Reference News Network, December 8 report. According to RIA Novosti, December 7 report, Russian Federation Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev believes that the updated U.S. National Security Strategy has slightly opened a "window of opportunity" for dialogue between Moscow and Washington.

Medvedev pointed out on his personal channel on MAX messaging app that the new strategy is a signal that the United States is ready to discuss the "security architecture."

Medvedev said: "This means that there is space for relatively civilized diplomacy for us. This is by no means a friendly embrace, but a rather clear signal: the United States is ready to discuss the security architecture, rather than endlessly and meaninglessly imposing sanctions." However, he pointed out, "the new restrictions on Russian oil mean that the United States continues its original approach."

He also said that the United States continues to "restrain the frenzied EU" to remind it who is the master.

Medvedev believes that for Russia, "Trump's great state realism" is better than Biden's absurd globalism.

Medvedev wrote: "It is worth noting that it mentions NATO stopping expansion, but Ukraine is completely not mentioned in this context."

He also pointed out that the strategy unexpectedly echoes the ideas that Russia has advocated for years, that security should be common and national sovereignty must be respected.

According to TASS, December 7 report, Medvedev wrote on MAX messaging app that if another "arrogant Biden" enters the White House, this could destroy all the budding pragmatic approaches of the current U.S. government.

Medvedev drew attention to the fact that for the first time in many years, the U.S. National Security Strategy document refers to Russia as a participant in stable dialogue, rather than a "threat."

He also said that the internal divisions among the elites of the United States and Europe "continue to intensify," and Russia will not pay attention to "beautiful words," but focus on concrete actions. "Is the United States and the EU ready to discuss security issues with us without issuing ultimatums?" (Translated by Li Ran)
