The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine was debated in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday. Four federal ministers Hardeep Singh Puri, Kiren Rijiju, Jyotiraditya Scindia, and Gen VK Singh who travelled to Ukraine’s neighboring nations as Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s special envoys during the evacuation attempt took part in the debate.
After months of preparation, Russia launched a full-fledged invasion of Ukraine on February 24. It is insisting that pro-European Union Kyiv maintain its neutrality. Moscow has also pushed Kyiv to withdraw its request to join NATO, a military alliance of Western countries.
Living in the shadow of Russia, Ukraine has long voiced a desire to join NATO in order to protect itself from any nation’s aggression. However, Russia has hinted at agreeing to the proposal despite its strong military incursion in Ukraine, which has resulted in brutal mass deaths and the displacement of millions of people.
