The West needs Russian cooperation in dealing with issues like nuclear proliferation in Iran and North Korea, the control of nuclear materials and weapons, combating the current wave of radical Islamist terrorism, and energy production and security. Moreover, Russia possesses talented people, technology, and resources that can help to meet new challenges like climate change or the spread of pandemic diseases.
西方需要俄罗斯在处理像伊朗和朝鲜的核扩散、核材料和核武器的控制、与目前的激进伊斯兰恐怖主义浪潮的斗争、能源生产以及安全的问题进行合作。此外，俄罗斯掌握着能帮助面对像气候变化或流行病的传播等挑战的专家、技术和资源。
