just recently, and some details are already in the story of my colleagues. the g7 summit in the canadian town of kananaskis showed the weakness of this association. the leaders of the world's leading economies gathered, to jointly identify responses to key global challenges, from technological risks to wars and climate threats, but this year's meeting became not only a platform for solidarity, but also a reflection of deep contradictions within the club itself. the two-day meeting resulted in six joint statements. the participants agreed on an action plan for controlling critical raw materials: principles for the ethical use of artificial intelligence, a new program to combat forest fires, a mechanism to counter illegal migration and transnational repression. separate documents were. devoted to food security and reforms of global financial institutions.

the situation in the middle east was also discussed separately. the g7 leaders confirmed israel's right to self-defense, condemned iran's aggressive policy and advocated de-escalation of the gas war. these messages were agreed against the backdrop of acute tension between tehran and tel aviv, which has now escalated into a full-scale war. an important topic of the summit was the war in ukraine. canada. force on providing a new package military aid worth $2 billion, as well as additional loans and funding for security programs. another step was the expansion of sanctions against companies and individuals helping russia circumvent international restrictions. however, the main intrigue within the g7, due to disagreements between the us presidential administration and european allies, the summit ended without a final communiqué. president donald trump. left canada early, explaining this by the need to coordinate actions due to the threat of full-scale war

between israel and iran. such haste was perceived as a demonstration of the priority of unilateral actions over collective diplomacy. even more controversial was the statement that russia should be returned to the g7, and perhaps china as well, saying that global problems cannot be solved without the main players. these words provoked a sharp reaction. from france, germany and canada, who consider such ideas to be political capitulation. this year's g7 summit demonstrated two parallel realities: on the one hand, attempts to agree on common steps in a rapidly changing world is changing, on the other hand, there is a threat of losing its coordination functions against the backdrop of deepening internal disagreements. indeed, the g7 summit left behind such, you know, an ambiguous feeling, and we decided

to ask dmytro sherengovsky, an expert on international affairs and vice-rector of the ukrainian catholic university, to deal with these issues, mr. dmytro, i welcome you, thank you for joining us today, and right away, in order not to drag on, i will ask the main question, is it true that the g7 looks somehow helpless, you do not have such a feeling? so greetings, mr. yevgeny, thank you for the invitation, helplessness, this is not helplessness, this is such a reality, yes, the group of seven, as we know it, it still remains that club of rich democrats, but really, unlike previous years, since its founding, well, we can no longer say that this is this group that creates a strategic initiative. on the global space, and there are several reasons for this, firstly,

now we see that the interests of the group of seven are really very strongly diverge, they have always diverged, and for this there is this group of seven and these summits in order to gather the largest economies and check the clocks, but we see today that in fact the interests of the united states of the times, the interests of france or, for example, japan. well, they are very difficult to gather, so in relation to this very china or the middle east, and the second thing, we see that it is very difficult for them to still have this global agenda. to put it in such a way that it is supported by other countries, in particular the so-called global south, so that these initiatives that are being agreed upon really become international and global. i think that calling the g7 a world government is just harmful, right? well, to a certain extent, yes, it

's not a government at all, it's not, it's a completely different format, moreover, it's not even, it's not even some kind of group. is there some kind of universal structure, so all its legitimacy of this group of seven since its founding in 1975, actually exists only from one point of view, in order to coordinate its positions, and and precisely because of its importance, yes because of its democratic values, but also because of its financial weight to be able to push through some certain, certain decisions. so and to a certain extent it worked for quite a few years, yes, but if we support this rhetoric today, against the background of the fact that at least from the point of view, again, of financial decisions and the ability to support them, the group itself has long since ceased to be the majority in the world economy, then this narrative about a world government or

a global government, it is really very, very harmful, because this is just another rag for many countries representing... the so-called global south, so to speak about some kind of neocolonial conspiracy, and if today we set whole groups of countries themselves a goal, to really demonstrate some global initiatives that would be supported by others, then it is important for them to talk with different regions about how this can be done, but in no case should we not talk about the fact that this is some kind of government that makes decisions, especially since we see that the majority... most decisions still require some kind of institutional basis, which is then already there, either in the form of the world bank or in the form of projects of the international monetary fund or in the form of the eu or in the form of nato or other structures. indeed, by the way, this time the meeting took place without protests from anti-globalists, which is interesting,

