  Putin's recognition of two pro-Russian breakaway regions in eastern Ukraine and subsequent invasion unilaterally condemned.
  On February 21 Russian President Vladimir Putin asserted that it's Moscow's duty to protect Russian speakers in Ukrainian territory from an alleged deadly threat posed by Kyiv—and swiftly deployed “peacekeepers” that entered two break-away regions in eastern Ukraine.
