  1. Let's be honest and say it for what it is, Russia doesn't like NATO or the EU because it's creating stability and wealth in the region which in turns takes away control and power to divide from Russia. For most people from any region, what they really want is stability and wealth growth, the EU and NATO offers that whereas Russia doesn't, in fact Russia is doing the opposite and because of that, Russia is destined to lose, unless Russia really gives the eastern members like Ukraine what they really want, they will always keep pulling towards the west because what they offer is far better than what Russia offers, that's the reality of it and Russia either doesn't understand that or doesn't want too. The real long term winner out of all this is the EU with it's long term expansion, the more it keeps modernizing eastern EU countries, the more eastern European countries are going to want to join, the only way I can see Russia countering that is if they offer something better which is highly unlikely because Russia isn't doing that great on a GDP per capita level for it's self, never mind in being able to life others up, people are fed up with all the crap and games and just want to live in peace and have a good life, the EU and NATO offers that, Russia seems to just offer threats and division with the aim of keeping Russia in control and creating division among the eastern European countries to keep them weak, at the end of the day, it's the economy that really matters on a per-person basis. The irony is, Russia could benefit from a lot of the benefits the west offers from the EU and NATO if it wasn't stuck in the past and in that sense, Russia kinda reminds me of the UK with Brexit, living in the past, trying to hang onto the glory days that don't exist, in the end, it's only hurting it's own people.
