INTERNATIONAL: After loquacious and motormouth talks around the globe NATO has broken its silence over the ongoing Russian-Ukraine conflict. NATO will now deploy significant extra troops to countries in eastern Europe that are part of the alliance, but UK ministers warned there would be no forces going to Ukraine itself to avoid an “existential” war between Russia and the west. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian government themselves was seen on the battleground, banning all the males from age 18-60 from leaving the country in order to protect their country. The baffling question remains will the west intervene and intercept Russia in its gruesome invasion of Ukraine?
