Sturgeon Ukraine War 'Won't Affect Timing Of Referendum'

The Scottish National party leader and first minister also challenged the UK government to take a four nations approach to mitigating the cost of living crisis, just as happened during the pandemic.

Amid growing fears that the Russia-Ukraine conflict will continue into next year, Sturgeon said: "I've not changed my position on the timescale we won the mandate for in the election last year." She was speaking on board the SNP's canary yellow campaign bus after knocking on doors around Glasgow with candidates for this Thursday's council elections.

The party's local manifesto includes a reiteration of its 2021 Holyrood election commitment to hold a second independence referendum by the end of 2023.
