The State Duma named the conditions for establishing relations with the United States

The United States' rejection of the policy of force, military aggression, and the practice of color revolutions is something that could fundamentally help improve relations with Russia. Dmitry Novikov, first deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs, said this on Wednesday, July 30.

It is connected with the need to build equal relations, to abandon the policy of hegemony, from attempts at military dictate by force or dictate through the threat of war. He added that this is such an ingrained tradition and practice for the United States that no president has ever abandoned it.

"As long as the United States adheres to this line, as long as the West as a whole acts in the framework of NATO solidarity from such positions, it will be very difficult to count on achieving full mutual understanding," the parliamentarian said in an interview with Lenta.Ru .

Novikov noted that with good will and common sense, it is possible to make decisions that will help avoid an arms race and ensure greater security.

"Returning to the topic of short-term opportunities: if the United States focuses its interests on other regions and understands that they cannot handle the Ukrainian conflict, we can normalize our relations for a short period of time from the point of view of the historical process," the deputy said.

He admitted that Washington could do this, but expressed concern that it would then involve attempts to strike countries that are Russia's allies. This means that overall global security will not be ensured, he concluded.

"Relations between Russia and the United States cannot be reduced only to the Ukrainian case"
