Shifting to the latest developments in Ukraine. One of NATO's top commanders has warned...
that Russian forces are gathering on the border with eastern Ukraine.
Paul, is this merely a show of force? Or signs of an imminent invasion?
NATO's supreme allied commander in Europe, General Philip Breedlove is strongly hinting
at the latter. Speaking in Brussels on Sunday, Breedlove
said the mass of Russian military force... is "very, very sizeable and very, very ready"...
and could even pose a threat to Moldova on the other side of the country.
"If Russia is worried about a country moving towards the West, the way to solve that is
an incursion, a frozen conflict. And now, no one wants to think about bringing that
nation aboard into NATO because it might mean conflict with Russia."
And in just the last few hours, Ukraine's interim President Olexander Turchynov has
ordered the full withdrawal of armed forces from Crimea.
He said the decision was made due to growing Russian threats to military personnel and
their families.
