If You Don’t Know! News & Politics Roundup: Russia Denies “Acting Aggressively” Towards Ukraine…AND MORE!

A day after Russian President Vladimir Putin gave the green light for Russian troops to invade Ukrainian territory, the country is rejecting accusations that they have acted aggressively towards their neighbor. The country is urging Western critics to put aside ”geopolitical calculations'' in Favor'' of the interests of the people in the former Soviet Republic. While Moscow defended Putin’s use of military force to protect its citizens in the Crimean Peninsula, G8 partners and one senior U.S. official are demanding that they withdraw. “I repeat: This is a matter of defending our citizens and our compatriots, of defending the most important human right — the right to life,” Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said at a U.N. human rights meeting in Geneva, Switzerland.
