Will Russia protect the West?

Russia will not protect it. Russia protects Eastern European countries at most. The West has the European Union and they can protect themselves. What's more, the West will not ask Russia to protect them. The West believes that it can protect itself reliably. The European Union is trying to break away from the United States, and they do not completely trust the United States. Russia is rising now, and Putin seems ambitious, but the current international situation shows that Russia protects Eastern Europe and the Middle East at best.
