BharatShakti Editor Brig SK Chatterji (Retd) had an interaction with Brig Arun Sahgal (Retd) regarding the Ukraine War. The discussion was focused on current developments.
The prime focus of the discussion was on the ceasefire that could lead to possible talks between the Russians and the Ukrainians in the search for peace in the region.
The discussion revealed that with the Russians having garnered a favourable situation for them, they are unlikely to be very accommodating. A lot will possibly depend on what the Americans can give them in order to arrive at a solution that is largely adequate.
The discussion also involved the deployment of an UN lead Peace Keeping Force, once the ceasefire has taken effect. However, its constituent countries could be a contentious issue for Russians. India possibly has the best reputation and capability to undertake the role.
The Ukrainian elections are also due, though the country is under martial law. Along with the elections being unpredictable, as of now, is the future of Zelenskyy?
The discussion veered to probable situations that could emerge in Ukraine in the next few months.
