erm based on what? Poland was overrun in a month. By the Germans + Soviets. Here Russia is blundering about for 1 year and hasn't managed to capture 4 provinces, forget abt the whole country. And the Germans aren't exactly falling over themselves running to the front to fight. There is no real comparison with ww2.
The threat of Russia to the EU has actually reduced, compared to last year, given how massively they have blundered. Even if they capture the 4 regions they are going to take a long time to recover their strength.
