The invasion of Ukraine by Russian troops today has been condemned by Tavistock Peace Action Group.

A spokesman for the anti-war group said: ’All of us are very concerned about the danger of this involving nuclear weapons. It is a very distubing situation.

’We are an anti-war movement, but we have obviously got some sort of war going on now. What are the Russian people being told? How will they react if it escalates? We are worried it will develop into a full-scale war.’

Russia launched a full-scale attack on Ukraine in the early hours of this morning.
