Yes,,,,I understand the above about countries near the border of Russia..........but Russia has a not good history of taking over countries.....Hungary, The Baltic Nations, Poland, East Germany...... for example . Do the Russian People know that? And is it worth risking Atomic War to try to control The Ukraine and Georgia...and Crimea? Hard questions...you don't have to respond if the questions are too much. Best wishes to all The Russian People...great country and people...we hope all invasions stop....and peace will prevail....we need peace in Europe.
Can you please inform me if anyone is able to disagree with Mr. Putin about entering The Ukraine? Do the Russian People consider The Ukraine as part of Russia? boland7214@aol.com
