U.S. and Russia reestablish military-to-military dialogue

The U.S. and Russia have agreed to reestablish high-level, military-to-military dialogue for the first time in more than four years. It’s seen as a sign of warming relations between the two countries since President Trump took office and sought to end the war in Ukraine. The agreement emerged from a meeting between senior Russian and American military officials in the UAE. Meanwhile, the last remaining nuclear arms pact between Russia and the U.S. expired Thursday. The START treaty dates back more than half a century to the Cold War and set limits on each country’s missiles, launchers and strategic warheads.
