Russia does not appear to want a direct military conflict with NATO, but the potential for such a scenario remains. This is stated in the report of the US Intelligence Community.
American intelligence believes that the Russian authorities have so far avoided taking actions that would expand the conflict in Ukraine beyond its borders. At the same time, according to intelligence agencies, the risk of escalation remains significant. They also added that Russia will remain a major challenge to the US in key areas over the next decade, and less predictable than China.
The report states that the Russian Federation poses one of the most “serious threats of foreign influence” to the United States. In addition, as the document says, the next few years will be critical in the strategic rivalry between the United States and its allies, Russia and China. It, according to special services, should determine what the world will be like.
According to the Director of National Intelligence of the United States, Avril Haynes, cooperation between Moscow and Beijing is deepening “in all sectors.” According to her, they will not become allies like Washington and NATO countries.
