US, Russia Sign Memorandum on Flights Over Syria

WASHINGTON — The US and Russia have signed a memorandum of agreement about safe conduct while flying over Syria, but the ongoing mistrust between the two sides means the agreement may have little real-world impact. The agreement, announced ...

U.S. and Russia Agree to Regulate All Flights Over Syria
Tuesday October 20th, 2015 at 4:27 PM

MOSCOW — Russia and the United States signed an agreement on Tuesday that regulates all aircraft and drone flights over Syria, the defense departments of both countries announced.

At a Pentagon briefing, Peter Cook, the department’s press secretary, said the agreement, called a memorandum of understanding, established safety protocols requiring both sides to maintain professional airmanship at all times, use specific communication frequencies and establish a communication line on the ground.

Anatoly I. Antonov, the Russian deputy defense minister, said in a statement, “The memorandum contains a set of rules and restrictions aimed at preventing incidents between the Russian and U.S. aviation.” He did not go into details, but said it had “important practical significance.”

The text of the memo was not released. Mr. Cook said the Russians had requested that it not be shared. He declined to elaborate on the ground communication line, including where exactly it would be located, but described it as a backup resource to “have real-time conversations” in case something went wrong with the air communications.

Pro-government forces pushed north along several routes Thursday in a heavily contested region of northeastern Syria.

Mr. Antonov suggested that more concrete steps needed to be hammered out, including round-the-clock communications channels that would be established between the two relevant military commands and cooperation on issues like joint assistance in “critical situations.”

Russia’s Defense Ministry spokesman, Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov, told reporters that an agreement was important because the number of aircraft aloft in recent days had increased noticeably, with as many as 30 combat aircraft sharing the skies over the same area simultaneously.

“There are military transport planes, combat aircraft and drones of various size, including attack drones,” General Konashenkov was quoted as saying by the Tass news agency.

Although Russia said it had deployed more than 50 aircraft to Syria to fight the Islamic State, the attacks that started on Sept. 30 have mostly targeted central areas controlled by groups opposed to the Syrian government other than the Islamic State militants.

One of the reasons that President Vladimir V. Putin was also believed to be intent on interfering in Syria was to try to break Russia out of the diplomatic isolation imposed by the West over the Syria crisis, and the agreement Tuesday appeared to be a step in that direction.

At the Pentagon, Mr. Cook emphasized that the agreement did not establish the sharing of intelligence or target information in Syria and that it did not “constitute U.S. cooperation or support for Russia’s policy or actions in Syria.”

“We continue to believe that Russia’s strategy in Syria is counterproductive and their support for the Assad regime will only make Syria’s civil war worse,” said Mr. Cook, referring to the Syrian president, Bashar al-Assad.

What started as a popular uprising against the Syrian government four years ago has become a proto-world war with nearly a dozen countries embroiled in two overlapping conflicts.

The statement from Russia’s Defense Ministry expressed disappointment that the agreement was limited to technical military matters.

“The Russian side was seeking a more substantial agreement,” it said.

Moscow had proposed a number of specific measures to deepen Russian-American military cooperation to counter the threat from international terrorism, the statement said.

Speaking to senior law enforcement commanders at the Kremlin on Tuesday, Mr. Putin reiterated that Russia had deployed its military in Syria to prevent the threat from the Islamic State from spreading beyond the Middle East.

“By creating a stronghold in Syria and a number of other Middle Eastern states, the terrorists have been making plans to expand their activities and destabilize entire regions,” Mr. Putin said.

The Russian Defense Ministry had asked the United States to provide information about targets in Syria, but American officials have said privately that they fear that Syria will target groups supported by the United States and that such cooperation might feed suspicions among opposition groups that Washington and Moscow were allied against them.

Russia was also looking for closer cooperation in cases where aircraft are shot down or are forced to making an emergency landing, the statement said, including joint search and rescue missions. Washington rejected the idea, according to the Russian Defense Ministry.

Finally, the Russian statement added the standard line that every official, starting with Mr. Putin, makes when discussing its role in Syria — that Russia has the legitimate right to be there because it was invited by the government Damascus, whereas the United States-backed coalition is bombing Syria against international law.

The agreement Tuesday does nothing to change that, the Russian statement said.

U.S. and Russia Sign Deal to Minimize Air Risks in Syriaby lucywangtime
Tuesday October 20th, 2015 at 4:19 PM

TIME

(WASHINGTON) — The U.S. and Russia put into practice on Tuesday new rules designed to minimize the risk of air collisions between Russian and U.S.-led coalition aircraft over Syria.

