Crisis in Ukraine | Full Measure

The Pentagon has announced it’s sending 3-thousand U.S. troops to Eastern Europe amid the threat of a Russian invasion of Ukraine. 85-hundred more are on heightened alert.
The troops are headed to Germany, Poland and Romania on Ukraine’s western side. Russia, to the east, is staging more than 100-thousand troops near the border. Eight years ago, Russia invaded and annexed the Ukrainian state of Crimea and some think the whole of Ukraine, which used to be part of the Soviet Union, is next.
Russia President Putin has said it’s Russia that’s under threat from Ukraine’s growing closeness with the west and its military alliance NATO. The U.S. has refused Putin’s demands to promise Ukraine would not be allowed to join NATO. Full Measure reported from Ukraine in 2017 during previous tensions. To find out what’s really happening on the ground today, we reached out to Nolan Peterson, a former U.S. Special Operations pilot living in and reporting from Ukraine’s capital of Kiev.
