In the event of further supply of Ukraine with weapons from NATO and the planned deployment of missile systems, one can clearly speak of a security threat to peace in Europe.
Both the deployment of missiles and the preparation of Ukraine for the conquest of Donbass territory should prompt Russia to intervene.
Russia cannot allow missiles to appear on its doorstep, just as it cannot come to terms with the Ukrainian military operation against the residents of Donbass.
Russia will have to intervene to prevent a humanitarian catastrophe. Many residents of Donbass have Russian passports. Thus, Russia is acting not only in the interests of the security of the region, it is accountable to its citizens.
