More extensive and prompt supportive engagement is required. Lesser total costs are preferable to the higher ones, as they accumulate in longer periods of festering time.
All intelligent Humans understand and long for the one and only, obvious, peaceful, life-sustaining axiom, as expressed by the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying and stated below:

"..."Through modernized forms of subversive tactics, Russia interferes in the domestic political affairs of countries around the world," read the document. "Russia uses information operations as part of its offensive cyber efforts to influence public opinion across the globe. Its influence campaigns blend covert intelligence operations and false online personas with state-funded media, third-party intermediaries, and paid social media users or 'trolls.'”..."
"....For one thing, the commander in chief attacked other superpowers, saying, "China and Russia challenge American power, influence and interests, attempting to erode American security and prosperity. They are determined to make economies less free and less fair, to grow their militaries, and to control information and data to repress their societies and expand their influence.”..."

This is while both the regions have been suffering from decades of intrusive and aggressive US strategy, that has led to unprecedented phenomena such as Daesh (ISIL) in Iraq and Syria today.
In his national security speech, the president repeated recent reports that Russian President Vladimir Putin thanked him, asserting that the collaboration was "the way it's supposed to work."
Speaking to an applauding audience of about 650 people, he further boasted that “while we seek such opportunities of cooperation, we will stand up for ourselves and we will stand up for our country like we have never stood up before.”
