It is heart wrenching to see civilians suffer in what can be stated as cruel invasion pushed ( Russia ) and aerial assurance pulled ( Nato ) debacle. Nato has literally pumped and dumped Ukraine, in what was we are with you in this to the point of war eventuating to our thought are with the people of Ukraine, when the actual war broke out. Statements/ Sanctions/Condemnation are fighting with missiles, fighter jets & expansionism at its core. Big daddy & the union of europe has lost the ground, in their attempt to safe-guard national interest, both at a national/continent and international level.
What are we losing..
Along with the innocent lives, bread and butter, hope of better future, billions due to economic/market uncertainties, we are losing out on trust, co-operation, I’ll be there for you has lost hope. In this tussle of expansionary ego vs existential identify the common on ground is losing out on its right to live and hustle.
What is dented..
Nato credibility is dented big time, partly because of its selfishness, partly because of its pump and dump scheme.
Where does India stand.
Russia has been tried, trusted & real friend of all the powers that have been trying to muscle down India’s voice. It has single handedly stood for us, when we needed it the most, every single time. At the times when economies exchange drive geo-political voices, individual country preference overpowers humanitarian grounds. I believe, we are at our full strength to stand with dialogues, de escalation, not taking any sides. Whereas a tilt towards selfishness gives us every right to stand with Russia ( our time tested friend ), but we rightly & adhering to geo-political capacity, are strictly against expansionism, against war.
What lies ahead..
As the Nato has backed out big time, Condemnation not confrontation, is struggling for survival. Ukraine is left with massive to protest & very little to protect. The only hope left now is, Russia on itself realise its grave action & attempt to restore what is lost, which is highly unlikely. But a little more likely than fake assurances.
More strength to Ukrainians.
