Two regions of eastern Ukraine have been recognized as independent states by Putin.
According to the US ambassador to the UN, Putin is trying to claim all territories from the historic Russian Empire.
She said that includes parts of Poland and Turkey.

The US ambassador to the United Nations said on Monday that Russian President Putin wants the world to return to a time when the Russian Empire ruled.

Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield made comments during a UN Security Council meeting. The West condemned Putin's announcement that Russia would recognize the two regions as independent states and ordered troops into them.

Thomas-Greenfield said that Russia's actions were an attack on Ukraine's sovereignty and a violation of international law.

Russian troops will be placed in these regions. He refers to them as peacekeepers. This is not true. She said that the move was clearly the basis for Russia's attempt to create a pretext for a further invasion of Ukraine.

Russia has a claim to all territories from the Russian Empire, which was before the Soviet Union, according to Putin.

All of Ukraine is included. It also includes the country of Finland. It also includes Georgia and Moldova. The countries that are included are: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan. There are three countries: Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Lithuania. There are two countries, Latvia and Estonia. She said it included parts of Poland and Turkey.

Putin wants the world to travel back in time to a time when empires ruled the world. The rest of the world is moving in a different direction. Thomas-Greenfield said that it is not 1919.

The security council meeting was called after a spokesman for the UN Secretary-General said he was concerned by Russia's actions in eastern Ukraine.

The White House said it was prepared to issue more severe economic measures in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The U.S. approved a new package of arms sales. The upgrade to the air-defense missile systems was included. Now comes China's response. Beijing said it was imposing sanctions on defense contractors. At least the third time the country has punished the firms, no details were given. After the latest deal undermined peace and stability in the region, China had to act. The island must accept Chinese sovereignty in order to be considered a separate province. Beijing has the ability to use force to achieve that goal. Over the past two years it has stepped up military and diplomatic pressure on the island. The U.S. does not sell arms to China, so the sanctions may be symbolic. Washington is legally bound to give Taiwan the means to self-defense, and its weapons sales always spark Chinese anger.
