*Dow futures drop more than 400 points as tensions between Russia and Ukraine brew*
*Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average were down by 454 points, or 1.3%. S&P 500 futures slid 1.7%, and Nasdaq 100 futures were off by 2.4%.*
*Russian President Vladimir Putin said Monday that he would recognize the independence of two breakaway regions in Ukraine, potentially undercutting peace talks with President Joe Biden. That announcement was followed by news that Biden was set to order sanctions on separatist regions of Ukraine, with the European Union vowing to take additional measures.*
*Putin later ordered forces into the two breakaway regions.*
*The news came after the White House said Sunday that Biden has accepted “in principle” to meet with Putin in yet another effort to deescalate the Russia-Ukraine situation via diplomacy. White House press secretary Jen Psaki said the summit between the two leaders would occur after a meeting between Secretary of State Antony Blinken and his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov.*
Stocks and index futures slumped as the standoff over Ukraine appeared to worsen. Russian stocks sank the most since the 2008 global financial crisis, and the ruble weakened a third straight day.
Futures on the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 retreated as the U.S. stock market was shut for a holiday. The Stoxx Europe 600 index fell to the lowest level since October. *The MOEX Russia Index plunged as much as 14%.*
After those markets closed for the day, Euro Stoxx 50 futures extended its decline to more than 4% after Russian President Vladimir Putin recognized the self-proclaimed separatist republics that his country backs in eastern Ukraine. That intensified tension with the West as the U.S. warns Moscow plans an invasion of its neighbor.
The rouble tanked on Monday, slipping past 80 against the dollar, while stocks plunged to their lowest in over a year as Russian President Vladimir Putin called for the immediate recognition of two breakaway regions in eastern Ukraine.
During his hour-long televised remarks, Putin aired historical grievances against NATO and the U.S. and accused Western governments of hostile activities that threaten Russian security. Putin also made the case for involvement in the region to the Russian people.
“I deem it necessary to make a decision that should have been made a long time ago and to immediately recognize the independence and sovereignty of Donetsk People’s Republic and Luhansk People’s Republic,” Putin said.
Ahead of Putin’s address, the Kremlin said that the Russian president discussed his decision with French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. Both leaders expressed their disappointment with Putin’s decision but indicated their readiness to continue diplomatic talks, the Kremlin added.
