普京宣布吞并乌克兰土地 基辅寻求加入北约

Russian President Vladimir Putin used a speech in Moscow on Friday to proclaim four Ukrainian regions were now part of the Russian Federation. Putin claimed the annexations were "the will of millions of people" despite reports of voter coercion and people being pressured at gunpoint. Ukraine's president countered with a surprise application to join the NATO military alliance.

俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔・普京周五在莫斯科发表讲话，宣布四个乌克兰地区现在是俄罗斯联邦的一部分。普京声称吞并是“数百万人的意愿”，尽管报道称选民受到胁迫以及人们在枪口下受到压力。乌克兰总统突然申请加入北约军事联盟以作为反击。