but i am actually interested in the personal factor, did canadian prime minister mark carney manage to neutralize, if you will, the sometimes destructive influence of donald trump? well, in my opinion, no, it it definitely didn't work out, so we see that trump behaved to a certain extent like a host who ordered the music himself, came at will, he blackmailed that he might not come, we remember that, then for unknown reasons he went away, and we still understand these reasons correctly, so... we see that it was not possible to effectively engage the united states, and that's why even a joint communiqué, yes, and this is the most important thing, that is, this reconciliation of the clocks that i was talking about, and the agreements on various points, and as for there

was no macroeconomic coordination there, which concerns important foreign policy signals, in fact, in fact, so it's really a shame for carney, a shame for canada, yes, which... had this summit, and it's a shame for the european partners, yes, because in my opinion, what has not yet been achieved, mark carney, as such a dense host, has not been able to bring much to europe, we see that it was not europe that ordered the music, it was not the countries of the european union that ordered the music, the voice of the european union was very little heard, because we saw, that even between germany and france, there were already certain disagreements. that's why the clock reconciliation took place, but whether the same second played there, or not, i can't say that the seconds were the same there, by the way, about the clock reconciliation, the lack of a joint communiqué following the g7 summit, well, this is not a unique situation, this is not the first time, as far as i remember correctly or not,

yes absolutely, this is not even the first time such things have happened, yes, but they have happened in some. when there were some very subtle the question, yes, where, where there was an obvious veto from some side, in this case we had one and the most delicate question, which concerned the russian-ukrainian war, and we had questions concerning the middle eastern military actions, yes, that is, the war between israel and iran, which where it is obvious that the position of democracy should converge, and... and here this communiqué simply did not exist, because the united states simply did not want to destroy its own policy, i mean trump's policy. how he approached the solution these two these two wars, exclusively on this, so as not to destroy the mood and approaches of the united states, so no, it is not dramatic, it is not a mandatory

format of the communiqué, again i emphasize, this is not a stable institution like others, it is a real forum, yes, where, where democracies and most of all economies agree among themselves, but on the other hand we can say for sure that these issues were not so much... they deliberately scattered the countries of the group of seven so as not to accept this communiqué, so it's nothing terrible, not the first time, but also, but not a good signal. thank you, mr. dmytro, for your professional expertise, i will remind our viewers that dmytro sherengovsky, an expert on international affairs, vice-rector of the ukrainian catholic university, spoke with us about the g7 summit. thank you, goodbye, and we are moving on to... turkey, to a real eurasian giant, which, fortunately, i think, fortunately, is a strategic partner of ukraine, because, let me remind you, recep

erdogan, and this politician has been serving as the president of turkey for a long time, does not recognize crimea as part of the russian federation, he has his own reasons for this, and perhaps we will talk about them today, but certain... my colleagues already have useful information. recep tayyip erdogan has been in power the longest in turkey, for over 20 years. his political path began with the founding of the justice and development party, which already in 2002 received a parliamentary majority. this success allowed the formation of a one-party government for the first time in 16 years. despite the criminal record, which temporarily prevented erdogan. to hold public office within a few months the laws were changed and he took over the post of prime minister. since then, turkish politics has been largely personalized

for erdogan. he gained the support of the turkish population thanks to the economic reforms of the 2000s: stabilization of finances, reduction of inflation, influx of foreign investment. however, an equally important source of his popularity was the support of the conservative-islamic part of society. which for a long time felt excluded in the secular state, the strengthening of his power was facilitated by and the gradual subordination of the media, as well as the reform of the judicial system. the 2017 referendum , which transformed turkey from a parliamentary republic to a presidential one, finally secured the most important political role for him. foreign policy has become another tool for strengthening the position of the incumbent president. turkey is actively positioning itself as a mediator in global conflicts, including the russian-ukrainian war. from the very beginning of the full-scale invasion, ankara declared support for territorial integrity of ukraine, including

