[[Russia]] and the United States maintain one of the most important, critical and strategic foreign relations in the world. Both nations have shared interests in [[nuclear safety and security]], [[Nuclear proliferation|nonproliferation]], [[counterterrorism]], and [[space exploration]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.csis.org/programs/russia-and-eurasia-program/archives/us-russian-relations|title=U.S.-Russian Relations|work=Center for Strategic and International Studies|access-date=August 16, 2021}}</ref>


After the [[dissolution of the Soviet Union]] in 1991, the relationship was generally warm under the Russian President [[Boris Yeltsin]] (1991–99). In the early years of Yeltsin's presidency, the US and Russia established a cooperative relationship and worked closely together to address global issues such as arms control, counterterrorism, and the conflict in Bosnia. During Yeltsin's second term, US-Russia relations became more strained. The [[Yugoslav Wars|NATO intervention in Yugoslavia]], in particular the 1999 [[NATO intervention in Kosovo]] was [[Boris_Yeltsin#1996–1999%3A Second term|strongly opposed by Yeltsin]],<ref name=gnwarn>{{cite news |title=Yeltsin: Russia will not use force against Nato |url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/1999/mar/25/russia |work=The Guardian |date=25 March 1999}}</ref><ref name=reuwarn>{{cite news|title=Yeltsin Warns of European War Over Kosovo|agency=Reuters|date=9 April 1999}}</ref><ref name=cnnwarn>{{cite news|title=Yeltsin warns of possible world war over Kosovo|url=http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/europe/9904/09/kosovo.diplomacy.02|publisher=CNN|date=9 April 1999|access-date=23 April 2007}}</ref><ref name=apnwarn>{{cite news |title=Russia Condemns NATO's Airstrikes |url=https://apnews.com/article/8d162f6100f23833c376f011a9298126 |work=Associated Press |date=8 June 1999}}</ref> who, although the Soviet Union had been strongly opposed by the [[Josip_Broz_Tito#Tito–Stalin_split|Titovian flavour of independence]], saw it as an infringement on Russia's latter-day sphere of influence.{{cn|date=May 2023}} [[Boris_Yeltsin#The_riddle_of_NATO|Yeltsin also criticized]] NATO's [[Enlargement of NATO|expansion into Eastern Europe]], which he saw as a threat to Russia's security.{{cn|date=May 2023}}


After [[Vladimir Putin]] became President of Russia in 2000, he initially sought to improve relations with the United States. The two countries cooperated on issues such as counterterrorism and arms control. Putin worked closely with US President [[George W. Bush]] on the [[war in Afghanistan]] following the [[9/11 attacks]]. Tensions began to rise as Putin became more authoritarian, and the US pursued policies that Russia viewed as threatening to its security. The US supported the pro-Western government in Georgia, which led to the [[Russo-Georgian War]].

Another source of tension was the US missile defense system. Following Putin [[Russia under Vladimir Putin|regaining control of the Russian government]] in 2012, relations between the two countries significantly strained due to Russia's [[Annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation|annexation of Crimea]] and [[Russian military intervention in Ukraine (2014–present)|Russian military intervention in Ukraine]]. Deterioration continued with the [[Russian military intervention in the Syrian Civil War|Russian military intervention]] in the [[Syrian Civil War]], and over Russia's interference in the [[Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections|2016]] and [[Russian interference in the 2020 United States elections|2020 U.S. elections]].

Following the [[Russian invasion of Ukraine]] in 2022, relations reached the lowest point since the [[Cuban Missile Crisis]].<ref>{{Cite news |date=2022-08-02 |title=Russia says United States is directly involved in Ukraine war |language=en |work=Reuters |url=https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russia-says-united-states-is-directly-involved-ukraine-war-2022-08-02/ |access-date=2022-10-01}}</ref> [[International sanctions during the Russo-Ukrainian War|Western sanctions]] imposed since 2014 were significantly expanded by the U.S. and its allies following the invasion, including several state-owned banks and oligarchs.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-06-09 |title=With Over 300 Sanctions, U.S. Targets Russia’s Circumvention and Evasion, Military-Industrial Supply Chains, and Future Energy Revenues |url=https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy1494 |access-date=2023-06-22 |website=U.S. Department of the Treasury |language=en}}</ref>

