Russia and Ukraine

1 September 2022

The Soviet Union broke into many states on 25 December 1991, and many states of the Western area of Russia joined NATO and European Union. Mikhail Gorbachev broke U.S.S.R. Boris Yeltsin could not unite. Putin is trying his best to unite old states which left U.S.S.R. Read youtube analysis in Hindi language by DW News.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3C28eDoQmU

"Despite his falling popularity, Mr. Yeltsin won re-election in 1996 with the support of oligarchs and media barons, presenting other options as a “return to totalitarianism”."

If Russia did invade, how far the west go to protect Ukraine.

How strong is the West's resolve when it comes to Ukraine? A steady diet of diplomacy so far failing to lift the uncertainty over Vladimir Putin's true intentions when it comes to those 100-thousand troops amassed at the border. After Kiev, Germany's new foreign minister in Moscow this Tuesday. What does Annalena Baerbock bring to the table. She is a Green in a coalition led by the Social Democrats. How far will Olaf Scholz push? Will the new chancellor - seen here at NATO headquarters - ultimately green light the Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline that bypasses Ukraine and links Russia to Western Europe via his predecessor's home constituency on the Baltic Sea? How hard will Germany and the rest of the EU come down in case of another Russian invasion? That depends on Washington's resolve: with most international transactions in dollars, would the US treasury go so far as to freeze Russia out of the system? What contingencies has the Kremlin made in case the nuclear option plays out? In the end, can Vladimir Putin bypass the yankee dollar?

Biden and Putin on Ukraine

Ukraine 

 1. “George,” Putin said, “you have to understand that Ukraine is not even a country. Part of its territory is in Eastern Europe and the greater part was given to us.” In July of this year, Putin elaborated extensively on this theme in a long treatise entitled “On the Historical Unity of Russians and Ukrainians,” in which he insisted on the cultural and religious unity of Russians and Ukrainians and blamed the West for trying to pry Ukraine away from Russia. His central point: “We are one people.” Angela Stent, Dec. 6, 2021, Foreign Affairs, "Diplomacy, and Ambiguity can avert a crisis in Ukraine. Talk with Putin and keep him guessing".

"U.S.-Russian relations have always been a mix of cooperation and confrontation. Washington can continue to push back against Moscow’s aggressive moves directed against Ukraine while also being prepared to restart negotiations on a way forward. That dynamic of push and pull was how the United States and the Soviet Union dealt with each other during the Cold War, and it remains a possible model for steadying the tense contemporary U.S.-Russian relationship.

Of course, if the Kremlin does invade Ukraine, this model will no longer be relevant. The Euro-Atlantic region will instead be thrust into a new, dangerous period of confrontation".

2. David E. Sanger and Eric Schmitt. Dec. 6, 2021. "Biden expected to offer warnings and alternative in call with Putin". The New York Times. "In the briefing for reporters, the senior administration official also said there had been a “significant spike in social media pushing Russian propaganda” that followed the pattern of Russian actions in 2014, just before the invasion and annexation of Crimea. The Kremlin sees Ukrainians as “one people” with Russians, living in a failing state controlled by Western forces determined to divide and conquer the post-Soviet world. Ukraine, by contrast, ousted a Russia-friendly president in 2014 and increasingly is in favor of binding the country to Western institutions."  https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/06/us/politics/biden-putin-call-ukraine.html

3. Putin visits India on 6 December 2021 and meets Narender Bhai Modi. It contrasts meeting with Biden.   https://www.facebook.com/Vedicteacher/posts/4793231400756499
