For nearly eight years now, Ukrainian forces have been fighting a Russian-backed separatist insurgency in the east of the country. The conflict has claimed some 14,000 lives.
With tens of thousands of Russian troops now massing on the border, many in Ukraine fear an imminent invasion.
Russian diplomats are meeting with other delegates in the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe today, as efforts continue to de-escalate tensions over Ukraine. Talks between Russian and NATO officials ended on Wednesday without a breakthrough. EU foreign and defence ministers are also gathering today in the French city of Brest to discuss the crisis.

Russian troops on Russian soil. Who cares. Call me when they are in Kiev.
It's happening so yeah
During my entire 70 year life… Russia has done nothing but make trouble all over the world… Russia thinks its 1935.
We should put all our leaders in jail, because if we don't do that now, we will fight their wars soon.
LOVE RUSSIA!!! greetings from western Europe.
Conservatives kill each other since forever…what else is new?
The internet, lasers.. apps..
Not old hat" mafia states..
If y'all been paying attention to the situation in Ukraine since day one, the former President of Ukraine is pro Russia. The EU didn't want to see a new Soviet Union be created. The Ukraine military removed him and any high ranking military officers who is pro Russia. The people in Crimea are pro Russia or desedenc of native Russia.
Abolish NATO
God bless her
NATO needs to jump in. Help Ukraine and get ready for the war with Russia.
What a lie, Europe never gave a damn about Ukraiine,
What more fearsome and lethal than Russian military hardwares are the lies and misinformation peddled by DW and its brotherhood of Western media on a 21 st century of * colonisation" of mind .
Russia would face a speed bump.
The question you should ask is what efforts Ukranians have made to win back the hearts and minds of the ethnic Russians in Donetsk and Lughansk.
Who really believes this nothingburger story ? Shame on DW .
Fork Russia
Putin is a bloodthirsty tyrant that needs to be put down along with all of his supporters. I hope NATO along with all of Europe grows some balls and get to work in helping Ukraine.
the ukrainian army shells civilian buildings on a daily basis. no one cares.
Is NATO pushing war with Russia ?Do it in Canada and Alaska dont do it over Europe ….please
Milked Syria enough now its back to Ukraine?
other news said thtat in has been invaded sorrounded ukraine soldiers says dot news
You know what's funny is that the Russians were going to offered nukes to Mexico even tho we don't have WMD or a nuclear power plant lol
Germany your crimes in the Ukraine are legion but here you are again
German WW2 has been over a long time and here you are still a occupied country…same as japan
Russia dont want a war with Europe
Despite my moniker Blackseabrew I am an American. All I see is an incompetent Biden administration thinking that a conflict with Russia can be used to cover up their COVID stupidity and distract from their disastrous ratings. It doesn't help to have a bunch of neoconservatives on the other side of the aisle that have never seen a war they don't like. In addition there are decent Republicans whose support for the military is so strong they can't allow themselves to have a critical thought that poking the bear might not be a good idea. I've spent some time in Ukraine and I like the country and the people. I know enough to know the USA should NOT be in this political entanglement looking soon to be a military entanglement. 15,000 civilians have already paid with their lives. But USA politicians don't care one bit.
Russia should just take control of it and we can all get back to normal.
Listen dear Ukrainian civilians if you follow the USA and Nato allies you all will face bad consequences.
Remember that
My thinking on how NATO should react (I'm not a military expert I'm some guy on the internet so don't take this seriously it's just my thoughs)
1. Blockade Russia entirely and cut off any and all access to the rest of the world
2. Send troops to Ukraine for defensive purposes
3. If Russia continues their offensive in Ukraine, then go on the counter-offensive and enter Russia itself.
4. Whatever happens then
If you want support ukrain than send billions of cash and dont expect to get it back only keep sending and sending!
Russia did ask usa to promise not to expand and usa can't give that promise.
Usa and nato get closer to Russia and not Rusdia get closer to them.
Ukrain and Baltic countries been sheeting for very long time on Russia door step and maybe now time to pay back from Russia?
SUPPORT FOR UKRAINE (KIEV) FROM ROMANIA!!!
Nuland did this and Obama
Nato TERRORIST
Hit em hard Russia
Really? Was the 4th kid really smart?
Worst neighbor a country can have is Russia… worst of the worst.
