Things in Europe are heating up with threats made by Russia President Vladimir Putin to the Ukraine President Petro Poroshenko.
In a private meeting also attended by European Commission President Jose Manuel Barraso, Putin said that Russian troops could reach multiple points in Europe in just two days.
“If I wanted, in two days I could have Russian troops not only in Kiev, but also in Riga, Vilnius, Tallinn, Warsaw and Bucharest,” he said, according to German newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung, citing a European Union memorandum of the meeting.
While troops could move that swiftly, Putin apparently conceded that it would take up to two weeks to actually capture Kiev.
Riga is the capital of Latvia, Vilnius is the capital of Lithuania, Tallinn is the capital of Estonia, Warsaw is the capital of Poland, and Bucharest is the capital of Romania.
If the report is true then it would be the first time Putin has threatened to invade any NATO or European Union member countries.
