Moscow [Russia], December 8: Russia on Sunday welcomed the Trump administration's new national security strateg y in comments by the Kremlin spokesman published by Russia's Tass news agency.
Dmitry Peskov said the updated strategic document was largely in line with Moscow's vision.
"There are statements there against confrontation and in favor of dialogue and building good relations," he said, adding that Russia hopes this would lead to "further constructive cooperation with Washington on the Ukrainian settlement."
The document released Friday by the White House said the U.S. wants to improve its relationship with Russia after years of Moscow being treated as a global pariah and that ending the war is a core U.S. interest to "reestablish strategic stability with Russia."
The spokesman's comments came as Russian missile, drone and shelling attacks overnight and Sunday killed at least four people in Ukraine, after U.S. and Ukrainian officials wrapped up a third day of talks aimed at ending the war.
