Putin annexes 15% of Ukrainian territory, largest European land grab since WWII: Putin's annexation of Ukrainian land is a violation of international law and a dangerous escalation in the conflict, threatening international peace and security.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has formally annexed 15% of Ukrainian territory, declaring it as Russian forever. This is the largest seizure of European land since World War II. Putin's actions are a continuation of the ongoing war in Ukraine and a clear violation of international law. In his speech, Putin defended his actions by criticizing the West for its past actions, including the use of nuclear weapons and suppression of freedom. However, this justification is disingenuous as it does not make Putin's actions right. The West has its flaws, but that does not give Putin the right to invade another country and annex its land. Putin's actions are a dangerous escalation in the conflict and a threat to international peace and security. The international community must condemn Putin's actions and work towards a peaceful resolution to the conflict in Ukraine.
