US-RUSSIA: Russia's Shoigu Confirms US Invited To Security Conference

US-RUSSIA

Sergei Shoigu, Secretary of Russian Security Council and former defence minister, has confirmed to state-run TASS that the United States will be invited to attend an international security conference in Moscow running 27-29 May. Shoigu claims "representatives from more than 100 countries have already confirmed their participation in the upcoming meeting". Shoigu's comments come as another overture towards the United States as both sides seek to display improving bilateral relations following the call between Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump earlier this week. 

  • Such signs of rapprochement are already causing significant concern in Kyiv, Brussels, and other European capitals. Euractiv reports from at the ongoing EUCO summit, that an unnamed EU official said "there was a shared view that no real negotiations are taking place at the moment".
  • Trump's call for the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant to come under US control has already ruffled feathers - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that he told Trump in a call on 19 March that only Ukrainian control of the plant can ensure its functioning, and that he did not discuss the topic of US ownership with the US president.
  • Zelenskyy also confirms that Ukrainian and US technical teams will meet on Monday 24 March in Saudi Arabia to discuss progress towards a ceasefire. As expected, this will be separate to the meeting between US and Russian teams set to take place on Sunday 23 March according to US Middle East envoy Steven Witkoff.
