The Russian ambassador to the UN, Vitaly Churkin, argued that the deployment of troops in Crimea was a "peace mission" requested by the regional leadership to protect Russian citizens following the "illegal" removal of President Yanukovych. The legal distinction made was that force was being used "on the territory of Ukraine" rather than "against Ukraine." The hosts mock the difficulty of diplomatic translations in these high-stakes debates.
