Expansion

Russian forces rained rockets on Ukraine’s second largest city Kharkiv and surrounding areas on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. At least 15 people were killed and 16 were injured. It is being told that Russia’s intention behind this attack is to force the Ukrainian army to defend the city by withdrawing it from the main battlefield.

Normal life was getting back on track in Kharkiv, but the worst attack of the past few weeks has worsened the situation again. Last month, the Ukrainian army expelled Russian forces from here. Ukrainian officials say houses on the outskirts of the city have also been destroyed.

Ukrainian President’s adviser Oleksey Eretovich said in a video address that the Russian attacks were similar to those carried out on Mariupol. Their goal is to scare people. If he continues to do so, we will have to react. For this we have to bring the army to the cities.

In relation to the attack on Russia’s Novoshkhtinsk oil refinery, located just eight kilometers from the Donbass border in Ukraine, the news agency Tas said, the attack was carried out with a drone. The area is occupied by pro-Russian Alvatists.

White House said on buying oil from Russia – America attaches importance to bilateral relations with India

The White House has said that India is a very important partner of America in the strategically important Indo-Pacific region. He said, the US attaches importance to bilateral relations with India, given that it also has relations with Russia.

White House spokesman John Kirby said that with regard to Russia, each country has to make its own decision. There are many ways in which this partnership represents itself financially, both in defense and security, he said. When asked about the Indian decision to buy oil from Russia, he said, “It is a sovereign decision.”

But we want to put as much pressure on Russia as possible at the international level. All I can say is that we attach importance to bilateral relations with India. Let us tell you, India has not yet condemned the Russian attack on Ukraine and is pressing for a solution through diplomatic means to stop the violence.
