On Wednesday, PM Morrison said that the attack on Ukraine has effectively started. This is unfair and unacceptable. Now Russia has made full preparations and will attack Ukraine with full force in the next 24 hours. He said that our country always stands against threats. He will unite in opposition to Russia with like-minded partners. Morrison said this while announcing the restrictions by his country on the citizens of Donetsk and Luhansk in addition to Russia.
Morrison said the Australian government would immediately begin imposing sanctions on Russians in response to Russia’s attack against Ukraine. PM Morrison said that we will also amend the Autonomous Sanctions Regulation of 2011 to extend the existing sanctions applicable to Crimea and Sevastopol in the regions of Donetsk and Luhansk. These two steps will connect us with our key partners, the US and the UK.
Russia sent 10 thousand soldiers to both independent regions
On the other hand, reports said that Russian President Putin has sent more than 10 thousand soldiers to help the separatists in both Ukrainian cities of Dontsk and Luhansk. At the same time, the Ukrainian Intelligence Department believes that five thousand soldiers have been sent to Dontsk and five thousand to Luhansk. Apart from this, more than 1500 soldiers have been sent to Horlivka.
Russian army entered Kharkiv
Russian troops have entered Ukraine’s Kharkiv city amid growing US-European sanctions and fears of land occupation. According to the Daily Mail, more than 100 military trucks and soldiers have reached the city of Kharkiv. Kharkiv is Ukraine’s second largest city and is closest to the border. According to the analysis of Western countries, Russian troops will first target this city.
Putin’s move raised fears of a major attack
Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered blood storage of medical supplies for soldiers stationed on the Ukrainian border. After this, US President Joe Biden has said that, if Putin is not preparing for a major attack, why did he need blood and medical supplies.
