The Russians are coming
To Ukraine it looks like. Ukraine in undergoing a revolution/civil war. The Russians are mobilizing their army. They call it "exercises" but it's mobilization, the troops are out in the field moving around, and it only takes a telephone call to send them over the border into Ukraine. The Russians look upon Ukraine as historically Russian territory. If it weren't for the strong and lasting reaction to a Ukraine Anschluss in Europe and America, they would have done it by now. Putin surely thinks Ukraine will fall into his lap, without international repercussions if he just plays a waiting game. So the troops stay in Russia for the time being. But that could change anytime. The Ukrainians have gotta be really worried, or perhaps scared to death, with the Russian army mobilized on their border.
