On this day in 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine, escalating their ongoing conflict in a move that sent shockwaves around the world.
12 months on, the war continues, with Ukraine still managing to mount a stubborn defence against relentless Russian assaults.
Kiwi war journalist Tom Mutch has been reporting on Russia’s incursion into Ukraine since fighting first broke out. After a stint back home, he’s now back in Europe to continue telling the stories of those on the frontlines.
Today, Tom Mutch tell Damien where things stand and whether either side shows any inclination of giving up.
