Russia and the U.S. is unlikely to sit down at the negotiating table on a broad range of issues - from the policy of punishment to the expansion of NATO's presence near Russia's borders, writes the American private intelligence-analysis Firm in his own prediction for the end of 2015. "Contact USA and Russia in the future is possible only on a tactical level. Washington will continue the policy of economic pressure on Moscow and try to strengthen the status of the security guarantor to allies, close to Russian borders ", - said Analysts of the centre. in their vision, the fourth quarter of this year will be decisive for the European policy of punishment - " the closer European countries to Russia, the more likely it is that she happens to drive a wedge between those who wanted a Treaty with Moscow, and those who are trying to take a tough stance (Poland and the Baltic countries) ". Organization analysts believe that the Russian Federation will concentrate on the formation of a "lobby pool" from Germany, France and Italy. This tactic will give the opportunity to disrupt the "unity of mind" within the EU, necessary for a decision on the extension of expiring punishment is relatively capital of Russia. The relationship between Russia and NATO will remain strained, despite the truce established in Ukraine, writes Stratfor. The North Atlantic Commonwealth is still room for maneuver - to increase the intensity of military exercises and training missions under the pretext of "restructuring" of the Ukrainian army. At the same time the Alliance will continue the rotation of forces in Central Europe. In parts of the continent in connection with the forthcoming elections will strengthen the calls for NATO to take on their own shoulders more responsibility in the organization of collective defence - for example, in Poland. Sweden and Finland will draw closer to the Alliance but will not become full members.
