The United States announced sanctions against Russia.
These sanctions include visa bans for Russian officials as well as an executive order further sanctioning "those who are most directly involved in destabilizing Ukraine."
Basically, people sanctioned are not specifically named. So, we'll see Russia's response to that.
Meanwhile, Crimea — which of course is the place where all this stuff is happening — their Parliament just asked to join Russia, effectively seceding from Ukraine!
And that's with 78 of the 100 deputies voting to join Russia.
They asked Vladimir Putin to accept the province into Russia, after a referendum.
And, experts say that this move, which is a surprise one, does seem to legalize Russia's effective seizure of Crimea, and essentially, throw a big wrench into the new government that Ukraine is trying to have.
Proportionally, and as expected, the government in Ukraine, and the European Union, are saying that this is unconstitutional. But, I don't know if that's really going to stop anything from happening.
Additionally, I have a report from Ukraine where they said that Russia sank their own ship: essentially a junked vessel they sank to create an obstacle so that Ukrainian Navy ships can't get out. Lol, slow but sure escalation.
Taking sides
You have the United States and the European Union backing the now interim government of Ukraine. China backs Russia, so we'll see what happens next.
Conclusively, do you think we're headed for another World War? Or would this just be an isolated incident, and it's more of a...Cold War? I'd love to know your thoughts, and why, in the comments down below. Maybe while you're at it, hit the share button.