A Russian defense official in Moscow said the “memorandum of understanding” suggests a potential for U.S.-Russian counterterrorism cooperation, but U.S. officials said it was a narrow arrangement that does not lessen Washington’s concern about the Russian military campaign in Syria.

There is no plan to establish zones of cooperation in the parallel air campaigns or to share intelligence or target information in Syria, Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook said.

The Pentagon has cited several instances when Russian aircraft came too close to U.S. warplanes over Syria in recent weeks. More broadly, Washington has complained that instead of hitting Islamic State fighters, Russian airstrikes are mostly targeting rebel forces fighting the Syrian government. Russia also deployed ground troops and land-based weaponry, including multiple-launch rocket systems, in support of the Syrian government.

The arrangement announced Tuesday “does nothing to assuage our concerns about Russian military activities in Syria,” State Department spokesman John Kirby said.

Cook said Gen. Lloyd Austin, commander of U.S. Central Command, signed for the U.S. side Tuesday. At a Pentagon news conference, Cook gave a broad description of the document but said the U.S. had accepted a Russian request that the text be kept secret.

After several rounds of talks that began more than a week ago, the two sides agreed to a number of air safety protocols including “maintaining professional airmanship” and the use of specific aircraft communications frequencies, Cook said. They agreed to keep a “safe distance” between aircraft, Cook said, but he would not say whether specific distances were written into the memo.

The two sides also agreed to establish a “communication line on the ground” as a backup of military-to-military communication, Cook said, although he would not say whether this would be a telephone line or where it would be located. A U.S.-Russia working group will be formed to deal with any implementation issues that arise, he added.

The discussions that led to the protocols “do not constitute U.S. cooperation or support for Russia’s policy and actions in Syria,” Cook said. “In fact, far from it, we continue to believe that Russia’s strategy in Syria is counterproductive, and their support for the Assad regime will only make Syria’s civil war worse.” He was referring to Syrian President Bashar Assad, whom the U.S. says is an illegitimate leader and must leave office.

The U.S. has been bombing Islamic State targets in Syria since September 2014; the Russian air campaign began less than one month ago.

In Moscow, Russian Deputy Defense Minister Anatoly Antonov said in a statement carried by Russian news agencies that signing the memorandum was a positive step that has “important practical meaning.”

“The memorandum contains a complex of rules and restrictions aimed at preventing incidents between Russian and U.S. aircraft,” Antonov said, adding that Russian and U.S. military officials will set up round-the-clock communications channels and “determine the mechanism of interaction, including mutual assistance in crisis situations.”

“The Americans have promised to get the agreed rules to all participants of the anti-IS coalition they lead, so that their pilots proceed from those agreements,” he said, referring to the U.S. coalition that includes Australia, Bahrain, Canada, France, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates.

Antonov added that the memorandum “shows a big potential for cooperation between Russia and the U.S., including in the fight against terrorism, which we are ready to expand and deepen.”

Just Security

Megan Graham

Before the start of business, Just Security provides a curated summary of up-to-the-minute developments at home and abroad. Here’s today’s news.

IRAQ and SYRIA

The Iraqi government and American-led coalition are making progress against the Islamic State for the first time in months.Coalition-supported Iraqi forces are on the outskirts of Ramadi and are trying to expand their foothold at the Baiji oil refinery in Iraq, while the US parachuted 50 tons of ammunition to Syrian rebels near Raqqa last week. [New York Times’ Michael R. Gordon and Eric Schmitt]

At least 45 people were killed in Russian airstrikes in Latakia province, north of the Assad-controlled region of Syria. Among the dead are an unknown number of civilians and a rebel commander and his family. [Agence France-Presse]

Gen. Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has traveled to Iraq to receive an update on the fight against the Islamic State. He has said that contrary to earlier reports, there is no prospect for Russia expanding its airstrikes into the country. [Associated Press’ Lolita C. Baldor]

AFGHANISTAN

Germany, Turkey, and Italy are now planning to keep their deployments in Afghanistan at current levels in the wake of the US’ announcement that it would slow its troop withdrawals. NATO said it will decide on troop reductions based on events, not pre-established timelines. [Reuters’ Robin Emmott]

