He added: So far, only initial and tentative steps have been taken to bring these relations out of the previous stagnation.
The General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces reported to Russian President Vladimir Putin yesterday that tests of the Borostnik missile at a nuclear facility had been successfully completed. The weapon is capable of flying long distances at low altitudes, which reduces its vulnerability to air defense systems.
Since Donald Trump took office in the United States, Moscow and Washington have been working to normalize bilateral relations. However, Washington has recently taken unfriendly steps, including imposing sanctions on Russia’s oil sector, in an attempt to reach a so-called agreement over the war in Ukraine.
Moscow has stressed that it will not make decisions under pressure and that Washington’s actions will not help normalize relations. Also, these measures will only increase energy prices worldwide, primarily harming American consumers.
