The Pentagon expects to establish a channel of communication with Russia against the backdrop of the situation in Ukraine. This is reported by Politico, citing sources in the US Department of Defense.

“We have informed the Russians that we believe a channel is needed at the operational level … so that we can avoid miscalculations,” the statement said.

According to one of the sources, Washington has not received a response from Moscow. Another official said it could be the same communication channel that US and Russian forces established in 2015 over Syria.

Last week, CNN reported that the US Department of Defense would like to discuss with Russia the possibility of creating a communication channel to coordinate flights over Ukraine.

“Officials foresee that in the coming days and weeks there may be a need for such a mechanism, and this may take various forms. One of them is a no-fly zone to allow the delivery of humanitarian aid to Ukraine, ”US media reported.

On February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that he had decided to conduct a military special operation to protect the Donbass in response to a request for help from the heads of the LPR and DPR.
