I think Crimea and these so called Luhansk and Donetsk republics are good as gone to Ukraine even before Russia invaded.See you will engage in historical discussio while it gives the impression of depth in conversation, it adds nothing to current events.
Fact remain stepped in 24th Feb based on
So Russia heavily sanctioned, its objective not yet completed and Ukraine ransacked. So as on 31March we are there.
- Denazify the govt (no idea what it means)
- Destroy military capacity of Ukraine (WIP)
- Neutral state(Ukraine ready to discuss)
Most probably Ukraine is going for partition, at least it looks like it.
Our minister said in parliament that there is no rupee rouble trade .. all happening in sneak.India should issue warning to USA and Europe against buying Russian oil , Gas , fertilizer , Uranium , diamond and at the same time import more from Russia for its needs ... That way we can match with the current trend in west . Its all about how u present yourself . Western public should get the feelings that we are on their side and not doing some grand conspiring with China like some internet folks are claiming .
Ask USA about it when they didnt like USSR missiles in Cuba.So where did the legal right to sovereignty of countries go if they have no freedom to determine their foreign policy?
Before 2020 India was unsure about China intent.
Ukrainians culture? The Ukrainian language is mostly because of Polish rule. As an example many Polish words found their way into the Russian language, hence you get “Ukrainian” which is mostly spoken in western Ukraine, which shares a border with Poland. Most Ukrainian citizens do not speak Ukrainian regularly. If they know it they generally speak little in Ukrainian and they are not that fluent unless they live in places like Lviv. Even i know people from Ukraine, that are pro Ukrainian and even they all speak Russian.
People have a hard time understanding or excepting this especially foreigners. Most seem shocked by this basic knowledge.
Russian is the most common first language in the Donbas and Crimea regions of Ukraine and the city of Kharkiv, and the predominant language in large cities in the eastern and southern portions of the country.
Putin’s paradox: ‘Ukrainian’ separatists are Russian citizensHow do you propose to check nationality?
A scan of the leadership in the occupied territories explains Zelenskiy’s reluctance.
Many of them are now citizens of the Russian Federation
The senior officials who now have Russian nationality include the top separatist representatives who have participated in discussions of the Trilateral Contact Group, which is responsible for negotiating the detailed implementation of the Minsk accords: Natalia Nikonorova, the foreign minister in Donetsk; and her Luhansk counterpart, Vladislav Deinego.
It's no secret that US-India intelligence sharing has ramped up greatly over the years. They were providing their own analysis and real-time intelligence for Galwan standoff. Post that we saw India sign agreements for QUAD and India-Israel-UAE-USA partnership due to Indian leadership gaining trust on US.Before 2020 India was unsure about China intent.
After Galwan, we are now privy to their intent and had time to rebuild supply chains. If now we did not use the time to refurbish our equipment, build up ammo and fuel depot, who is to be blamed?
We are still going about with Mars pluto trial for indigenous system. Govt is quite confident it seems. With regards to brown sepoy tell him to F off, his ancestors took the decision to do goras saab bidding we stayed here and choose to not do it.
Good question, the word sovereignty is thrown around a lot especially in the west but if sovereignty meant anything why Americans refuse to leave Guantanamo Bay Cuba? Why did Americans threaten nuclear war with Cuba and the Soviet Union when Cuba allowed the Soviet Union to station nuclear weapons? Ironically the west has been surrounding Russia with nuclear weapons and building up troops.So where did the legal right to sovereignty of countries go if they have no freedom to determine their foreign policy?

The west also did not allows Syria, Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, and dozens of other countries determine its foreign policies because the west either invaded those countries, bombed them into submission or both. In many other countries, the west installed puppet governments, such as the case in Ukraine and the US sponsored Maiden “uprising” AKA US politicians landing in Ukraine supporting rioters and then installing puppets.
Ouch, so much for “democracy” again the US set the wheels in motion for this war years ago by overthrowing the Ukrainian government and installing puppets.

Yes let us become an outcast on Eurasia to please someone in Washington. Spoken like a true brown sepoy.They know things we don't. Russia is of not much importance to India apart from strategic weapons technology transfer that is in process. India is leaning increasingly towards the west whether you like it or not.
Such erroneous half arsed trashposting by the cuck of century."militant hindu" activities (Russia used Ukrainian desire to enter EU and NATO), would you want the Indian government to simply let thst province break away without a fight?
You're too onion skinned without understanding the context of the post.
"Cuba continued on its partnership with the USSR."US threatened to invade Cuba when they discovered Russian nuckear missiles stationed there. The statiining of Russian nuclear missiles in Cuba would have defeated the whole security achitecture of the Cold War - known as MAD - since US has very little reaction time if a nuclear missile is lunched from Cuba.
After these missiles were removed Cuba continued on its partnership with the USSR. In fact, the USSR put up Lourdes SIGINT station, which Russia continued to operate until 2002.
