Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said mentioning Russia in the new US national security strategy is very important.
Quote her RIA Novosti.
“It is also important that Russia is mentioned in the document in the context of pan-European security and that there are no calls for systematic containment of our state nor increased economic pressure on us,” the diplomat said.
Previously, the US permanent representative to NATO, Matthew Whitaker, said that the US and President Donald Trump were the only forces capable of bringing Russia and Ukraine to the negotiating table.