Russia operated a small fur-trade operations in [[History of Alaska|Alaska]], coupled with missionaries to the natives. By 1861, the project had lost money, threatened to antagonize the Americans, and could not be defended from Britain. It proved practically impossible to entice Russians to permanently migrate to Alaska; only a few hundred were there in 1867. In the [[Alaska Purchase]] of 1867, the land was sold to the United States for $7.2 million.<ref>James R. Gibson, "Why the Russians Sold Alaska."

During [[World War I]], the [[United States declaration of war on Germany (1917)]] came after [[Nicholas II]] had abdicated as a result of the [[February Revolution]]. When the tsar was still in power, many Americans deplored fighting a war with him as an ally. With him gone, the [[Wilson administration]] used the new provisional government to describe how the democratic nations were fighting against autocratic old empires of [[German Empire|Germany]] and [[Austria-Hungary]]. During the war, the [[American Expeditionary Forces]] were just starting to see battle when the [[October Revolution]] happened in which the [[Bolsheviks]] overthrew the provisional government and removed Russia from the war.

Before the armistice in November 1918, the Americans had helped the [[Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War]] with the [[Polar Bear Expedition]] and the [[American Expeditionary Force Siberia]]. The Americans' goal was not necessarily ideological but rather to prevent the German enemy from gaining access to war supplies controlled by the Bolsheviks, though the United States also tacitly supported the [[White movement]] against the Bolsheviks.<ref>John W.

In the early years of Yeltsin's presidency, the US and Russia established a cooperative relationship and worked closely together to address global issues such as arms control, counterterrorism, and the conflict in Bosnia. During Yeltsin's second term, US-Russia relations became more strained.

The two countries cooperated on issues such as counterterrorism and arms control. Putin worked closely with US President [[George W. Bush]] on the [[war in Afghanistan]] following the [[9/11 attacks]]. Tensions began to rise as Putin became more authoritarian, and the US pursued policies that Russia viewed as threatening to its security. The US supported the pro-Western government in Georgia, which led to the [[Russo-Georgian War]]. Another source of tension was the US missile defense system. Following Putin [[Russia under Vladimir Putin|regaining control of the Russian government]] in 2012, relations between the two countries significantly strained due to Russia's [[Annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation|annexation of Crimea]] and [[Russian military intervention in Ukraine (2014–present)|Russian military intervention in Ukraine]]. Deterioration continued with the [[Russian military intervention in the Syrian Civil War|Russian military intervention]] in the [[Syrian Civil War]], and over Russia's interference in the [[Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections|2016]] and [[Russian interference in the 2020 United States elections|2020 U.S. elections]].

By 1861, the project had lost money, threatened to antagonize the Americans, and could not be defended from Britain. It proved practically impossible to entice Russians to permanently migrate to Alaska; only a few hundred were there in 1867. In the [[Alaska Purchase]] of 1867, the land was sold to the United States for $7.2 million.<ref>James R. Gibson, "Why the Russians Sold Alaska."

In 1903, the [[Chișinău pogrom (1903)|Kishinev pogrom]] killed 47 Jews, injured 400, and left 10,000 homeless and dependent on relief. American Jews began large-scale organized financial help and assisted in emigration.<ref>Philip Ernest Schoenberg, "The American Reaction to the Kishinev Pogrom of 1903." ''American Jewish Historical Quarterly'' 63.3 (1974): 262-283.</ref> During [[World War I]], the [[United States declaration of war on Germany (1917)]] came after [[Nicholas II]] had abdicated as a result of the [[February Revolution]]. When the tsar was still in power, many Americans deplored fighting a war with him as an ally. With him gone, the [[Wilson administration]] used the new provisional government to describe how the democratic nations were fighting against autocratic old empires of [[German Empire|Germany]] and [[Austria-Hungary]]. During the war, the [[American Expeditionary Forces]] were just starting to see battle when the [[October Revolution]] happened in which the [[Bolsheviks]] overthrew the provisional government and removed Russia from the war. Before the armistice in November 1918, the Americans had helped the [[Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War]] with the [[Polar Bear Expedition]] and the [[American Expeditionary Force Siberia]]. The Americans' goal was not necessarily ideological but rather to prevent the German enemy from gaining access to war supplies controlled by the Bolsheviks, though the United States also tacitly supported the [[White movement]] against the Bolsheviks.<ref>John W.

