With russia so weak militarily now, watch for social unrest in karelia and oblasts bordering europe right now, giving neighboring nations no choice but to send troops into karelia and boarder towns for peacekeeping work.

Edit: I’d say a 50 km buffer zone… to help contain the unrest… should work.

Didn't congress pass a law allocating money for this? Who holds the power of the purse? Some body outlined in article 1 of the constitution, that's all I know.

Withholding aid from Ukraine was the reason for Trump's first impeachment. This time around the GOP Congress will probably just applaud him.
