This question has become a common question in front of the Indian Ministry of External Affairs and diplomatic experts. However, strategic experts say that the Russian army has entered the Ukrainian capital Kiev. It is rapidly approaching a turning point. However, according to French President Emmanuel Macron, this war will go on for a long time and one should be prepared for the repercussions it creates.
The Indian diplomat who returned from Varsava told that the situation in Kiev is worrying. There is a problem of electricity and water supply. The shortage of food items is increasing. Now the situation is getting more complicated. Russia has also closed airspace to Bulgaria, Poland and the Czech Republic.
Ukraine’s President Zelensky is currently fighting alone
Russia’s military and firepower is 8-10 times more than that of Ukraine. About two lakh soldiers of Russia are engaged in defeating Ukraine’s spirits. For this, Russia has put a tremendous siege of Ukraine through the Air Force, Navy in the Black Sea. Entire airspace is surrounded. In this fight, European countries and America and its led NATO organization are unable to decide to give military help to Ukraine.
Ukraine’s President Zelensky himself says that he and his country are fighting Russia’s aggression alone with the help of allies. During this curfew has been tightened in Kiev. Indian diplomats also say that it is becoming increasingly difficult to evacuate Indian students from Ukraine. India is considering starting an Air Force operation to evacuate its students.
What are the further threats from economic sanctions?
The most effective weapon for America and its dominant NATO organization countries and Europe to teach Russia a lesson right now is to impose economic sanctions. As the date is progressing, America has started focusing on creating an atmosphere against Russia and pressuring for support on all the countries of the world. It is understood that soon India may also have to face US slap for any kind of trade, defense deal, import-export etc. with Russia.
Countries like China can also come under its JD. At present, all countries including America, Britain are tightening economic sanctions against Russia. Britain has imposed sanctions on the assets of President Putin and Foreign Minister Lavrov. The US has also restricted Putin’s travel to his country. Germany has postponed the Nord Stream-2 gas project. Britain has also announced the confiscation of the operations of five Russian banks and the assets of three Russian industrialists close to Putin. All countries, including Romania, Poland, are holding a review meeting to brainstorm on the latest situation.
What will be the effect of these economic sanctions?
Right now Russian President Putin is not taking the announcement of any kind of sanctions very seriously. Although Indian experts say that after entering Ukraine, where Russia has shown its strength, the situation is also getting complicated. The price of natural gas in Europe is increasing manifold. The price of crude oil in the international market is expected to exceed $125 per barrel. There is a possibility of major damage to the economy in Europe. It is said that after some time it will also be seen having a bad effect on Russia. Overall, the situation is slowly getting complicated.
Vipul Das, an international economic watchdog, says economic sanctions on Russia and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine will not only hurt Moscow. The whole world will come under its JD. This will put a huge economic burden on Europe. The price of crude oil and gas will increase, along with it there will be a significant increase in general inflation. A country like India will also have to face its ill effects.
Why America, Britain, France, Germany are not sending army? How long will Ukraine last?
Former military officer Major General SK Sinha says that sending troops to the side of Ukraine, US, UK, France or any country means to feast on the third world war. That’s why NATO organizations are not willing to take this risk. These countries expected that the President of Russia would withdraw the army from Ukraine to the barracks, fearing other action including economic sanctions. but that did not happen. General Sinha said that Russia’s planning is very well-planned and good.
Russia has surrounded Ukraine from all sides. Kiev is his target. To reach Kiev, Russian military forces have chosen a corridor-like route from their border to Kiev. He entered directly within 200 km. Prior to this, by cyberwar, he made inroads into the communication system of Kiev. Instead of moving to Kiev through all the cities of Ukraine, Russian soldiers are reaching there directly. The main reason for the success of the planning is that Moscow has taken control of all the land, air and sea routes leading to Ukraine. Therefore, the chances of Ukraine putting up much resistance to save the capital, Kiev, are slim.
