And risk another sternly worded statement from Obama? I think not.
Via Fox Nation:
Russia has said it has no intention of invading eastern Ukraine, but a top politician from Kiev told Fox News Saturday that there is “still a huge possibility that Russia could invade and seize Ukrainian territory.”
Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk voiced his concern as Russia’s military takes positions on the country’s border. Yarsenyuk, however, expressed some optimism for a diplomatic solution after an hour-long phone call Friday between President Obama and President Vladimir Putin.
“Diplomacy is always the best way forward,” he said.
Yatsenyuk’s concern for further Russian aggression is shared by many in the West.
U.S. Defense officials told Fox News the numbers of troops at Ukraine’s border far exceeds the amount needed for a training exercise. And the fact that there is no real evidence any large-scale exercises have occurred, and that none of the troops have returned to their bases, is also concerning to U.S. observers.
