What is the distance between US and Russia?

Answer 1

Little Diomede (US) is 2.4 miles from Big Diomede (Russia) with the border halfway between them along the International Date Line. A winter ice bridge makes it possible to walk from one country to the other,

Answer 2

The distance from Russia to its closest US point is approximately 50.9 miles. This is the easternmost point of Russia across the Bering Strait to Cape Prince of Wales in Alaska.

As an aside, the distance from Russia to what we consider the 48 contiguous states, with the most northwestern state being Washington, is approximately 2061 miles.

Answer 3

Mainland to mainland across the Atlantic Ocean and part of Europe, the distance from United States to Russia is 5,518 miles.

But the USA at its northern border and Russia are only 2.5 miles apart at the Diomede islands, which are in the middle of the Bering Strait. Little Diomede Island is USA territory, and Big Diomede Island is Russian territory.
