Let us turn the tables for a minute.

Would Ukraine be justified and would Putin accept that Ukrainian troops land in Moscow on the pretext to protect the city's Ukrainian speaker's language rights?!

Somehow, I don't think so.

In the conversation Putin had with Obama, Putin raised the issue of Russian language rights, and Obama told him invasion is not the solution but observers sent to Ukraine could verify and corroborate concerns,

This is of course complete propaganda. Russian is spoken freely and there are schools and newspapers etc.

Do the millions of Ukrainians in Russia have such amenities?
