Putin recognises independence of breakaway areas of Ukraine
The Kremlin says President Putin has decided to recognise the independence of two breakaway areas of Ukraine controlled by Russian-backed separatists.
A Kremlin statement said Putin had told the French and German leaders he intended to sign a decree recognising the Donetsk and Luhansk areas as independent states.


So is this the first step for Russia to move in ?

What is going to be the impact for the rest of the world

I think one man should not have the power to take a country to war.
If one side starts to think they are losing what happens then.
Red buttons at dawn.
Very scary atm.

Hmmm, could be tricky to avoid politics in this subject. Unless an outbreak of war is decided by Ant and Dec on Saturday Night Takeaway, rather than those politiciany type people

Ominous activity with 'peacekeeping' action announced!

So “peacekeeping” troops going in of course with only the authority of Russia

That’s pretty much Ukraine done and dusted soon enough

No idea, but several years ago I saw a fantastic golf break advertised in Damascus. 5 star hotel, stunning course. Then I realised Damascus was the capital of Syria. No thanks.
