Kremlin welcomes end to 'direct threat' label in US strategy

The Kremlin welcomed a move by US President Donald Trump's administration to revise its national security strategy and stop calling Russia a "direct threat," spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in remarks published by the TASS news agency on Sunday.

Since Russia's 2014 annexation of Crimea and its 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine, US strategies have designated Moscow as a major threat. However, the updated US policy, announced on Friday, adopts a softer tone, urging limited cooperation.
