Tensions continue to mount between Kiev and Moscow with more than 100,000 Russian troops stationed at the Ukraine border.
Diplomatic talks between world leaders to try and prevent the situation worsening continue daily.
Powers including the US, Nato and the European Union have warned Russia against any aggression, insisting that there will be retaliation if it attacks Ukraine. Russia denies any plans to invade but has called on the West to respect its concerns over security.
The Russia-Ukraine crisis is not new, but, right now the simmering conflict threatens to turn into Europe's worst war in generations if all sides cannot pull back from the brink?
