What are you talking about? These lines are to avoid escalation, not a symbol of friendship. It's similar to the hotlines between Russia and the United States. It's so they can confirm things so a misunderstanding doesn't spark into a war.

Yeah, there’s an active one right now between the US and Russia in Syria, I believe (at least I think it’s still ongoing? I haven’t checked lately, but I know there at least used to be one), and I think another one specifically about Ukraine.
