Which 'they' do you mean?

The West, led by the US. Russia does not seem eager to provoke though Russia is responding (good or bad). That was my bad for the poor clarity

It is not that hard to conclude that the end goal desired by rulers of the AngloZionist empire is to subjugate and/or destroy Russia by any means possible.
Problem for them, many empires wanted the same and met their end as a result.
