Russia has issued a powerful ultimatum to Ukrainians living within its borders. President Vladimir Putin has ordered that all Ukrainians must legalize their immigration status or leave Russia by September 10. The order mainly targets passport holders from occupied regions like Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, and Crimea — territories Russia claims as its own.  Ukraine and its allies have slammed this move as illegal, calling it a direct violation of sovereignty. Meanwhile, ceasefire talks between Russia and Ukraine are gaining momentum, with Donald Trump stepping in and meeting with both Putin and Zelenskyy. Could this be the turning point in the ongoing war? WooGlobe Ref : WGA723566 For licensing and to use this video, please email licensing@wooglobe.com
