That's not very many guys to be mounting an invasion with.Something may be afoot, but "invasion" is probably not it.
Ukraine was looted and disarmed by the previous pro-Putin regime, the one that paid Manafort millions. Ukraine does not have a strong military and no air force or navy worth discussing at all.
Fair enough. Still, it's basically only two or three divisions. I could see that sort of force making local incursions, but they couldn't hope to do anything really big.
And Ukraine is full of Russians who want Putin in charge
