Relevance: <\/strong>Russia and Ukraine war<\/p>\n

News- <\/strong>The article explains the events and reasons for prolonged conflict between Russia and Ukraine. It also explains the position of India and scope for the global south toi have negotiated a solution of the conflict.<\/p>\n

What are some facts related to war? <\/strong><\/h5>\n

War between Russia and Ukraine is still going on. There are no prospects for global diplomacy <\/strong>to end the war.<\/p>\n

There seems less chance of victory of one side over another or negotiated solution<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

On eastern front, Ukraine has succeeded in pushing Russia back. But, new fronts<\/strong> are opening at sea, in air, cyber space and in random bombardment of targets far away from the actual fighting.<\/p>\n

The Security Council stays paralysed. Its Resolutions on the Ukraine war are vetoed by major powers.<\/p>\n

What are the objectives of both parties in the war?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Objectives of the belligerents<\/strong> keep evolving as the war unfolds. The initial objective of Russia was to neutralise Ukraine and make it a buffer between NATO and its own territory, and protect the interests of the Russian minorities of Ukraine. It has now evolved into territorial annexation<\/strong>. Ukrainian objectives are total defeat of Russia, war reparations to be paid by it and regime change in Moscow.<\/p>\n

The two objectives are totally incompatible<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Why has war in Ukraine become protracted?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The reasons for prolonged war are strategic depth <\/strong>of the belligerents, diffuse targets<\/strong>, incompatible war objectives<\/strong>, and the induction of third parties with a stake in keeping hostilities alive.<\/p>\n

The additional factor that is responsible for prolonging conflict is the nuclear option<\/strong>, available to both sides. This has created a balance of terror<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

What are the impacts of war?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Vast sums of tax-payers money are being diverted into the military-industrial complex<\/strong> and proxy war of NATO.<\/p>\n

There is a steep rise in prices of essential commodities. Inflation has hit all across the globe but its impact is asymmetric. The poor suffer relatively more.<\/p>\n

It has created refugee problem.<\/strong> There are 6 million UKrainian refugees spread over Europe.<\/p>\n

What\u00a0 is the Indian position on war?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Indian position has been consistent. It is asking for an immediate cessation of hostilities<\/strong> and the start of negotiations. India has reiterated the country\u2019s commitment to global governance<\/strong>. It has struck a delicate balance<\/strong> between the belligerents.<\/p>\n

Modi message to Russian President Vladimir Putin that \u201cnow is not the era for war\u201d<\/strong> and his call for immediate cessation of hostilities at the G20 reiterate the Indian position.<\/p>\n

India\u2019s neutrality in western capitals is perceived as a pursuit of its narrow self-interest rather than a serious global policy option<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

What is the scope for the global south to end the conflict?<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The protracted war in Ukraine has provided the Global South an opportunity to claim a place at the high table of global diplomacy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

An initiative by the South, possibly led by Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, working jointly with Turkey, and with the implicit support of India and China, can offer to broker a deal. It can be\u00a0 operated through the United Nations General Assembly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
