Russian President Vladimir Putin orders Russian troops to enter two separatist-held regions in Ukraine
Kyiv and Lviv, Ukraine Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered troops into separatist-held parts of eastern Ukraine in what the Kremlin called a"peacekeeping" mission, just hours after he signed decrees recognizing the independence of the Moscow-backed regions.
In a fiery speech on Monday night, Putin blasted Kyiv's growing security ties with the West, and in lengthy remarks about the history of the USSR and the formation of the Ukrainian Socialist Soviet Republic, appeared to cast doubt on Ukraine's right to self-determination. "Ukraine has never had traditions of its own statehood," he said, calling the eastern part of the country"ancient Russian lands.
