The line of communication between the US and Russian military works to avoid conflict situations over Ukraine, but has never been used properly. This was announced during a regular briefing by Pentagon spokesman John Kirby.
“As far as I know, the conflict prevention hotline is still working. We check this every day. <…> “I haven’t heard that we have to use it to transmit information,” he said.
The communication line is designed to prevent the emergence of conflict situations between Russia and the US military, which may occur as part of a military operation in Ukraine near the borders of NATO member states.
On February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that he had decided to organize a military special operation in Ukraine in response to a request for assistance from the heads of the LPR and DPR.
The president described the purpose of the operation as “protecting people who have been subjected to eight years of bullying and genocide by the Kyiv regime”. The decision to run the operation was the reason for new sanctions against Russia by the United States and its allies.
