current security and political issues with other countries regarding the russianukrainian war. Of course, brazil is more like an observer there, but here indias position, it can actually play a very important role, especially if it is clearly articulated and clearly presented. We havent heard anything like that yet, but some of the information coming from india cannot help but please us from the point of view of their, well , their real assessment of the future of the Russian Federation, but i. Already with reference to the russianukrainian war. Yes, lets go a little bit now from malta to the near east. A few days ago, a delegation of the radical Palestinian Group hamas met with the deputy minister of Foreign Affairs of russia, mykhailo bohdanov, and representatives of iran in moscow. And the American Institute for the study of war has analyzed it as follows, that the kremlin will continue to use the war between israel and hamas to promote several Information Operations aimed at reducing attention and under. the detention of the United States and the approach to ukraine, do you agree with this conclusion and is it possible that you do you see in such meetings in such formats some other goals that the kremlin sets for itself, well, the key goal of the kremlin is of course to maintain this instability in the middle east for as long as possible and maybe even hope for the socalled internationalization of the conflict, that some other countries or groups like hezbollah, they will start to take part in this, well, because the logic of klimt is on. Really very simple and she understood , everyone knows about it, these are the maximum conflicts in the world, so that the United States, the European Union divert attention from ukraine and somehow untie the hands of the russians. Federation from the point of view of supporting our own country, that is the key hope of russia precisely for this, and for this they are accepting a delegation of a terrorist organization , by the way, in this story i was surprised by the relatively mild reaction from israel, well, they demanded from russia the appropriate attitude, questioning what it was at all, not to receive these delegations there, and so on, but it looks demonstrative, blatant, you know, like a slap to israel, they are fighting terrorists, and here these terrorists are coming to russia, well, in principle , everything is logical, the terrors of all countries must to unite, and here it is precisely russia that appears to be the leader of this terrorist movement, but the fact that they are not afraid to do it publicly indicates that their plans for the middle east remain, remain quite serious, well, probably, and taking into account that support, which they have not yet publicly provided, but clearly provided to hamas, maybe even now and not exclusively, which is exactly what they talked about during these negotiations. There is still another scenario, well, it is unlikely, but we have to consider it, that russia is like this may be preparing, for themselves, a certain starting opportunity to advocate for some peacemaking initiatives and say that they are ready to be some kind of mediator there between hamas and israel and help regulate this conflict without, well, intensifying hostilities there, but well, nothing will come of it for sure. Because, first of all, the other countries in the region do not really want to see russia there, despite the longstanding ties even with this country, and secondly, israel and israels allies will naturally oppose this, since they are very understand that russia the role of a peacemaker will not be played here, on the contrary, a country that will simply prolong the conflict, transfer it into a frozen phase, which is again beneficial to the kremlin, so these plans are quite obvious, and countries that are still taking a detached position should understand this. As for the Russian Federation, there are aggressions, for example, against ukraine, because they are in the same middle eastern region, i think it is time for them to draw clear conclusions on which side the Russian Federation is, clearly not on theirs, and to accept some measures to punish russia for all the actions it has carried out in this region. Yes, i only noted that the Hamas Organization on the territory of russia is not considered a terrorist organization. Of course, well, not on the territory of russia, but they once hosted, for example, the taliban , who for a certain time were considered and are still considered terrorists, so the point here is not whether they consider them terrorists or not, the point is how the world treats them and how they are treated, for example, by israel, because they support diplomatic relations with israel relations, and hamas is not a state, and from the point of view of diplomacy, well, this is a slap in the face, this is such an open contempt, a spit in the direction of israel, and well, i still hope that the reaction, even if it is late, but it will be different, yes , israel will eventually understand that waiting for something good or some kind of help, even diplomatic, from russia, well, in this story , it is absolutely not worth it. Thank you very much for the analysis, ihor reiterovych, political scientist, candidate of political sciences, was on rfe rl. Thank you. The new slovak Prime Minister, after taking office, immediately declared that slovakia from now will not provide any military aid to ukraine. Robert fitsos party, which won early elections last month , formed a coalition government. In which key positions were occupied by politicians with eurosceptic and prorussian views, such as the minister of Foreign Affairs blanarard a former engineer with no diplomatic experience, he called the war against ukraine a conflict between russia and