  • Summary

  • The text explores the contentious issue of NATO expansion and its impact on Russia's security concerns. It begins by highlighting Russia's perception of NATO's eastward growth as a threat, particularly after the Cold War. Ukraine emerges as a central point of contention, with Russia viewing its potential NATO membership as a red line. The text examines NATO's role in the 2022 Russian-Ukrainian war, portraying it as a proxy conflict. It assesses the strategic implications for Russia, including a sense of encirclement and loss of influence, leading to potential future scenarios like prolonged stalemate, further NATO expansion, or a new Cold War. The narrative emphasizes the grave consequences of these geopolitical tensions and questions the possibility of achieving lasting peace between Russia and the West.
