Moscow / Kyiv – Ukraine has to pay an overwhelming price for ignoring Russia’s warnings relying on the assurances of the US and NATO. Russia has launched attacks on Ukraine from three sides. Besides, news had surfaced about the Russian forces gaining control over some parts of the capital Kyiv. Russia destroys 74 Ukrainian military locations through airstrike. Ukraine’s army and air force are indeed resisting Russian troops, but Ukraine’s military will not survive Russia’s power, as evident from the military coup by Russia. As per some news agencies, Russia is prepared to overthrow President Zelensky’s regime by seizing the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv.  

At around 3:30 am local standard time, Russia launched a massive attack on the Ukrainian city of Mariupol. Russian defence forces invaded Ukraine from three sides, eastern Ukraine, Crimea and Belarus. Russia utterly defeated the Ukrainian air force and military by striking fighter jets, helicopters and missiles. Russia first targeted the soldiers at the Ukrainian border and military infrastructure and blew up the country’s first line of defence. Subsequently, Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, was attacked by Russian tanks and military vehicles. Russian fighter jets were bombarding the Ukrainian air force and the army locations.  

In the first few hours, claims had surfaced that the Ukrainian military was resisting Russia. Ukraine claimed to have shot down Russian fighter jets and helicopters. But within hours, it revealed that Ukraine would not be able to survive the Russian upsurge. Russia has cornered the Ukraine navy. Through this, Russia seems to have safeguarded that Ukraine will not get any assistance through the marine route.  

A great upheaval began after Russia’s attack. But, nothing else has been done by the United States and NATO at present, beyond threatening Russia and imposing sanctions. The United States and NATO have agreed that they cannot call for a war against Russia, siding Ukraine. However, NATO chief General Stoltenberg declared that the necessary deployments were being made for the security of NATO member countries.  

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky appealed to the public to take up arms and resist Russian forces. But he did not get much response. On the other hand, Russia had launched strong military moves to seize the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv. The base in Kyiv, the capital of the Ukrainian Air Force, is said to be currently under the control of the Russian Air Force. Analysts say that this military action has been taken not to seize Ukraine but to overturn Its anti-Russian government.
