Ukraine Crisis Live: Russian defence ministry Wednesday announced the end of Crimea military drills, reported news agency AFP. The Russian defence ministry shared a video of Russian military equipment and forces leaving Crimea. The move comes after Moscow said Tuesday that some of its troops are returning to home bases, indicating cooling of tensions regarding the Ukraine issue.

Hopefully, this is not a Russian deflective move.

With (in this case) the opponent being Mr Brand, whose video being posted prompted your remark.

Even if Russia invades Ukraine, the US and Europe will do nothing to stop it, like every time:
- In 2000: Bush warned Putin not to stand against Chechnya' separation. Result: Russia invaded Chechnya and prevented its separation.
- In 2008: Bush warned Putin not to attack Georgia. Result: Russia invaded Georgia.
- In 2014: Obama warned Putin not to attack Ukraine. Result: Russia invaded Crimea and annexed it.
- In 2015: Obama warned Putin not to support Assad in Syria. Result: Russia entered Syria and saved Assad's ass and supported his massacres.
- In 2018: Trump demanded Putin to exit Syria. Result: Putin established a second base in Syria.
- And now: Biden warning Putin not to invade Ukraine. Result:??

The smart thing to do for Ukraine now is to abandon its plan to join the NATO, hence avoiding the war altogether, and not to rely on the US/West, not even the NATO members, to defend it, in the last 2 decades they proved to be just talk.

This NATO virtue-signaling goes back to Hungary in 1956 and Czechoslovakia in 1968.

And they are doing it again:

All they do is making statements while Putin already ignited civil war in Ukraine with his implanted puppets, tearing it apart from the inside.

The NATO/West’s reaction? Statements…

Nonsense. The West doesn't see enough value in Ukraine. Ukraine is nothing but an expendable pawn to agitate the Russians.
