In a surprising diplomatic turn, Washington and Moscow have decided to restore high-level military-to-military dialogue, according to the U.S. military. This agreement comes after a hiatus of over four years, during talks held in Abu Dhabi.

The U.S. European Command confirmed the reestablishment of communications, a channel that had been suspended just prior to the onset of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine in 2021. This step potentially signals a thaw in relations amidst ongoing geopolitical tensions.

General Alexus G. Grynkewich, Commander of the U.S. European Command, met with senior Russian and Ukrainian military officials in the United Arab Emirates’ capital to reach this consensus. The agreement marks a pivotal development in the complex web of international military relations.