The General Director of Médecins Sans Frontières has called into question whether the US bombing of an MSF hospital in Kunduz was truly an accident. He said the airstrikes’ “extensive, quite precise destruction” of the hospital indicated the bombing campaign was not a mistake. [Associated Press’ Najim Rahim and Lynne O’Donnell]

Afghanistan’s acting defense minister has said that the Médecins Sans Frontières hospital in Kunduz was being used by the Taliban as a “safe place.” Masoom Stanekzai said insurgents were using the hospital to launch attacks because they knew Afghan and international security forces would avoid attacking a hospital. [Associated Press’ Lynne O’Donnell]

US and Afghan troops drove a military vehicle through a locked gate at the site of the bombed hospital in Kunduz last Thursday, the Pentagon has confirmed. The troops were inspecting the damage to determine whether the structure could be rebuilt and mistakenly believed that no Médecins Sans Frontières personnel were on site at the time. [Agence France-Presse]

TECHNOLOGY and PRIVACY

An anonymous hacker claims to have hacked into the personal email accounts of CIA Director John Brennan and Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson. The hacker is described as a “stoner high school student” and released information he says he found in the email accounts. [Associated Press’ Ken Dilanian]

Apple CEO Tim Cook and Adm. Mike Rogers of the NSA continued to disagree about encryption at aWall Street Journal event on Monday. Rogers said he supported “strong encryption,” but wouldn’t go so far as to say he supported impenetrable encryption, while Cook said there was no way to build a backdoor that was only for the “good guys.” Both called for a toning down of the rhetoric used in discussions on the topic. [Wall Street Journal’s Danny Yadron and Daisuke Wakabayashi]

BENGHAZI INVESTIGATION

The CIA has said that the name of a Libyan source was not classified, despite having been partially redacted by the State Department in a recent release of some of Hillary Clinton’s emails. The redaction was one of the focal points of the sparring by Benghazi Committee Republicans and Democrats over the weekend. [Reuters’ Mark Hosenball] The State Department chalked the redaction up to “human error” and a desire to protect the man’s privacy. [The Hill’s Julian Hattem]

House Democrats sitting on the committee have released excerpts from several closed-door interviews. They say that there is no evidence after 54 interviews that Hillary Clinton personally reduced security numbers or ordered the military to stand down the night of the 2011 attack. [Politico’s Rachael Bade]

OTHER DEVELOPMENTS

Rep. John Boehner (R-Ohio) is scheduled to sign the National Defense Authorization Act on Tuesday, triggering the 10-day window during which President Obama can execute his promised veto of the bill. [The Hill’s Kristina Wong] The President has threatened to veto previous years’ iterations of the bill, but has never followed through. [The Intercept’s Jenna McLaughlin]

One of the five men standing trial for plotting the 9/11 attacks asked if he could defend himself rather than use a Pentagon-paid death penalty lawyer. Walid Bin Attash’s lawyer says he was tortured by the CIA before being brought to Guantánamo and thus does not trust the independence of the lawyers involved in the military commission process. [Miami Herald’s Carol Rosenberg]

Libya’s government rejected a UN proposal for a power-sharing arrangement in the country because the UN refused to exclude amendments added by various Islamist rivals without the government’s consent. [Associated Press’ Rami Musa]

A report on the recent activities of the Irish Republican Army will be published later today. Members of the Northern Irish government have threatened to expel Sinn Féin, historically the political arm of the IRA, from the current power-sharing arrangement if the report reveals the IRA is still engaged in terrorism. [Guardian’s Henry McDonald]

South Korea’s intelligence agency believes that North Korea is preparing for a fourth nuclear test, but that the test will not take place in the immediate future. [Associated Press]

The pilots who operate drones are shrouded in mystery, but Kevin Maurer presents a look behind the curtain in a Daily Beast profile of two operators who fly missions over Afghanistan and Iraq.

An influential Turkish cleric living in exile in the US will face trial in absentia for terrorism charges in Turkey early next year. Fethullah Gulen faces charges of “running a terrorist group” for his part in allegedly attempting to weaken Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan through a large-scale government corruption probe. [Agence France-Presse]

It’s time for the US to move beyond its focus on counterterrorism as the core of its Middle East policy, argues Daniel Byman. “By fixating on counterterrorism, the United States overlooks opportunities to prevent or mitigate civil wars and regional conflicts … . And it antagonizes allies and distorts the public perception of U.S. strengths and vulnerabilities.” [Foreign Affairs]
