The United Nations Security Council held an emergency meeting at 9 p.m. EST after Russian President Vladimir Putin said that he now recognizes part of Ukraine as Russia and he will send in his troops to be peacekeepers.
The U.K. was quick to announce sanctions. They rebuked Russia along with Mexico, Ireland, Norway, Ghana, and others. But it was Kenya that took the remarks a step further.
"The territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine stands breached," said Ambassador Martin Kimani. "The Charter of the United Nations continues to wilt under the relentless assault. In one moment it is invoked in reverence by the very same countries who then turned their backs on it in pursuit of objectives diametrically opposed to peace and security. In the last two meetings and the buildup of forces in Ukraine, they urged diplomacy be given a chance. Our cry was not heated and more importantly, the charter's demand to settle the dispute by peaceful means in such a manner are not in danger has been profoundly undermined. Today, the threat or use of force has been affected. Kenya is gravely concerned by the announcement made by the Russian Federation to recognize the regions of Ukraine as independent states."
