Washington and Moscow Revive Military Dialogue Amid Tensions

After high-level discussions in Abu Dhabi, the U.S. military announced that Washington and Moscow would reestablish military-to-military talks. This decision indicates a tentative step towards mending some ties between the United States and Russia.

Communication between the two nations' militaries had been suspended right before Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, a conflict marked as the deadliest in Europe since World War Two. The U.S. military stated that the goal of renewing this dialogue is to avert any potential miscalculations and escalation.

Speaking on the development, the U.S. military emphasized the importance of maintaining military dialogues for upholding global stability and peace. This announcement followed high-level talks held in Abu Dhabi by General Alexus Grynkewich, involving key military officials from Russia and Ukraine.
