Russian army ready to attack Ukraine, world moving towards third world war?
The Russian army, which has surrounded Ukraine from three sides, is now fully prepared for the attack. In the latest pictures from the satellite, it is seen that the movement of the Russian army on the northern border of Ukraine has increased significantly. The Russian army, still living in its barracks, has taken the front in the field. Meanwhile, a summit meeting between US President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin may be held soon to prevent war in Ukraine. There is an atmosphere of fear all over the world due to the threat of war in Ukraine and people are afraid that it may turn into the third world war. Let us know the big updates on Ukraine crisis and its impact on India.
Hundreds of Russian tanks arrived very close to the Ukrainian border
Amidst Russia’s military preparedness, satellite images of Maxar have revealed that a large number of lethal weapons and soldiers have been seen in the northwestern part of Belgorod, Soloti and Valuyki. These towns of Russia are only 35 km away from the border of Ukraine. Maxor found that there has been a change in the preparedness of the Russian army before and now. Until now, Russia had deployed most of the weapons in its military bases and training ones. Not only this, some weapons of Russia are stationed only 15 km from the border of Ukraine. In a video going viral on social media, about 200 Russian tanks are seen moving just 5 km from the Ukrainian border. ‘Z’ is written on the tanks going to the Ukraine border. This indicates that they were built as combat units.
Russia increases military exercises with Belarus
Meanwhile, Russia on Sunday expanded military exercises near Ukraine’s northern borders. At the same time, two consecutive days of shelling between soldiers and Russian-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine has increased the possibility of an attack. On the other hand, the President of Ukraine has appealed for a ceasefire. Belarus Defense Minister Viktor Khrenin has said his country’s joint exercises with Russian troops will continue due to rising tensions over Ukraine. As per the earlier schedule, the exercise was to end on Sunday. Ukraine shares its northern border with Belarus, which takes less than three hours to reach by vehicle. With the presence of Russian troops, Western countries fear that they may enter the Ukrainian capital of Kiev. Kiev has a population of around 30 million. Western leaders have warned that Russia may attack neighboring Ukraine and has deployed some 150,000 troops, warplanes and other equipment on three sides of the border. Russia on Saturday conducted nuclear weapons and conventional maneuvers in neighboring Belarus. His marines also took part in the campaign near the Black Sea coast.
Biden may hold summit meeting with Putin
The US President’s Office, the White House, has said that US President Joe Biden is ready to hold an “in-principle” meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin if Russia does not attack Ukraine. This situation has been created through the mediation of French President Emmanuel Macron. US officials have warned that Russia could attack Ukraine at any time. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said the administration believes “we are committed to finding a diplomatic solution from the moment the attack begins.” US Secretary of State Antoine Blinken and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov will also meet in Europe on Thursday, if there is no aggression. “We are always ready to follow the diplomatic path,” Saki said in a statement. We are also prepared to take swift and serious action if Russia chooses the path of war. Currently, Russia is rapidly preparing to launch a massive attack on Ukraine.
President of Ukraine offered to talk to Putin
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Saturday proposed a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin to find a solution to the crisis. Zelensky tweeted on Sunday calling for a ceasefire. There has been no response from Russia on Zelensky’s proposal. NATO estimates that there are 30,000 Russian troops in Belarus. After a phone call with French President Emmanuel Macron, Putin blamed Ukraine for aggravating the situation and NATO for “delivering modern arms and ammunition” to Ukraine. A statement from Russia’s presidential office, the Kremlin, referred to the ceasefire as temporary and did not say anything on Zelensky’s appeal for talks. At the same time, European Council President Charles Michel said on Sunday, ‘The big question is whether Russia wants to negotiate?’ We cannot always offer peace-goodwill.’ He said, ‘One thing is certain. If there is a further military offensive, we will impose bigger sanctions.
If there is a Russian attack, there will be a serious impact on India
If Russia attacks Ukraine, it will have terrible effects on India too. Professor Swaran Singh, an expert on Russian affairs at Jawaharlal Nehru University, says that there is an atmosphere of fear in the whole region due to the strategy of Russia and Belarus. He said that today the world is connected to each other. India’s stock markets could collapse if the war started. In response to this attack, Western countries will impose strict sanctions against Russia, which will disrupt the supply of arms between Russia and India. About 60 percent of the weapons in the Indian Army are of Russian origin. Russia is currently giving India the S-400 air defense system. America is constantly insisting that India should make its stand clear in the Ukraine crisis. India has insisted on resolving this crisis through diplomacy. In view of this danger, India has advised all non-essential people to leave Ukraine. In addition, oil prices could skyrocket, reaching as high as $90 a barrel without even starting a war. Another big danger is that Russia may move closer to China after the US sanctions, which may increase India’s troubles on the border. Not only this, America’s attention can now move away from China to Europe, which is not good for the interest of India and Taiwan.
