# The United States and Russia will hold much-anticipated talks next month on European security and the Ukraine conflict. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov confirmed a meeting for the tenth in Geneva. The Kremlin has grown increasingly insistent that the West and NATO are encroaching dangerously close to Russia’s borders. Moscow and NATO representatives are then expected to meet on the 12th of next month, while Russia and the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe, which includes the United States, will meet the next day.
