The tensions between Ukraine and Russia has started soaring since 24 February 2022 as Russia has announced military operations in Ukraine. The battle began escalating on 21 February 2022 after Russian President Vladimir Putin established independent regions in eastern Ukraine and deployed troops in a peacekeeping role.<\/p>\n

President of U.S. Mr. Joe Biden is continuously\u00a0warning\u00a0Russia\u00a0of serious consequences if Ukraine is\u00a0invaded. Ukraine\u2019s government offices and banks experienced cyberattacks, while the rebel groups\u00a0are seeking Kremlin\u2019s help.<\/p>\n

The European Union has declared an emergency meeting on February 24 to hold Russia responsible for the intensifying conflict, which now jeopardises to turn into a full fledged war<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday Russia announced that its recognition of independence for areas in eastern Ukraine\u00a0extends to territory presently held by Ukrainian forces \u2014 further raising the stakes among Western fears that\u00a0Moscow\u2019s full-scale invasion of Ukraine is close at hand.<\/p>\n

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov aforesaid that\u00a0Russia has acknowledged the rebel regions\u2019 independence\u00a0\u201cin borders that existed when they declared\u201d their independence in 2014.Ukrainian forces later rescued control of large part of both regions during a nearly 8 year fight that has killed over 14,000 people.<\/p>\n

The announcement comes a day after Russia said it would accredit the independence \u2014 but didn’t exactly declare \u00a0about what it considered the borders of those regions to be. The move was widely visible in the West to presage a Russian invasion. Russia has assembled an estimated 150,000 troops near Ukraine in recent weeks, and Western bodies have warned Moscow planned to attack. Western leaders have criticised the move and said they are preparing to declare sanctions.<\/p>\n

Later this\u00a0Monday, collection of armored vehicles were seen rolling across the separatist-dominated territories. It wasn\u2019t directly clear if they were Russian.<\/p>\n

Russian officials haven’t yet accepted any troop deployments to the rebel east, but Vladislav Brig, a member of the separatist local council told reporters that the Russian troops already had moved in, taking up positions in the north and west regions.<\/p>\n

Ever since the struggle erupted weeks after Russia\u2019s 2014 incorporation of the Ukrainian Crimean Peninsula, Ukraine and its Western associates have accused Moscow of backing the separatists with troops and weapons, the charges it has renounced, saying that Russians who fought in the east were volunteers. Mr. Putin\u2019s move on Monday formalises Russia\u2019s grasp on the regions and gives it a free hand to spread its forces there.<\/p>\n

And Russia set the stage for a quick move to establish its hold on the regions on Tuesday with new governance that would allow the deployment of troops there. The bills, which are set promptly sail through both houses of Russian parliament, anticipate military ties, including possible implementation of Russian military bases in the separatist regions.<\/p>\n

President of Ukraine Mr. Volodymyr Zelenskyy chose to project calm, informing the country in a speech overnight that they won\u2019t be afraid of anyone or anything. They don\u2019t owe anyone anything. And that they will not give anything to anyone. His Foreign Minister, Dmytro Kuleba, would arrive in Washington on Tuesday to discuss with Secretary of State Antony Blinken, the State Department said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Kremlin accepted its own aggression against Ukraine,\u201d Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov said on Twitter, describing Moscow\u2019s move as a \u201cNew Berlin Wall\u201d and encouraging the West to quickly slap Russia with sanctions.<\/p>\n

The White House responded promptly , issuing an executive order to forbid U.S. investment and trade in the separatist regions, and additional measures \u2014 likely sanctions \u2014 were to be declared on Tuesday. Those sanctions are independent of what Washington has prepared in the event of a Russian invasion, according to a senior administration official who briefed reporters on the condition of anonymity.Other Western allies also said they were planning to declare sanctions.<\/p>\n

British PM Boris Johnson said Tuesday the U.K. will also introduce \u201cimmediate\u201d economic sanctions against Russia, and alerted that Mr. Putin is inclined on \u201ca full-scale invasion of Ukraine … that would be absolutely catastrophic.”<\/p>\n

Mr. Johnson said that Mr. Putin had \u201centirely torn up international law\u201d and British sanctions would victimize not just the regions of Donetsk and Luhansk but \u201cRussian economic interests as hard as we can.\u201d<\/p>\n
