Hinder

Alter

Deliquesce

Dissipate

Consider

- The context suggests a change in NATO's approach to Russia's views on expansion.

- Option 1: "Hinder" implies obstructing or blocking. NATO wouldn't be blocking Russian sensitivities.

- Option 2: "Alter" means change. While possible, it doesn't fit perfectly as NATO isn't changing the sensitivities themselves.

- Option 3: "Deliquesce" is rarely used, meaning to dissolve or melt away. Contextually irrelevant here.

- Option 4: "Dissipate" means to scatter or disperse, which doesn’t directly apply to sensitivities.

- Option 5: "Consider" means to take into account or acknowledge. NATO deciding not to acknowledge Russian sensitivities fits well here.

- Option 5: Consider is the most appropriate word.
