Putin Orders Russian “Peacekeepers” into Ukraine Separatist Regions

HeadlineFeb 22, 2022

Russian troops have deployed to two separatist regions in eastern Ukraine, after Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday declared them independent states. Putin made the announcement from the Kremlin during a lengthy speech in which he questioned the legitimacy of Ukraine as an independent sovereign state.

President Vladimir Putin: “We demand from those who captured and hold the power in Kyiv to immediately end the combat activities; otherwise, all responsibility for the possible continuation of the bloodshed will be entirely on the conscience of the regime ruling the territory of Ukraine.”
