In the past few days, tension has been increasing due to conflict between Ukraine and the Russian Federation which has led to the United States, the United Kingdom, and France increasing pressure on Russia to remove their troops from Crimea.
Wikinews interviewed specialists in Russian foreign policy and specialists in international law about the legality of Russia's actions and the consequences of any sanctions imposed by G7 nation economies.
Wikinews interviewed:
((Wikinews))  Are Russian troop deployments into Ukrainian territory a clear violation of sovereignty?
((WN))  Are we going to see a proxy war between the United States and Russia?
((WN))  In response to Russia's build-up of its forces in Crimea, Ukraine has ordered a full military mobilisation. To what extent can Ukrainian troops hold back and successfully fight Russian forces?
((WN))  Would penalties imposed on Russia by the 'Western nations' being the United States, UK and France have severe consequences for the Russian economy?
((WN))  There are reports that Russia could be ejected from the G8 group of developed economies. Would this be a major blow for Putin's domestic popularity?
((WN))  Is the Russian general public in full support of the deployment of their own troops into Ukraine, a separate sovereign nation?
