Nelson Wong: Belarus has always been a friendly county to China

As the conflict in Ukraine passed one year mark, China unveiled highly anticipated paper on the political settlement of Ukraine crisis. This is quite an unusual practice for the country which tries to avoid meddling into the conflicts. Nelson Wong, Vice Chairman of the Shanghai Centre for RimPac and International Studies, analyses the perspectives of these proposals, China’s foreign policy amid international pressure, strenghening relations with Belarus.

Dr. Junuguru Srinivas: BRICS becomes prominent group in the context of changing global politics

It is believed that by the year 2050, the BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) could become some of the most dominant economies in the world. At the same time ‘BRICSoskeptics’ point to disproportions in member countries’ potential as well as geographical distance.

Dr. Junuguru Srinivas, an Assistant Professor at Woxsen University, shares his view on BRICS prospects.

Vladimir Golstein: Grave contradiction between US democratic principles and their implementation

The US inflation soared to unprecedented 8% and approval rating for Democratic president remains low. At the same time midterm elections didn’t demonstrate overwhelming support for opponent party.
Are there any changes in US` political landscape possible as well as the country’s military rhetoric?
Vladimir Golstein, Associate Professor of Slavic Studies at Brown University, takes a look at that.

Ulf Schneider: Many investors try to keep their foot in the door to return to Russia and Belarus

The ramifications of the surge in energy prices are seen everywhere in Europe, due to several negative factors, including the fallout of massive sanctions on Russia.
How did the exodus of EU and US companies from Russia and partly Belarus affect their business, are their any options for investors to return, could Belarus become a kind of mediator between Russia and the West?
Radio Belrus’ Grigory Mityushnikov addressed these questions to Ulf Schneider, President and Founder of Schneider Group.

MP Andrei Savinykh: Transnational corporations intend to weaken all national states, first of all Russia and China, but Europe as well

Former US secretary of state Henry Kissinger who played a key role in ending the Vietnam War told the World Economic Forum in Davos, that Ukraine must begin negotiations in the next two months 'before it creates upheavals and tensions that will not be easily overcome'. The possibility of compromise in the situation when hegemonic theory undermines international law Grigory Mityushnikov discusses with Andrei Savinykh, the head of permanent commission for international affairs of the House of Representatives.

Paul Hansbury: There is a little sign that parties of the comflict in Ukraine prepared to back down

The conflict in Ukraine has resulted in major challenges in the security, economic and political spheres. Could our region ever return to normal stage or everything went too far Grigory Mityushnikov is going to discuss with Paul Hansbury, an associate fellow at the Minsk Dialogue Council on International Relations.

Alessandro Bruno: The West don’t want to negotiate for peace, they want Russia to lose as much as possible on the battlefield

Belarus wants its position to be presented during the talks on a peaceful resolution in Ukraine. The country provided all necessary assistance and infrastructure when negotiations began and is ready to do its utmost to help resolve the situation. But it seems like the West prefers military scenario rather than diplomatic one. Why peacekeeping initiatives are sinking into oblivion Grigory Mityushnikov discuss with Alessandro Bruno, an analyst at Gulf State Analytics.

Colonel DPK Pillay : Russia is not an enemy the world should be afraid of

As Russian-Ukrainian negotiations brought some positive results, there are still efforts urging neutral states to change their stance on Russia. The balance of powers in this confrontation Grigory Mityushnikov discusses with colonel Divakaran Padma Kumar Pillay - a decorated war veteran who has served in National Security Council of India and is currently a fellow at Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses.

Nelson Wong: I believe that European countries will restart business ties with Russia

There are two sides to every story. In terms of Ukrainian conflict, Russian special operation in this country is incursion or invasion for someone, others dubbed it demilitarization and denazification mission. But the comparison that often comes to mind these days – when NATO member states’ offensives against sovereign countries that cause thousands of casualties remain almost unnoticed, the West does it best to lower the boom on Russia. This unique trait to notice minor shortcomings in others, while being unaware of own far more serious faults Grigory Mityushnikov discusses with Nelson Wong, Vice Chairman of the Shanghai Centre for RimPac and International Studies.

Dr. Mher Sahakyan: It’s highly unlikely that China will support US` anti-Russian policy

Dr. Mher Sahakyan: It’s highly unlikely that China will support US` anti-Russian policy. More over the closer Sino-Russian cooperation would help to maintain balance in Asia-Pacific region.

Gilbert Doctorow: US has its knee to the neck of Europe in the form of NATO

Gilbert Doctorow: US has its knee to the neck of Europe in the form of NATO and through it – to the whole world. If Russians are successful enough in forcing US to withdraw its knee, that will have enormous consequences for the entire world.

Andrei Savinykh: Political pressure on Belarus obviously has economic reasons

The attempts of Western countries to impose certain models of behavior on the other states caused serious shifts in international relations undermining the values of sovereignty and independence. Democratic slogans are widely used as instruments of political and economic pressure. The true goal of such a policy radio Belarus’ Grigory Mityushnikov discussed with Chairman of the International Affairs Commission of the House of Representatives of the National Assembly of Belarus Andrei Savinykh.

Zachary Paikin: Technically we have got everything we need for the functioning of international order, but nevertheless we live in the period of instability and uncertainty

Current situation in Belarus, the role of international organizations in addressing conflicts in CIS countries Radio Belarus’ Grigory Mityushnikov discussed with Zachary Paikin, Senior editor of Global Brief Magazine (Canada)

Paul Hansbury: Many presume that the EU can – or ought to – step up and take a lead in multilateralism

COVID-19 is bringing uncertainty in our every day life. Effective response to the criseis on both personal and international levels is the matter of crucial importance, which hasn't been backed yet by any effective strategy.
Grigory Mityushnikov discussed with the expert pandemic's implication for the EU
