Russia has begun military operations in two provinces, which are seceding from Ukraine. The world was in a state of panic as Russian troops crossed the border in large numbers, including tanks. The Russian military has entered the Donetsk region, a rebel stronghold that has been divided with Ukraine since 2014, in large numbers, including tanks. The move was announced by Russian President Vladimir Putin in an hour – long televised address to the nation yesterday. Putin said Ukraine had never had the character of a free country.
The United States now controls the puppet regime in Ukraine. Russia recognizes the independence of the provinces of Donetsk and Luhansk, which are separated from Ukraine. Putin said Russia was sending troops to these pro-Russian provinces to promote peace there. European countries and the United States have reacted harshly to Putin’s military action. The United States and European nations have said Russia’s decision to send troops was a “firestorm”. The U.S. response was that it was a shameful move to expect. The United States has launched tough sanctions on Russia.
Ukrainian President Vladimir Selinsky has said that Ukraine’s geographical boundaries will not change no matter what Russia says. UN chief Antonio Guterres said the announcement was “worrying”. The United States and Britain have begun sanctions. Many countries around the world condemned Russia’s action at an emergency UN Security Council meeting to discuss the situation. Russia’s position is that it has the right to defend its borders and defend itself. Ukraine says two soldiers have been killed in the past 24 hours in attacks by Rohingya-backed rebels.
