Kiev: Ukraine has called on NATO, a North American and European bloc, to provide more weapons as Russian forces plan to launch attacks from the east of the country.
Russia’s war on Eastern European country Ukraine has been going on for six weeks. Russia’s attempt to capture the capital, Kiev, has failed. Following this, Russia withdrew its troops from the area. Meanwhile, Russian forces are reportedly planning to launch an offensive from the eastern part of Ukraine.
Russia has been supporting separatists in the region known as Donbass. Russia is reportedly planning to enter Ukraine through the region. Meanwhile, Ukraine has sought the help of NATO countries.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba attended a meeting of NATO foreign ministers in Brussels, Belgium. In it, he urged NATO countries to provide weapons to confront Russia. However, the NATO countries have been refusing to provide warplanes and artillery because Russia could continue to attack Ukraine.
Attacks continue in the coastal city of Mariupol in southern Ukraine. So far, more than 5,000 people have been killed, according to the city’s mayor, Poychenko. Of the buildings in the city, 90 percent are damaged, he said.
Training for medical students Students from many countries, including India, studied at medical colleges and universities in Ukraine. When the war broke out, more than 20,000 Indian students were rescued. These universities have been conducting courses online for medical students since last month.
Hospitals in some countries have volunteered to provide recipe training for these students. Meanwhile, Ukrainian universities have urged several governments to provide the necessary direct training for students.
