Will Russia Invade?

The whole world holds its breath, wondering: will Russia invade Ukraine? In some regards, they already have. Over the past eight years, despite numerous cease-fire agreements,Russia and Ukraine have been locked in an on-going conflict. But now, Russia is moving even more military equipment and personnel to its border with Ukraine, ramping up tensions in an already tenuous—and complex—situation.
