Yesterday on 24th February, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced war against Ukraine.
The war actually commenced!
Yesterday, ISH News released a detailed video about the Russia - Ukraine conflict.
If you missed watching the video, you can see it on this link. I am going to give you an update on the same story.
Since the war started yesterday, here are a fews updates on the conflict.
Russian air force attacked the military bases in Ukraine.
The army moved into Ukraine from the north, south and east.
Russia dropped many missiles on Ukraine.
Military bases were bombared and people took refuge in bomb shelters.
Russia bombarded many missles and there were fires are multiple cases.
Russia's Defense Ministry said its attack was "successful".
They had attacked Ukraine's 74 military bases in the north, south & east
including 11 air force bases. Russia missiles have caused mass destruction.
Russia wants to remove the Ukraine government and
wants to put someone in the new government who will support Russia.
Many bombardments were seen in Ukriane's capital, Kyiv
and several other cities as well.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said
137 Ukrainians died and another 316 people had been badly injured.
Zelensky tweeted, "Russia is attacking us but will continue protecting ourself and we will never let Russia capture Ukraine."
Lakhs of people living in Ukraine, have gone into hiding fearing Russian attacks
and many have left the country.
In Ukraine's Kharkiv city,
since Russia was throwing bombs and missiles,
people ran inside a metro station to protect themselves.
At another city in Ukraine called Dnipro
there was a hospital. Like adults have ICU, there is NICU for infants where they are taken care of.
Now with the war and dropping of bombs, in order to protect the babies, the hospital administration
moved the babies into a room at lower level of the building.
The war has had a very bad impact on the world’s economy.
India’s share market crashed by 3%.
With Russia attacking Ukraine, countries like USA, Germany etc
would be sending their troops to Ukraine to support them in the war.
Ukraine urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to interfere and talk to Russian President Vladimir Putin
and tell him to stop the war against Ukraine.
Also PM Modi and Putin have a very strong connection
and PM Modi is a very strong and respectable leader.
Due to their strong connection, if PM Modi talks to Putin, Putin might listen to him.
Hours after the request, Prime Minister Narendra Modi called Russian president Vladimir Putin,
appealing for an immediate end to the war.
PM Modi said that for India, the highest priority is the safe exit and return of its citizens so the war should stop.
16,000 Indian students are still stuck in Ukraine.
They are afraid because of the war and are running out of food and money.
16,000 Indians are stuck in North, South and East of Ukraine
They have no way to exit the country amidst the Russian attacks.
The Indian government is working very hard to bring the Indians back from Ukraine.
Currently Russia has attacked Ukraine from North, South and East
The only way Indians can be evacuated is from the west from countries like Poland, Hungary, Slovakia and Romania.
Indians have been asked to reach these countries from where the Indian government would bring them back safely.
They want to bring the Indians back before Russia attacks the western side as well.
Meanwhile the people in Russia are protesting on the main street in St Petersburg,
against the Russian government for waging war on Ukraine.
Russians are supporting Ukraine and are saying that the two countries are very close.
