Kremlin Responds to US Shift in Tone

The Kremlin has praised the Trump administration’s updated national security strategy, which no longer designates Russia as a “direct threat” and suggests limited cooperation on strategic stability. Spokesman Dmitry Peskov called this a positive development, noting the shift in tone following Russia’s annexation of Crimea and invasion of Ukraine. The 29-page strategy emphasizes “flexible realism” and aims for a quick resolution to the Ukraine conflict while still addressing security concerns. European allies have expressed concern that this softer stance could undermine efforts to deter Russia amid ongoing tensions.
