By eTN Managing Editor – Russian migration authorities report a huge spike in requests coming from Ukrainians to seek asylum in Russia, as some 143,000 people filed documents in just two weeks. Officials vow to process the requests in shortest possible time.

Vladimir Putin makes his move to overtake the Ukraine Ports with swarms of helicopters! Is World War 3 here? The forgotten treaty which could drag the US and UK into a war with Russia if Putin’s troops intervene in the Ukraine.
BBC reports “Russia’s upper house of parliament has approved President Putin’s request for Russian forces to be used in Ukraine. He had asked that Russian forces be used “until the normalization of the political situation in the country”.
According to Daily Mail “A treaty signed in 1994 by the US and Britain could pull both countries into a war to protect Ukraine if President Putin’s troops cross into the country.
