RE:Pressure on share price
RE:Pressure on share price I doubt that the Russians will do anything major in eastern Ukraine
The timing for a major Russian escalation seems wrong: with European unity on sanctions against Russia wavering, a Russian-backed offensive now would reignite anger in western capitals over Moscow’s behaviour.
Up to now, Russia has used a mixture of loosely directed volunteers, military advisers and occasional injections of regular troops at key moments, while denying it has ever had a major military presence in east Ukraine.
But with Ukraine’s army improving over the past two years, a push for further territory would probably require a full-scale, overt Russian invasion that would irrevocably damage relations with the west.
Thats not likely to happen anytime soon.
Side meetings at the recent G20 meetings in China saw to that..
