Presidents Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin will meet in Geneva on June 16, at a time when US-Russian relations have hit a post-Cold War nadir. Biden can use the meeting to make clear the kinds of Russian actions that he considers unacceptable and for which there will be consequences while opening cooperative channels on the few issues where US and Russian interests converge. The White House seeks to keep expectations modest, correctly so.

MOSCOW, 9 June (BelTA) – The security mechanisms that gave 75 years of peace to Europe are failing. Secretary General of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) Stanislav Zas made the statement as he delivered a video address to participants of the annual OSCE Forum for Security Cooperation on 9 June, BelTA has learned.
Stanislav Zas said: “The security mechanisms, which were created after World War Two and gave 75 years of solid peace to Europe, continue failing. The dismantling of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty and the launch of the Open Skies Treaty denunciation procedure will lead to a greater erosion of the existing arms control system.”
