1. Putin orders "peacekeeping operation" in eastern #Ukraine's two breakaway regions.
2. Putin's agreement with 'Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics' assumes joint defence.
3. Biden issues executive order "that will prohibit new investment, trade, and financing by U.S. persons to, from, or in" the two Ukrainian regions under the control of Russian-backed separatists, Donetsk and Luhansk.
Only five minutes into game and already the Ruskies have scored.
