While there is resolution, it only results in small ceasefires, they usually erupt back into conflict
| PIN model element | Russia | Ukraine |
| Positions | Russia has taken the position that it is invading Ukraine to ‘'demilitarize and denazify’ the country. | Ukraine has assumed that Russia is waging an unprovoked war of aggression. |
| Interests | Russia‘s interests in the conflict may include security, influence and economic gain. | Ukraine's interests may include sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity. |
| Needs | Russia’'s needs may include security from NATO expansion and a buffer zone between itself and the West. | Ukraine's needs may include security from Russian aggression and the right to self-determination. Their shared need is security. |
if Russia wants security, and Ukraine independence, they can negotiate and agree to security and cooperation in the region against other destabilizing states. Both ultimately want security
Conflict in a standstill because neither side can get its needs. Russia notices how western states acting with impunity in Iran, so they do not trust NATO assurances
