MOSCOW SPOOKS WEST: Russia EXPANDS Military Power, To Send Troops Abroad

Russia’s State Duma has passed a controversial new bill expanding President Vladimir Putin’s authority to deploy Russian troops abroad under the justification of protecting Russian citizens facing arrest, detention, or prosecution by foreign courts. The legislation has sparked alarm across Europe and Ukraine, where officials warn Moscow is institutionalizing military intervention beyond its borders using rhetoric similar to that employed before the annexation of Crimea in 2014 and the invasion of Ukraine in 2022. NATO allies and European intelligence agencies have increasingly described Russia as a direct long-term security threat amid fears of further escalation in the Baltic region and Eastern Europe. #russia, #putin, #ukrainewar, #nato, #russiaukrainewar, #kremlin, #europe, #breakingnews, #worldnews, #vladimirputin, #russianparliament, #military, #geopolitics, #ukraine, #baltics, #moscow, #russianarmy, #europeanunion, #warnews, #stateduma Stay connected with Times Now World for real-time global news and analysis: 🌐 Read full coverage: https://www.timesnownews.com/world 📱 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/timesnow.world 🐦 Follow us on X: https://x.com/TimesNow_World #timesnowworld #worldnews #breakingnews
