So far, the only confirmed intervention in Ukraine by the Russian military has been in Crimea and nowhere else. The intervention in Crimea is already covered in 2014 Crimean crisis and this article is essentially repeating everything that is already covered there. So unless there is further intervention by Russia in the future, this article needs to go. Constance Lahaye (talk) 03:56, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

• Comment – This article is very large. I find it hard to believe that all content is already covered, and oppose simply deleting the article without taking some sort of additional action as well. Dustin (talk) 04:12, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

• Delete – It's pointless to have an article that's a virtual duplicate of another. Now if there is further Russian intervention later on, this article might then be appropriate. But that's a story for another time, and hopefully it won't come to that :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.1.48.42 (talk) 06:13, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

• Redirect to 2014 Crimean crisis. Anything mentioned here can be incorporated into that article. Airplanegirl394 ✈️ 09:52, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

• Delete. It was an unneutrally and speculatively titled fork of 2014 Crimean Crisis from the very beginning. Now it's even worse, it's being used for speculation about Russia's involvement in the Eastern Ukraine. The speculations about Russia's troops "here and there" are already covered in the respective articles. --Moscow Connection (talk) 11:55, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

• Redirect to 2014 Crimean crisis. Does seem highly speculative beyond 2014 Crimean crisis article. Rwendland (talk) 20:55, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

• Merge to 2014 Crimean crisis. The organization of articles relating to Ukraine is been appalling since the start we have so many subarticles and names for different things it just becomes confusing as to what we are looking for or at. This should be merged into the Crimean Crisis as the only official Russian involvement occurred during this event. Everything else is speculation for the most part. --Kuzwa (talk) 18:28, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

• Keep or possibly rename to Russian military intervention in Crimea. If renamed, we would need an additional page, Russian military intervention in Eastern Ukraine. There is huge number of sources claiming about current and ungoing military intervention by Russia in Eastern Ukraine. This is allegedly done through (a) direct artillery attacks from Russian territory; (b) sending heavy weapons and their military personnel (disguised as people on temporary leave or retired from military service). That was the reason for international sanctions. Many GRU officers were killed in Eastern Ukraine [1]. Come on. My very best wishes (talk) 23:14, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
• Keep absolutely this is an important topic. anyone who looks at interpretermag.com from time to time knows there is much to write about. Sayerslle (talk) 23:42, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

• Keep - article covers a different aspect of the conflict than Crimean crisis. According to reliable sources, Russian intervention is probably not limited to Crimea. You can label that "speculation" but that's irrelevant - what's relevant is that reliable sources discuss the subject.Volunteer Marek (talk) 02:26, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
