Officials: Obama to Visit Cuba Next Monthby webdesk@voanews.com (William Gallo)
U.S. officials say President Barack Obama will visit Cuba next month, in what would be a major, symbolic step in the warming of ties between the two countries. The White House is expected to formally announce the trip Thursday, officials briefed on the matter told several U.S. media outlets. CNN reported the visit is planned for March 21-22, before the president flies to Argentina. Late last year Obama said he would like to visit Cuba by the end of 2016, but only if the Communist-led country makes enough human rights reforms and he can meet with political dissidents. Obama and Cuban President Raul Castro in December 2014 announced the nations were restoring formal diplomatic relations that were severed shortly after communist leader Fidel Castro overthrew the island's longtime dictator in 1959. Obama eased travel restrictions to the Caribbean island in September. On Tuesday, the U.S. and Cuban officials signed a deal restoring commercial air traffic. But general tourism is banned by the U.S. trade embargo, which can only be lifted by Congress. Cuban officials have not commented on the reported Obama visit. After the president's comments in December, Havana said they welcome Obama, but warned him against meddling in the country's internal affairs.

Kurdish Forces Say Islamic State Group Used Chemical Shellsby webdesk@voanews.com (Associated Press)
A Kurdish military officer and a medical official say Islamic State militants Friday fired mortar shells believed to have been filled with a chemical substance, possibly chlorine, at Kurdish troops close to the Iraqi town of Sinjar, wounding 30 fighters. Dr. Afrasiab Mussa Yones, director of Dohuk hospital, told The Associated Press Thursday that nine Kurdish soldiers were admitted with symptoms including vomiting, nausea, shortness of breath and itching. Yones says that further analysis is required, but the symptoms suggest chlorine was used. Col. Lukhman Kulli Ibrahim says that he lost consciousness when the mortar struck. He struggled to breathe and he felt his eyes and chest were burning. The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons has confirmed that IS used mustard gas on Kurdish forces last August.
Patriarch Kirill meets scientists – and converses with flightless bird – on visit to Russia’s Bellingshausen Station on King George’s Island
Fresh from his historic meeting in Cuba with Pope Francis last week, the head of the Russian Orthodox church has broken new ground again with a visit to Antarctica to commune with penguins.
Patriarch Kirill flew from Punta Arenas in Chile to Russia’s Bellingshausen Station on King George’s Island, becoming the first head of the Russian Orthodox church to visit the seventh continent. The station, which is home to 30 scientists studying weather conditions, marine mammals and sea ice, is named after the imperial Russian navy captain Fabian von Bellingshausen, who is generally credited with discovering Antarctica in 1820.

US Extremist Groups Surged in 2015, Researchers Sayby webdesk@voanews.com (Reuters)
Extremist groups proliferated in the United States in 2015, a U.S. research group said Wednesday, as ideologically driven violence and incendiary political rhetoric created fertile conditions for white supremacists and other fringe actors. The Southern Poverty Law Center said the number of far-right "hate groups" grew to 892 in 2015 from 784 the year before, spurred by battles over the Confederate flag, gay marriage, immigration and Islamic terrorism. The SPLC also reported an increase in armed citizen militias, to 998 in 2015 from 874 the year before, as anti-government activists were energized by land-use clashes with the federal government in the West and fears that the Obama administration may tighten gun laws. On the other end of the political spectrum, black separatist groups advocating anti-Semitic views grew to 180 chapters last year, up from 113 in 2014, according to the SPLC. Unlike activists in the Black Lives Matter movement who have sought to reduce police violence, black separatist groups like Israel United in Christ have advocated anti-Semitic and anti-white views. Not all extremist movements have flourished. Established neo-Nazi groups like the National Alliance and the Aryan Nations have been hobbled by financial woes and leadership battles, the SPLC said. More Klan chapters But the number of Ku Klux Klan chapters more than doubled to 190 from 72, the SPLC said, invigorated by more than 300 rallies after South Carolina took down the Confederate battle flag from its capitol grounds in the wake of a June massacre of nine African-American churchgoers in Charleston. Stormfront, a white supremacist website, has been adding about 25,000 registered members annually for the past several years and now counts more than 300,000 members, according to the SPLC. White supremacists have told Reuters that they are encouraged by the success of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, who has referred to Mexicans as "rapists" and called for a ban on all Muslim immigrants. The December massacre of 14 people in San Bernardino, California, by two Islamic State supporters spurred a wave of vandalism and harassment directed at U.S. Muslims. According to several estimates, 2015 saw a new peak in domestic political violence. The Anti-Defamation League estimated that at least 52 people were killed by domestic extremists, the highest figure since the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, which killed 168 people. The increase in extremist activity has drawn the attention of the U.S. Justice Department, which is stepping up efforts to head off violent attacks by such groups.

