"There is in fact a new Russian toolbox for dealing with disagreements in the post-Soviet space and by extension, the West. And that toolbox includes a number of weaponry, if you like. And that weaponry can be actual weaponry - tanks, as in Crimea - but can also be in terms of bribery or coercion or energy cut offs or diplomacy even.
