Vladimir Putin and his Russian forces appear to have taken their illegal invasion of Ukraine in a different direction - but they have yet to use what some are calling the 'doomsday' device at their disposal.
Putin ordered the 'special military operation' to begin at the end of February, and has shelled cities across Ukraine since that point.
However, in recent days we've seen soldiers retreat from the likes of Kyiv and Lviv, with a sharper focus now being put on the Donbas region in the eastern portion of the country.
