•Russia has slowly begun to accept the Eastward movement of NATO, but diplomatically stalling it at every turn possible. This strategy is along the lines of Russia's new foreign policy: pragmatism and business, which has become increasingly obvious in the months since Yeltsin's recovery. Many strategists believe that Russia will push a little and consistently stall until the conferences this spring and summer where Russia will demand an unagreed upon proposition and attempt to destroy the process. As the talks between NATO and Russia move on, the concessions from both sides are coming only slightly more rapidly but because of outside interests many countries in NATO are pushing hard to reach an agreement.
