24-Hour Helpline For Indians In Ukraine Indians in Ukraine who need information and assistance can contact the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, or MEA, which has set up a dedicated control room. Russian forces have entered breakaway eastern Ukraine areas and Ukraine has closed its airspace. An Air India flight going to Ukraine to bring home Indians is also returning to Delhi. In a statement, the MEA said India’s embassy in Ukraine has set up a 24-hour helpline. “We are closely monitoring the rapidly changing situation. Our focus is on safety and security of Indians, particularly students. The MEA control room is being expanded and made operational on 24x7 basis,” a source.
Indian Air Force chief Air Chief Marshal Vivek Ram Chaudhari on Thursday said no single service can win wars on its own, and integration should focus on tapping into the strength of each service to maximise the country’s combat capability. Integration of the armed forces to enhance their effectiveness and reshape the conduct of future operations is a top priority for the government. While Chaudhari backed tri-
service integration, he stressed “the primacy of who will do what cannot be determined by a pro rata system of who has a larger mass of forces or equipment.” The IAF chief was speaking on Aerospace Power: Future Challenges at the Jumbo Majumdar International Seminar. “The thought process must change and it would be important to appreciate the capabilities of each service to make two plus two equal five,” Chaudhari said. The IAF chief was driving home the point that
defence minister said some Russian forces had been taken prisoner in heavy fighting.

Tamilian Heart Travels 350 Km To Become A Kashmiri Woman’s A 33-year-old woman in Jammu and Kashmir who has been suffering from terminal heart failure received help from an 18-year-old donor in Tamil Nadu, who was brain dead.

We are expecting for much more favourable attitude of the Indian government.” Defending its land against Russian invasion, Ukraine has urged India for support in the time of crisis. “At the present moment, we’re asking and pleading for support of India. In this case of an aggression by a totalitarian regime against democratic state, India should fully assume its global role. Modi ji is one of the most powerful and respected leaders in the world,” he added. Earlier in the day, India called for a
complete de-escalation between Russia and Ukraine at the United Nations Security Council meet that was convened as Putin’s forces targeted military command centres in Ukrainian capital Kyiv and Kharkiv. TS Trimurti, India’s permanent representative to the UNSC, said, “The situation is in danger of spiralling into a major crisis. If not handled carefully,
it may undermine security. The security of all parties should be taken into account.” Remember, Russia yesterday hailed India’s approach in the ongoing Ukrainian crisis. “We welcome the independent position India has taken in the UN Security Council twice already [and] which was expressed openly by the Indian external affairs minister.

An Air India aircraft flying to Ukraine to bring home Indians turned back for Delhi after Ukraine said it has closed its airspace amid Russian military operations in its eastern breakaway areas. Thousands of Indians are waiting to fly back home from Ukraine amid a conflict with Russia. Russian President Vladimir Putin this morning
allowed Russian special forces to operate in two separatist areas in Ukraine, which Russia on Monday recognised as independent nations. The Air India flight decided to turn back to Delhi after a NOTAM, or notice to airmen, was sent to all flights heading to Ukraine. The government said alternate evacuation routes are being activated. With large-scale military operations unfolding in eastern Ukraine, commercial flights
would be at a very high risk due to the chaotic nature of the airspace, which would likely be crowded with military antiaircraft activity. A Malaysia Airlines flight was shot down in July 2014, killing all 298 people on board, during heavy fighting between Ukraine’s armed forces and pro-Russian separatists. Investigators still suspect the aircraft was downed by a Russian-made BUK anti-aircraft missile fired from eastern Ukraine.

