Moscow: Russian President Vladimir Putin has been given permission by lawmakers to use the army outside the country on Tuesday. Now it is reported that more than 10 thousand Russian soldiers have entered the separatist-held areas. Concerns are being raised that Putin may try to capture land in Ukraine with the help of the military. The special thing is that recently many Western countries have supported the matter of imposing sanctions on Russia.
A report in the Daily Mail quoted military sources as saying that thousands of Russian soldiers are already in Ukraine. It was further told that some time ago Putin has ordered his army to cross the border. Sources associated with the Ukrainian military intelligence system told Mail Online that more than 10,000 soldiers had entered the separatist-held area overnight.
Of these, 6 thousand are in Donetsk, 5 thousand in Luhansk, and 1500 in Horlivka. According to the report, sources said, ‘It is hard to believe that (Putin) could do this so quickly, but he had a lot of preparation time.’
Lawmakers allow Putin to use military force outside Russia
Russian lawmakers on Tuesday allowed Russian President Vladimir Putin to use military force outside the country. The move has raised fears of a wider Russian attack on Ukraine. The US has said that Ukraine has already been attacked. The Federation Council, the upper house of the Russian parliament, voted unanimously to allow Putin to use the military outside Russia. This formalized the Russian military deployment to rebel areas in eastern Ukraine. About 14,000 people have died in these eight-year-old conflicts.
Earlier, Western leaders had said that Russian troops had reached the eastern part of Ukraine. Referring to the deployment of Russian troops in eastern Ukraine, the US has now termed this move of Russia as an ‘aggression’. The US was hesitant to use the term at the start of the Ukraine crisis. At the same time, US President Joe Biden has said that as a result of this move, America will impose strict sanctions on Russia.
Earlier in the day, leaders of several Western countries said Russian troops had entered the areas after Russian President Vladimir Putin recognized the independence of rebel-controlled areas in eastern Ukraine, but some leaders indicated That it does not equate to a complete invasion of Ukraine. At the same time, the White House’s Principal Deputy National Security Adviser John Finer said, ‘We believe this is the beginning of the attack. The beginning of a new offensive on Ukraine from Russia.
