UNSC members blast Russia after Putin recognises breakaway regions

Several members of the United Nations Security Council have on Monday condemned Russia’s moves to escalate its crisis with Ukraine.
The UNSC held an emergency meeting after Russian President Vladimir Putin recognised two breakaway regions in eastern Ukraine and deployed Russian troops to them, for what he described as a peacekeeping operation, in defiance of international law.
