Summary/Abstract: On 9-10 January, U.S. and Russian delegations met in Geneva, and the NATO-Russia Council met on 12 January in Brussels. The U.S. and NATO rejected Russia’s demands to grant it several “security guarantees”, including non-enlargement of the Alliance. At the same time, the U.S. and NATO offered dialogue on the basis of reciprocity with regards to arms control, military transparency, and prevention of military incidents. Russia, however, stated that it did not deem it possible to continue the talks because its main demands were rejected.
