Kremlin plays down hopes of Biden-Putin summit on Ukraine

The Kremlin on Monday played down talk of a summit between Presidents Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin, dampening hopes that a US-Russia meeting could ease the crisis in Ukraine.

Dmitry Peskov, Mr Putin’s spokesman, said it was "premature to talk about any specific plans for organising any kind of summits" after France suggested it was close to holding such a meeting.

Early gains in European stock trading were wiped out after Mr Peskov’s comments.

The US said it was open to talks, as prolonged Russian drills in Belarus and murky developments on Russia's border with Ukraine heighten fears of military action.

Amid fears Russia will seek a pretext to invade, its security forces claimed on Monday that a border checkpoint had been destroyed by a projectile fired from Ukraine and that five saboteurs had been killed after crossing the border into Russia. Ukraine rejected both these claims.

In Britain, Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s spokesman said “elements of the Russian playbook” that could accompany an invasion were already “starting to play out in real time”.

There was further concern about Belarus, which borders Ukraine to the south, and which announced on Sunday that allied Russian troops were staying on its territory indefinitely.

“In the shadows of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, we have seen more or less an annexation of Belarus, at least militarily, by the Russians,” said Austrian Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg.

“I have my doubts whether the Russians will ever pull out of Belarus again.”

EU foreign ministers, who were meeting in Brussels on Monday, called for Russia to return to the negotiating table after a flurry of calls by French President Emmanuel Macron aimed at brokering talks.

Mr Macron said the US and Russian leaders had agreed to talks in principle, although Mr Peskov cast doubt on that claim by saying that it was foreign ministers who were scheduled to meet. Mr Biden and Mr Putin last met in Geneva in June last year.

'Dicey situation'

Moscow signalled that it is open to discussions on issues such as arms control, but has not hidden its frustration that the West will not discuss its central demand of refusing Ukraine admission to the Nato military alliance.

The fragile situation was worsened by claims and counterclaims about outbreaks of violence in eastern Ukraine, with shells fired across the line of contact between government forces and pro-Russian separatists.

The US and its allies have said that Russia could use a provocation such as this as grounds for moving its troops into Ukraine.

Germany’s Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock described the situation as “very dicey” and told Russia not to play with the lives of people in eastern Ukraine.

“It is in your hands,” she said. “We are at the table every minute and every hour. We are waiting for you.”

The EU’s foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said on Monday that work was complete on preparing sanctions that Russia would face it if invades Ukraine – although he said he hoped they would not be needed.

While Europe has not said what these measures would involve, Denmark’s Foreign Minister Jeppe Kofod said they would be the “most devastating sanctions ever seen on Russia”.

“We are ready for a diplomatic solution. The problem is we don’t know where Putin and Russia will be,” Mr Kofod said.

Britain has separately lined up sanctions which it said would prevent Russian companies from raising money on London’s financial markets.

Western powers were facing a demand from Ukraine to bring in these sanctions immediately, with the Russian build-up on the country’s borders already taking its toll on the Ukrainian people and economy.

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said at the weekend that it would be too late to sanction Russia once it invades and asked western leaders: “What are you waiting for?”

His remarks won sympathy from Lithuania’s Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis, who said on Monday that Ukraine was “already under attack” and called on Europe to consider an immediate response.

The US said that imposing sanctions now would render them ineffective as a deterrent if Russia has further to fear from invading Ukraine.

Mr Schallenberg said Belarus could face separate sanctions if a Russian invasion was launched from there.

A German government spokesman said they were not aware that this was under consideration.

Strait of Hormuz

Fujairah is a crucial hub for fuel storage and is just outside the Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping route linking Middle East oil producers to markets in Asia, Europe, North America and beyond.

The strait is 33 km wide at its narrowest point, but the shipping lane is just three km wide in either direction. Almost a fifth of oil consumed across the world passes through the strait.

Iran has repeatedly threatened to close the strait, a move that would risk inviting geopolitical and economic turmoil.

Last month, Iran issued a new warning that it would block the strait, if it was prevented from using the waterway following a US decision to end exemptions from sanctions for major Iranian oil importers.

One in nine do not have enough to eat

Created in 1961, the World Food Programme is pledged to fight hunger worldwide as well as providing emergency food assistance in a crisis.

One of the organisation’s goals is the Zero Hunger Pledge, adopted by the international community in 2015 as one of the 17 Sustainable Goals for Sustainable Development, to end world hunger by 2030.

The WFP, a branch of the United Nations, is funded by voluntary donations from governments, businesses and private donations.

Almost two thirds of its operations currently take place in conflict zones, where it is calculated that people are more than three times likely to suffer from malnutrition than in peaceful countries.

It is currently estimated that one in nine people globally do not have enough to eat.

On any one day, the WFP estimates that it has 5,000 lorries, 20 ships and 70 aircraft on the move.

Outside emergencies, the WFP provides school meals to up to 25 million children in 63 countries, while working with communities to improve nutrition. Where possible, it buys supplies from developing countries to cut down transport cost and boost local economies.
