Kyiv, Feb 23 (AFP\/APP): Ukraine’s parliament imposed a national state of emergency on Wednesday aimed at helping to forge a response to the threat of a Russian invasion.<\/p>\n

The measure was overwhelmingly approved on the same day that Moscow began to evacuate its Kyiv embassy and Washington stepped up its warnings about the chances of an all-out Russian attack.<\/p>\n

“The situation is difficult but remains completely under our control,” Ukraine’s security and defence council secretary Oleksiy Danilov told lawmakers ahead of the vote.<\/p>\n

The state of emergency allows Ukraine’s regional governments to adopt heightened security measures that range from tighter ID and vehicle checks to more stringent policing.<\/p>\n

They apply to all parts of Ukraine except for two Russian-backed eastern separatist regions where a deadly insurgency has killed more than 14,000 people in the past two years.<\/p>\n

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s recognition of the eastern provinces’ independence on Monday sharply ramped up fears of an imminent war.<\/p>\n

Putin has signed decrees allowing the deployment of Russian “peacekeeping” forces into rebel territories to back up the independence claims.<\/p>\n

The Russian leader said on Tuesday that his decision to send in the troops will “depend on the situation on the ground”.<\/p>\n

But Russian state television has been filled with allegations from rebel leaders in the past few days accusing Ukrainian soldiers of launching deadly and unprovoked attacks against civilians.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
