The development of events indicates that Russia and the United States will resume contacts in the field of strategic security, the Kremlin said today, quoted by Reuters, reports BTA.
Russian President Vladimir Putin's spokesman - Dmitry Peskov - commented that American plans to build an anti-missile shield, called “Golden Dome“, are within the framework of the sovereign right of the United States.
Yesterday, US President Donald Trump announced that he had selected a project worth $ 175 billion to build the new system and appointed a general from the US Space Force to lead the program. Its purpose is to protect against potential threats from Russia and China.
The Kremlin also said that no decision had yet been made on the location of possible peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, in response to a question about whether they could be held at the Vatican.
Earlier this week, Trump said that "it would be great" if the talks between Moscow and Kiev were held there, as it would give the meeting additional symbolic significance.