Iraq informed an international watchdog agency of the theft last November of an industrial radiography device that carries potentially fatal radioactive substances.
During the Munich Security Conference, the Barack Obama administration’s messages about Ukraine were inevitably affected by being paired with entreaties for Russian cooperation in Syria (seePart One in EDM, February 16). After Secretary of State John Kerry had spoken in that spirit in Munich (Ukrinform, February 13), President Obama called Russian President Vladimir Putin, on February 14, from Washington, asking Putin to play a constructive role in Syria and stop bombing US-backed local forces there. For his part, Putin asked that Ukraine “without further delay […] fulfill its political obligations” toward the Donetsk-Luhansk authorities under the Minsk armistice (Kremlin.ru, Whitehouse.gov, February 14).
Obama and Kerry each urged Russia and its protégés to fulfill their own military commitments under the Minsk armistice. But they yielded to Russia’s demand for “elections” to be staged in the Russian-occupied territory. Obama called for “quickly reaching agreement” on holding elections there, and Kerry asked Russia to “support free and fair elections” there. Since Moscow and Donetsk-Luhansk are trying to rush Kyiv into authorizing such “elections,” Obama’s and Kerry’s remarks will be read as undercutting Kyiv’s position.
On the economic sanctions against Russia, Kerry adopted unusually firm language: the US and its European allies shall maintain the sanctions “for as long as necessary” until the Minsk armistice is fully implemented. “Russia has a simple choice: either it complies with the armistice or it will continue to experience the consequences of economic sanctions. The way to ease the sanctions is by withdrawing weaponry and troops from the Donbas” (Ukrinform, February 13). Obama, however, did not mention the economic sanctions in his call to Putin, as officially reported.
Kerry’s remarks in Munich showed less optimism than he had evinced a few weeks earlier at the World Economic Forum in Davos. There, Kerry had deemed that “with bona fide, legitimate intent to solve the problem on both sides [sic], it is possible in these next months to find those Minsk agreements implemented and to get to a place where sanctions can be appropriately, because of the full implementation, removed” (State.gov, January 21). And in Washington, the State Department’s Sanctions Policy Coordinator, Daniel Fried, had announced, “We see Russia becoming more inclined to a diplomatic solution, hopefully we get there in the course of this year”—in which case the major sanctions on Russia would be lifted, though not the minor ones related to the annexation of Crimea (RFE/RL, January 16).
Both of those statements seemed to communicate the Obama administration’s hope to achieve some kind of compromise with Russia about Ukraine before the expiry of the administration’s term of office. The time-frame suggested by both officials reflected that hope. Any compromise would be confined to Donetsk-Luhansk, excluding Crimea from the diplomatic agenda. Western sanctions on Russia for annexing Crimea outright—and turning it into a power-projection platform threatening North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) members around the Black Sea—are almost trivial. According to Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, speaking to the press during the Munich conference, “there is no such issue as Crimea, it does not exist for Russia, it is closed forever” (Euronews, February 14).
