NCSEJ WEEKLY NEWS BRIEF Washington, D.C. June 23, 2017 NCSEJ WEEKLY NEWS BRIEF Washington, D.C. June 23, 2017 Trump meets Ukrainian leader amid Russia investigation By Vivian Salama Washington Post, June 20, 2017 https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-meets-poroshenko-for-brief-drop-in-visit/2017/06/20/3f0aa70c- 55ce-11e7-840b-512026319da7_story.html?utm_term=.0ef47589bbaf WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump met with his Ukrainian counterpart Tuesday amid intensifying questions over whether his administration will step in to protect partners in the face of Russian aggression. The meeting with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko was originally described by the White House as a brief “drop-in.” But the two presidents posed for photographs in the Oval Office and made brief remarks following Poroshenko’s more extensive meetings with Vice President Mike Pence and the administration’s top national security advisers. With the Ukrainian leader sitting by his side, Trump said it was a “great honor” to meet Poroshenko and that “a lot of progress has been made” in the U.S. relationship with Ukraine. There was no mention of Russia, nor did Trump respond to questions about the ongoing investigation over possible collusion by members of the Trump administration with Russia during the 2016 presidential election. Trump staunchly denies he had any contact with Russian officials during the campaign and has tweeted that the investigation is a “witch hunt” spearheaded by Democrats bitter over losing the election. Trump has maintained that he hopes to establish better ties with Moscow, repairing ill will from the Obama era that resulted from Russia’s 2014 annexation of Ukraine’s Crimea region and its widely condemned support of Syria’s President Bashar Assad, despite his attacks against civilians. In April, following a suspected chemical attack against civilians in northern Syria by government forces, Trump said U.S. relations with Russia “may be at all-time low.” But less than a month later, the president hosted top Russian diplomats in a closed-door Oval Office meeting that suggested relations weren’t so bad after all. Photos later emerged showing Trump laughing with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Russia’s envoy to the U.S., Sergey Kislyak. The White House press corps was not allowed access to that meeting. Trump has also raised concerns among NATO allies about whether he would turn his back on the military alliance, which partly promises U.S. support for European allies against Russian aggression. Trump has worked to assure European leaders that he will continue to support the alliance but insists that member countries meet their financial obligations to “pay their fair share.” Poroshenko, speaking softly, said Tuesday he hopes the two countries can engage in “effective collaboration.” In his meeting later with Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, Poroshenko said, “I think that we can expand our cooperation because we fight not only for our territorial integrity and our independence, not only for our sovereignty, we are fighting for freedom, we are fighting for democracy.” The White House meeting began shortly after the Trump administration announced it has imposed sanctions on two Russian officials and three dozen other individuals and companies over Russian activities in Ukraine. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said the new penalties are designed to “maintain pressure on Russia to work toward a diplomatic solution.” In all, Tuesday’s action targets 38 individuals and firms. Any assets they have in the U.S. are now blocked. Americans are prohibited from doing business with them. The Russian officials affected are Moscow’s envoy for overseas Russians and its chairman for humanitarian assistance in separatist-held, eastern Ukraine. Lavrov, speaking in Moscow Tuesday following talks with his French counterpart Jean-Yves Le Drian, said the new restrictions “don’t help to improve the climate.” He added that he could “only voice regret about the Russo- phobic obsession of our American colleagues ... that has gone beyond any limits.” Tensions between the U.S. and Russia are high even as the White House considers scheduling a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of next month’s G20 meeting. Russia threatened this week to target U.S. coalition planes after the U.S. shot down a Syrian fighter jet for the first time. White House statements on Poroshenko’s meetings with both Trump and Pence made no mention of Russia. However, White House spokesman Sean Spicer said Tuesday that the topic of Russia “obviously came up to discussion with the president today.” Spicer said the administration will continue to “advocate” for sanctions so long as Russia continues its aggression in eastern Ukraine. Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman John McCain on Tuesday lambasted the administration’s nominee to be the No. 2 official at the Pentagon, Boeing executive Patrick Shanahan, for initially sidestepping questions on whether he favors providing lethal weaponry to Ukraine. Shanahan told McCain he now supports it, but that did not seem to satisfy McCain, who said he was disappointed that the nominee did not initially have an opinion. “Do not do that again, Mr. Shanahan, or I will not take your name up for a vote before this committee,” said McCain. “We’ve not provided lethal defensive weapons to Ukraine in the past, but we also don’t rule out the option of doing so in the future,” said Pentagon spokesman Jeff Davis. Readout of the Vice President’s Meeting with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko Office of the Press Secretary The White House, June 20, 2017 https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/06/20/readout-vice-presidents-meeting-ukrainian-president- petro-poroshenko The Vice President met today with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to reaffirm the United States' support