The massive armed invasion of Ukraine has no parallel in modern times. The first reason was being surrounded by Nato, then Ukraine was neither a member of Nato nor is one till date. There is no internal revolt nor has Ukraine launched even a covert attack on Russia or acted provocatively. UN has failed to tame Russia. Nations like India have abstained from voting. Others have used veto to stall the will of UN. The crossing of sovereign borders and annexation by a sham referendum is disgusting precedent. China has done similarly and quietly, but India is in denial mode adopting diplomacy. The idea that the West is indirectly providing arms that escalates the war is untenable. Russia by its expansionist action and military might is setting a bad precedent for China, North Korea may act likewise sensing impotency of world powers. The third world war with tactical nuclear weapons may be an dangerous option for a desperate Putin to salvage his personal lost pride and glory. The determination and zeal of Ukrainians to take on the might of Russians is admirable.
