Russia-Ukraine war

For weeks, Moscow massed over 150,000 troops on Ukraine's borders in a bid to pressurise Western nations to t allow Ukraine to join NATO. Ultimately, on February 24, Kremlin, on pretext of 'special military operation' and with an aim to 'demilitarise', ordered its armed forces to carry out a full-fledged invasion of Ukraine. Citing his reason as Kyiv's failure to establish 'talks' with Moscow, Putin directed Russian Army to launch heavy missile strikes and explosions across country. Ukraine has refused to surrender and continues to hold up resistance.

Meanwhile, delegations of both countries met for peace talks on Ukraine-Belarus border on Monday, February 28. At discussions, that lasted for over five hours, both sides found some common points on which common positions can be found, Sputnik reported. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's visor Mykhailo Podoliak said that a second meeting would be held in near future. Meanwhile, Kremlin has said that meeting between Putin and Zelenskyy is likely.
