Hopes fade over nuclear talks

11 September 2022

Hopes for the latest attempt to restore the 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and Western powers appear to be fading. The UK, France and Germany have questioned Iran’s commitment to the talks, claiming that its demands were preventing talks from resuming in the Austrian capital, Vienna. Meanwhile, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IEAE) said that Iran’s nuclear stockpiles were increasing, and it could not verify whether Tehran’s nuclear programme was exclusively for civilian purposes.

Ukraine Situation Report | 14 April 2023

Several major developments have emerged from the Russia-Ukraine conflict in recent days, including most notably the leak of unverified US intelligence relating to the war, as well as claimed footage of Russian soldiers beheading a Ukrainian prisoner of war (PoW). Meanwhile, on the ground, fierce fighting in and around the embattled city of Bakhmut continues and Russian troops have been digging in defensive positions in anticipation of an expected Ukrainian counteroffensive in the south of occupied Ukraine.

The conflict in Ukraine has continued to grind on, with fighting ramping up as Ukraine purportedly prepares a new offensive in response to Russian pushes to take more territory along the eastern frontline – where the embattled city of Bakhmut, in Donetsk, has seen fighting further intensify. Russian strikes have increased in recent weeks, targeting cities further inland, including parts of the Zaporizhzhia and Kyiv regions, which both reported major strikes in the last week. Meanwhile, several major international developments have led to Russian rhetoric growing increasingly inflammatory again – an occurrence which has previously been a precursor to the Kremlin justifying new military measures.

Ukraine Situation Report | 10 March 2023

A barrage of Russian strikes have targeted much of Ukraine in recent days, leading to power cuts as critical infrastructure has been severely impacted. Multiple casualties have also been reported, with at least nine deaths confirmed across Ukraine on Thursday, as attacks struck cities from Kharkiv in the north, to Odesa in the south, and Zhytomyr in the west. Attacks on the capital Kyiv have also been reported and Ukrainian officials claim that within a single 24-hour period, a total of 81 missiles were fired – marking the biggest day of air strikes launched by Russian forces since late January, when 11 fatalities were reported amid strikes in several regions.

Ukraine Situation Report | 24 February 2023

One year on from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the conflict has already become the worst in Europe since World War Two. To mark the anniversary, ceremonies have been taking place throughout towns and cities in Ukraine – particularly areas where Russian forces have been accused of war crimes, including Bucha. Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces are preparing to repel an anticipated surge in Russian attacks. Moscow has been expected to coincide the timing of its predicted new Spring offensive with the first anniversary, which comes a day after Russia observed its Defender of the Fatherland Day on 23 February – a holiday celebrating the country’s armed forces.

Ukraine Situation Report | 3 February 2023

News of Russia’s anticipated Spring offensive has dominated news on the war in Ukraine in recent weeks, as has Germany’s decision to send much-needed tanks to Ukraine as Western allies bolster military aid for Kyiv, despite warnings from Moscow that doing so risks escalating the conflict. Berlin is set to send 14 Leopard 2 tanks and 88 Leopard 1 tanks to Ukraine and has cleared the way for other countries, such as Poland, to also send their German-manufactured tanks. Meanwhile, the US also confirmed it will send 30 of its most high-tech tanks, the M1 Abrams, following in the footsteps of the UK, which also committed 14 Challenger 2 tanks. All three tanks – the Leopard 2, the M1 Abrams, and the Challenger 2 – are vastly more powerful than the Soviet-era T-72s forming the bulk of the Ukrainian and Russian tank forces.
