Russia promised on Tuesday (local time) to scale down military operations around Kyiv and northern Ukraine as a confidence-building step, in the most tangible sign yet of progress towards negotiating an end to the war.

Three soldiers are dealing with mental and physical scars more than a year after they were doused in fuel and burnt by a Molotov cocktail during a training exercise.

Relationship break-ups, strange looks from children, panic attacks and what one described as “pyrophobia” – a fear of hot things – plague them as a consequence of the New Zealand Defence Force failing to keep them safe.
