The rhetoric from moscow remains defiant, with president putin saying the security of russia and its citizens is "non—negotiable". and in the uk, borisjohnson is warning moscow there would be "even more" sanctions if its military operations along the border with ukraine escalate across the frontier. it was a dramatic turn of events when president putin said hed recognise two areas in eastern ukraine as independent — the so—called peoples republics of donetsk and luhansk. he also said hed s...
