invading Ukraine to ‘'demilitarize and 
denazify’ the country. 
Ukraine has assumed that Russia 
is waging an unprovoked war of 
aggression.
InterestsRussia‘s interests in the conflict may 
include security, influence and economic 
gain.
Ukraine's interests may include 
sovereignty, independence and territorial 
integrity. 
NeedsRussia’'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.
