Russia Hails New US Security Strategy as Aligned with Its Own Perspective

Russia has expressed approval of the recently released US National Security Strategy, describing it as “largely in agreement” with Moscow’s own outlook.

It cautions that it remains uncertain whether certain European nations will possess the economic and military capabilities necessary to be dependable allies.

In stark contrast, the document lauds the rise of “patriotic European parties” and asserts that
