American magazine Foreign policy published a material analyzing recent media reports that Russia is allegedly preparing an “invasion” of Ukraine.
One of the speakers, a researcher at the Cato Institute, Emma Ashford, expressed the opinion that Russia could seize the eastern part of Ukraine and reach the city of Dnipro.
“First of all, let’s not forget that Ukraine is the largest state in Europe after Russia. It is bigger than Germany, France or Poland. The conquest and re-annexation of Ukraine to Russia is impossible. However, great military power can be used to accomplish this task, ”she said.
Previously published by Bloomberg citing sources reportedthat US officials expressed concerns to their EU counterparts that Russia could allegedly consider the possibility of an “invasion” of Ukraine. At the same time, a “close to the Kremlin” source said that Russia should not start a war with Ukraine, but supposedly should show its readiness to use force if necessary.
Russian President Vladimir Putin named these allegations are alarmist.
