As the U.S. and Russia talk, Ukrainian troops say they're ready to die to stop another invasion
CBS News senior foreign correspondent Holly Williams is in eastern Ukraine, speaking with military leaders who are preparing for a potential war with Russia, and hoping to prevent another land-grab.
Commander Andriy, a 22-year veteran of Ukraine's armed forces, is worried. He believes there's a very real chance that Putin will order his forces to invade once again. Some analysts believe a full Russian ground invasion, with tanks, artillery and armored vehicles rolling over the border, would only be possible after the ground here freezes solid, but in the trenches, troops told CBS News they believe it could happen any time.Putin rejects the concerns voiced by Ukraine, the U.S. and its NATO allies, insisting that it's Russia suffering at the hands of Western aggression. He has demanded security guarantees from the U.S.
Some analysts think Putin believes the U.S. is in decline as a superpower, and that he senses an opportunity for Russia to gain clout on the world stage, at the expense of the democratic West.
