Is Russia now led by someone who would contemplate using nuclear weapons without any great concern? Over Ukraine, Vladimir Putin has dropped some pretty big hints that he is prepared to cross that strategic Rubicon.

Just days before the invasion of Ukraine, Russia and its ally Belarus engaged in nuclear exercises. In announcing the invasion itself, Putin pointedly referred to Russia's standing as "one of the most powerful nuclear powers in the world". The Russian president seemed to reserve the nuclear option as a response to a "direct attack on our country".

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy urged the EU on Tuesday (local time) to "prove that you are with us" in Ukraine's war with Russia, a day after Kyiv officially asked to join the bloc.

European Union lawmakers, many wearing #standwithUkraine T-shirts bearing the Ukrainian flag, others with blue-and-yellow scarves or ribbons, gave Zelenskiy a standing ovation as he addressed the European Parliament via video link.

Opinion - New Zealand's official response to Russian aggression and violations of international law have so far been strong - but they could go further.

While no NATO-aligned country can - under any circumstances - put boots on the ground in Ukraine (which could lead to world war), New Zealand must do everything tangibly possible to oppose the Russian invasion.

United States officials are warning that Russian President Vladimir Putin may escalate the violence in Ukraine over frustrations of the military operation so far.

US officials have reportedly said Putin is expressing anger towards his inner circles over the state of the military campaign and the worldwide condemnation of his actions, which they say is unusual because Putin usually keeps his emotions in check.
