US and Russian officials will hold security talks on January 10 to discuss concerns about their respective military activity and confront rising tensions over Ukraine, the two countries said.

A spokesperson for US President Joe Biden’s administration announced the date late on Monday, and said Russia and NATO were also likely to hold talks on January 12, with a broader meeting including Moscow, Washington and other European countries set for January 13.

Such guarantees are a longstanding demand of Moscow, which alarmed the West by massing tens of thousands of troops near Ukraine in the past two months following its seizure of Ukraine’s Crimea peninsula in 2014 and its backing of separatists fighting Kyiv troops in eastern Ukraine.“Any discussion about European security must happen in coordination with and participation of EU,” said EU foreign affairs chief Josep Borrell after talking to British Foreign Minister Liz Truss.

Moscow, worried by what it says is the West’s re-arming of Ukraine, has said it wants legally-binding guarantees NATO will not expand further eastwards, and that certain offensive weapons will not be deployed to Ukraine or other neighbouring countries.It says it cannot promise a sovereign state such as Ukraine would never join NATO.

The official said there were no plans to move it closer to Ukraine and despite the Russian troop buildup, there was still no US warship in the Black Sea.