An informal meeting of the Normandy Four countries was also held during the Munich Conference. Breaching the etiquette, Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov went public straight from that meeting to present Ukraine with a new demand: Russia seeks Ukrainian recognition of the armed forces of the Donetsk and Luhansk “people’s republics” (DPR, LPR). Recognition should take the form of Ukraine accepting representatives of DPR-LPR forces in their own right into the “Joint Center for Control and Coordination” (JCCC). This body, assigned to monitor compliance with the ceasefire, is comprised of Russian and Ukrainian military officers and operates by agreement between the respective defense ministries. Ukraine refuses to legitimize the DPR-LPR and their militaries.
According to Lavrov, “this situation is absolutely unacceptable. Kyiv does not recognize the Donetsk and Luhansk republics as partners.” While in Munich, Lavrov asked the German, French, and US diplomats there to tell Ukraine “that this has to come to an end” (Interfax, February 15). This demarche confirms Russia’s intention to continue fielding the DPR- and LPR-flagged militaries in this territory as an accompaniment to any political settlement.

The Kremlin is once again seeking to use the Kurds, the largest stateless national group in the world, for Moscow’s own purposes. In particular, Russia has opened a quasi-diplomatic representation office in Moscow for Syria’s Kurds. Moreover, Vladimir Zhirinovsky, the outspoken leader of the fringe nationalist Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR) who is believed to have close ties to the Kremlin, has said that Russia would recognize an independent Kurdistan if Turkey sends its forces into Syria (Svopi.ru, February 13). But counter-intuitively, these signals actually highlight the limits on Russia’s ability to exploit the Kurdish issue given that an independent Kurdistan would threaten Russian allies as well as Turkey and could pose problems for Moscow within the confines of the former Soviet space. In short, although Moscow is quite ready to exploit the Kurds against its opponents, it is not ready to support their national aspirations and will again betray them when that suits Russia’s purposes.
Moscow has a long history of playing the Kurdish card against Turkey, a history that extends back to the 1920s. During the Cold War, this took the form of Soviet support for the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) in Turkey—a group that Ankara considers a terrorist organization. Indeed, for much of the post–World War II period, Moscow’s support played a key role in the ability of the PKK to cause trouble for Turkey. But throughout that time, the Kremlin promised more to the Kurds than it was ever prepared to deliver, encouraging Kurds to think that Moscow would ultimately back their national aspirations and then disappointing them when larger geopolitical calculations took precedence. The same thing appears to be happening now.
Aleksey Volodin, a Russian military commentator, argues that the opening of “a social-diplomatic mission of Syrian Kurds” in Moscow is “a signal to Russia’s ‘partners’ ” about Moscow’s support for the Kurds. He notes that there are some 40 million Kurds in the world, about half of whom live in Turkey. Other major centers include Iran (7.5 million), Iraq (7 million), and Syria (2.5 million). He does not mention Armenia or Azerbaijan, where there are still small Kurdish populations; but he does refer to the fact that there are 70,000 Kurds in the Russian Federation, most of whom came there from Central Asia after 1991 (Topwar.ru, February 10).
Volodin is careful to note that “the social-diplomatic mission of Syrian Kurdistan in Moscow” is not a full-fledged embassy as there is no such state as Syrian Kurdistan. But he stresses that this is “the only such mission” of its kind for the Kurds “beyond the borders of the Middle East.” The Moscow analyst adds that the opening of this office is a political response to Ankara’s actions not only in Syria but also in support of the Crimean Tatars, thus suggesting that Russia is also ready to play ethnic politics inside another country.
All this, in addition to Zhirinovsky’s threat, is certainly music to the ears of many Kurds. But then, at the end of his commentary, Volodin makes clear that Moscow is prepared to deliver far less than it appears to be offering. He writes that the new Moscow office is designed to allow Russia “to listen to and unite all those Syrian forces that really are prepared to preserve a united Syria,” something that an independent Kurdistan would almost certainly preclude.