There Is Still Time For Initiating Dilomatic Negotiations Between Putin And Biden The confrontation over Ukraine between Russia and the United States has reached adecisive stage with President Putin recognizing the two breakaway regions Donetsk andLuhansk and soon after President Joe Biden announcing strong sanctions aimed at crippling the leading Russian banks and the financial institutions. The U.S. and the NATO aim at themoment is to drastically weaken the economic power of Russia so that Putin is forced toscale down his demands.President Putin is no diplomatic fool. He certainly has his own calculations because it hasbeen known since the beginning of the current crisis that President Biden will be imposingstricter sanctions to adversely affect the Russian economy and its energy interests in Europeonce the Russian President takes some unilateral decision precipitating the crisis. TheRussians may have worked out their emergency plan since the nature of the economicsanctions announced on Tuesday by the US president were already the talking points in thediplomatic circles last weekIt can be recalled here that in 2013-2014, there was a similar crisis when President Putinordered annexation of Crimea ignoring the warning by the anti- Russian Ukraine President.This was done after the referendum in which the majority of the Crimeans voted in favour ofacceding to Russia. The US government and NATO allies also at that time stood with theUkraine President who took power after overthrowing the pro-Russian president earlier. Thecrisis intensified but the Russian control of Crimea continued. Neither the Ukrainegovernment nor the NATO could alter the position.The two NATO members France and Germany were worried at the deterioration of situationin Ukraine and due to their efforts an agreement was signed first on September 4, 2014 inBelarus capital Minsk. Significantly, the signatories were also the unrecognized republics oftwo separatist regions Donetsk and Luhansk who have got official recognition by Russia onTuesday. The draft agreement stipulated cease fire and devolution of powers to these tworegions by Ukraine Government. Unfortunately, the agreement collapsed as the pro-Russianseparatists suddenly took over Donetsk airport. This was some unexpected development, itwas not in the Russian plan, but it happened and torpedoed the understanding.But the gravity of the situation was such that France and Germany which had vital interestsin the concerned areas dominated by the separatists as also energy reserves in other areasof Ukraine continued their efforts and with concurrence of the US President Barrack Obamaarrived at an understanding in February 2015 again on a more elaborate agreementstipulating ceasefire and holding of elections for local governance. This agreement is stillvalid though no major initiative was not taken in the last seven years to implement this 2015Minsk 2 accord.If the US thinks that the latest sanctions, though more severe, compared to the sanctions imposed in 2014, are adequate to bring Putin to the negotiating table, they are wrong. Russia has gone through many such sanctions earlier. The western media is talking ofcrumbling Russian economy and Putin arousing Russian nationalism through war mongeringagainst Ukraine and NATO, but that does not depict the real picture. Moscow was far moreweak in 2014, 2015 compared to now 2022. The Russian foreign exchange reserves andgold totalled more than 600 billion at the end of January this year and the Russian centralbank has already taken precautionary measures to deal with the sanctions including thestoppage of transactions by the Russian banks in Europe. While Russian economy willcertainly be hit for the time being, the European countries like France and Germany will alsohave to be prepared for a volatility in their exchange and economy. France is going forpresidential elections in April this year. President Macron who is most prominent leader of aNATO nation in working for a peace formula, cannot afford to invite a turmoil in France onthe eve of elections. He will do his utmost to continue diplomatic initiative.Interestingly Putin, though a strident anti-communist now, is getting support from the officialCommunist Party of Russia which has gone all out to support Russian moves against’ fascistUkraine Government’. This stance has something to do with Russian nationalism andnothing to do with anti-imperialism. It seems that the Soviet CP also shares Putin view ofbringing back the great days of Russian domination in Eurasia. China, - Kapilkumar M. Hirpara however is keeping.

Agency News:New Delhi The Supreme Court has said that grounds like “there was a love affair” between the girl and the accused and there was alleged “refusal to marry” will have no bearing on the grant of bail in the POCSO case. A bench of Justices DY Chandrachud and Surya Kant set aside the order of a single judge of Jharkhand High Court granting bail to an accused in a case registered under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act 2012 and IPC. It said, “The High Court was manifestly in error in allowing the application for bail. The reason that from the statement under Section 164 and the averments
in the FIR, it appears that ‘there was a love affair’ between the appellant and the second respondent and that the case was instituted on the refusal of the second respondent to marry the appellant, is specious”. The bench said, “Once, prima facie, it appears from the material before the Court that the appellant was barely thirteen years of age on the date when the alleged offence took place, both the grounds, namely that ‘there was a love affair’ between the appellant (girl) and the second respondent (accused) as well as the alleged refusal to marry, are circumstances which will have no bearing on the grant of bail”. The bench in its order passed on Monday said.

‘Google my name’: Priyanka Chopra reacts to comedian’s ‘public apology’ after assuming she’s Deepak Chopra’s daughter Agency News: Mumbai Couple of days back, American comedian Rosie O’Donnell apologised to global star Priyanka Chopra Jonas through social media for mistaking her to be the daughter of author Deepak Chopra. The former Miss World has now reacted to the same. In a statement shared on her Instagram stories, Chopra Jonas wrote, “Hi everyone. Some thoughts... I have never taken myself no seriously to think everyone would know who I am, or my work for that manner. But if you wanted to make a public apology for a very awkward private encounter, I think probably best to take the time to google my name before doing it or even try to reach out directly. We ALL deserve to be respected for our unique individuality and not be referred to as “someone” or “wife” especially in a sincere apology. If we can learn to respect our differences in an authentic way, the world we raise our children in, will be amazing.

Agency News: Mumbai Madhuri Dixit will soon be seen in the role of superstar Anamika Anand in The Fame Game. This Karan Johar backed series showcases a Bollywood icon whose seemingly perfect life comes under scanner after she disappears. Filmmaker Sri Rao is its showrunner and writer. It is jointly directed by Bijoy Nambiar and Karishma Kohli. It will start streaming from March 25 on Netflix. In a media interaction, Madhuri answered a volley of questions. Excerpts: Anamika Anand is a star in the show while you are a megastar in real life... Anamika Anand is a big star, and she is very famous. She has a perfect life and a perfect family. So I think in that sense she is a star. I’m a star in real life. Her relationship with her family is very different, and mine is very different in real life. Her relationship with her husband or her dynamics with her children is different. She is like a tigress to her children. She loves them a lot whenever they are subjected to any problems because of her fame. This series has a second side of fame depicted which can be dangerous. So where and when she has disappeared is a big question mark. Nobody knows what has happened to her. It is at this point a question about her identity arises... who is she? Mother, daughter or wife? A mystery shrouds around her. Will you run away if you get a chance like her?I will never like to run away. I’m very happy with my life. But if I wish to go out, I love beaches. Any place which is surrounded with lovely beaches, where I can go along with my children, I would love it as I can relax over there to the fullest.
