U.S. and Russia Agree to Security Talks

“U.S. and Russian officials will hold security talks next month amid an alarming Russian military buildup on its shared border with Ukraine,” CNBC reports.

“The Jan. 10 meeting will focus on arms control agreements, NATO and Russian military activity as well as rising tensions over Ukraine.”

Wall Street Journal: “No sign has emerged that the two sides have been able to narrow their differences over Moscow’s core demand that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization sever its military ties to Ukraine and Georgia and rescind past statements that they will eventually join the alliance.”
