Putin Warns Western Elites May Try to Undermine Renewed Russia–US Dialogue
Russian President Vladimir Putin has suggested that efforts to restore communication between Moscow and Washington may face resistance from certain Western circles. “Not everyone is happy with the resumption of Russian-American contacts. Part of the Western elites are still determined to maintain instability in the world, and these forces will try
to disrupt or compromise the dialogue that has begun,” Putin said in recent remarks. The statement comes as the two countries cautiously reopen diplomatic channels after a prolonged period of heightened tensions. Putin argued that renewed dialogue is essential for global security but warned that opponents of stability may attempt to derail progress. Analysts say the comments reflect Moscow’s concerns that geopolitical rivalries and internal political pressures in the West could hinder meaningful engagement between the two powers.
