Ukraine War: Test of Law and Civilizational Progress.

Live Law  

As I write this piece, Ukraine, a nation of 44 million free citizens fights valiantly to defend its freedom and territorial integrity against Putin's "war of choice for all the wrong reasons". Moscow's justification for 'demilitarization' of Ukraine as a measure of self-defence, through what it describes as 'special military operations' to prevent the former Soviet republics from moving into the US led NATO orbit, is an orchestrated case of invented injury to reclaim lost territory and restore the dented Russian prestige following the dismemberment of the erstwhile Soviet Union. Even though Putin's assertion that Ukraine cannot be treated as a state independent of Russia is a historical absurdity post 1991, his boastful challenge that "any country attempting to interfere will create consequences, you have never seen", has introduced a chilling dimension to a grim situation. Despite the formidable and vastly superior war machine at his command, Putin should know that in today's wired world, any act of injustice or brutality is bound to have global ramifications.
