the conflict between the Russia and Ukraine appears set for long duration attrition and RUSSIA is facing a determined adversary unexpectedly, thus putting it in tight corner. UCRAiNE Is resisting it's enemy with

all it's might and determination and it's entire population is resisting the attacking forces

The NATO Nations are supplying stocks of latest missiles , tank destroying guided systems resulting in severe losses in terms of tanks military vehicles , air crafts and choppers to Russia apart from losses of military personnel. BRITAIN has SUPPLIED it's latest anti aircraft destroying systems to Ukraine.

RUSSIA never expected this much resistance from a small and weak Ukraine throwing it's plans haywire. RUSSIA imagined Ukraine as a rat facing a cat but alas tables have been turned.

RUSSIA also used recently the most powerful bomb next only to nuclear bomb . Some call it a vaccum bomb on Ukraine and world has expressed horror at turn of events. Secondly RUSSIA has displaying it's nuclear arsenal and it's potential as a threat calling for nuclear drills leading to psychological warfare and brow beat ukrainians. However, Ucraine Appears not perturbed.

RUSSIA in some tactical Moves withdrew some attacking columns from kiev. This is seen as a prelude to concentrated air and missile attacks on capital KIEV.In the midst of chaos there are severe allegations that withdrawing Rusian troops resorted to mass killings of civilians being termed war crimes. American president Biden has gone to the extent of declaring putin as a war criminal.

The present war is causing great frustration to putin and it appears he is loosing control of restrained attacks over a small nation. Will this result in dropping an atom bomb one or more over kiev in very near future to force it to surrender?.can the withdrawl of Russian columns towards kiev be taken as preparations for a nuclear assault on kiev like ww ii bombing of hiroshima and nagasaki to force Japan to surrender. Americans did it in ww ii having won in Europe and Japan did not develop the bomb at that time. Even after the devastation, a section of JAPAN was willing to continue the war as it was confident to develop atomic bomb in short time and that would have placed japan in great negotiating position.

Ukraine has no atomic bombs and nato nations have plenty of them. If nuclear assault takes place over Ukraine will nato nations keep watching as spectators. Till now, America.,France and Britain are the key supporters to Ukraine. in case nato nations as a support aim their nuclear war heads on to Russia and declare a threat accordingly ,Russia would think ten times before it drops bomb on Ukraine. It will be a decision only by a lunatic. already biden has, declared puttin as war criminal and trials have to be conducted. accordingly. RUSSIA however is claiming that scenes shown are fake. Secondly the pro russian civilian armed outfits have declared that they did not commit any massacre. Can we trust them?

What will be Indias role now. In all probabilities, India will keep watching as usual and plays touch me not game come what

may due to good relations

with Russia and as RUssia is the largest arms supplier to Inda and helps India to manufacture them too. thus India will soft tow the issue occasionally issuing some statement that all problems should be resolved peacefully. it is a different matter India fought four major wars after 1947 apart from kargil war and lankan fiasco apart from fight against terror outfits in kashmir. India also is involved in fighting maoists in many states leading to loss of lives.

The present crisis is likely to culminate into serious international situation. The present conflict will start a precedence to brow beat weaker nations to fall in line in future. Smaller nations with a big brother next door will feel insecure .India having promoted non alignment will play solo music every time. no one will heed to Indias call for restraint and India is ignored in world affairs as usual and it suits us well.