As Ukrainian analyst Sergey Klimovsky notes, Russia has even more to fear from an independent Kurdistan than does Turkey. Ankara has already shown itself willing to deal directly with the Kurdish autonomy in Iraq, cooperating economically and militarily with Mosul over the last three months in order to fight the Islamic State (formerly known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria—ISIS). Thus the Turkish government could quite possibly cope with an independent Kurdistan that did not threaten its own territorial integrity. Indeed, Moscow’s only option would seem to be restarting the PKK campaign within Turkey against Ankara—which, in fact, it may already be attempting (Caucasreview.com, February 14; see EDM, September 22, 2015).
However, there is an even more compelling reason why Moscow will not proceed very far along that path: an independent Kurdistan would not only threaten the borders of Russia’s allies in the Middle East and of Bashar al-Assad’s Syria in the first instance, but it would threaten Russia as well. According to Klimovsky, the appearance of an independent Kurdistan—whatever its borders—would “provide ‘a bad example’ to Chechnya, Dagestan and Tatarstan,” now within the Russian Federation.
Thus, while other world powers are committed to a status quo in Syria as far as international borders are concerned, Moscow is even more so, even though, in Klimovsky’s words, “the independence of Kurdistan would represent a serious step toward the end of ISIS,” the fall of the al-Assad regime, and the end of the war in Syria, something powers other than Russia profess to want. He ends by saying that he hopes that “an independent Kurdistan will be proclaimed in 2016 and that Ukraine will be one of the first states to recognize it.”
Klimovsky is almost certainly overly optimistic given that Russia is not the only country that opposes an independent Kurdistan or that has betrayed the Kurds in the past. And consequently, even if Russia is overruled by facts on the ground, others may not be.

Russia’s primary objectives in the Black Sea region are to maximize its strategic and maritime influence there, isolate Ukraine and Georgia, weaken the cohesion of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization on Black Sea security issues, and limit access to the area through the Turkish Straits for the navies of the United States and other extra-regional NATO members. A December 2015 incident in which Russia hijacked two Ukrainian offshore natural gas drilling rigs provides interesting insight into this wider Russian strategy.
On December 14, the jack-up drilling rigs “Petro Hodovanets” and “Ukraina”—both assets of the Ukrainian firm Chornomornaftogaz, which was wholly seized by the Russian state when it illegally annexed Crimea in March 2014—were hauled away from their location on the Odesa gas field, 100–120 kilometers south of Odesa city (thus well within Ukraine’s exclusive economic zone), by Russian tug boats. Russia replaced these modern drilling rigs with the Ukrainian drilling platform “Tavrida,” which had also been captured in Crimea (112.ua, January 5, 2016). During their removal, the gas rigs were escorted by vessels of the Russian Black Sea Fleet and Federal Security Service (FSB) border guards. The operation was observed by a Ukrainian border patrol boat in the Black Sea (TASS, December 14, 2015).
The State Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) noted that the country had lost access to the “Petro Hodovanets” and “Ukraina” drilling rigs since the annexation of Crimea. Ukrainian authorities had, therefore, proposed imposing asset freezes and other sanctions against Chernomornaftegas (112.ua, December 24, 2015). Ukraine’s foreign ministry spokesperson Maryana Betysa criticized Russia’s removal of the rigs, calling it a violation of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and a wide-scale robbery of assets and natural resources by an aggressor state that occupies part of Ukraine’s sovereign territory (112.ua, December 16, 2015).
Russia denied these charges, presenting the Chornomornaftogaz rigs’ removal as an internal corporate matter. The illegally nationalized company’s CEO, Igor Shabanov, claimed that the rigs were removed because of an elevated “terrorist threat.” Shabanov also mentioned that the territory where the rigs were operating had “undetermined international legal status” (Kommersant, December 15, 2015). Each of those charges was thoroughly dismissed by researchers at independent analytical organizations Foreign Affairs Maidan and Informnapalm, who were working from open source shipping data and information collected on social networks. Based on their investigation, the current location of these rigs is likely about 12 nautical miles from Crimea. Most probably, they are being guarded by soldiers of the 126th Coastal Defense Brigade of the Russian Black Sea Fleet (Informnapalm, January 25).
