WASHINGTON, Feb 5 (Reuters) - The ‌U.S. military said that Washington and Moscow on ‌Thursday agreed to reestablish high level military-to-military dialogue, ‌following talks in Abu Dhabi, a move which could signal a move towards normalizing some ties between the United States and Russia.

The ‍United States halted military-to-military communication with ‍Moscow just before Russia ‌invaded Ukraine. The conflict, which began in 2022, is the ‍deadliest ​war in Europe since World War Two and the biggest confrontation between Moscow and the West ⁠since the depths of the Cold War.
