Despite the seriousness of the confrontation between the U.S. and Russia, or perhaps because of it, Moscow is still stressing the need for strategic stability between the U.S. and Russia. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov yesterday, in response to a TASS reporter’s question, stated: “Naturally, there should be a legal framework in the sphere of strategic stability, for which our countries are largely responsible. Talks should be launched as soon as possible. It is impossible to discuss strategic security without taking the new aspects into account or considering the entire body of aspects, including Europe’s nuclear potential. All this should be considered … together.”
His added comment—"We have not received a response from the Americans yet.”—seemed to imply that the offer has already been communicated.
