My Comment: As I have said a few times in the past .... if you want to know what the Kremlin is thinking .... listen to what Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov is saying. So what is he saying (in a nutshell) .... (1) economic sanctions are hurting Russia, (2) the West is not helpful in resolving the crisis in Ukraine, (3) a new U.S. - Russian relationship and understanding has to be developed, but it will not happen in the foreseeable future, and (4) Russia is going to rearm.
