Since then they decided the Russian troops will stay in Belarus.
In previous days there was some focus in media on the shootings in Donbas, and how civilians flee.
Today they dropped the bomb: they gonna sanction Russia if she invades Ukraine and not allow Russian oligarchs to get their monies they pumped out from the country:

Now something that noone talks about, maybe because impossible I don't know enough to judge that, but I put the idea here:
What if they use this situation and help Ukraine to put down the separatists in Donetsk and Lugansk?
They raise the tension and restart the war and then Ukraine pushes in, while international diplomacy try and block Russia to support officially and unofficially those republics? Media in the West and here too could easily sell it as defending against Russian aggression.
Is Ukraine even strong enough to do that?
