Since long Russia had been resisting Western and NATO expansion and as a rollback of previous expansion, it has very dangerous plans. It did not surprise many when Russian President Vladimir Putin took decision to launch an attack on a sovereign state Ukraine on Thursday, 24 February 2022, after recognizing two separatist areas in eastern Ukraine as independent states. It was a US-India joint venture in which orchestra was played by Israel and Britain. Pope Francis said that "increasingly alarming scenarios" are emerging in Ukraine and he urged all sides to refrain from actions and make a serious examination of conscience before God about any actions they might take which could cause suffering to the people in the region. He called celebration of Easter which begins on "Ash Wednesday", 2 March 2020, as an international day of fasting and prayer for peace. It will be followed by Muslims' holy month of Ramadan a month later. World is reacting so calm as nothing as happened. There are no NATO Fighters aircrafts preparing for a dog fights or American and Western Air Defence systems and jammers in near vicinity. It seems that it a global joint venture in which there is human suffering, especially the Ukrainian Muslims are targeted.
In a televised address, Putin described Ukraine as an integral part of Russia’s history and said eastern Ukraine was ancient Russian lands and that he was confident that the Russian people would support his decision.He said that Ukraine never had a tradition of genuine statehood and complained that post-Soviet Ukraine had wanted everything it could from Moscow without doing anything in return. Putin’s formal recognition of the Donetsk People’s Republic and Luhansk People’s Republic signaled an end to a seven-year-old peace deal known as the Minsk agreement. The recognition of the breakaway Donetsk and Luhansk territories of eastern Ukraine has a Muslim population is about 800,000. Currently, all the migrants to foreign countries make a vast population who are eager to return, The internally displaced Muslims from the occupied territories have official IDP [internally displaced persons] status and the right to get social support in terms of special state programs.
With a hope to win global recognition as potential Permanent member of United Nations Security Council, India abstained on a United Nations Security Council resolution by the United States of America that "deplores in the strongest terms" Russia's aggression" against Ukraine. Apparently the Defence Intelligence Agencies of the US and India jointly planned some moves. As planned, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy spoke with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and sought India's political support at the UN Security Council to stop Russia's military offensive against his country. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's in his tweet said, "More than 100,000 invaders are on our land. They insidiously fire on residential buildings. Urged India to give us political support in UN Security Council. Stop the aggressor together!" Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba spoke to his Indian counterpart S Jaishankar and sought India's support to a UN Security Council. Kuleba urged Jaishankar to use India's influence over Russia to force it to cease "military aggression" against Ukraine besides supporting the UN resolution.
The 15-nation Security Council voted on the draft resolution by the US and Albania and co-sponsored by a "cross-regional" group of 67 UN member states, including Australia, Estonia, Finland, Georgia, Germany, Italy, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Romania and the United Kingdom. The resolution was blocked since permanent member Russia as President of the Security Council for the month of February used its veto. The resolution received 11 votes in favour by Albania, Brazil, France, Gabon, Ghana, Ireland, Kenya, Mexico, Norway, the UK and the US while three nations India, China and the UAE abstained. “The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, in line with its foreign policy of neutrality, calls on both sides of the conflict to resolve the crisis through dialogue and peaceful means.” The government expressed concern over the protection of lives of Afghan students and migrants in Ukraine.
Where the United Nations Organization is a silent observer, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has plans to enhance humanitarian assistance to the people of Ukraine. The world body has demanded US $ 1bn for aid operations in Ukraine over the next three months as a result of Russia’s attack. However, it failed to prevent the war or condemn aggression. In other developments, the Western world including USA, France, Germany and Britain have imposed new sanctions of Russia to encompass “national measures to freeze the financial assets of Russian figures”. The EU Council President Charles Michel has announced that European Union will facilitate the delivery of military aid to Ukraine. He said, “I will propose a package of emergency assistance for the Ukrainian armed forces, to support them in their heroic fight". Meanwhile, the French President France said that will send more military equipment, as well as fuel, to Ukraine to help fight off the Russian invasion. Holland has announced that the government will supply 50 Panzerfaust-3 anti-tank weapons and 400 rockets.
Where the international players expect that a bulk of Ukrainian population should move in different refugees' camps around the world, Western world started media campaign much ahead of event that call Kyiv to work with international partners and INGOs to ensure that Russian-origin Muslims and other immigrants are fairly vetted in the asylum system and protected against deportation or extradition based on false claims and handed over to foreign governments. It is propagated that they may subject them to abuses and human right violations. There is no doubt, that the Indian origin Patel conspiracy that emerged from Haifa, Israel spread all over the Muslim world as well as handful of Indian agents and fifth columnists in Pakistan and Middle East played a dirty role in dragging the peaceful population of Central Asian countries to this level. Pumping in deadly weapons by the Western and Indians players from Poland and Bulgaria into Belarus and Ukraine and aggression itself, it is high time to reform UNO on the basis of equality and justice as it has lost its capacity to deal with open deviations by States to act as civilized humans.
