Respected Ukrainian Military Analyst Warns Russian Invasion Imminent, As Early As Within 24 Hours -- Paul Roderick Gregory, Forbes
The well-known Ukrainian military analyst, Dmitry Tymchuk, warns that the invasion of East Ukraine by Russian troops is imminent and could take place within 24 hours.

Tymchuk links Russia’s military invasion plans with the preparatory activities of pro-Russian activists in East Ukrainian cities, which Washington now describes as an “illegal and illegitimate effort to destabilize a sovereign state …. with paid operatives across an international boundary.” (See WSJ, Ukraine Moves to Assert Control in East).
