The Russia-Ukraine dispute turned into a war on Thursday. The Russian army launched missile strikes at 12 places including the Ukrainian capital Kyiv at 8.30 am. 54 Ukrainian soldiers and 10 civilians were killed. Ukraine claims to have killed 50 Russian soldiers. Russia has also captured Ukraine's Chernobyl nuclear plant. Although the International Atomic Energy Agency says Ukraine's nuclear plants are running safely, there was no damage at Chernobyl.
Prime Minister Modi held talks with Vladimir Putin for about 25 minutes after the Ukrainian ambassador in Delhi pleaded for India's help. Taking a big decision, the government of Ukraine has banned men from leaving the country. Now men aged 18 to 60 cannot leave Ukraine. The President of Ukraine said that 137 people died in the fighting on the first day.
Biden said for the second time in 24 hours
US President Joe Biden once again appeared in front of the world on the intervening night of Thursday-Friday. Said- There is no plan to talk to Vladimir Putin. He has put the whole world in danger. Russia will have to pay a serious price for attacking Ukraine. Now Russia will be weak and the rest of the world strong. Russia's financial system will no longer be able to trade in dollars, euros, pounds, or yen as before. His military system will also suffer. About $1 trillion in assets of Russian banks are now being held. Four big banks are being banned in America. All the assets of these banks have been frozen.
Britain's tough move
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said in Parliament late on Thursday - Putin has painted his hands with the blood of innocent people of Ukraine, these stains will never be cleaned. We have removed all Russian banks from our financial system. Now Russia will know the consequences of the attack. Johnson said Putin has started a war to hide domestic failure.
Modi-Putin talks
In a statement issued from the PMO, it was said- Prime Minister Modi had a phone conversation with the President of Russia. During this, especially the issue of Ukraine was discussed. The prime minister told Putin that NATO and Russia should resolve the Ukraine issue through serious dialogue. There should be an immediate ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia. Modi raised the issue of the security of Indians and especially students present in Ukraine. Modi said that the safe return of Indians is our top priority. Both the leaders agreed that the diplomats of both countries would be in touch on this issue.
where and how to attack
Ukraine said- We have been attacked from three sides ... from Russia, Belarus, and Crimea border. Attacks are continuing in Luhansk, Kharkiv, Cherniv, Sumy, and Jatomyr provinces. Russian ground forces entered Ukraine and captured many villages there. Russian commando paratroopers are taking possession of them by landing close to the military installations of Ukraine. Ukraine claims it has killed 50 Russian soldiers. Its 6 fighter jets and 4 tanks have been destroyed.

Putin's announcement and immediate attack
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the attack on national television. Said- If anyone interferes between Russia and Ukraine, the result will be very bad. His gesture was towards the US and NATO forces. Five minutes after the statement, 12 explosions occurred in several provinces, including the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv. There was also a missile attack on Kyiv. There the airport was closed. Due to this move, the rescue mission for Indians trapped in Ukraine also had to be stopped. Air India flight to Ukraine has returned due to a danger zone alert.
whose attitude
America: President Biden said – the world should unite against Russia. We will not allow the world to be destroyed at any cost. Russia itself has closed the avenues of dialogue.
EU: The President of the European Union Commission, Ursala van der Lin has come forward for the first time and has openly threatened Russia. Lin said - Now it's time to answer. Now we will target Russia's economy. Will weaken his economy so much that even if he military modernization, he will crave very important things. Russian assets and bank accounts are being frozen across Europe. We are fully supporting the United States and our other allies in this matter.
NATO: Military Chief of NATO said- Ukraine is not a member of our organization. So, we cannot provide direct military assistance, but there are other avenues and aid is being provided to Ukraine through them.
Britain: British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said in Parliament late on Thursday - Putin has painted his hands with the blood of innocent people of Ukraine, these stains will never be cleaned. We have removed all Russian banks from our financial system. Now Russia will know the consequences of the attack.
