There are disputes between the EU and Russia over the status of Kosovo, energy supplies and trade. There is also major dispute between the US and Russia over US missile defence pact with East European countries. Some analysts even says “new Cold War” is emerging between the West and Russia. The fact is that in this interdependent world West and Russia need each other now more than ever before and neither can afford to make other side enemy towards one side. They do not have to be friends all the time, but the world is not willing to see “new Cold War” occurring if there is any such.
