The TASS interview with Diane Sare appeared in Russian as well as English, and has been picked up widely. Internet aggregators rambler.ru, dzen.ru, and life.ru summarized the TASS release, as did vesti.ru, the website of state television. Some of the websites added relevant details, such as that Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) has likewise called for renewing Russian-American dialogue.
Tsargrad TV,, a popular conservative news and analysis channel, restated the content in their own words on its website, and added a few confirmatory citations and other points:
“Experts at Foreign Policy magazine recently noted that the U.S. defense agency really is far from unified on this question, and that Colby’s statements annoy some of the senior officers.”
“Instead of confrontation, Sare proposes to rely on what was agreed at Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump’s meeting in Anchorage, August 15, 2025. She enumerated several specific areas: building a tunnel across the Bering Strait, development of the Northern Sea Route, potential participation by ExxonMobil in the Sakhalin-1 project [ExxonMobil operated it until 2022—ed.], and joint mining of rare earth metals. In Sare’s opinion, trade cooperation is far more beneficial for the U.S. economy, writes TASS.”
On the exhaustion of U.S. munitions, they add: “The military analytical site Defense News has reported that replenishing these reserves will take at least two years and billions in spending, which is especially sensitive in the setting of the November midterm elections for Congress.”
