The threat of a Russian invasion of Ukraine continues to hang over the country with a war of words raging between Washington and Moscow.
The US president Joe Biden says there's every indication Russia will invade Ukraine in the next few days.
Russia has massed more than 150,000 troops on the border with Ukraine, although it denies planning an invasion, and accuses Western leaders of hysteria.
This week Russia said some of its units were returning to base, but Washington and NATO say in fact more troops are massing.
