MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin has asked the country's parliament to authorize the deployment of Russian troops abroad, the Kremlin said in a statement on Wednesday.

The last time the Russian parliament granted Putin the right to deploy troops abroad, a requirement under Russian law, Moscow seized Crimea, wresting it away from Ukraine in 2014.
