Russia and the United States are major powers that need to coexist peacefully.

According to TASS on June 12, Russian Ambassador to Washington Alexander Darchiev stated that Russia and the United States, as major powers, despite their differences, need to coexist peacefully without confrontation.

"Despite the disagreements between our countries and the toxic legacy of the previous period, which President Vladimir Putin and President Donald Trump have agreed to overcome through joint efforts, Russia and the United States are great powers that must coexist peacefully without confrontation," Ambassador Darchiev emphasized while speaking at the embassy on Russia Day.

According to Ambassador Darchiev, the most important thing is that an opportunity has now opened up for the full resumption of relations between the two countries, and for the pursuit of solidarity, based on mutual respect and equality, solutions to pressing international problems and crisis situations, based on the principle of multipolarity and taking into account new geopolitical realities.

Recently, the resumption of dialogue between the two leaders, Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, has been assessed by Russian politicians as "a historic shift in Russian public opinion." The number of Russians who consider the US a hostile nation has decreased from 75% to 40%. Support for normalizing relations with the West has increased from 52% to 80%.

This shows that the Russia-US dialogue is effective. Both sides are listening to each other's positions and viewpoints, and many believe in the possibility of a significant de-escalation.

On June 11, Russian President Vladimir Putin's press secretary Dmitry Peskov stated that the diplomatic departments of Russia and the United States are conducting dialogue within the framework of agreements reached between the two presidents. This was Peskov's response to a question about how the Kremlin assesses the progress of dialogue between Moscow and Washington, and whether it has stalled due to the Ukraine issue.
