KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday announced a military operation in Ukraine, claiming it’s intended to protect civilians. In a televised address, Putin said the action comes in response to threats coming from Ukraine.
I replied to you saying that based on the available facts it looked like the repercussions for Russia invading Ukraine would be undesirable.
