Ukraine-Russia conflict: Are you unbeatable on Vladimir Putin?

Hello everyone!

Welcome to this new live from the editorial staff of "20 Minutes", mobilized 24 hours a day with the crisis between Russia and Ukraine, with a major conflict that seems more inevitable than ever.

On Wednesday evening, the separatist leaders asked for military aid from Moscow to "help repel the aggression of the Ukrainian armed forces", an initiative which, according to Washington, risks serving as a pretext for Vladimir Putin to launch an invasion.

In a fervent plea, the Ukrainian president addressed Russian female soldiers and civil society, but he claimed that Putin had given the green light to the attack and refused to answer his phone call.
