“We are studying the possibilities, there is no concrete solution, and there is no indication from Russia that they would be interested in such opportunities,” RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.
According to Kirby, the issue also concerns establishing contacts about the use of airspace.
He noted that this mechanism will be considered more in the context of NATO, and not on a US-Russia bilateral basis.
Earlier, the Politico newspaper, citing sources in the US Department of Defense, reported that the Pentagon wants to establish a channel of communication with Russia against the backdrop of the situation in Ukraine.
Prior to this, CNN also reported that the Pentagon noted the need to provide a communication channel with Russia in order to be able to coordinate flights over Ukraine.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki assured that the war with Russia is not in the interests of the United States.
