Russia sends troops into Ukraine amid widespread international condemnation

22 February 2022
Russia has  started deploying troops to the Ukrainian regions of Lugansk and Donetsk shortly after president Putin signed decrees recognising the two breakaway regions as independent states. There is still uncertainty as to what the Russian endgame is. Parts of Lugansk and Donetsk have been under separatist control since 2014. But if the Russian forces try to move beyond these enclaves to territory controlled by the Ukrainian army some very heavy fighting is to be expected.

France, US and UK strongly condemned the Russian action. Several countries are expected to impose sanctions.
