Wall Street Journal | Putin orders deployment of troops to breakaway regions in Ukraine
Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered Russian troops into two breakaway regions of Ukraine after recognizing their independence, a move that threatened to scuttle negotiations with the West over the future security of Eastern Europe.
His two decrees were published on the Russian government's legal portal after a televised address late Monday in which Mr. Putin laid out grievances about the West's support of Ukraine after the collapse of the Soviet Union and Western arms deliveries to Kyiv against the backdrop of a massive Russian troop buildup near its borders.
