Russian Invasion Of Ukraine?. "A look at the past could help Washington and its allies devise the proper response. Despite the election of Petro Poroshenko as Ukraine's president, the withdrawal of some Russian forces from Ukraine's border and efforts to move diplomacy along, the specter of a Kremlin military incursion remains as does the West's befuddlement about what to do should an attack occur.
