Summary
The US may not have directly launched its forces in Ukraine against Russian attacks, but they have started working on a much further strategy. The United States has begun work on a second plan to keep President Volomidir Zelensky’s government in Ukraine afloat. Under this, in the event of Russian occupation of Ukraine, the US has made preparations to run the Zelensky government-in-exile from Poland.
On the 12th day after the invasion of Ukraine, Russian forces continued to bombard the north-western regions of Kyiv in an attempt to enter the capital. Fierce fighting continued in Bucha, Hostomel and Irpin. Despite the announcement of a ceasefire in Mariupol, the blasts continued. An eyewitness said, the houses here are engulfed in fire, which no one can extinguish. There are dead bodies scattered on the streets, there is no one to remove them.
In the city of Mariupol, both Russia and Ukraine accused each other of breaking the ceasefire. The 27-year-old IT developer Maxim, who was stranded here for the past five days without electricity, water and food, to rescue his ailing grandparents, told the BBC that he had not been able to escape despite a vague announcement of a ceasefire. There is constant bombardment, dead bodies are scattered on the streets with no one to remove them. Plumes of smoke are rising everywhere, while thousands of people are trapped in the buildings in these conditions. They don’t know which bomb or missile will take their breath away.
On the other hand, people of the same family in Bucha and Irpin were victims of mortar while crossing the bridge and died there. Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Olha Stefanishina told that Russia is carrying out attacks from both air and land by making terrorist plans. The siege of the Russian army has intensified around Kyiv on the 12th day. Russia is now planning a strategy to capture Kyiv with full force. The scene of heavy devastation has come to the fore in Irpin near Kyiv.
Ukraine failed to build humanitarian corridor: Russian Defense MinistryRussia’s defense ministry has accused Ukraine of failing to live up to its promise to build a humanitarian corridor to help people leave the southern city of Mariupol amid the attacks. It said Russia had made another attempt late on Sunday to evacuate civilians from Mariupol. We fulfilled all the conditions for setting up the corridor while the Ukrainian side could not fulfill them.
Sanctions on Russia not enough: Zelensky
Lviv. The war-torn country’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has urged Western countries to tighten sanctions against Russia. “The audacity of the attacker shows that the current sanctions against Russia are not enough,” he said in a video message. Zelensky called for the creation of an authority to order such crimes and bring those who perpetrated them to justice.
Call for help in collaboration with Global Citizen
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has found a new partner in defending his country, Global Citizen, a non-profit international organization fighting extreme poverty. Zelensky and Global Citizen called for action from the organization’s millions of members as well as its governmental, corporate and philanthropic partners.
Preparations to run Ukraine’s government-in-exile from PolandThe US may not have directly launched its forces in Ukraine against Russian attacks, but they have started working on a much further strategy. The United States has begun work on a second plan to keep President Volomidir Zelensky’s government in Ukraine afloat. Under this, in the event of Russian occupation of Ukraine, the US has made preparations to run the Zelensky government-in-exile from Poland. America plans to conduct guerrilla warfare with Russia for a long time.
The American newspaper Washington Post quoted sources in the Joe Biden administration as saying, “We are preparing plans for the emergency.” Under this, Ukraine’s allies can help form a government-in-exile in Poland so that guerrilla warfare continues in the war-torn country. Earlier on March 4, the speaker of the Russian parliament had said that Zelensky had gone to Poland. However it is not confirmed yet. Later the speaker said that President Zelensky is still present in Kyiv. Meanwhile, Zelensky also sent a video message from Ukraine itself.
