Two years have passed since Russia invaded Ukraine, but there is still no end in sight for the conflict. 

As Ukraine desperately seeks funding and support from its global allies, the war continues in an effective stalemate, with both sides struggling to make ground.  

However, could the suspicious death of incarcerated Russian opposition leader, Alexei, Navalny spur Western forces to take more of a stand against Vladimir Putin? 

For much of the last two years, Kiwi journalist Tom Mutch has been following the conflict on the ground in Ukraine. He joins The Front Page today from Kyiv for the latest on this war.