for a peaceful resolution of the conflict in eastern Ukraine and for President Petro Poroshenko's implementation of the reforms necessary to transform Ukraine into a peaceful, prosperous, and secure European country. The Vice President highlighted continuing U.S. support for the Normandy Format negotiations to implement the Minsk agreements and stressed the importance of continued reforms to fight corruption, improve the business climate, and keep Ukraine's International Monetary Fund program on track. Trump Imposes New Sanctions on Russia Over Ukraine Incursion By Alan Rappeport and Neil MacFarquhar New York Times, June 20, 2017 https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/20/world/europe/united-states-sanctions-russia-ukraine.html WASHINGTON — The Trump administration ratcheted up pressure on Russia on Tuesday, unveiling sanctions on more than three dozen additional individuals and organizations that have participated in the country’s incursion in Ukraine. The Treasury Department made the announcement on the same day that President Trump hosted his Ukrainian counterpart, Petro O. Poroshenko, at the White House to discuss a peaceful resolution to the conflict with Russia. The sanctions also came as Mr. Trump continues to face questions about whether his campaign colluded with Russia to help him defeat Hillary Clinton. The new sanctions underscored the renewed tension in already abysmal relations between Washington and Moscow. On Monday, Russia threatened to target American and other coalition aircraft over Syria a day after an American fighter jet shot down a Syrian warplane. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said there should be no sanctions relief for Russia until it meets its obligations under the Minsk agreements — the 2015 cease-fire deal between Russia and Ukraine. “These designations will maintain pressure on Russia to work toward a diplomatic solution,” he said. “This administration is committed to a diplomatic process that guarantees Ukrainian sovereignty.” Mr. Trump and President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia are expected to meet for the first time on the sidelines of the G-20 summit meeting in Hamburg, Germany, early next month. Sanctions are one of many potentially thorny issues on the table. Mr. Putin was asked last week on his nationwide live call-in show whether Russia could weather sanctions indefinitely. He said the West had been trying to contain Russia for hundreds of years with such measures, with Russia’s 2014 annexation of Crimea the latest excuse. In some ways, he said, sanctions have made the country stronger as it has grown more self-reliant, but they have also harmed the Russian economy and Western countries that interact with it. “All of these restrictions do not produce anything good, and we should work toward a global economy that functions without these restrictions,” Mr. Putin said. Asked about the latest sanctions at a news conference on Tuesday, Sergey V. Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister, said that they were once again adopted “out of the clear blue sky” and that he regretted the “Russophobic obsession” of the United States. The 38 individuals and entities newly designated by the Treasury Department were largely involved in efforts to try to knit Crimea and the breakaway Donbass region in eastern Ukraine more closely to Russia. A few were cheerleaders for the efforts. Given that few of the individuals and entities have any known interactions outside Russia or areas of Ukraine under Russian influence, it is unclear that the sanctions will have an immediate effect on their work. Various shell companies and banks used to extend Russian influence in the separatist regions of Donetsk and Luhansk were designated, as were officials who had suggested measures like using the Russian ruble in the region or issuing local passports that Russia would recognize. In Crimea, the company insuring a $3 billion project to build a bridge linking the peninsula to the mainland was targeted, as well as a tourism project in the coastal city of Alushta. Among the most intriguing sanctions were those involving a motorcycle gang, Mr. Putin’s chef and a shadowy company that supplies contract soldiers to Russian military efforts overseas.

  • Report on Central Asia I Spent My Last Semester Abroad at the Kazakhstan Institute of Management, Economics and Strategic Research (KIMEP)
    Report On Central Asia I spent my last semester abroad at the Kazakhstan Institute of Management, Economics and Strategic Research (KIMEP). In this report I'm going to go into the way Central Asia, and Kazakhstan in particular, has been treated before and during the soviet period, and what the situation is like there today. Early Central Asia Early Central Asia has a long history going back to the Mongol Empire, the Golden Horde and the various Khanates which succeeded it. I didn't study much of this history so I can't explain it in much detail. I do know that for most of this period the peoples of Central Asia were largely nomadic. The exception are the ancient cities which lie along the silk road: Bukhara, Samarkand, the holy city of Turkestan, and Almaty. These are clustered around what is currently eastern Uzbekistan/southern Kazakhstan, and aside from Almaty they show the remains of remarkably advanced and sophisticated societies. Their position on the silk road allowed them to grow out from simple trading posts to proper towns and their strategic position made them good areas to fortify. This split between sedentary and nomadic life probably contributed to the ongoing rivalry between Uzbeks and Kazakhs. That and the fact that Uzbeks at one point invaded and controlled large swathes of Kazakh territory. It seems much of the history around this is slightly distorted by thegoogle national image of each country. The Uzbeks see their conquest of the Kazakh territories as benevolent while the Kazakhs proudly celebrate the anti-colonial warlord Eset Batyr.
