Russia faced western sanctions and bitter condemnation at the UN after Vladimir Putin ordered troops over the Ukrainian border into Moscow-controlled territories in the east of the country, which he had recognised hours earlier. With reports of Russian armoured columns advancing into Donetsk and Luhansk under the guise of “peacekeepers” in the Russian-backed enclaves, the US imposed some limited sanctions and warned more would come today. The US ambassador to the UN, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, has dismissed Vladimir’s Putin’s assertion that the troops heading into the Russian-controlled territories of Ukraine would take on a “peacekeeping” role. At a fiery emergency meeting of the security council in New York she said: “He calls them peacekeepers. This is nonsense. We know what they really are.” A spokesperson for the UN secretary general, António Guterres, said he “considers the decision of the Russian Federation to be a violation of the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine and inconsistent with the principles of the Charter of the United Nations”. The UK minister Sajid Javid said this morning it was clear an invasion had already begun. The US and UK believe that the Russian entry into the eastern tip of Ukraine is a precursor for a more sweeping invasion.

The only internationally recognized and legal "peacekeepers" are UN forces that have been approved by UN Resolution.

Make no mistake, the Russian military here is an invasion force.

Yep, yet Biden is treating this as a “minor incursion” - after pretending to walk that idea back.

 
A condemnation and four bucks will get you a cup of coffee these days.
 
Not all of the US:

"I went in yesterday and there was a television screen, and I said, 'This is genius,'" Trump recalled. "Putin declares a big portion of the Ukraine — of Ukraine -- Putin declares it as independent. Oh, that’s wonderful."
