| Russia Ukraine conflict and the Cold War---KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia pressed its invasion of Ukraine to the outskirts of thecapital Friday after unleashing airstrikes on cities |
The
Pakistani delegation was in a dilemma as to what to do, childish neutrality.
Russia Ukraine's history is so intertwined in its origins that a certain period
of their history is called the Caucasus Russia. After the Russian Bolshevik
Revolution of 1917, Ukraine joined the Soviet Union in 1919.
In
World War II, the Soviet Union and the United States and Britain together
defeated the Tripartite Alliance of German Nazism and Fascism, in which the
Soviet Union played a key role and liberated Germany, Ukraine and many Eastern
European countries from Hitler's control. ۔ When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991,
Ukraine became a separate republic through a referendum.
The
defense agreement of the Warsaw Pact, established against the NATO military
bloc after the collapse of the Soviet Union, also came to an end, thus ending
the division of the capitalist camp and the socialist camp in Europe. But
things took a terrible turn and the United States became the sole superpower in
the world, and Western Europe as well as the member states of the Warsaw Pact
in Eastern Europe joined NATO.
Thus,
the siege around Russia became narrower, although with the end of the Warsaw
Pact, it was expected that Europe would unite and that NATO would come to an
end. But the lone superpower tied Western and Eastern Europe to NATO, fearful
of nuclear superpower Russia.
Russia-Ukraine
recent conflict erupted in southeastern Ukraine (Donbass) where Russia is the
majority and the western part is based on racial segregation between Ukrainians
when on 21 November 2013 the then Ukrainian President Yanukovych signed an
alliance with the European Union. The treaty was suspended, and two days later
a border war broke out between Russia and Ukraine.
Crimea,
located in the Black Sea on the Soviet Union's main port of Sevastopol (handed
over to Ukraine in 1954 by Soviet-born Ukrainian President Furochev), restored
its old occupation through a referendum on March 18, 2014.
Meanwhile,
the impeachment motion against Ukrainian President Yanukovych, backed by the
Russian people in southeastern Ukraine, succeeded, and "Euromedian"
demonstrations erupted in Ukraine seeking to sever ties with the European
Union, leading to Ukraine's partition. Was left
In
Ukraine, fierce fighting broke out between the families of two politicians,
Yanukovych and Tamushenko, and their parties. Meanwhile, in the
Russian-Ukrainian war of Donbass, Dominican Republic and Luhansk declared their
independence.
During
the civil war, two trilateral agreements were reached in Minsk, the capital of
Belarus, under which the Dominican Republic and Luhansk were granted
territorial sovereignty, guaranteed by the Organization for Security and
Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). But the organization, and in particular Germany
and France, did not play the role that the treaty required.
Russian
President Putin, meanwhile, insisted on a new security structure for
"indivisible security" in Europe, but Britain and the United States
did not allow that to happen. Instead, he sought Ukraine's accession to NATO,
which he strongly supported. Incumbent Ukrainian President Vladimir Putin took
the floor. Instead of adhering to the Minsk agreements, efforts were
intensified to bring Ukraine into the European Union and NATO.
Russia's
threats to its own security increased after the former Soviet states of Eastern
Europe joined NATO and the European Union, and it drew the red line that
Georgia and Ukraine would not join NATO under any circumstances.
That is
why Russia invaded Ukraine, intending to dismantle Ukraine's defense forces and
close the door to Ukraine's participation in NATO, to recognize two "newly
independent" states in southeastern Ukraine, and one in western Ukraine.
To create a taxing political system.
Ukrainian
President Zelensky, meanwhile, is frustrated with the United States and NATO
nations that he has been left alone in the war and is ready to negotiate with
Russia. The difference now is where the talks take place, in Minsk or in
Warsaw. The United States and NATO are now said to have withdrawn from
Ukraine's ground support over Russia's nuclear threat. However, they have
announced economic sanctions against Russia.
Even if
Europe does now, especially Germany, Italy and France, 40% of its gas and about
a third of its oil comes from Russia and 70% of Russia's gas and half of its
oil is exported to Europe. Russia is the European Union's largest trading
partner, accounting for 37% of Europe's world trade. Due to this bilateral
trade dependence, economic sanctions on Russia will hurt Western Europe more
than Russia.
Now
that China has become a major global economic power and is becoming a major
partner of Russia in the new alignment of Eurasia, it seems to be standing with
Russia. Under these circumstances, Russia's blockade of the United States is in
fact part of the global alignment of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and is a
manifestation of the new Cold War.
In the
age of globalized trade and investment, which is in need of a globalized world
and global supply chains, economic sanctions affect the entire global market.
If Russia is affected then the western world will also be affected.
Russia's
NATO blockade is not only a threat to world peace and security on the planet,
but it is also creating the conditions for the wider Eurasian region to become
a new bloc with a few exceptions, which is possible with the cooperation of
China and Russia. ۔
In this
situation, India is stuck in an old dilemma, but Prime Minister Narendra Modi
has taken the same stance that Jawaharlal Nehru took during the Hungarian
crisis.
In such a situation, the visit of Prime Minister Imran Khan was an untimely affair. The world is going to change in the next 20 years, and we need to move beyond the old American Aid dreams and focus on C-Pack, which could include Russia.
