This sounds like a lot of hype and fear-mongering, but I cannot imagine that taking the East of the Ukraine would be too much of a problem for the Russian military.
From CNN:
NATO’s military chief warned Wednesday that Russian troops could begin moving on Ukraine within 12 hours of being given an order, amid fears that Moscow could seek to invade its eastern region.
Gen. Philip Breedlove, NATO’s supreme allied commander Europe, also told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour that with 40,000 troops massed near the border, Russia has all the components necessary to move on Ukraine.
These forces are “supported by fixed-wing aircraft, rotary aircraft, all of the logistics required in order to successfully make an incursion if they needed,” he said.
In terms of deterrence, Breedlove said NATO has a good air and sea plan and is working in the next several days on developing a land component to that reassurance.
Ukraine is not a NATO member, but many countries that are members — such Poland and the Baltic states — have voiced their increasing anxiety about Russia’s recent actions.
NATO said on Tuesday that it would suspend “all practical civilian and military cooperation” with Russia in response to its annexation of Ukraine’s southern Crimea region, which has triggered the worst East-West crisis since the Cold War.
It also said it had seen no sign that Moscow is withdrawing some of its troops from the eastern Ukrainian border, as Russia has claimed.
I presently have no idea whether or not Putin has a plan to take the East. Though I suppose if they do, NATO will continue to whine and do nothing at all. Which means there is really no good reason for Russia not to take more of the Ukraine.
Especially if it only takes 12 hours.
At least NATO is sending in some “instructors” to instruct the Ukraine on how to be invaded.
Ukraine and NATO representatives on Tuesday discussed the possibility of sending NATO military instructors to Ukraine to train Ukrainian civil defense forces, Ukraine’s acting Defense Minister Andrei Deshchitsa said after a meeting of the NATO-Ukraine commission.
“We discussed a possibility of sending mobile groups of instructors to Ukraine to train its civil defense forces,” he said.
NATO’s former Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen did not rule out sending mobile groups of military instructors to Ukraine. However, he excluded the possibility of sending NATO’s armed forces to Ukraine.
