BEIJING - Despite their failed attempt to defuse escalating tensions between Russia, Ukraine and Nato, Russian and Nato negotiators did offer some sort of silver lining by leaving open the possibilit

y of future talks on arms control, missile deployments and ways to prevent military incidents between Russia and the West.

With both sides mired in the suspicion of the other, it was good that Russia made its position clear, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov saying on Sunday that Russia"was not considering military action even if the negotiations with the United States and Nato on security guarantees fail". Meanwhile, the two key Russian demands, for Nato to scale down its presence in countries that border Russia, and for Nato to stop taking in new members, were described as being"simply non-starters", in the words of US Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman. Thus the two parties find themselves at an apparent dead-end, with neither wanting to show any weakness by taking a step back.
