Эта конфронтация не была неизбежной, не соответствует интересам ни одной из сторон, повышает военно-политические и экономические риски, и из нее нужно настойчиво искать выход на пути переговоров, а не санкций, бряцания оружием или информационной войны. Переломить ситуацию «холодного противостояния» в отношениях с США путем активизации российских действий в отдельном регионе вряд ли удастся. Российская операция в Сирии вынудила Запад идти на контакты с российским руководством, однако даже если взаимодействие будет достигнуто (а оно необходимо, хотя бы чтобы не допустить непреднамеренного столкновения между российскими и западными силами), это не приведет к коренному улучшению в российско-американских отношениях. Фундаментальным условием, без которого не будет преодолено противостояние с Западом, является урегулирование на Украине. На смену конфронтации и информационной войне должно прийти международное сотрудничество в целях недопущения гуманитарной катастрофы на Украине и обеспечения ее экономического возрождения. Необходима выработка долговременного стратегического подхода с обеих сторон, нацеленного на совместную работу, в котором приоритетом должно стать взаимодействие по преодолению кризисных ситуаций и решению мировых проблем: будь то преодоление украинского кризиса, гражданской войны в Сирии и угрозы терроризма или же предотвращение глобального изменения климата, мирное освоение Арктики, устойчивое развитие проблемных регионов мира, обеспечение всеобщей инклюзивной безопасности в Евро-Атлан тическом пространстве и сотрудничество в Азиатско-Тихоокеанском регионе, недопущение развертывания оружия в космосе и нераспространение ядерного оружия.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The exacerbation of tensions between Russia and the West resembles the cold war period in that it encompasses all spheres: politics, economy, and information. The confrontation was not inevitable but the result of the political mistakes made, and does not suit the interests of anyone, while augmenting politicomilitary and economic risks for all. The resolution of the stand-off should be sought through negotiations and engagement, not sanctions, saber-rattling or information war. Russia’s operation in Syria – which had among its goals to change the agenda and build bridges with the West – has managed to make western political and military leaders speak to their Russian counterparts. Yet their interaction on Syria, though definitely needed if only to prevent getting unnecessarily in each other’s way in that country, will not be sufficient as a game changer unless Russia succeeds in changing the perception of itself as an expansionist country. The resolution of the Ukrainian crisis remains a key prerequisite in overcoming the cold confrontation with the West. The settlement of the Ukrainian crisis must be based on rigorous implementation of the Minsk Agreements, irreversible discontinuation of military activities in Eastern Ukraine, and guarantees of the country’s territorial integrity and non-aligned status. The confrontation and information war in Russia’s relations with the West should give way to a coordinated effort to prevent economic collapse in Ukraine and foster its future development. Moreover, both Russia and the West need to develop a comprehensive long-term strategy of mutual engagement focused on joint efforts to overcome international challenges and together seek resolution of global problems whether it is ending the Ukrainian crisis, finding a way out of the civil war in Syria or more broadly, upholding international institutions and international law, building an inclusive security environment in the Euro-Atlantic region and cooperating in Asia-Pacific, overcoming global terrorism and cyber-threats, preventing nuclear proliferation and the weaponization of space, effectively dealing with global climate change, disease and hunger, and ensuring sustainable development of the world’s poorest regions.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>холодная война</kwd><kwd>российско-американские отношения</kwd><kwd>санкции</kwd><kwd>Украинский кризис</kwd><kwd>Минские соглашения</kwd><kwd>Сирия</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Cold War</kwd><kwd>U.S.-Russia relations</kwd><kwd>information war</kwd><kwd>sanctions</kwd><kwd>Ukrainian crisis</kwd><kwd>Minsk agreements</kwd><kwd>Syria</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Публикация подготовлена в рамках работы по Гранту № 14-01-00324 Российского государственного научного фонда по теме: «Пути взаимодействия дипломатии и науки в деле повышения эффективности внешней политики и дипломатической деятельности России».</funding-statement><funding-statement xml:lang="en">The publication has been prepared within the framework of the Russian State Foundation for Humanities’ Grant № 14-01-00324 on the topic: “Ways of cooperation of diplomacy and research in raising the effectiveness of foreign policy and diplomatic activity of Russia”.</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">лет без Берлинской стены: прорыв к свободе. // Ред.
