Social humour: World war-3 memes take over Internet after Putin sends troops into eastern Ukraine

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday recognised the independence of separatist regions in eastern Ukraine, a move that will severely ratchet up tensions with the West amid fears that his country would invade Ukraine at any moment and use skirmishes as a pretext for an attack.

A long-feared Russian invasion of Ukraine now appears to be imminent, if not already underway, with Putin ordering forces into separatist regions of eastern Ukraine.
In two official decrees, Putin instructed the defence ministry to assume "the function of peacekeeping" in the separatist-held regions, saying that independence for areas in east Ukraine also extends to territory now held by Ukrainian forces.

Fearing the possibility of invasion erupting into a full-blown war, netizens and memers expressed their worries using memes and one-liners.
