Ukraine has suffered grievously in the war. Aerial bombardment and land battles have reduced a beautiful, picturesque country to rubble.
Just over three months into Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, as the conflict continues to take an unacceptable toll on civilians, the battle on the ground is showing signs of turning into one of attrition.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said that he had discussed defence support for Ukraine in a phone conversation with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
India has faced some questions from the west on what is being described by some as soft-peddling on Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
The first is obviously the Russian invasion of Ukraine starting on 24 February. The second is the USA-Russia war of about three decades starting after the disintegration of the USSR. The third is the war between broadly Western Ukraine and Eastern Ukraine, particularly since 2014.
China has neither condemned Russian actions in Ukraine nor ruled out the possibility of Beijing acting as a mediator in a push for peace.
Zelensky said security issues and steps needed to support Ukraine were key topics of the talks, Xinhua news agency reported.
Ukrainian officials said they have killed some 12 generals on the frontlines, a number that has bamboozled military analysts.
Stung by the initial setback in procuring wheels for the Vande Bharat Express from war-torn Ukraine, which is now stuck in Romania, the Railways has now decided to manufacture them at its wheel factory to ensure that the PM's cherished project does not face any further roadblocks, sources have said.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has announced the launch of United24, a global fundraising platform to collect donations for the war-torn nation.
