I propose merging Timeline of the Russian invasion of Ukraine (prelude) into this article. There is basically nothing in the timeline that isn't already in this article, save a couple of specific dates, and it's actually less detailed and comprehensive than this article, which definitely isn't what one wants from a timeline article. Per WP:REDUNDANTFORK, " redundant or conflicting articles [...] are to be avoided", and "If the content fork was unjustified, the more recent article should be merged back into the main article."

The article's main map is not accurate. For the time period that the article talks about, Finland was not a participant of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Aleksandr Grigoryev ( talk) 02:10, 16 May 2023 (UTC)

Hello! I will be reviewing this article. It could take up to a week. From an initial skim I think the biggest issue is the article's length. The article is 12,600 words long, but per
WP:SIZERULE, articles should not typically exceed 9,000 words. While I am reviewing, could you take a look and try to shorten the article? --

Ok here we go! The article is very well written so there is not a lot to fix.
Just minor things as you can see! I'll place the article on hold for 7 days so you can resolve these issues and the length. -- Cerebellum ( talk) 22:21, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
To be honest, I think you need to be a bit more ruthless about cutting content without trying to find a home for everything in other articles. Otherwise you will tie yourself up in knots starting lengthy merge discussions. Here are a couple examples:
I don't want to step on your toes but let me know if you would like me to suggest more things to remove. I would look particularly at the reactions section because we already have a separate article Reactions to the 2021–2022 Russo-Ukrainian crisis, most of the content could be moved there and frankly, reactions are not as interesting as the actual events. Thank you for continuing to work with me! I'm sorry this review has dragged out so long! -- Cerebellum ( talk) 11:36, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

The link for Defender Europe links to an article about the Reorganization plan of United States Army, rather than the Defender-Europe 21 NATO exercise. Is this correct and/or or can someone fix this? 2601:602:867E:DCA0:6CE8:E3C5:A353:4B0D ( talk) 04:51, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