The [[Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic]] became Russia. It was now an independent state that inherited the USSR's [[United Nations Security Council|UN Security Council]] permanent membership and became the [[successor state#Soviet Union|successor state]] to the USSR. [[Strobe Talbott]], who was Washington's chief expert on Russia, has argued that Clinton hit it off with Russian [[Boris Yeltsin]], the president of Russia 1991-1999: :The personal diplomacy between Clinton and Yeltsin, augmented by the channel that Gore developed with Yeltsin's longest-serving prime minister, [[Victor Chernomyrdin]], yielded half a dozen major understandings that either resolved or alleviated disputes over Russia's role in the post–cold war world. The two presidents were the negotiators in chief of agreements to halt the sale of Russian rocket parts to India; remove Soviet-era nuclear missiles from Ukraine in exchange for Russian assurances of Ukraine's sovereignty and security; withdraw Russian troops from the Baltic states; institutionalize cooperation between Russia and an expanding NATO; lay the ground for the Baltic states to join the alliance; and ensure the participation of the Russian military in Balkan peacekeeping and of Russian diplomacy in the settlement of NATO's air war against Serbia.<ref>Strobe Talbott, ''The Russia Hand'' (2002) p. 9</ref> As the collapse of the [[Soviet Union]] appeared imminent, the [[United States]] and their [[NATO]] allies grew concerned of the risk of nuclear weapons held in the [[Republics of the Soviet Union|Soviet republics]] falling into enemy hands. The [[Cooperative Threat Reduction]] (CTR) program was initiated by the [[Nunn–Lugar Act]] (really the [[Soviet Nuclear Threat Reduction Act of 1991]]), which was authored and cosponsored by [[United States Senate|Sens]]. [[Sam Nunn]] ([[Democratic Party (United States)|D]]-[[Georgia (U.S. state)|GA]]) and [[Richard Lugar]] ([[Republican Party (United States)|R]]-[[Indiana|IN]]). According to the CTR website, the purpose of the CTR Program was originally "to secure and dismantle [[weapons of mass destruction]] and their associated infrastructure in former Soviet Union states." Relations between Yeltsin and the administrations of [[Foreign policy of the George H. W. Bush administration|George H. W. Bush]] (1989–1993) and [[Foreign policy of the Bill Clinton administration|Bill Clinton]] (1993–2001) started off well, but deteriorated after 1997. Yeltsin and his foreign minister [[Andrey Kozyrev]] made a high priority Russia's full membership into the family of democratic nations. They wanted to be a partner of the United States. At home they tried to create democratic institutions and a free-market capitalist system. In 1993, both nations signed the [[START II]] arms control treaty that was designed to ban the use of [[multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle]]s (MIRVs) on [[intercontinental ballistic missile]]s (ICBMs). The treaty was eventually ratified by both countries, yet it was never implemented and was formally abandoned in 2002, following the US's withdrawal from the 1972 [[Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty]]. Clinton and Yeltsin were personally friendly. Washington encouraged the rapid transition to a liberal capitalist system in Russia.<ref>Strobe Talbott, ''The Russia hand: A memoir of presidential diplomacy'' (2007) pp 189–213.</ref> Clinton provided rich talking points but provided less than $3 billion, and much was paid to American contractors.

In 1903, the [[Chișinău pogrom (1903)|Kishinev pogrom]] killed 47 Jews, injured 400, and left 10,000 homeless and dependent on relief. American Jews began large-scale organized financial help and assisted in emigration.<ref>Philip Ernest Schoenberg, "The American Reaction to the Kishinev Pogrom of 1903."

