The United States and Russia have agreed to resume regular military communication channels that were suspended in 2021. These channels were halted shortly before Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
The restoration of these lines of communication aims to reduce the risk of misunderstandings and manage potential conflicts between the two countries’ armed forces.
**Why this matters**
Reestablishing military contact is important for maintaining stability and preventing accidental escalations during ongoing tensions. It provides a direct means for dialogue and crisis management amid the broader conflict in Ukraine.