Ukraine's appeal: The Ambassador of Ukraine in Delhi has appealed to the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, to intervene in this matter. The Ambassador of Ukraine said- India has always taken the side of the right thing. We hope that Prime Minister Modi will help solve this matter and save the lives of our people. India and Ukraine have old relations. Prime Minister Modi has a reputation in the world. They should talk to Putin. Late-night talks between Putin and Modi also took place.
Important updates related to the Ukraine-Russia war...
China once again seems to be standing with Russia in the Russia-Ukraine dispute. China's Foreign Ministry said on Thursday that the sanctions imposed by the US and Western countries on Russia are meaningless, as such actions will only aggravate the dispute rather than resolve it.
Joe Biden will give updates and strategy information on the situation in Ukraine sometime from now. Earlier, the White House said in a statement – this is a very cowardly attack. Extremely tough sanctions are being demanded in the US Parliament against Russia.
Russian President Putin held a meeting with important businessmen of the country to deal with US and European Union sanctions. It considered which strategy could be adopted to reduce the impact of sanctions.
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky said - Russian forces are now trying to capture Chernobyl's nuclear hideout. Our soldiers are trying their best to save the tragedy like 1986. This attack is in a way a declaration of war against the whole of Europe.
Indian Ambassador to Ukraine has said that the Indian Embassy in Kyiv will not be closed. It will continue to work as before. At the same time, Minister of State for External Affairs V. Muraleedharan said – Ministry of External Affairs is taking steps to bring back about 18,000 Indians, including students, from Ukraine. The airspace in Ukraine is closed, so alternative arrangements are being made to evacuate Indian nationals.
Ukrainian military aircraft has crashed near Kyiv. It is reported that 14 soldiers were killed. This information has been released by the state media of Ukraine only.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has made two important announcements. First- Ukraine will no longer have any diplomatic relations with Russia. Second- the citizens of Ukraine should take part in the war. The government will provide weapons to them.
The Russian military has claimed that Ukrainian soldiers have fled important bunkers and bases and are now occupied by Russia. Some military bases have also been captured by Russian troops.
There have been bombings in many places in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine. Kyiv airport was evacuated.
Why try to capture Chernobyl
Chernobyl nuclear power plant. There was a blast here in 1986. The effect of its radiation is still seen on the wildlife here. Although this plant is closed, till now atomic waste (nuclear waste) is present. If there is an attack here, then radiation can spread and the danger is that those who will be saved from bombs and missiles will not be able to escape from radiation. This is the reason that the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, has warned the world how dangerous Russia's intentions are. Fighting was going on in this area till Thursday night.
What did the Defense Ministry of Russia say?
The Russian Defense Ministry issued a statement late in the evening, 12 hours after the attack began, giving the day's update. Said- 74 military bases of Ukraine were destroyed in the airstrikes. These include 11 airfields, three command centers, one navy post, 18 S-300 radars, and Buk air defense systems. An attack helicopter and four strike drones were also shot down.
Memes between the battles
Amidst Russia's attack, a cartoon of Putin and Hitler has been tweeted from the official Twitter handle of Ukraine. In this, Hitler is smiling looking at Putin, and placing his hand on his cheek. This action of Ukraine is being opposed on social media. Most people say that this is not the time to taunt politics. The war has started and at least now seriousness should be shown.
Russia claims - Ukrainian cities are not targeted, military bases are being destroyed
Russia has stated missile attacks and blasts in Ukraine. Russia said that our target is not the cities of Ukraine. We are destroying Ukrainian military bases, airfields, air defense facilities, and aviation. There is no threat to the people of Ukraine.
Putin took the wrong step
David Petraeus, former director of the US Central Intelligence Agency, said - Putin has given NATO the biggest gift since the end of the Cold War. Because of this threat, NATO has reunited. Putin wants to make Russia great, but he made NATO great again with his actions.
National Emergency in Ukraine
Ukraine's parliament declared a national emergency in the wake of the Russian attack. With the declaration of emergency, Ukraine has asked its 3 million people to leave Russia immediately. On Wednesday, Russia carried out a cyberattack on Ukrainian banks and important websites like defence, foreign, internal security.
