22 February 2022 – President Putin’s recognition of Donetsk and Luhansk as independent regions was a major provocation against Ukraine and one that may be used as pretext for a major invasion in the coming days and weeks. In response President Biden signed an executive order prohibiting trade with the two regions in the Donbas area of Ukraine. The order states: “The United States will not hesitate to use its authorities totarget those supporting efforts to undermine Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. This authority provides the United States with the flexibility to impose similar restrictions on any other regions of Ukraine as appropriate.”
