On Wednesday, 22 December, Acad. Alexei Arbatov will give a lecture in the Yabloko Party University on the topic “Defence and Security of Russia”. The lecture will begin at 18 o’clock.
Alexei Arbatov is a member of the Federal Political Committee of the Yabloko party, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Head of the Centre for International Security of the Institute of World Economy and International Relations of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Doctor of Historical Sciences.
The lecture will focus on a possible military conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Alexei Arbatov comments on this topic in the media: “The risk of military escalation is now ‘very significant’,” Alexei Arbatov, head of the Centre for International Security of the Institute of World Economy and International Relations of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, says. The main reason for the current aggravation pf the situation is that “in Moscow, apparently, they came to the conclusion that it is impossible to keep Ukraine through Crimea and Donbass,” the expert says. Russia has long been talking about the unacceptability of Ukraine’s entry into NATO. “Kyiv is receiving more and more military and financial aid, and now the number [of claims against Kyiv and its allies] has turned into quality.”
