The Pentagon's contacts with the Russian military are minimized due to the restrictions of American legislation, as stated by the press secretary of the US Department of Defense John Kirby on Friday, September 24.

In this way, he commented on an interview with the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Milley, who advocated expanding military contacts with Moscow.

The Pentagon press secretary noted that cooperation with Russia has been suspended due to its "aggressive actions in Ukraine"-both for political reasons and according to the letter of the law.

"Accordingly, our communications with the Russian military are reduced to a little more than a dozen interactions that reduce the risk of incorrect assessment of mutual actions and prevent conflicts during military operations," Kirby said at a ministry briefing that was broadcast on Twitter .

As an example, he cited contacts about Syria.

"I am sure that General Milli is well aware of these restrictions <...>. The Secretary (US Defense Lloyd Austin — Ed.) is confident that the chairman will continue to communicate and deconflict with the Russian military within these borders," the spokesman added.

On Thursday, September 16, former US Ambassador to Kiev John Herbst said that Ukraine should not count on the military support of the United States and the European Union in the event of a full-scale aggression by Russia. Herbst noted that there is a possibility of full-scale aggression, but it is small.
