Today Armenia is the geopolitical “hostage” of Russia.

The guest of the program "Paradigm" is Candidate of Political Science, I.I. Associate Professor of International Relations Department of Odesa I. I. Mechnikov National University Sergey Glebov.
The Trump-Putin meeting and the future of the Russian-US relations are discussed in the program.

The Ukrainian expert also touches upon the Crimean problem noting, “The fact that world leaders speak of Ukraine's problems and Russia's aggressive attitude toward it, is undoubtedly a positive sign for Ukraine. It means that Ukraine does not stand alone against Russia, though without any military support there is a package of sanctions against Russia, its economy, politicians, those who run aggressive policy against Ukraine. Perhaps it would be strange if world leaders did not talk about Ukraine in the framework of the G20 Summit, for example. This is a problem which, undoubtedly, is of concern to a number of countries. Russia should understand that it also bears responsibility for overcoming this global, crisis situation. To what extent Russia and world leaders will agree on this issue? The forecast is pessimistic that is why the Crimean issue remains on the agenda.”
