Russian President Says Region Is Vital to Russia's Security
MOSCOW—Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a treaty on Tuesday to annex the breakaway Ukrainian region of Crimea, defying Western sanctions against senior officials and denunciations of the move as a violation of international law.
In a speech to both houses of parliament, as well as top government and civic officials, Mr. Putin said Crimea and its port city of Sevastopol, home of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, are vital to Russia's security. He defended the move as supported by the majority of residents of Crimea as expressed in Sunday's referendum and by the "absolute majority" of Russians. He dismissed Crimea's status as part of Ukraine as "a shocking historical injustice."
