After months of warnings about the apparently increasing degree of Russian intervention in the conflict in eastern Ukraine, Ukrainian Defense Minister Valeriy Heletey declared on September 2, “A great war has arrived at our doorstep — the likes of which Europe has not seen since World War Two.... Unfortunately, the losses in such a war will be measured not in the hundreds but thousands and tens of thousands.” Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin allegedly declared, “if I want Ill take Kiev in two weeks” — a threat which led former Polish president Lech Walesa to publicly speculate that Putin’s escalation of the conflict “could lead to a nuclear war.”
