Fears are rising that Germany is failing to do enough to prevent a Russian invasion and failing to aid Ukraine in the case of an attack amid warnings from the White House that Russian troops could invade at any time.
U.S. officials say there is evidence Russia is planning to overthrow Ukraine’s government and take Kyiv, CNN reported Tuesday. Russia is also deploying troops into Belarus — a development that U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield said Tuesday shows Russia “is making moves that would suggest that they have plans to invade.”
German officials have voiced conflicting stances on whether or not they would impose harsh sanctions on Russia — a hesitancy likely motivated by a fear of harming their own economy. That lack of clarity likely empowers Moscow to feel as though it can get away with attacking Ukraine without suffering a crippling economic blow.
