Tyckte jag hörde på nyheterna ikväll att Biden haft en videomöte med Putin och att Putin ämnar backa av, att läget är lugnt.
Verkar då som man bara vill skramla lite så väst hör/ser. Putin vill ha upprättelse kring något gammalt avtal, därav militär markering.
Men tror inte han är beredd att åtnjuta alla kraftiga sanktioner det skulle innebära att börja traska över gränser.

Biden and Putin make little apparent headway on Ukraine in virtual summit

Russian officials said that Putin would press Biden in order to force Kyiv to abide by the 2015 Minsk agreements, an agreement that both Russia and Ukraine have accused the other side of violating. “It looks like Kyiv won’t listen to anyone but the United States,” the Russian foreign minister, Sergey Lavrov, said ahead of the talks on Tuesday.
The agreement stipulates that Ukraine reform its constitution and open direct talks with Russian-backed separatists, both of which are extremely unpopular in Kyiv. Analysts called the requests non-starters.

“Russia isn’t going to attack anyone, but we have our own concerns and our own red lines. [Putin] has made them clear,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters before the talks.