the usa, claimed that kyiv, i quote, is fighting against its own people. Fitsu himself has already stated that it is necessary to force ukraine into peace negotiations, because, as they say, it is better to let 10 ukrainians and russians have been negotiating for more than 10 years. Each other, it was a quote. Fico also said that he does not support any new eu sanctions against russia without a proper assessment of their impact on slovakias economy. As Prime Minister, i will not support any military aid to ukraine. I will not vote for any sanctions against russia until an analysis of their influence on slovakia is on the table. If sanctions continue to hurt us as they have in the past, i dont. See any reason to support them. Well, the European Union summit brussels discussed the allocation of a 50 billion aid package to ukraine for the next four years, but the Prime Minister of hungary, viktor orban, traditionally opposed it. He stated that he saw no reason for hungary to send taxpayers money to support ukraine. Orban also dismissed criticism from other eu leaders who questioned the feasibility. His recent meeting with russian president Vladimir Putin in china. Orban also said that the eu bet on ukraines victory in the war against russia was a failure, and according to him it is necessary to look for option b, because, as he says, the ukrainians will still not be able to defeat russia on the fronts. Today, everyone already knows, but does not dare to admit it out loud, that the strategy regarding ukraine has failed, it is already clear that it will not work, ukrainians will not be able to win on the battlefields, every military expert says this, but politicians still do not want to admit it. About how to react in ukraine to these words of the Prime Minister of hungary and further build a relationship. With this country, lets talk further, on radio svoboda, ukrainian diplomat, extraordinary plenipotentiary ambassador of ukraine in hungary, 927, 2006 and 10 years, dmytro tkach, i greet you, good evening, well, we just heard Viktor Orbans comment, we also know about the position of the newly elected slovak Prime Minister, will he now in the European Union, this is such an antiukrainian duo of Prime Ministers . It already exists, there is something to be done, it already exists, well, maybe its just that politicians sometimes say one thing during election campaigns, and then do something else, im talking about this, you understand, we need to go back to the root cause of what happened in ukrainianhungarian. Relations, and the first reason is the law on education , which was adopted in 2017, and in which practically ukraine, uh, banned teaching in hungarian schools with the hungarian language of instruction, in hungarian from the fifth class, and then it was perceived by the hungarians as an attempt to assimilate those hungarians living in ukraine, primarily in the transcarpathian region, to assimilate them and not give them the opportunity to study in their native language, although we guaranteed this, and it is in basic the contract that was signed was the first the basic agreement that ukraine has signed with any state, it was signed back in 1992, and this point is clearly written there , which means that, of course, the hungarians, and it must be said that at one time, the hungarians from the very beginning, when they have already become an independent state, they have defined three. Main directions of their foreign policy, the first is integration into the eu and nato, the second is the establishment of goodneighborly relations with all neighbors, and the third is care for the Hungarian National minority in neighboring countries, and they this. The course leads to today, well, in nato, in the eu, everything is clear there, with their neighbors they are with the romanians, it seems to be normal there, and with the slovaks, although they had a lot of problems there, uh, and as for National Minorities, they are really for quite a lot of attention is paid to them, and the main thing is that they dont. Want these National Minorities to leave their places of residence and, er, to live in hungary, they want them to live where they are, but to they have preserved their language, national traditions, culture and so on, and so on, they spend a lot of money on it, they are helping, and so on, sir , mr. Dmytro, ugh, maybe orban insists that ukraine will not win the war in russia, he talks about it openly, publicly, where do you think he has such confidence from . , you see, after our relations deteriorated significantly, the rhetoric of hungary as a whole, and not only orban, but also hungarian officials, became tougher, tougher, tougher every year. I gave an interview to the Central Committee and i said that you will see that it will grow like a snowball, her eyes problems, if we dont, we will find a compromise, if we dont look for some options to remove this problem in our relations, well , no one wants to. Deal with this, that is, in ukraine, i wrote a lot on this topic, and eh, but in our country nobody reads anything, you understand, write, dont write, its all the same , what, what, that means hitting the bar with a ball all the time, so, as usual, we have mechanisms, bilateral, still created in the 90s, how can all these problems in bilateral relations be removed, so, unfortunately , these mechanisms are not used, and believe me, this is not the last antiukrainian statement of orban and his government officials, it will only increase until we sit down at the negotiating table, well, svoboda live says goodbye to you until monday, i ask you to subscribe and like this video, yes more people will be able to see it, subscribe to the Radio Liberty and Radio Liberty ukraine channels, sergey stytsenko worked in the studio, good luck.
