David Riley | Thursday, October 8<\/b><\/h4>\n

by Michael Brinley<\/span><\/p>\n

\"David<\/a><\/p>\n

David Riley, 1st Secretary, Foreign and Security Policy at the British Embassy to the United States, talked about UK\/EU post-Crimea policy toward Russia from the perspective of a policy practitioner.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

To put it lightly, the last two years of international relations with Russia have been ominously dynamic. Since the day Victor Yanukovych backed out of the European Union Association Agreement up through the recent Russian activities in Syria, Russia in the eyes of the West has only grown more polemical and foreboding. The decisions of longtime Russian leader, Vladimir Putin, are considered with great scrutiny and little optimism for a bright future.<\/span><\/p>\n

In his recent address, First Secretary of Foreign Affairs at the British Embassy in D.C., David Riley, explained how we got to the current situation. Deftly summarizing important turning points in the geopolitical situation and giving a practitioner and British policymaker\u2019s perspective, Riley walked through the Euromaidan, the ousting of Yanukovich, the annexation of Crimea, the emergence of conflict in the Donbass, and the effects of the various Minsk Agreements. Riley proceeded to explain the evolving British position in regards to punishing bad Russian behavior and encouraging reform and development in Ukraine. Kicking off the question and answer segment, Riley asked a Rooseveltian rhetorical question: \u201cWhat\u2019s the greatest threat to Ukraine? Ukraine itself.\u201d Riley identified the struggles that the newly minted Ukrainian government has faced in overcoming entrenched patrimonialism and corruption. It has had a hard row to hoe: \u201cBy the time Yanukovych fled Ukraine, he had stolen $10 billion from the Ukrainian people.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Riley answered questions about Russia\u2019s pivot to China and underplayed the significance of the relationship or the probability that China would be a dependable partner for Russia in the years to come. He addressed some of the institutions at the root of Russia\u2019s attempt to become the spokesperson for a \u201cmulti-polar world.\u201d Riley asserted, \u201cWithout Ukraine as a member, the Eurasian Union is no more than a pet project for Putin,” pointing out that since the conflict in Ukraine, the other two major members, Belarus and Kazakhstan, have been only tepid supporters of Russian policy. <\/span><\/p>\n

Audience members heard from a civil servant in the employ of queen and parliament, and Riley deftly avoided commentary on internal political circumstances. He did however manage to make a <\/span>Yes, Minister<\/span><\/i> reference, likening himself to the popular BBC miniseries\u2019 character, Bernard Wooley<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Will Pomeranz | Friday, October 9<\/b><\/h4>\n

Both of the talks were given just days after Russia began its bombing missions in Syria, directly joining the coalition against ISIL but on the side of supporting the Assad government, causing serious distrust among Western observers about Russian motives. The immediate prognosis was that the bid had been a gamble and ultimately a long-term foible for Putin. In coming out with force in support of the Assad regime, Putin was alienating the majority of the Muslim population in Russia and on its borders who are Sunni, in addition to putting his most sympathetic Western European country, France, on his bad side. Russia has been a long time supporter of Bashar al-Assad, the Alawite London educated ophthalmologist-turned authoritarian leader. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"Will<\/a><\/p>\n

Graduate students, faculty, and community members attended the talk by Will Pomeranz and many had an opportunity to ask questions of the Kennan Institute expert on Russia.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

William Pomeranz, delivering an address on the effectiveness of the sanctions regimes on Russia rallied together an impressive range of statistical evidence that the sanctions were <\/span>certainly<\/span><\/i> weakening the Russian economy. Without a doubt the other crucial factor in Russian economic decline is the current relatively low global oil prices. The windfall of energy money that Russia has received from oil and gas has historically proven to be a crutch that has \u201ckept Russia from innovating\u201d economically. Pomeranz\u2019s talk was all gloom for the current state of the Russian economy. He pointed out the various sectors where they were getting hit the hardest: \u201cWhat ails the Russian economy? Take your pick: pensions keeping pace with inflation, regional governments are broke (up to 20 of the 85 are in default), utility rates are about to increase dramatically, car manufacturing is down, ruble decreased by half in the last year.” In addition, “Deutsche Bank is closing its Moscow office.” Russia has always been a good market for the Germans and this symbolic move carries some significant portent.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pomeranz also spoke about the future of Ukraine. He began by admitting that in nearly all the same ways that things are looking grim for Russia, in Ukraine they are looking worse. Pomeranz, having just returned from a trip to Ukraine concluded on a hopeful note stating: \u201cUkraine has what Russia doesn’t have—<\/del>that is politics.\u201d It has held presidential elections during a time of war. One can find a series of reforms that have begun to take effect: energy industry, foreign debt reduction, growth of hard currency reserves, there have been examples of decreasing the bureaucracy, and they have begun to bring a new generation into office.” The main issue seemed to be: \u201cIs Ukraine changing fast enough?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Both Riley and Pomeranz fielded questions about the value of sanctions and a destabilizing Russian economy. The affirmative stance on the effectiveness of sanctions seems to stem from a principled approach to international politics, as an overt gesture of dissatisfaction with bad behavior on the Russian part, but also connected to what seems to be a hope for the ending of the current \u201cpower vertical\u201d system in Russian politics, i.e. the end of a Putin regime. When asked whether they wanted to see a break-up of the Russian Federation, as many fear might happen should Putin leave power, neither Riley nor Pomeranz responded in favor of such an option, nor did they seem very worried about such a prognosis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

[pullquote]Ukraine has what Russia doesn’t have – that is politics.<\/span>[\/pullquote]<\/p>\n

One of the significant impending issues marked by Pomeranz, is the fact that the EU will have to renew their sanctions come January. While the U.S. sanction regime will not change quickly or lightly, there is significant fear that should Russian participation in Syria help assuage the migration crisis in Western Europe and should the de-escalation in Eastern Ukraine continue relatively uninterrupted, that the European Union will likely remove their sanctions from the Russians. This could result in a new divide between the EU and the US, who have been “getting along quite well” since the advent of Russian aggression. Trying to forecast two weeks into the future of global politics is difficult, let alone six months, but both Pomeranz and Riley delivered level-headed, clear analyses of the current situation in Russia and Ukraine and gave their audiences much to think about.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
