A large Russian convoy heads in the direction of the capital, Ukraine applies for EU membership, and Biden prepares for his first State of the Union address.

Will talks go ahead at the border? Will key cities remain under Ukrainian control? Will nuclear weapons be stored in Belarus?

Day three in Ukraine - a roundup of the latest headlines, viral content, and questions answered...

"We now have a war in Europe on a scale and of a type we thought belonged in history."

Those were the words yesterday of NATO Secretary General, Jens Stoltenberg.

After months of speculation, weeks of worries, and last-ditch efforts at diplomacy, Russia has begun its full-scale invasion of neighbouring Ukraine.

As one CNN headline read, "Kyiv has woken up to a new reality".

More sanctions, less diplomacy, and a critical few days ahead to see what Putin does next - as the clock ticks on, the situation appears all the more perilous.

Meanwhile, we wait to see just how severe Western sanctions will be in response.

Concerns over the Ukraine crisis have reached a boiling point. Is a summit - agreed "in principle" between Putin and Biden - actually going to go ahead, which "media sources" were the US referring to when it warned its citizens, and will Prime Minister Johnson's grim prediction be proven correct?

Germany accusing Russia of 'Cold War demands', storm Eunice making landfall across Ireland and the UK, and an ice skating coach's chilling reaction caught on camera.
