  • it was interesting as it showed that there are still some behind the scenes channels of communication open between the US and Russia.

    All the embassies are still open with ambassadors still in DC and Moscow doing their jobs, all lines of comms are open as normal. It's easy to assume that things are worse than they are in reality.

    This was the Beeb's diplomatic correspondent or similar expert talking and he was surprised, so I don't think this was some diplomatic armchair assumption.
