Russia apparently delays this week's New START Treaty talks. The meetings were supposed to focus on reestablishing joint inspections of US-Russia nukes stalled amid the fallout over Ukraine. Also, a baby step toward negotiating whatever comes next when New START sunsets in 2026.
@mfa_russia officially confirmed to #RIA that Cairo consultations on #NewSTART are postponed
Russian Foreign Ministry denies AP report Min Lavrov was hospitalized in Bali ahead of G20. Publishes video of him casually working in shorts and a Basquiat tee.
#Lavrov in a video called the reports of him being hospitalised “a special game”, said that he is preparing for tomorrow’s meetings with counterparts at #G20BaliSummit and just had a phone conversation with Indonesian colleague, discussing the draft communique
Brittney Griner is beginning a nine-year sentence in a Russian penal colony. A Pussy Riot member describes life inside one. (via @cwmiii3 for @NPR) apple.news/AK6GPeLo7Sfmzv…
Russian business paper RBC says that all tickets for direct flights today and tomorrow from Moscow to Istanbul, Yerevan, Tashkent and Baku have sold out t.me/rbc_news/58653
In his closing arguments, Russian prosecutor asks judge to find #BrittneyGriner guilty and sentenced to 9 years 6 months in a Russian prison colony for various drug charges. Defense starting it’s final argument now.
Closing arguments in the #brittneygriner trial today outside Moscow. Court house filling up with press now but here was the scene earlier.
Audio only feed for today’s #BrittneyGriner trial. Griner is giving testimony that we can just barely make out from the press room.
And here Ukraine’s presidential advisor with insights on the contours of the deal: separate agreements by the UN/Turkey with Moscow and Kyiv.
Regarding the Istanbul agreement "on the export of 🇺🇦 grain". Previously. 1. Ukraine does not sign any documents with Russia. We sign an agreement with Turkey and the UN and undertake obligations to them. Russia signs a mirror agreement with Turkey and the UN. 1/2
A UN/Turkey-brokered deal to free up Russian and Ukrainian grain and fertilizers looks more and more like a done deal. Kremlin confirms its Defense Minister is headed to Istanbul for a signing ceremony later today. Our preview from @MorningEdition npr.org/2022/07/22/111…
#BrittneyGriner enters the courtroom. I’m told the defense will present character witnesses today — including from a former Russian teammate and manager.
Trial of #BrittneyGriner on drug charges to resume outside Moscow today — a week after BG pled guilty to unintentionally violating Russian law in Feb. Hearing running late but expect defense to present her story in more detail. Her lawyer tells me “zero chance” of verdict today.
US Embassy’s Elizabeth Rood confirms she delivered letter from President Biden to #BrittneyGriner at trial in Moscow today. My best guess from inside the courtroom: it played a role in Griner’s decision to make her guilty plea. Russia says no prisoner swap until after verdict.
