How Will the West React to Russian Threats?

What You Need To Know:

✅ Russia’s recent increased military presence in and around the annexed peninsula of Crimea has raised concerned in the West and in the United Sates;
✅ “A lot of people in Washington have started to understand the way that Putin works;”
✅ Thoburn thinks that this could be more about Putin wanting to change the Normandy format or trying to get some changes out of the Minsk Agreement;
✅ “If Putin got his way, he would much prefer to have Russian-American negations about Ukraine,” adds Thoburn, without any European countries present.
