🚨 ARE WE ENTERING A NEW PHASE OF THE WAR?

Russia has intensified its missile campaign against Ukraine.

Ukraine continues to strike targets deep inside Russia.

Moscow has suspended several railway border crossings with NATO members.

Russia is also continuing to expand military infrastructure along parts of its western frontier.

None of these developments prove a wider conflict is imminent.

But together, they suggest Europe is entering one of the most dangerous periods since the war began.

The coming weeks will be critical.