the non-recognition of the annexation of crimea. turkey also supplied ukraine with bayraktar attack drones, and erdogan's efforts contributed to the release of more than 200 ukrainian prisoners, including the defenders of azovstal. in 2022, turkey became the main venue for negotiations. between kyiv and moscow, although a series of meetings in istanbul did not lead to a breakthrough, it was thanks to turkish mediation that the so-called grain deal was concluded. in 2025, erdogan became more active as a peacemaker. there were new rounds of negotiations, agreements have been reached on the exchange of prisoners and the transfer of the bodies of the dead. at the same time, erdogan continues to balance between the parties to the conflict. he declares support for ukraine, promotes initiatives, but does not break off contacts with the kremlin. this role of an equidistant player allows ankara to remain an influential regional power, both in the eyes

of the west and in the eyes of moscow. indeed, the role of turkey in the modern world is extremely interesting, and therefore we asked to tell about it in more detail. olga budnik, ukrinform's own correspondent in turkey. ms. olga, congratulations. thank you for agreeing to talk to us, especially since the female perspective on such an interesting country, i think it has its own special specificity. congratulations, mr. yevgeny, yes, thank you, it's interesting that you summed up the leaders of these years of erdogan's leadership as president, now he has flown to nato, over the weekend there was, there was... there was a meeting at the level of foreign ministers of the organization of islamic cooperation, president erdogan remains active figure and will

probably be active for many years to come. a figure in the political arena of turkey and not only turkey, but also the region and the whole world. by the way, you noticed such an interesting moment, that is , an interesting coincidence, on the one hand, the foreign ministers of the organization of islamic cooperation, on the other hand, recep erdogan flew to the nato summit, that is, he demonstrates such an interesting, unusual, i would say, unique dualism, that is, on the one hand, this politician is experienced. cunning, i would say such a geopolitical macho, he is trying to be and is actually the leader of a nato member state, not just one that is a nato member, but one that has a powerful army, one that has significant combat experience, and both the army and the navy are quite powerful, and on the other hand, erdogan, as far as i'm concerned, is not without reason claiming leadership in the islamic world, and accordingly...

how does he manage to do this? experience, mr. yevgeny, it's all experience, well, let's say, there is a forced nuance: turkey is at the intersection of many geographical paths, it itself is partially in europe, partly in asia, it has to maneuver to meet the principles of the islamic world, and be a leader there, and look to europe, look towards the eu, be a member... nato, by the way, let me remind you that turkey has the second largest, the second largest armed forces in nato and in power, so this is experience and, let's say, a historical path, we will recall the ottoman empire, their powerful skills in building foreign policy, they all remained, i will say frankly, having worked here for quite a long time, yes

this is a powerful resource, the ability to... the ability to find a compromise, the ability not to call black and white, but white and white, the ability to emphasize some of the best features in your interlocutor, partner, or even your enemy and play on them, this formula, which in turkish is called cauldron-cauldron, victory-victory, is now the basis of turkish policy, and they are trying to do with most countries, so that... everyone considers themselves not the wrong side that lost, well, is israel being attacked so much now that it is probably not even israel itself, on prime minister netanyahu, that no win-win formula will work there, mr. yevgeny, but on the other hand, at the nato summit, as far as i understand, erdogan will not feel like a stranger at this euro-atlantic celebration, though,

well, you... also mentioned turkey's large and powerful army, and he actually has his own position on the settlement of the russian-ukrainian war and on other key issues of international relations, and in no way, you absolutely correctly noticed this, he will not be a stranger at this celebration, let's say, let's start with the fact that that when the us said that maybe we don't need nato anymore, maybe we don't need to invest so much money in nato, the countries of europe turned to whom, who they first started looking at turkey, turkey is nearby, turkey has a powerful army, turkey can become a concrete force, powerful against russia, the fact that it plays its own game with russia is another story, but it is a member of nato, it is correct, so to say that erdogan left with his messages,

the fact that he will... vote for his messages yes, the fact that it is now on such a geopolitical ridge that is quite advantageous for itself is also true, let's remember syria, that turkey has made a very good contribution to the overthrow of the regime, let's remember other, such positive keys as the agreement with the kurdistan workers' party, or rather the fact that they laid down their arms, this is an anti-terrorist turkey, which also allows them... to talk more in europe about the fact that you support our values, we fight terrorism, but we also make agreements with our minorities, that is, he now has such major priority areas of his activity that also play to his advantage, well, these are also the russian -ukrainian-russian negotiations in istanbul, attempts to stop the russian-ukrainian war, of course, maybe these istanbul negotiations, they are not...
