Moscow, November 26 (Xinhua) – Russian-American relations are still in the early stages of normalization, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov stated at a press conference.

“Our relations with the United States are still in the early stages of the normalization process, and the overall success of this process is not guaranteed,” noted S. Ryabkov.

According to him, Washington's actions in matters of relations with Moscow are contradictory.

"Despite the current US administration's declared support for restoring dialogue with Russia, as well as the course it has seemingly taken to normalize Russian-American relations, its actions—and we judge them by them—are quite contradictory," the diplomat emphasized.

"We still need to be convinced of the US's willingness to truly respect our fundamental interests and work equally to eliminate the root causes of the current crisis in our relations, as well as fundamental contradictions in the security sphere," the Russian Deputy Foreign Minister said.

Responding to a question about the prospects of the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START), Sergei Ryabkov stated that the global security situation will sharply worsen if the United States does not accept Russia's proposal regarding the START restrictions.

"I would like to emphasize once again the timeliness and validity of our initiative in the post-New START area. If the American side, for whatever reason, rejects it and begins to build up its capabilities in this area, the strategic situation will worsen, tensions will increase, and predictability will be sharply reduced or even completely lost," the Russian Foreign Ministry representative emphasized.

Moscow, November 26 /Xinhua/ — Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov called the assessment that the conflict around Ukraine is nearing an end premature.

“Wait, it’s too early to say that,” D. Peskov told journalists.

He emphasized that leaks of Russian-US telephone conversations could be linked to attempts to disrupt the settlement. When asked by reporters who benefits from the leaks, D. Peskov said, "I wouldn't exaggerate their significance."

The Russian president's press secretary stated that many will try to derail the trend toward a peace agreement in Ukraine: "But the fact that there will be a very large number of people in various countries, including the United States, who will try to derail these trends toward a peaceful outcome is certain."

In response to journalists' questions about any new developments in their interactions with the Americans, a Kremlin spokesman explained that the timing of Russia's contacts with US Special Envoy Steven Witkoff has not yet been determined. "No. We have contacts. Right now, you've probably heard [US President Donald] Trump himself say that he intends to send Mr. Witkoff to Moscow. As soon as the exact timing of these contacts in Moscow is determined, we will inform you," he assured.

NEW YORK, November 26 (Xinhua) — China and the United States can overcome differences and jointly write a new chapter in their friendly relations and cooperation, Chinese Ambassador to the United States Xie Feng said on Tuesday.

In a video speech at the Gulin Forum 2025, Xie Feng said Gulin's story is a shining example of how "the hope for China-US relations lies in the people, their foundation lies in our societies, their future depends on the youth, and their vitality comes from subnational exchanges."

The "Friends of Gulin," a group of descendants of American families who once lived in Fuzhou, the capital of Fujian Province in southeastern China, have been traveling in recent years to trace the stories of their ancestors, Xie Feng noted.

He said Gulin's century-old history is being reenergized through events such as the 2025 Chinese-American Youth Choral Week "Connect with Gulin" and the "Gulin Forum."

“These connections that have transcended time and space continue to inspire us to this day, reminding us that despite all our differences in history, culture, social system, and development path, we share a common desire for friendship,” the ambassador said.

He added that China and the United States bear a special and important responsibility for world peace, stability and prosperity, and called on both sides to adhere to the principle of non-conflict and non-confrontation.

"Based on this, we must fulfill our responsibilities as major countries, abide by the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, firmly uphold the international order established after World War II, support genuine multilateralism, and join forces to solve international and regional problems, as well as tasks such as the fight against terrorism," Xie Feng said.

Next year, China will host the APEC Leaders' Meeting, and the United States will host the G20 summit. "We must support each other, advance dialogue on global governance, and strive to achieve greater and concrete results for the benefit of our two countries and the entire world," the Chinese ambassador emphasized.

BEIJING, Nov. 26 (Xinhua) — A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman on Wednesday called on Japan to take concrete measures to ensure the safety of Chinese citizens and institutions in Japan amid rising crimes against Chinese citizens.

"Just last week, we noted that Japanese police arrested five suspects involved in attacks on Chinese citizens," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said at a regular press conference, adding that there has also been an increase in extremist and threatening speech directed at China on the Japanese internet.

Mao Ning reported that the Chinese embassy and consulates in Japan have recently been subjected to repeated online and offline provocations by right-wing radicals.

"We urge Japan to take China's concerns seriously and take effective measures to ensure the safety and legitimate rights of Chinese citizens and institutions in Japan," the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson emphasized. -0-

Moscow, November 26 (Xinhua) — Russian representatives met in the UAE with the new US envoy handling Ukrainian affairs, who unexpectedly showed up at a meeting between Russian and Ukrainian intelligence agencies. This was announced on Wednesday by Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov in an interview with VGTRK journalist Pavel Zarubin.

"During the meeting, there was also a 'piano in the bushes' – the new US representative, who is currently working on the Ukrainian dossier. He also showed up and met, as I understand it, with Ukrainian representatives – this was probably arranged in advance. He also met with our representatives completely unexpectedly," said Yuri Ushakov.

The Russian presidential aide explained that representatives of the Russian and Ukrainian intelligence services meet periodically to discuss sensitive practical issues, in particular, prisoner exchanges.

Yury Ushakov emphasized that the plan for a Ukrainian settlement proposed by US President Donald Trump had not been discussed. "The peace plan has not been discussed in detail with anyone yet. We saw it, it was passed on to us, but there were no discussions," the Russian presidential aide noted.

SEOUL, Nov. 26 (Xinhua) — South Korea's special prosecutor on Wednesday demanded a 15-year prison sentence for former Prime Minister Han Deok-soo on charges of aiding former President Yun Seok-yul in his attempted coup.

As reported by multiple media outlets, Special Prosecutor Cho Eun-seok's team, who is investigating the Yoon Seok-yeol mutiny and other charges, has requested a 15-year prison sentence for Han Duk-soo on charges of aiding the mutiny leader, carrying out important tasks related to the mutiny, and perjury.

Renhap News Agency quoted the special prosecutor's team as saying Han Duk-soo attempted to legitimize martial law, committed crimes of obstructing legal proceedings by falsifying official documents, and refused to cooperate by retracting his testimony.

Han Duk-soo was the only person who could have prevented the mutiny, but he refused to do his duty and took part in the mutiny, the team noted.

On April 4, the Constitutional Court upheld the impeachment petition against Yun Seok-yul over his failed attempt to impose martial law last December, formally removing him from office.
