Vladimir Putin Admits Russian Forces Helped Crimea Separatists

President Vladimir Putin admitted Thursday that Russian troops had been active in supporting separatist forces in Crimea.

Although Russia's Black Sea fleet had been stationed on the peninsula for decades, Putin's comments were the first confirmation that Moscow's troops had backed up the so-called "self-defense forces" in the region.

"The dangers to the Russian-speaking population in Crimea were very real," Putin said in a televised call-in broadcast nationwide. "We had never planned any annexations, we only took a decision to support Crimeans when they asked us to."
