Correct me if I am wrong, my information is from the news I have read and is not extensive.

1. Putin invaded Crimea. Sure, no violence, but you guys put thousands of Russian troops there, this is called invasion. True right?

2. Putin is putting unrest in Eastern Ukraine?

1. Russian military has been there since the 1770s, and has been put there by Suvorov, and never left the peninsula since then, not even during Nazi occupation, it has all legal rights to be there even now. Sure at certain point on a d-day some armed groups has moved to the places they have no legal right to be, but not without help of local authorities, police, military and milita who have been very cooperative and helped take control of the Crimea.

Nothing short of poetry :D

2. Well, if he does, there's no evidence to support the idea that Russia is involved in the conflict in any way. Diplomatic support, that's as much as I could word it.
