It would be remiss of NATO and other European countries not to be enhancing their forces/capabilities in europe at this time. I should imagine the intelligence communities are working overtime right now. 
As for MattyLondons post about the AN-225, i hadnt heard that it had been destroyed. That's a serious loss of heavy lift capability. I was involve in an offshore project which required 3m diameter concrete pipe for a sea outfall. These came from USA. Each length weighed 20te and 10 were broken in the sea crossing so, in order to keep to the project timescale, they flew in 10 pipe sections (200te) in the An225 to Cardiff airport. That was some sight!
