Istanbul: The relations between Russia and America are getting closer. After US President Donald Trump came to power, it is being seen as a new beginning and a new world order in Russia-US relations. At the same time, China is looking at the deepening relationship between America and Russia with concern. Meanwhile, America and Russia held talks here on Thursday to discuss normalizing the operation of their respective embassies after years of expelling each other’s diplomats. This is being seen as a big step towards improving Russia-US relations.
According to experts, Donald Trump wants to weaken China by getting closer to Russia. This is part of America’s new and situational strategy. Russian Presidential Palace ‘Kremlin’ spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that this dialogue in Istanbul took place after US President Donald Trump’s talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin and the consensus reached during talks between top Russian and US diplomats and other senior officials in Saudi Arabia. The US-Russia talks in Riyadh last week marked a significant shift in Washington’s foreign policy under Trump and a clear break with US-led efforts to isolate Russia over the war in Ukraine.
Russia-US talks begin in Riyadh
In Riyadh, Moscow and Washington agreed to end the war and begin work to improve their diplomatic and economic ties, including by restoring personnel to embassies. The operations of embassies have been badly affected in recent years due to the mutual exclusion of a large number of diplomats, the closure of offices and other sanctions. A US embassy official in Ankara confirmed that Thursday’s talks in Istanbul would consider issues affecting the operations of the respective diplomatic missions.
Valentina Matvienko, the speaker of the upper house of the Russian parliament, said during a visit to Turkiye on Thursday that the US-Russia talks would “help restore the full functioning of our diplomatic missions.” No Ukrainian officials were present at last week’s talks. The Kremlin stressed that the meeting was aimed at restoring relations and dialogue with the United States, which would eventually pave the way for peace talks.
Beijing: US President Donald Trump is constantly trying to deepen friendship with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin. The beginning of this new relationship between the US and Russia has given China a lot of tension. China, which is upset with the growing closeness between Russia and the US, has given a big reaction on Thursday. It said that its close relations with Russia have a strong internal driving force and any attempt by the US to create differences between the two strategic allies will fail.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said in a press conference here, “China and Russia are two major countries. Our bilateral relations have a strong internal driving force. It will not be affected by any third party.” Lin was reacting to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s comment that the Beijing-Moscow alliance could create problems for the US. Speaking to Breitbart News on Tuesday, Rubio said Russia, which is China’s “permanent junior partner,” would create problems for the US because “two nuclear powers will stand against it.” “I don’t know if we’ll ever be able to completely break their relationship,” Rubio said. He said the Russians’ “dependence on the Chinese” is increasing.

Rubio said that differences between China and Russia would also not be good, as Hong Kong’s South China Morning Post reported. Rubio said, “I don’t think it’s good for global stability that China and Russia are getting closer to each other, because they are both nuclear powers.” Rubio said, “But I think we are now in a situation where the Russians’ dependence on China is increasing rapidly and if you think about it, this is also not a good result.” China got angry with America’s statement Expressing displeasure over Rubio’s comments, Lin said that both China and Russia have long-term development strategies and foreign policies. He said, “No matter how much the international scenario changes, our relations will move forward at their own pace. America’s attempt to create differences between China and Russia is going to fail.”
Analysts say that the close relations between Russia and China by Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping are the result of the tough policies adopted against Russia by former US Presidents — Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Russia-China relations strengthened after the attack on Ukraine Russia-China relations have strengthened further after the attack on Ukraine by Russian President Vladimir Putin. Although China has not openly supported Russia, it has made no concrete efforts to prevent war. On the other hand, Xi has reaffirmed the partnership between Russia and China that has no limits. Commenting on China-Russia relations, Feng Zhongping, director of the Institute of European Studies of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said it is not “rational” for Moscow to think of distancing itself from Beijing amid warming relations with the US. The newspaper quoted Feng as saying, “It is not in Russia’s interest to distance itself from Beijing.”
