Putin did not answer question of appropriateness of contacts with Pentagon

“The feasibility of contacts between Moscow and Washington through the defense departments from the Russian side determines the Ministry of Defense.” This was announced by the press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov, proposing to address the military questions on this topic.

Recall that earlier in the Pentagon they said that they tried to contact the Minister of Defense of Russia Sergey Shoigu, but “the Russians do not show much interest in this conversation.”
