I think it's more complex than just Russian interests. The Russians I've talked to about this issue believe that the west is not coming up with any solutions either. They too see a lot of human rights abuses and challenges, and they don't dispute that there are many innocents being slaughtered, but they don't think the solutions the west is coming up with are effective. It's not just a disagreement about interests; it's a disagreement about how to go about dealing with the problem.
