Russia occupied Crimea in Ukraine in 2014 Even then, Russia deployed troops and weapons on the Ukrainian border But Jim Townsend, a senior Pentagon official at the time, said Russia had been able to occupy Crimea because the United States and Europe had not responded. He is currently serving as a Senior Fellow at the Center for a New American Society After the Pentagon, Townsend also served as the Obama administration’s Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense. He recently said that the Obama administration should have reacted more strongly to Russia’s move in Ukraine in 2014.
In talks between NATO and Russia on Wednesday, NATO aims to prevent a repeat of 2014. In return, Russia will seek assurances that NATO will not move its activities further east Russia also wants assurances that NATO will reduce its troop numbers from Europe and that Ukraine will never be a member of NATO. Ukraine is currently a NATO partner The United States and NATO have already strategically rejected sanctions on NATO members.
