Fascinating 🧵 by @heatherwilly on the P5's joint paper on strategic nuclear domain, which highlights the importance of crisis prevention/communication mechanisms.
This ties in with questions I have about the potential for P5 dialogues on non-nuclear conflict management. [1/5]

As I argue @CFR_CPA/@CFR_org, the P5 could do more joint confidence-building work on other (ultimately lower-stakes) conflict management issues like #humanitarian aid, #stabilisation etc. on the model of their nuclear talks. [2/5] cfr.org/report/major-p…
Such P5 work (deliberately at a distance from the fetid day-to-day diplomacy of the #UNSC) could pave the way for the P5 summit that @franceonu has been pursuing for the last 2 years. [3/5] news.un.org/en/story/2021/…
The specifics of this are here (cfr.org/report/major-p…). [4/5] 
That said, Russia's approach to diplomacy over #Ukraine - with an emphasis on bilateral talks with the USA and unrealistic diplomatic demands - doesn't make me feel too confident about extended P5 diplomacy right now. [5/5] brookings.edu/blog/order-fro…
