Ukrainians in New Zealand are very concerned about the escalation of tension between their home country and Russia, and say the New Zealand government should do more to help.

Tensions continue to rise, and more than 8,000 US troops have been put on high alert for deployment.

Russia has amassed 100,000 troops nearby, but continues to deny planning military action against Ukraine.
