Today’s R&D covers the Ukrainian crisis. Last week, the Ukrainian government released videos of captured Russian troops in Eastern Ukraine, which contradicts the Russian government’s official stance that it does not have a present in the eastern half of the country. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) alleges that Russia has more than 1,000 troops in Ukraine, and Russian actions in the area have resulted in Western sanctions.
