Russian President Vladimir Putin is trying to convince the world—especially his own people—that Russian controlled territory in Ukraine is now part of Russia. Russia held referendums in Russian-controlled regions of Ukraine to form a legal basis for its invasion, and claim that the people in these regions want to be part of Russia. In this episode of America Uncovered, we look at how Putin is scaring even his allies with his annexation plans, why many regard these referendums as shams, and how the US and other international actors are reacting.
