The Kremlin on Sunday (Dec 7) welcomed the revision of the national security strategy by US President Donald Trump’s administration, where Russia is not mentioned as a “direct threat”, calling the move a positive step. US strategies have designated Moscow as a major threat since Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014 and the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. However, a day earlier, the US announced the policy, adopting a softer stance, urging limited cooperation.“We consider this is a positive step,” spokesman Dmitry Peskov said as quoted by TASS. He noted that the messages for Russia-US relations sent by the Trump administration differ from the approaches of previous administrations.“Overall, these messages are certainly in contrast with approaches of previous administrations,” the presidential press secretary added.Peskov further stressed that the Kremlin will be reviewing the updates US national security strategy in more detail and will analyse its provisions. “Certainly, it should be considered, analysed in more detail,” he said.The new 29-page document lays down Trump’s foreign policy vision as one of “flexible realism”. It adds that the US policy will be determined above all by “what works for America.” The document further states that Washington would seek a quick resolution of the conflict in Ukraine and would also aim to re-establish “strategic stability” with Moscow. Although it maintained that Russia’s actions in Ukraine remained a concern for central security.The release of the strategy comes amid stalled peace efforts by the US. Washington had earlier presented a proposal endorsing the main demands of Russia as part of steps to end the four-year-old war in Ukraine. Meanwhile, Kyiv has suggested that it would not accept a peace plan that requires it to cede territory to Moscow.Earlier, Ukrainian and US officials said that the “real progress” would now depend on Russia’s willingness to end the war as both sides held talks in Miami for the third day on Saturday (Dec 6).

The document states that Washington would seek a quick resolution of the conflict in Ukraine and would also aim to re-establish “strategic stability” with Moscow.

US softening tone on Russia? Kremlin welcomes lifting of ‘direct threat’ label in Trump admin policy

US President Joe Biden's administration in its recently launched National Security Strategy (NSS) has said that the next 10 years will be a "decisive decade" for America and the world in the global fight against climate change, promotion of democracy over authoritarianism and for reducing conflict.

The newly unveiled strategy prioritises "out-competing China and constraining Russia". The report says that "the People's Republic of China harbours the intention and, increasingly, the capacity to reshape the international order in favour of one that tilts the global playing field to its benefit."

<div class="videoWrapper trancodeVideo"> 
India is mentioned in a positive light. "As India is the world’s largest democracy and a Major Defense Partner, the United States and India will work together, bilaterally and multilaterally, to support our shared vision of a free and open Indo-Pacific," says the strategy. It also mentions the nation as part of multiple major American&nbsp;alliances and partnerships that have played a critical role in the country's&nbsp;national security policy.</div>

The Ukraine conflict delayed the strategy's rollout, as Biden spent most of this year mobilising allies against Russia and delivering billions of dollars worth of armaments to Kyiv reports AFP.

However, the strategy still substantially adheres to the President's interim instructions which he provided shortly after taking office in January 2021.

It warns that "by the 2030s, the United States for the first time will need to deter two major nuclear&nbsp;powers, each of whom will field modern and diverse global and regional nuclear forces."

As per the strategy, "China is the only competitor with both the intent to reshape the international order and, increasingly, the economic, diplomatic, military, and technological power to do it."

It goes on to say that Russia "poses an immediate threat to the free and open international system, recklessly flouting the basic laws of the international order today, as its brutal war of aggression against Ukraine has shown."&nbsp;
