Kiev: Ukraine’s President Zhelenzky has demanded that countries, including the United States and Australia, launch a counter – offensive as Russia intensifies its offensive without fulfilling its promise. It is said that a social agreement was reached during the last 2 days of talks with the delegations of the two countries in Istanbul regarding the cessation of the Ukraine-Russia war which has been going on for more than a month. As a result, Russia has announced that it will reduce attacks on cities, including the Ukrainian capital, Kiev, and Chernivtsi.
Thus, the war between the two countries was expected to end soon. But Russia has not kept its promise, and has intensified attacks on cities near Kiev. In this regard, the Russian House of Representatives has issued a statement saying that no agreement was reached during the talks. As a result, the 2nd day talks were canceled and the two delegations returned home.
None of the world’s nations, including the United States and Britain, believe in Russia’s promise to reduce attacks. The reason is that Russia’s goal is to make the Ukrainian president surrender. But Ukrainian President Zhelensky has stated categorically that “we will not give up even one part of the country for peace.” Ukraine has retaliated against the powerful Russian military with the armed assistance of the world powers, including the United States, Britain and NATO.
In retaliation for Ukraine, Russian forces have been able to repel ground attacks and launch attacks with missiles and artillery shells that can hit the target accurately. Russia continues to blockade cities, including Mariupol and Irfin. Ukraine has recaptured some Russian-controlled cities. NATO countries, including the United States and Britain, have been providing large arms and cash assistance to Ukraine, despite calls from countries including India for a ceasefire and a social decision.
In this context, Ukrainian President Zhelensky called on President Biden to “provide more US military assistance as Russia continues to carry out attacks in defiance of its pledge.” “Thanks to US President Biden for providing Rs 3,800 crore in aid,” he said in a video. Defensive attack alone is not enough. To retaliate severely. Ukraine therefore needs more armed assistance to counter the Russian invasion. If we are really fighting together for freedom and the defense of democracy, we have the right to ask for help at this difficult juncture.
Have tanks, aircraft, artillery systems. Freedom must be a worse weapon than tyranny. We are preparing for this. ‘ Similarly, in a video screened in the Australian Parliament, Ukrainian President Gelensky said, ‘Russian ships should be banned from international ports. Powerful sanctions should be imposed until they stop threatening other countries with their nuclear missiles. You have the best armed personnel vehicles, pushmasters.
They should provide substantial assistance to Ukraine. Other equipment should also be provided, ‘he pleaded. David Arakamiya, chairman of the Ukrainian delegation, said that the talks between the Ukraine and Russia delegations had been canceled and that a video conference would be held today. Meanwhile, President Zhelensky has recalled Ukrainian ambassadors to Georgia and Morocco for failing to take adequate action against war-torn Russia.
* Russia shot down its own plane
According to British intelligence chief Jeremy Fleming, Russian President Vladimir Putin has largely misjudged the invasion. He underestimated the sanctions. He overestimated his army’s ability to achieve rapid victory. We have seen Russian soldiers without weapons and determination refusing to carry out orders, destroying their own equipment and accidentally shooting down their own aircraft. ‘

What I can say for sure is that we have information that Putin was misled by the Russian military. This has led to continued tensions between Putin and his military leadership. Putin is being misunderstood by his advisers about how badly the Russian military is doing and how the Russian economy is being paralyzed by sanctions. Because his senior advisers are too scared to tell him the truth. ‘
