Conflict between Russia and Ukraine
The Ukraine war refers to the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which began on February 24, 2022, when Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. However, tensions between the two countries date back to 2014, when Russia annexed Crimea and supported separatist movements in eastern Ukraine including Donetsk and Luhansk.
Tough Talks Ahead on Ukraine Peace Deal
- Monday, 03 March 2025
UK Defence Minister Luke Pollard said that agreeing a deal to end the war in Ukraine will involve "difficult diplomatic conversations" with allies, and warned that a temporary pause in fighting could give Russia time to regroup. He also emphasized the need for US security guarantees to deter Russian attacks. The UK and France are working on a plan to stop the fighting, which would then be discussed with the United States, while President Macron has floated the idea of a month-long truce between Russia and Ukraine, but Pollard said this is "not a plan we currently recognise".
