MOSCOW, March 9 (UPI) -- Russian President Vladimir Putin's methodology for annexing Crimea, nearly a year ago, is revealed in a Russian television documentary.
The state-run Rossiya-1 channel presented a short trailer for a documentary film Sunday, in which Putin ordered the annexation in an all-night meeting on February 22 and 23, 2014. Crimea was formally taken over from Ukraine and returned to Russia on Mar. 18, 2014, to global reproach and disapproval.
