#Putin has taken repeated actions for the sole purpose of fatiguing #Ukraine into compliance with his measures. He has attempted to to dissolve the #RepresentativeHouses of Ukraine repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.

#Putin has obstructed the #AdministrationOfJustice "He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance." "He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the #CivilPower."

#Putin has combined with others to subject #Ukraine to a jurisdiction foreign to its constitution, and unacknowledged by its laws.

Putin has #quartered large bodies of armed troops among Ukraine civilians. He has proteced those troops by #mockTrial from punishment for Murders which they commited on the #InhabitantsOfUkraine .

Putin has tried to abolish the #FreeSystemOfLaws in a neighboring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into #Kiev.

Putin has tried to take away Charters, abolishing the most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of Ukrainian Government. He has plundered their seas, ravaged their coasts, burnt their towns, and destroyed the lives of their people.

"He is at this time transporting large Armies of #ForeignMercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of #Cruelty&Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and unworthy the Head of a civilized nation."
