Ukraine
The US and UK say Russia’s order to deploy troops to eastern Ukraine amounts to the ‘beginning of an invasion’. It isn’t yet clear if Russian troops have actually entered the region, though it is assumed they have, if they weren’t already there. Russian President Vladimir Putin says the ‘demilitarisation’ of Ukraine is the only solution to the ongoing crisis. American President Joe Biden is due to speak from the White House at around 6pm our time.
