Bath Music student when interviewed, said "I try to avoid news on Russia, as it's easy to get caught up in the negativity, and it's one of those political situations where it doesn't look like anyone is actually going to win, and it will just go on for ages with no resolution.  I don't think much will happen. Ukraine will just keep putting sanctions on Russia.  Most countries rely on Russia for fuel, so there are ways to get them where it hurts."

After NATO refused to join the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, individual EU countries are doing their bit to aid the Ukrainian forces in the desperate defence of their country and capital city, Kyiv. Whilst the UK is issuing harsh economic sanctions upon Russia and Putin, Germany has begun a more direct approach, by supplying anti-tank weapons and several surface-to-air missiles to the Ukrainian armed forces. In a statement by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, she exclaimed that “the Russian invasion of Ukraine marks a turning point, it threatens our entire post-war order. In this situation, it is our duty to do our utmost to support Ukraine in defending itself against Vladimir Putin’s invading army. Germany stands closely by Ukraine’s side.”

"The full extent of casualties in Ukraine is very hard to confirm. The country's human rights commissioner says 210 civilians have been killed.

The Ukrainian health ministry has said 352 civilians, including 14 children, have died so far.

The United Nations has recorded 64 confirmed civilian deaths and many more wounded, and says it expects the true number to be much higher.

Military deaths are also extremely hard to verify. The UN said by Saturday at least 134 Ukrainian military had been killed.

Russia censors details of its casualties, and has not released figures. Its defence ministry conceded on Sunday that "there have been killed and wounded among the Russian military" - but claimed the losses were "several times less than the number of exterminated nationalists".

Ukraine claims 4,300 Russian servicemen have so far died."

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Speaking at a news conference, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said the move marked a "watershed moment".

The EU is also closing its airspace to Russian planes and banning Russian state media outlets.

"We are shutting down EU airspace for Russian-owned, Russian-registered or Russian-controlled aircraft," Ms von der Leyen said.

All such planes, including the private jets of oligarchs, will now be unable to land in, take off from or fly over any EU nation.

Russian planes have also been banned from UK airspace.

The EU ban on state-owned news outlets will affect news agency Sputnik and the TV network Russia Today, widely seen as a mouthpiece for the Kremlin. "We are developing tools to ban their toxic and harmful disinformation in Europe," Ms von der Leyen said.

EU countries will also fast-track Ukrainian refugees and set aside the usual bureaucracy.

The move was announced by the German interior minister, who said member states had agreed unanimously to admit refugees for up to three years without asking them to apply for asylum first.

Tens of thousands of Ukrainians have been displaced by the Russian attack on their country and many are seeking refuge in the EU.

Vladimir Putin has ordered Russia's military to put its deterrence forces, which include nuclear weapons, on "special alert".

He told defence chiefs it was because of "aggressive statements" by the West, amid widespread condemnation of his invasion of Ukraine.

The announcement does not mean Russia intends to use the weapons.

The US immediately condemned his decision, calling it an "unacceptable escalation".

Last week, Mr Putin had warned that "whoever tries to hinder us" in Ukraine would see consequences "you have never seen in your history".

Those words were widely interpreted as signalling a threat to use nuclear weapons if the West stood in his way.

Ukrainian forces say they have repelled an attack on the country's second city, Kharkiv, after fierce clashes with Russian forces.

Regional governor Oleh Synehubov said the city was now rid of Russian troops after street-to-street fighting. The BBC has not corroborated this, and the situation on the ground remains tense.

Thousands spent the night in basements and shelters, with heavy shelling described by one resident as "something like Star Wars above your head".

"The wave of the blast was so strong that my ears popped," another said.

Daria Samoilyk, who with others has been forced to hide in the basement of her apartment building, told the BBC she had barely slept for three days.

"It's maximum one, two hours a night. There's shooting all day long and all night long, without any pauses."

She said the fighting had left parts of the city badly damaged.

"I have lots of friends who lost their homes yesterday.

"I'm not sure if I feel safe, because a missile can fall anywhere and destroy any building. It's like roulette."

Germany ups defence spending

The war in Ukraine has prompted Germany to pledge a massive hike in defence spending, in a major change in policy.

During an emergency parliamentary session on Ukraine on Sunday, Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced an additional $113bn (£84bn) for the German army.

There was an audible ripple of shock in parliament. Some MPs clapped, some booed, others looked stunned.

Undeterred, Mr Scholz went on to announce drastic measures that would have been unthinkable a week ago, including a constitutional commitment to Nato's military spending target of 2% of GDP - and he confirmed that Germany would be sending weapons directly to Ukraine.

Within a few days, Vladimir Putin has managed to do what Nato allies have spent years trying to achieve: a massive increase of military spending in Germany.

The full extent of casualties in Ukraine is very hard to confirm. The country's human rights commissioner says 210 civilians have been killed.

The Ukrainian health ministry has said 352 civilians, including 14 children, have died so far.

The United Nations has recorded 64 confirmed civilian deaths and many more wounded, and says it expects the true number to be much higher.

Military deaths are also extremely hard to verify. The UN said by Saturday at least 134 Ukrainian military had been killed.

Russia censors details of its casualties, and has not released figures. Its defence ministry conceded on Sunday that "there have been killed and wounded among the Russian military" - but claimed the losses were "several times less than the number of exterminated nationalists".

Ukraine claims 4,300 Russian servicemen have so far died.

Sanctions hit Russia's central bank

Russia's central bank has issued an appeal for calm amid fears that new financial sanctions could spark a run on its banks.

It said it "has the necessary resources and tools to maintain financial stability and ensure the operational continuity of the financial sector".

The EU, the US, the UK and Canada have announced that the assets of Russia's central bank will be frozen.

Some Russian banks will also be excluded from the Swift payment system.

A run on Russian banks would see too many people trying to withdraw money. On Friday, Russia's central bank was forced to increase the amount of money it supplies to ATMs after demand for cash reached the highest level since March 2020.

"First, Russian forces would have to seize far larger swathes of territory of Europe’s second-largest country, including the capital Kyiv, a city of nearly three million people known to be resolutely pro-European and pro-Nato.

There would be a ferocious counter-attack, and a Ukrainian insurgency would quickly rise. Support would pour in from many directions, many sources, and of many kinds."