Moscow estimates the value of the two Chornomornaftogaz rigs to be $354 million (TASS). Thus, Russia is proactively depleting Ukrainian energy assets: the estimated extraction from the offshore Odesa natural gas field deposit measures 1.17 billion cubic meters (bcm) per year, or 57 percent of the annual gas output in Crimea. Its location, 150 km west of annexed Crimea, allows Moscow to claim the field as part of Russia’s exclusive economic zone, thus questioning Ukraine’s sovereignty over the gas field (Kommersant, December 15, 2015).
Ukraine is suing Russia over its annexation of the Odesa gas field and other Crimean and Black Sea assets in a Stockholm arbitration court. But future disputes are likely to be over the even larger Pallas gas and oil field, located in the northeastern sector of the Black Sea, between the borders of Russia and Ukraine. Russia began courting Ukraine into joint drilling of the Pallas field with Gazprom since 2003 (Rosbalt, September 17, 2003). After lengthy negotiations, then-president Viktor Yanukovych’s administration agreed to a joint venture with Gazprom and Lukoil, in December 2010 (Nezavisimaya Gazeta, January 25, 2011). Russian interest in the Pallas field was so high that energy ministers of both countries even discussed the issue days before Yanukovych fled Ukraine (RT, February 1, 2014).
All this notwithstanding, bilateral Ukrainian-Russian disputes over offshore gas and oil fields are unlikely to reach the level of full military confrontation anytime soon. This is due to a variety of reasons: from current low hydrocarbon prices, to uncertainty about whether Ukraine will be able to secure a favorable ruling in the international arbitration process. Nonetheless, another possible role for Russian naval forces in the region may be to disturb commercial maritime flows across the Black Sea. This would diminish the recent initiative of the Baltic States, Ukraine and Georgia to establish a Russia bypass trade route to China, which includes a Black Sea marine shipping leg from Ukrainian to Georgian ports (see EDM, January 27).
The naval and FSB escort provided for the two Ukrainian-owned drilling rigs that were hijacked by Russia last December clearly indicates that Moscow had prepared for the possibility of a forceful response by Ukrainian vessels in the area. Indeed, in summer 2015, the Ukrainian flagship frigateHetman Sahaidachniy reportedly forced a Russian ship out of Ukraine’s territorial waters (Glavcom.ua, June 6, 2015). Yet, Russia does not seem at all concerned that Ukraine might try to hamper gas extraction operations in the Odesa field by the recently installed Tavrida drilling platform. Ukrainian Admiral (ret.) Ihor Kabanenko told this author, on January 10, that Ukraine’s navy effectively controls essentially only its littoral waters. It has little access to Ukraine’s extended exclusive economic zone—in which the Odesa field legally lies. Russia, on the other hand, has been quite active throughout the Black Sea. In fact, last December, the Russian military escort accompanying the two aforementioned Chornomornaftogaz rigs forced a vessel flying the Turkish flag to change the course away from the transport convoy (TASS, December 14, 2015).
It is likely that the rig removal operation—complete with a Black Sea Fleet escort—may also have had a deliberate informational component, perhaps signaling a warning to the US in response to its naval cooperation with Ukraine in the Black Sea. The timing of the incident was conspicuously within days of the December 10 reports of USS Ross conducting a passing exercise with a Ukrainian ship (Facebook.com/USNavalForcesEuropeAfrica, December 10).
Alliance members, including Romania, have called for strengthening NATO capacities in the Black Sea; thus, US policy is presently focused on supporting its regional allies through exercises and a persistent naval presence (New Europe, January 19). It is unclear, what US and NATO strategy would be were Russia to initiate a maritime military conflict with Ukraine, or simply even interfere with NATO members’ or Georgia’s Black Sea commercial shipment lanes and energy projects. But clearly, Russia firmly wants to gradually reduce US and NATO influence in this strategically important region.
