"We both are committed to protecting the Good Friday Agreement in Northern Ireland. I'm looking forward to hearing what's on your mind and how we can continue to cooperate," Biden told Truss ahead of their talks. As a member of parliament, Truss introduced legislation to undo the Northern Ireland Protocol, which was part of Britain's withdrawal agreement from the European Union. It prioritized protecting the Good Friday Agreement, or Belfast Agreement, for peace in the British-run region. Biden has been insistent that Britain do nothing that could endanger a quarter century of peace in Northern Ireland.

Ex-diplomats and Russia experts said it showed that Russia is losing the war in Ukraine. By comparison, taking control of the Donbas is a far less ambitious goal for Putin than conquering the whole of Ukraine. In his address, Putin threatened the use of nuclear force in the event of a "threat" to the "territorial integrity" of Russia. "Anyone who finds it necessary to say that he's not bluffing most likely is," Daalder said of Putin's latest nuclear threat. Both the US and the UK have indicated that they view Putin's escalation of the Ukraine war as a sign that his invasion is not going well.

  + stars: | 2022-09-20 | by ( Matthew Luxmoore | Mauro Orru | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Moscow announced plans to tighten its grip on Ukrainian territory it still occupies and threatened a wider war if Kyiv’s advance proceeds, suggesting growing concern in the Kremlin over Ukraine’s swift gains this month. Russia’s proxy states occupying parts of eastern and southern Ukraine renewed pledges to expedite preparations for referendums on joining Russia Tuesday, part of a campaign coordinated by the Kremlin to consolidate its hold on territory it took months to capture but now risks losing as Ukraine vows to continue its advance. The country’s lower house of parliament also approved legislation that could help address its shortage of troops on the battlefield.
☆ Explainer: Russia unfolds annexation plan for Ukraine

Russia does not fully control any of the four regions, with only around 60% of Donetsk region in Russian hands. With Crimea and the territory in the four other regions, Russia would gain an area about the same size as the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. If Russia goes ahead with the referendums and joins all four regions to Russia then Ukraine - and potentially its Western backers too - would, from a Russian perspective, be fighting against Russia itself. "All this talk about immediate referendums is an absolutely unequivocal ultimatum from Russia to Ukraine and the West." The conflict in eastern Ukraine began in 2014 after a pro-Russian president was toppled in Ukraine's Maidan Revolution and Russia annexed Crimea.

Beijing has carefully avoided violating Western sanctions or providing direct military support to Moscow. For the first eight months of this year, total goods trade between China and Russia surged 31% to $117.2 billion. "Russia needs China more than China needs Russia," said Keith Krach, former Under Secretary of State for Economic growth, Energy and the Environment in the United States. For China, Russia now accounts for 2.8% of its total trade volume, slightly higher than the 2.5% share at the end of last year. "Russia's war in Ukraine is not in China's interest, but given Western hostility, China will not oppose Russia," she added.

Russia is suffering from a lack of soldiers as Ukraine racks up a series of victories in the war. Reports from the front lines indicated that Russian troops fled as the country's military buckled under Ukraine's powerful performance. The strategy worked well enough at the start of the war, Miles said. To conscript soldiers, Russia would have to formally declare a state of war — an escalation that would highlight and confirm Russia's troubled performance in the conflict. "Continuing to refuse to mobilize is denying the Russian military the resource it needs most, which is personnel," Miles said.
