Deepening crisis in Ukraine

The Hindu  

Even as the Russian army is making steady military advances into eastern and southern parts of Ukraine, there are ominous signs of the conflict evolving into a bigger war. Putin told Guterres that the talks with Ukraine would continue virtually but cast doubts about a “security agreement” being reached any time soon given the western-backed leadership’s outright refusal to concede Moscow’s primary demand for the recognition of the Crimean Peninsula as part of the Russian Federation and the acknowledgement that the two Russian-speaking Donbas republics had seceded from the Ukrainian state. Speaking after his visit to Kyiv, Austin said that the U.S.’ goal now was to ensure that Russia was so “militarily weakened” that it would no longer pose a threat to any of its neighbours. While addressing Russian MPs on April 27, Putin warned the West that there would be a “lightning quick response” from Russia to western meddling in Ukraine. Suspension of gas supplies The Russian government made its toughest response yet against the West since the conflict in Ukraine escalated when it announced in the last week of April the “complete suspension” of gas supplies to Poland and Bulgaria with immediate effect.
