The Russian Embassy in the United States pointed out the possibilities of cooperation between the two countries.

In the absence of ideological differences, Moscow and Washington could develop mutually beneficial economic cooperation. This was announced by the Russian Embassy in the country on July 4 in a congratulatory message on the Independence Day of the United States.

"Russia and the United States could and should constructively coexist based on a genuine, economically viable, mutually respectful and equal partnership," the diplomatic mission said in a Telegram channel.

The text of the appeal also states that historically, the Russian Federation and the United States have long-standing bilateral relations, which have always been based on mutual respect and a responsible attitude to the preservation of world order. It is noted separately that even during the Cold War, when tensions in relations were greatest, Moscow and Washington managed to find compromises.

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said on June 24 that Russia and the United States also lack a systematic and structured dialogue on strategic stability. At the same time, for such a dialogue to take place, it is necessary to see significant and real "shifts for the better" in Washington's policy towards Russia.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on June 19 that Russia has a feeling that the US approach to resolving the conflict in Ukraine may change. He also noted that the dates of a possible visit to Russia by US President Donald Trump's special representatives Steven Witkoff and Jared Kushner have not yet been determined.
