90 Beyond Ukraine. EU and Russia in Search of a New Relation In the field of economic and humanitarian cooperation a joint program of humanitarian aid to the Ukrainian regions in need of it should be developed and launched (possibly under the auspices of the OSCE). At the same time, the EU and Russia should work out a mechanism for joint action on economic aid to Ukraine, addressing the consequences of the current financial and economic crisis. Mutual visa discrimination and the extension of political controversies to cooperation in education, science and other areas of cultural interaction should be vigorously opposed. Similarly, systemic discussion of ‘controversial issues’ in relations between Russia, the EU and certain European states at the level of universities, research centers and the national councils on foreign relations should be launched (Track 2 and Track 1.5). In the field of interaction in the post-Soviet space a dialogue on multilateral security guarantees for post-Soviet states should be reestablished at least at Track 2 level. Discussion of the topic on the political level is hardly possible now. But experts should have a longer-sighted view compared to politicians. The issue of multilateral rapid response mechanisms to crises in the post-Soviet space should be taken into consideration. Finally, an inventory of political, economic and humanitarian projects in Russia, the EU and other countries in the post-Soviet space should be drawn up. It is necessary to determine the points of contact and synchronize them, putting some of these projects in a multilateral mode whenever possible. In practical terms, it seems necessary to run a detailed study of these and other proposals by leading think tanks in the countries concerned.
6. The Logic of U.S. Engagement: Talking to Russia - and European Allies in the Lead Sean Kay The continuing crisis in Ukraine raises fundamental questions about how best for the United States to engage with adversaries and allies. This chapter examines the American approach to engaging Russia before and during the Ukraine crisis. It shows that Russia’s illegal annexation of Crimea has added greater cohesion to the West while accelerating a rebalancing of responsibility sharing between the United States and Europe. The United States has calibrated its approach towards Russia so as to sustain engagement while putting capable allies in lead diplomatic, economic, and military roles. A careful mix of political and economic punishment, diplomatic engagement, and symbolic reassurance of NATO members provides a framework for limiting the damage done by Russia’s irresponsible behavior. At the same time, as the 2013 crisis over Syria’s use of chemical weapons and the 2015 Iran nuclear bargaining showed, America works with Moscow when interests align. Meanwhile, as the United States continues with its ‘Asia Pivot’, the need for European allies to assume an even greater role will accelerate – not with more spending on defense, but with pooling of military capabilities.
