His defection is too late to have an effect. My thought is that his presence in western Ukraine was known to NATO. When NATO intelligence picks up in the summer that there's fresh (sorta) Soviet forces coming out of western Ukraine, might they have concluded that the best Soviet general was coming at them, too?
