The US-Russia talks on Ukraine: "Useful, honest, direct and businesslike"

What happened?

On 21 January, Antony Blinken (the US Secretary of State) and Sergey Lavrov (the Russian Foreign Minister) met in Geneva. The discussions focussed on the following: tensions over Ukraine relating to the threat of war, Russian troops along the Ukraine border, the West's military presence in Eastern Europe, and a written response to Russia's demands. Blinken and Lavrov were quoted to have stated that the talks were "direct, businesslike" and "useful, honest discussion", respectively. Blinken, in an interview, immediately after the talks, stated: "We didn't expect any breakthroughs to happen today…But I believe we are now on a clearer path in terms of understanding each other's concerns."

On the same day, in the introductory remarks to the meeting, Lavrov said: "What we expect is concrete answers to our concrete proposals in the vein and in compliance with the obligations that were adopted at the highest level within the OSCE. I'm referring particularly to the principle of indivisibility of security, as well as the obligation of countries not to strengthen their own security at the expense of security of others. We would very much be interested to listen to how the US interprets these obligations and these principles." Blinken said: "I come from consulting with allies and partners, as well as from Ukraine itself. That too is part of an ongoing effort to work closely, coordinate with, consult with all of our allies and partners who share our deep concerns about the moment we're in. We are – all of us – equally committed to the path of diplomacy and dialogue to try to resolve our differences."

On the same day, immediately after the meeting, in an interview, Blinken shared the following with the media on what he conveyed to Russia: The discussion today with Minister Lavrov was frank and substantive. I conveyed the position of the United States and our European allies and partners that we stand firmly with Ukraine in support of its sovereignty and territorial integrity. We've been clear: If any Russian military forces move across Ukraine's border, that's a renewed invasion. It will be met with swift, severe, and a united response from the United States and our partners and allies." In his interview, Blinken also made a point on how the West looks at the Russian strategy: "We also know from experience that Russia has an extensive playbook of aggression short of military action, including cyberattacks, paramilitary tactics, and other means of advancing their interests aggressively without overtly using military action. Those types of Russian aggression will also be met with a decisive, calibrated, and again, united response." On the talks, Lavrov said: "I can't say whether we are on the right path or not. We will see when we get the American responses." 

On 22 January, the Russian news agency TASS referred to a foreign ministry note, quoted: "It was made clear to Antony Blinken that further ignoring Russia's legal concerns, first of all, those linked with the United States' and its NATO allies' advance in Ukraine amid the large-scale deployment of the alliance's forces and weapons near our border, will have the most serious consequences...It can be avoided if Washington positively responds to our draft agreements on security guarantees. We expect to receive the American side's written article-by-article response next week."

What is the background?

First, the Russian endgame in Ukraine. Moscow has massed troops along the Ukraine border; using satellite photos and intelligence inputs, reports indicate the presence of more than 100,000 Russian troops. There have been reports about cyberattacks in Ukraine and an effort to destabilize Ukraine's present government to install a pro-Russian regime in Kyiv. These are strategies aimed at Kyiv not falling into the sphere of Europe's influence and does not join the EU or NATO. They are also aimed at pressurizing the US and its allies in Europe to prevent any further direct expansion of the EU and NATO into eastern Europe. Russia also wants to have a legal guarantee from the West on the above; one of the outcomes of the Geneva meeting was related to a written American response to the Russian proposal in December 2021 on the above issues.

Second, the US endgame in Ukraine. The US wants to prevent any further Russian expansion in eastern Europe; Washington also does not want Kremlin to regain the influence it had lost in the region after the breakup of the Soviet Union. The US also wants to strengthen the military alliance in Europe and is the primary reason for Blinken's meeting in Berlin with the partners a day before meeting the Russian foreign minister in Geneva. The US also wants to prevent any military engagement in Europe; despite the rhetoric of swift responses, a war in Europe is not in the US interest.

Third, Europe's endgame in Ukraine. Europe's approach towards Ukraine is not monolithic. As a region (Europe), a regional organization (EU) and a military alliance (NATO), the approaches amongst the European countries towards Ukraine and Russia has been nuanced. The eastward expansion of the EU and NATO is not a given. So is the European approach towards Russia; it is also not monolithic. Despite the threats against Moscow, European countries need Russia primarily to address their energy demands. Besides, a section within Europe would want an independent approach outside what the US wants. President Macron's statement last week referred to the Normandy format to have an independent dialogue between Europe and Russia. During his speech at Strasbourg, marking the start of France's six month EU presidency, President Macron was quoted to have stated: "I think that it is good for there to be coordination between Europe and the US but it is vital that Europe has its own dialogue with Russia."

What does it mean?

First, the crisis over Ukraine has been postponed but not resolved. Both Blinken and Lavrov have agreed to continue the diplomatic approach towards Ukraine; if there is a success, they have also agreed to explore another summit-level meeting at the highest level between Biden and Putin. 

Second, the meeting points between the US and Russia. Outside Ukraine, there are a few other issues, including arms control and Nord Stream, where Washington and Moscow have differences. Ukraine is not the only issue in Europe between the US and Russia. 

Third, while the White House would want to maintain the status quo in Europe, Kremlin sees an opportunity and reassert its sphere of influence, especially in Eastern Europe, and prevent any further expansion of the EU and NATO. Fourth, Putin is willing to take risks, whereas Biden wants to avoid them. Putin is engaged in salami slicing. Biden wants to create a larger template. Ukraine explains the asymmetry between the two.

China: Civil aviation regulator assures safety with the implementation of 5G telecom services
On 21 January, China's civil aviation regulator assured that the application of 5G deployments near airports would not disrupt flight operations. The regulator's comments came after the US had raised concerns about a possible disruption caused by C band signals interfering with sensitive wireless instruments on certain aircrafts. He further commented that Chinese civil aviation adopted the application of 5G in a combination of safety and non-safety communications different from the 5G phone networks. Furthermore, regarding secure communications, both the aviation 5G and the network 5G used by telecom operators are isolated from each other. 

Taiwan: Taipei acknowledges Czech Republic's resolution
On 19 January, Taiwan's Foreign Affairs Ministry conveyed their gratitude to the Czech Republic's Senate's Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defense and Security for passing a resolution against China's economic harassment.

Indonesia: New capital approved by the House 
On 18 January, Indonesia's House of Representatives approved the legal framework for relocating the Indonesian capital to Nusantara, a Javanese word for 'archipelago'.

The announcement was made as Western countries had decided to pull out of Myanmar after the 2021 military coup.

Thailand: State Railway to build connectivity between Nong Khai province and Laos 
On 14 January, Thailand's cabinet ordered the State Railway of Thailand to build connectivity between Nong Khai province and Laos.

The railway line would cross the Mekong River from Nong Khai and facilitate cargo transportation between the three countries. The transnational railway would cut cargo costs between China and Thailand via Laos by about 30-50 per cent.
