really a legitimate country. he then went on to blame nato for its failures, to address a situation in the east of ukraine. he accused nato as his frequently accused. nate, in the past of expanding into all of those eastern european countries are that were released from the soviet union at the brett when the soviet union broke up. he blamed, ain't accused nato of a deliberately expanding into, into those areas. and he said that in east of ukraine, nato has failed to address the situation in don bass. this is where there's been a 7 year long, more than 70 along now. conflict with these russian separatists. and what vladimir putin has done is essentially ripped up the minks agreement. this is the 7 year long ceasefire between ed negotiated with ukraine and russia and with the french and the germans, that were supposed to find a solution to the situation in east and ukraine. and say in said, vladimir putin has said that it hasn't worked. that isn't working. i'm now going to

give a, recognise these 2 countries as independent states, straight after he finished his speech. he went on to sign that agreement, which included a friendship and cooperation agreement. which means that if the leaders of lou ganske and don't ask, need help from russia, they can call on it. it means russia could send in troops to push back ukraine from its own sovereign territory. where this night, people have been arrested at an anti war protest in the russian city of saint petersburg. his scuffles broke out when the police moved in to break up the demonstration and detain, one of the protest this on thursday, officers arrested more than 1700 people taking part in similar railings across russia. protest as have gathered in new york to denounce russia's invasion of ukraine, anti war demonstrations of being held in time square and close to the russian federations mission to the united nations. hundreds of people showed their support
