Putin annexes Ukraine regions in Europe’s biggest land grab since WW2 – BBC News
President Putin has announced the annexation of four regions of Ukraine that are controlled by Russian forces.
It’s the biggest seizure of territory in Europe since the Second World War.
The Russian leader’s declaration follows staged referendums in Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Luhansk and Donetsk, which were denounced as sham by the international community.
President Putin warned the West he would protect the territory with all means at his disposal.
In response Ukraine said its application to join the NATO western alliance should be accelerated.
The United States announced new sanctions against Russia.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

Biggest land grab since WW II ?
Well, after WW II the Indian subcontinent was still under British rule. A territory 40 times of what Russia controls of the Ukraine today.
Outrage displayed by the British Broadcasting Corporation over land grabs is therefore not really convincing.

President Biden should be put in a home for old people, that's where he belongs. As for Vladimir Putin, he's still going strong and stronger than ever. Victory and glory will be yours Mr Vladimir Putin. Do whatever you have to do, nuclear or not , destroy the enemies and NATO weapons and supplies. Keep up the good work. Victory will definitely be yours Vladimir Putin. ⚡⚡⚡👍

Annexation? Russia is always dealing with border disputes as in Ukraine now which began with Washington and London weapons supply since 2014 and terrorist strikes killing 14000 Ukranians even before Russia entered to demilitarize our 8 year war incitement efforts. In 1925, Turkmenistan became a constituent republic of the Soviet Union, so Afghanistan was effectively on the USSR border. Compare that to the annex attempts by our USA every year – we are bombing Lybia, Iraq, Syria, Serbia, North Korea (1953), Vietnam. Ukraine, Japan (even before we dropped nuclear bombs, Japan were at the tail end of a peace negotiation organized by Russia, so our bombing there was completely useless and just murderous) and many other places. These are all far from our borders. The location of war alone is a good proxy for who the aggressor is.

Its not complicated physics…its not complex advance mathematics…its not mighty plans of ego on anyone's part……Its one reason for this terrible crisis. Bigoted landlords in the Gov of Ukraine just like the south in USA against black people . The solution? New Landlord has taken over. No human who respects himself would tolerate living under a landlords that hate them . Period. Sad But so.

Shame shame… HELP US… The corrupt Supreme Court of Brazil is going to the United States of America and other countries to lie about freedom, because they don't respect our constitution or our laws, they are criminal communist dictators in disguise to take power. They use the public machine, the media and social networks to silence the people and arrest all those who dare to speak the truth about the immense corrupt system to which Brazil's supreme court belongs. A communist, corrupt and dictator government is installing itself in Brazil through elections that are completely and blatantly rigged in various ways. EVERYTHING IS PROVEN, BUT THE BRAZILIAN PEOPLE HAVE NO ONE TO RETURN TO, BECAUSE THE CORRUPT SYSTEM HAS EQUIPPED ALL INSTITUTIONS IN THE COUNTRY, INCLUDING MANY HIGH PATENT MILITARY TO DO NOTHING AGAINST ALL THIS! HELP US

Does anyone there even want to be part of Russia.
And they bombed those civilians in those areas. Probably not who you want in your nation to start with…
And Hiroshima and Nagasaki sickened even America… And was retaliation for Pearl Harbor and flying planes into ships. Not cause of lies from our own people in the field and the US didn't send in troops that were told oh this is an exercise as they had fake helmets and body armor.
United States didn't even use nukes on insurgents out in the middle of nowhere either…
Two grotesque acts in history that were a response to actually being attacked aren't a good excuse. Excuses are for the weak..
@Blazeww
January 2, 2024 at 2:02 am
I can't believe they ruin thier own country with nuclear testing in the past, nuclear waste, industrial waste and illegally force regions to be part of them like the United States doesn't even do.
So, worse than the US and other nations already and they didn't even have sky scrapers attacked. Did invade on lies tho just like our stupid leaders did….
