Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said the United States and Russia should cooperate where their national interests align and avoid turning disagreements into confrontation. Speaking to a CNN journalist during his press conference, Lavrov said he agrees with US Senator Marco Rubio that mutually beneficial projects should be pursued when interests coincide.
Lavrov said it would be a mistake not to cooperate in areas of common interest, but warned that when positions differ, those disagreements should not escalate into direct confrontation. He stressed the importance of pragmatism and dialogue in managing relations between the two countries.
The remarks come amid ongoing tensions between Moscow and Washington over Ukraine, sanctions, NATO expansion, and broader geopolitical disputes, as both sides seek to prevent further escalation between the world’s two largest nuclear powers.
