Another good ally might be United States but it will take them a while to get to Russia. If Russia plans on invading you, train your army in your homeland and justify on the Baltic countries if Russia has not taken them yet. Its territory and Treasury will be useful. Justify on Poland. Annex Poland via AI Luring and then do the same with Ukraine. If Russia annexed Ukraine, you can bargain with Russia for Ukraine. If they won't cede it, you can invade Russia with any type of strategy you like. It is recommended to call in allies since Russia can easily defeat you if they are a decent player.
