Russia president ratifies friendship treaties with breakaway Ukrainian regions
Putin says step allows Russia to build military bases there, deploy troops, agree a joint defence posture and tighten economic integration
Russian President Vladimir Putin ratified friendship treaties with two Moscow-backed Ukrainian breakaway republics on Tuesday, the Kremlin said.
Russia has said the step allows it to build military bases there, deploy troops, agree a joint defence posture and tighten economic integration.
The move comes amid a crisis over a huge Russian military buildup near Ukraine that has fuelled fears of an invasion, which Moscow denies planning.
