— Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday recognized the independence of two Russian-backed breakaway republics in the east of. The Biden administration warned last week that the move would violate international law and Ukraine's sovereignty, and would"necessitate a swift and firm response" from America and its allies.
"The goal of our meeting today is to listen to our colleagues and map out our next moves in this matter, meaning both the requests by the leaders of the Donetsk People's Republic and Luhansk People's Republic to Russia asking to recognize their sovereignty," Putin opened the meeting by saying. Doing so"would further undermine Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity," U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said last week, and"constitute a gross violation of international law."
But with Putin's statement of his intent on Monday, there was little room for doubt of the outcome. The question is what he might actually do next on the ground, where he has as many as 190,000 of his troops poised to invade Ukraine — including along the border of the very regions he said Russia will soon no longer recognize as Ukrainian territory.Russia appears to be following steps in a playbook for an invasion of Ukraine that the U.S.
Germany just stopped work on the Russian pipeline!
Needs to be all of mother Russia , not this backwater that probably doesn't buy from the west !
joe_kidder2 Jesus!! As if The United States has trade and finances with two little blighted waste lands, beginning to look like impotent chest thumping, useless scare tactics of hurting Putin's 600 Billion Funds and likely Bank of China loans.Biden should stop over promising
So, in order words, JoeBiden is doing nothing. 🧐
Right. And I'm willing to sell the bridge I just built from San Francisco to Hawaii.....dirt cheap.

DevalueTheRuble
What about current Biden investments...this eliminates nre competing investments
Did hunter get his last check
Has there ever been a time when these fool Russians (and these fool Westerners) did not argue?
What else would you expect from some of the worst leadership this country has ever had.
USA has accepted it's defeat. They can't do anything.🙂🙂
You need not to be an geopolitical expert to understand the fact that the Russian-backed areas must have only Russian investments.
We don't need this war
Hunter Biden hardest hit
Yes, make the people in those territories suffer... that'll show him
Putin pulled an America. Back the rebels, arm them, destabilize the country, then install their own government... but the answer is to punish the two regions who want independence rather than the one's facilitating the move? 👍
And where are the sanctions for russia ? And no one from the United States has invested a single dollar in these separatist innovations. Joe's reaction is very weak.
POTUS WhiteHouse WHCOS ABlinken StateDept SenateDems HouseDemocrats JUST SANCTION THE HELL OF ALL OF RUSSIA AND THOSE COUNTRIES BACKING PUTIN LIKE BELARUS. THAT WILL TEACH THEM A HARD LESSON TO RESPECT THEIR NEIGHBORS. UN_SecurityCSA
In Syria , the US recognized rebels as the legitimate government. Also US recognized Israel's claim to Jerusalem as their capital. We are sick of the US trying to act World police
So...they are sanctioning Ukraine. Got it. U.S. imperialism, you rascal, you've done it again.
Ineffective sanctions!! Sanctions should be imposed on Russia!!
Happy President's Day! God Bless President Biden !!! FLOTUS ❤️ POTUS 🦅 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
