Russia, U.S. Hold Closed-Door Talks in Geneva
U.S. Praises “Professional and Substantive” Talks with Russia
Jul 28 - Russia and the United States held talks yesterday in Geneva that focused on arms control, Agence France-Presse reports. State Department spokesman Ned Price said in a statement that the two sides “remain committed, even in times of tension, to ensuring predictability and reducing the risk of armed conflict and threat of nuclear war.”
The leaders of the two countries, U.S. President Joe Biden and Russia’s Vladimir Putin, took part in a summit last month, also in Geneva, which resulted in few concrete measures other than an agreement to begin a dialogue on nuclear arms control.
The Kremlin yesterday criticized Biden’s recent statement that Russia’s economy was limited to nuclear weapons and oil. A Kremlin spokesman said Biden’s words betrayed a lack of knowledge about the country, Reuters reports. On Tuesday, Biden accused his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin of seeking to disrupt the 2022 U.S. congressional elections by spreading “misinformation.” source from

U.S. and Russia want China, France and UK included in nuclear arms talks
Jul 30 - Both the U.S. and Russia want to extend nuclear arms talks to other nations, Moscow said on Thursday.
Senior officials from the two powers met in Geneva to start easing tensions between Washington and Moscow, following promising signs of collaboration when Russia's President Vladimir Putin and U.S. counterpart Joe Biden met at a summit earlier this year.
U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman and Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov spoke about arms controls during the meeting and they will meet again in September.
According to different Russian officials, Moscow now wants to extend the discussions to include France and the UK, while the U.S. wants to include China.
"This question has taken on particular relevance in light of London's recent decision to increase the maximum level of nuclear warheads by 40 percent, to 260 units," said Russia's ambassador to Washington, Anatoly Antonov.
Ryabkov said in a separate comment that the U.S. wants to include China in the conversation.
When asked to describe the atmosphere around the negotiating table, Ryabkov said: "I would call it very down to earth, very business-like, very focused."
Ned Price, a U.S. state department spokesman, also said the meeting was "professional and substantive." Adding: "We remain committed, even in times of tension, to ensuring predictability and reducing the risk of armed conflict and threat of nuclear war."
The U.S. will brief NATO allies on the content of the meeting on July 29.
