Moscow, Russia – The Kremlin has lauded a new national security strategy unveiled by US President Donald Trump, citing a surprising degree of alignment with Russia’s own worldview on global affairs. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated on Sunday that the changes “correspond in many ways to our vision,” marking a significant departure from previous US strategies that have identified Russia as a destabilizing force.

The US document, published last week, highlights several key areas of agreement, including a focus on strategic stability with Moscow and a call to end the perception of NATO expansion, a long-held Russian concern. The strategy also identifies ending the war in Ukraine as a “core” US interest, a position that has seen shifts under Trump’s administration.

However, Peskov cautioned that the “deep state” within the US government might hold differing views, echoing Trump’s own rhetoric about officials allegedly undermining his agenda.

This development comes as White House-led efforts to broker a peace agreement in the Russia-Ukraine war are reaching a critical juncture. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is set to meet with European leaders in London on Monday seeking strong backing amid concerns over potential US pressure for territorial concessions.

Trump’s strategy also places a strong emphasis on the Indo-Pacific region, particularly in countering China’s influence, a move that could further complicate relations between Washington, Moscow, and Beijing. Russia, facing Western sanctions, has been forging closer ties with China, raising concerns about a potential alliance between the two nations.

Analysts interpret Trump’s new strategy as a desire to overhaul the post-World War II international order through an “America First” approach. The document’s emphasis on defending the “Western identity” of Europe and preventing “civilizational erasure” has also drawn attention, with some experts noting its alignment with far-right narratives.
