RUSSIAN INVASION OF UKRAINE

With so much attention focused on the Russian invasion of Ukraine, we place this on the front page of The Fiji Times’ edition for Tuesday, March 1.

Come to think about it, it’s also the start of another new month. Phew! How time flies!

At least two academics discuss the impact of the invasion on our nation. Even though we are supposedly far off the beaten track when it comes to the events happening in Ukraine, we are not altogether removed from it.

People are dying there. More are expected to be killed in this unfortunate turn of events. Turn to Pages 2 and 3 for a comprehensive coverage. There’s more in the international pages as well.

PROMOTIONS

  • We have two promotions running right now. We have something for Easter and there is a promotion for Mother’s Day. But you’ll have to get a copy for details on how to enter the promotions. The prizes are quite exciting though. Up to 10 lucky readers could win a holiday at two top-end resorts in these two different promotions, and another 10 readers could win vouchers worth $200, five in the Easter promotion and five for Mother’s Day! You’ll have to  be in though to win!
