War runs like a faultline through this week’s headlines. Ukraine is on the brink of “disaster” as Russian troops mass in Crimea. Ceasefire in the Gulf brings a swift military campaign to a close.

Yet, there are flickers of détente too, as Soviet proposals to scrap intermediate nuclear missiles in Europe revive hopes of a Cold War breakthrough. All and more are charted across these front pages of The Independent.
