Washington: Tension between Russia and Western countries (Ukraine Russia US-NATO) regarding Ukraine is at its peak. Military activity has increased from both sides. Meanwhile, Jake Sullivan, National Security Adviser to US President Joe Biden, said that Russia could attack Ukraine “any day” (Russia Ukraine Conflict). He said that if the struggle starts, then humanity will have to pay a big price. This is the second warning from the senior adviser to the President. Earlier, US officials had confirmed that by the middle of the month, Russia had collected at least 70 percent of the military equipment is intended.
According to US officials, its purpose is to provide Russian President Vladimir Putin with an option to launch an attack against Ukraine. “If war breaks out, Ukraine will have to pay a huge human cost, but based on its preparedness and response, we believe that Russia will pay a strategic price for this as well,” Sullivan said, referring directly to those reports. According to which the White House has informed lawmakers that Russia could attack Kyiv quickly, in which 50,000 people could be killed.
Told the story of the attack as a conspiracy
Sullivan said a diplomatic solution is still possible (Ukraine Russia USA Today). The administration has warned in recent days that Russia intends to rapidly invade Ukraine’s territory. Biden administration officials said last week that intelligence inputs suggested the Kremlin worked on an elaborate conspiracy to fabricate a story about an attack by Ukrainian security forces to give Russia an excuse to take military action against its neighbor.
No intention to attack – Russia
On the other hand, Russia says on this whole matter that it does not intend to attack or occupy Ukraine. He has linked the deployment of one lakh soldiers on the border to his own security concerns. Along with this, the US and its led military alliance have made major demands from NATO. In these, it has been said that Ukraine should not be included in NATO and Western countries should not expand towards the east. However, both the US and NATO have refused to accept these demands. US and Russian officials have also held several meetings to resolve the Russia and Ukraine crisis.
Whose side will Germany take?
Even in these circumstances, it is not yet decided whether Germany will take military action against Russia or not. For this reason, the Western media is viewing Germany as an untrustworthy ally. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is on his way to Washington to meet Joe Biden on Monday. It is believed that the silence that Germany has kept on the tension in Russia-Ukraine will now be broken. Olaf could also send a bigger message, as Germany has been criticized for its complicit stand on Russia-Ukraine tensions.
What is the Ukraine-Russia dispute?
The dispute is that Ukraine wants to become a member country of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization ie NATO. Russia is opposing it. Actually, NATO is a Military Alliance between America and Western countries. Russia does not want its neighboring country Ukraine to become a NATO-friendly country. This whole dispute has given rise to the possibility of a new war, in which more than one country can take part.
Apart from this, Russia has also deployed its warships in the Black Sea, which are equipped with dangerous missiles. The Black Sea borders Ukraine. There is also an area named Crimea, which was with Ukraine till 2014. But later Russia occupied it. At this time also he has control over this area.
