US documents show George W. Bush assured Putin of no threat from the US

Declassified US documents reveal former President George W. Bush assured Vladimir Putin in 2001 that the US and Russia did not view each other as threats and that Washington did not seek nuclear superiority. These assurances, made during a Shanghai meeting, were reportedly not fulfilled. The documents were released by the National Security Archive research organization. Current US-Russia relations remain complex, with shifts in approach under different administrations, though significant changes are still pending.
