Crimea was officially absorbed into Russia on March 21 of last year — after a referendum held five days before. But, in an upcoming documentary for Russian TV, President Vladimir Putin says he ordered the takeover almost a month earlier. It was after a meeting discussing the ouster of former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych. Greg White is Moscow Bureau Chief for the Wall Street Journal.
