In recent months, Ukrainian authorities and Western partners have drawn attention to Russia’s aggravation of the security situation in Donbas, the build-up of Russian forces along the border with Ukraine, the danger of a new Russian invasion and increased Russian disinformation. Concerns were heightened when the United States announced on February 11 that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine could happen “at any time.”
On February 21, Russian President Vladimir Putin recognized the “independence” of the so-called “LPR” and “DPR” in eastern Ukraine.
The decree provides for the introduction of Russian troops into the Donbass for “peacekeeping functions.”
The West calls on Moscow to withdraw troops from the Ukrainian border and threatens large-scale sanctions in the event of a possible invasion. However, after the decision of the Kremlin leader on February 21, Western countries began to impose additional restrictive measures against Russia.
In particular, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said that the German government was temporarily suspending the certification of the Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline to supply Russian gas to Germany amid Russia’s recognition of the so-called L / DPR as “independent.”
