“ 'The move has escalated fears among Western nations about a Russian invasion of Ukraine.'”
Perhaps you missed the march on Kyiv that was stopped in its tracks my heroic Ukranian resistance? Or the Russian atrocities in Bucha? The massacres in Izeum? The repulsed attacks on Kharkiv? Indiscriminate shelling of civilians and civilian infrastructure throughout the whole of Ukraine, even up to the borders with Poland?
They ALREADY tried to invade all of Ukraine and ALREADY crossed the Dnieper. What stopped them was bloody resistance from Ukraine, supported in no small measure by HMG.
The second most powerful army in the world got stuffed, and will continue getting stuffed until they depose Putin, go home and start paying reparations.
All IMHO, of course.
