The United States and its European allies are poised to announce harsh new sanctions against Russia on Tuesday after President Vladimir Putin formally recognised two breakaway regions in eastern Ukraine, escalating a security crisis on the continent.

The Ukrainian military said two soldiers were killed and 12 wounded in shelling by pro-Russian separatists in the east in the past 24 hours, the most casualties this year, as ceasefire violations increased.

The Prime Minister has called Russia's latest act against Ukrainian territory "deeply concerning", while the Foreign Affairs Minister has expressed concern it is a "calculated act" to create a "pretext for invasion".

Russian President Vladimir Putin was condemned globally on Tuesday morning after declaring two Ukrainian separatist states as "independent" and ordering troops to cross into the regions under the guise of 'peacekeeping'. There are reports of tanks and other military equipment being moved across the border.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern insists she was "absolutely not" responding to the Parliament protesters by outlining a plan to ease COVID-19 vaccine mandates.

In a speech from the Beehive on Monday, Ardern said COVID-19 restrictions like vaccine certificates and mandates will start to ease after the Omicron variant has peaked in roughly three to six weeks.
