While generally pragmatic regarding relations with Russia, the document needs clarity on some issues, the Foreign Ministry has said<\/strong><\/p>\n

The new US National Security Strategy could lay the foundation for joint cooperation between Moscow and Washington, although some provisions of the document need clarity,\u00a0Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated on Monday.<\/p>\n

The revised strategy released last week by the administration of US President Donald Trump marks a major shift from the 2022 version and reflects a rethink of American claims to hegemony, according to Zakharova. However, she added that time will show how fully the White House follows through on that commitment.<\/p>\n

She said some Ukraine-related provisions could lay the basis for continued \u201cconstructive\u201d<\/em> Russia-US efforts toward a peace settlement and possibly sober up Europe\u2019s \u201cparty of war.\u201d<\/em> The US-EU division appeared due to Brussels\u2019 efforts to sabotage Trump\u2019s peace initiative, the spokeswoman said.<\/p>\n

Zakharova also drew attention to the document\u2019s admission of previous\u00a0\u201cserious miscalculations\u201d<\/em> by placing a \u201cmistaken and destructive bet on globalism,\u201d<\/em> and a call to \u201cput an end to the perception of NATO as a constantly expanding alliance\u201d<\/em> and to \u201cprevent such a reality.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

According to the Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, it is the first time the strategy has questioned the US-led military bloc\u2019s \u201caggressively expansionist\u201d<\/em> drive, even if it does not commit to halting enlargement. Moscow says NATO expansion is a root cause of the Ukraine conflict, which it views as a Western proxy war.<\/p>\n

Russia is mentioned in the context of European security and the document does not call for the systematic \u201ccontainment\u201d<\/em> of Russia or for increasing economic pressure. At the same time, Zakharova said Washington\u2019s plans to achieve \u201cenergy dominance\u201d<\/em> by \u201creducing the influence of adversaries\u201d<\/em> indicate an intention to keep pushing Russia out of energy markets.<\/p>\n

Regarding arms control, Zakharova said the document does not clarify Washington\u2019s strategic position after the expiration of the New START treaty, including future limits on nuclear arsenals. She called the wording on the \u2018Golden Dome\u2019\u00a0US missile defense concept vague and said Moscow is still waiting for explanations.<\/p>\n

While describing the strategy as generally pragmatic, Zakharova said it still contains \u201cconflict language\u201d<\/em> toward China, and voiced concern over its renewed focus on the Western Hemisphere amid tensions around Venezuela.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
