At least 596 civilians have died in the war, including 43 children, and an additional 1,067 civilians have been injured, according to the U.N.

Russia’s latest attack of a Ukraine military base near the Polish border, is not seen as a merely a geographic expansion of the Russian invasion, but also a shift of tactics in a war many already worried might escalate into a larger European conflict.

Despite announcing new sanctions, Britain, is still being considered too hesitant to target London’s oligarchs.

The situation is fast moving on the ground and we will aim to bring the latest and provide global context and analysis.