With him gone, the [[Wilson administration]] used the new provisional government to describe how the democratic nations were fighting against autocratic old empires of [[German Empire|Germany]] and [[Austria-Hungary]]. During the war, the [[American Expeditionary Forces]] were just starting to see battle when the [[October Revolution]] happened in which the [[Bolsheviks]] overthrew the provisional government and removed Russia from the war.

The [[Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic]] became Russia. It was now an independent state that inherited the USSR's [[United Nations Security Council|UN Security Council]] permanent membership and became the [[successor state#Soviet Union|successor state]] to the USSR. [[Strobe Talbott]], who was Washington's chief expert on Russia, has argued that Clinton hit it off with Russian [[Boris Yeltsin]], the president of Russia 1991-1999: :The personal diplomacy between Clinton and Yeltsin, augmented by the channel that Gore developed with Yeltsin's longest-serving prime minister, [[Victor Chernomyrdin]], yielded half a dozen major understandings that either resolved or alleviated disputes over Russia's role in the post–cold war world. The two presidents were the negotiators in chief of agreements to halt the sale of Russian rocket parts to India; remove Soviet-era nuclear missiles from Ukraine in exchange for Russian assurances of Ukraine's sovereignty and security; withdraw Russian troops from the Baltic states; institutionalize cooperation between Russia and an expanding NATO; lay the ground for the Baltic states to join the alliance; and ensure the participation of the Russian military in Balkan peacekeeping and of Russian diplomacy in the settlement of NATO's air war against Serbia.<ref>Strobe Talbott, ''The Russia Hand'' (2002) p. 9</ref> As the collapse of the [[Soviet Union]] appeared imminent, the [[United States]] and their [[NATO]] allies grew concerned of the risk of nuclear weapons held in the [[Republics of the Soviet Union|Soviet republics]] falling into enemy hands. The [[Cooperative Threat Reduction]] (CTR) program was initiated by the [[Nunn–Lugar Act]] (really the [[Soviet Nuclear Threat Reduction Act of 1991]]), which was authored and cosponsored by [[United States Senate|Sens]]. [[Sam Nunn]] ([[Democratic Party (United States)|D]]-[[Georgia (U.S. state)|GA]]) and [[Richard Lugar]] ([[Republican Party (United States)|R]]-[[Indiana|IN]]). According to the CTR website, the purpose of the CTR Program was originally "to secure and dismantle [[weapons of mass destruction]] and their associated infrastructure in former Soviet Union states." Relations between Yeltsin and the administrations of [[Foreign policy of the George H. W. Bush administration|George H. W. Bush]] (1989–1993) and [[Foreign policy of the Bill Clinton administration|Bill Clinton]] (1993–2001) started off well, but deteriorated after 1997. Yeltsin and his foreign minister [[Andrey Kozyrev]] made a high priority Russia's full membership into the family of democratic nations. They wanted to be a partner of the United States. At home they tried to create democratic institutions and a free-market capitalist system. In 1993, both nations signed the [[START II]] arms control treaty that was designed to ban the use of [[multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle]]s (MIRVs) on [[intercontinental ballistic missile]]s (ICBMs).

The two countries cooperated on issues such as counterterrorism and arms control. Putin worked closely with US President [[George W. Bush]] on the [[war in Afghanistan]] following the [[9/11 attacks]]. Tensions began to rise as Putin became more authoritarian, and the US pursued policies that Russia viewed as threatening to its security. The US supported the pro-Western government in Georgia, which led to the [[Russo-Georgian War]]. -Another source of tension was the US missile defense system. Following Putin [[Russia under Vladimir Putin|regaining control of the Russian government]] in 2012, relations between the two countries significantly strained due to Russia's [[Annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation|annexation of Crimea]] and [[Russian military intervention in Ukraine (2014–present)|Russian military intervention in Ukraine]]. Deterioration continued with the [[Russian military intervention in the Syrian Civil War|Russian military intervention]] in the [[Syrian Civil War]], and over Russia's interference in the [[Russian
