1993年以来,美国等西方国家积极推行北约东扩政策,欲抢先进入东欧裂变后形成的“安全真空”,主要矛头是针对俄罗斯的,当然遭到了俄罗斯的竭力抵制。俄罗斯认为北约东扩至原苏联传统势力范围,是对俄安全利益的严重威胁和对俄大国地位的严重挑战。俄罗斯的抵抗在相当程度上牵制了北约实施东扩战略的进程。 Since 1993, the United States and other western countries have actively pushed forward NATO’s eastward expansion policy and are trying to get ahead of the “security vacuum” formed after the fission in Eastern Europe. The main target is Russia. Of course, Russia has been trying to boycott it. Russia believes that NATO’s eastward expansion to the traditional Soviet sphere of influence is a serious threat to the security interests of Russia and a serious challenge to Russia’s status as a big power. Russia’s resistance has to a great extent contained the process of NATO’s eastward expansion strategy.
