Russia and Ukraine Will Meet After Russia Invades Part of Ukraine and Putin Put Nuclear Forces on Alert. Putin had invaded Chernobyl and basically threatened Europe and there are reports of radiation leaking after an explosion. Putin had threatened if things escalate we would see something the world has not yet seen. The ISS could fall into Earth without a planned descent if relations broke apart and maintenance did not happen, supplies could not be delivered.

Russia wants Ukraine to not join NATO, Putin seems paranoid about NATO, Putin was an officer in the KGB under the communist Soviet Union. NATO is afraid of Russia invading Ukraine, so it's a delicate situation. Putin isn't dumb he has experience most leaders do not have, he doesn't even hide the James Bond type lifestyle.

Russia Supplies Energy to Europe and even Canada imports quite a lot of oil from Russia. Solutions exist to have energy independence and allowing renewable hemp energy to fairly compete with fossil fuels.
