The Russian Foreign Ministry: Normalization of Russia-US Relations Still Far Off
Aleksey Drobinyin, Director of the Department of Foreign Policy Planning at the Russian Foreign Ministry, stated that normalization of Russia-US relations remains far off, and that the United States' refusal to regard Russia as a military adversary or existential threat could be a step in the right direction.
Speaking to the Serbian newspaper Politika, Drobinyin said: "I wouldn't call it normalization—it's still very distant. A more accurate description would be a partial resumption of bilateral dialogue, which represents some progress compared to the late stage of the Biden administration in the U.S."
He also noted that in the U.S. national security strategy, Russia is described as a persistent threat. Furthermore, Washington is not eager to lift sanctions against Russia but instead seeks 'absolute security,' a serious source of instability in the nuclear age.
He emphasized: "The U.S. refusal to view Russia as a military adversary or an existential threat could indeed be a positive step forward."
