Realistically? We can't do a whole lot because neither the US nor the EU has the inclination to go on a war-footing with Russia and geography is not on Ukraine's side in thwarting a Russian invasion.

The best that might happen may be supplying the Ukraine with weapons to lengthen the invasion and/or make it a pyrric victory for Russia by going scorched-earth on the port facilities and the Black Seas Fleet. Might be a good time to "lose" a bunch of Exocet anti-ship missiles in the area of the Bosporus.



If Russia wants Ukraine, they're going to get Ukraine. It's a question of how much damage they're going to take to get it, though.

I think they're going to get some of Ukraine...they don't have the wherewithal to take down a large hostile population. Yes they could defeat the Ukrainian Army but it would be another thing to rule it.
