Russia's situation is somewhat unfortunate, the conflict on the border has been quite severe, Russia has not been able to negotiate a consensus after several talks, in fact, Russia's concerns are relatively simple, but it directly hits the key to the other side, Russia hopes that the United States and other Western countries will not promise not to include Ukraine in NATO, but the United States does not want to miss the opportunity to monitor Russia, so the two sides have not been able to reach a unified opinion on this issue, the United States has a tough attitude and even threatens with force. The United States and Russia have talked several times without substantive progress, Russia has not given up on this, and then talked with NATO, of course, the attitude of the United States is nato's attitude, naturally there is no gain, but Russia has long been prepared, and turned to the OSCE to continue talks, I thought that Russia's demands can more or less get the support of the OSCE and ease the situation, but it is obvious that under the strong pressure of the United States, these efforts are difficult to get a response.
Russia's biggest concern is national security
Analysts said that the reason why Russia has always maintained a restrained attitude and hopes to solve the problem through peaceful negotiations, the most direct and fundamental issue it considers is national security, once the Russian-Ukrainian conflict escalates and a hot war breaks out, then the first to bear the brunt of the damage must be Russia and Ukraine, the planner behind the conflict, the United States and other Western countries will hardly have much loss compared with Russia.
Russia hopes that national security can be fully implemented, which is also a difficult point in the negotiations, because Russia requires the United States to promise not to include Ukraine in NATO at any time in the future, after all, Russia also knows the mind of the United States, so it will not allow the United States to do military deployment here, which is tantamount to completely exposing itself to the United States, so this bottom line has no room for further retreat, although Russia hopes to solve the problem at the negotiating table, but it is obvious that the possibility is not very large.
It is difficult for russia to make progress in negotiations without the United States letting up
The United States has long been unfavorable to Russia, and it is about to force Russia into a desperate situation, how can it easily let go, after all, the current Russia does not dare to act rashly and make a big move in the face of the tiger eyes of Western countries, which can be seen from Russia's several talks with the United States, NATO and even the OSCE, so the United States is quite able to control the situation at this time, and will not consider Russia's demands at all, and even resolutely uses Ukraine as a cover to threaten Russia that they are ready to escalate the conflict. Russia's talks with Western countries, far from resolving the issue, have made the tension more severe, the OSCE has not played any role, and it is difficult for the United States to speak out for Russia under its resolute attitude, which undoubtedly forces Russia to engage in armed confrontation.
