The UK is taking part in a national one minute silence today to mark the one year anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
On February 24, 2022, Vladamir Putin launched a full-scale invasion in the biggest escalation of the Russia-Ukrainian war, which began in 2014. Since then, the conflict continues to result in countless deaths, destroyed villages and displaced refugees.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak will lead the nation in the moment of solidarity from Downing street on Friday at 11 am. The government is urging all British organisations and individuals to take part, which can be done so anywhere in private or in the company of others.
