Russian forces in Ukraine


Around 3,000 Americans have volunteered to fight Russian forces in Ukraine. Since Russia began its invasion on February 24, the officials of Ukraine have urged foreign volunteers to help the country in fighting the Russian forces.

This comes as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced on March 3, the formation of an "international legion" of 16,000 foreign volunteers, who were asked to join the defence of Ukraine, Europe and the world.

According to a report by Kyiv's embassy in Washington, joining the International Legion is legal for Americans in most circumstances. The representative from Kyiv's embassy in Washington told VOA News that the volunteers have responded to Ukraine's appeal for people to fight against the Russian forces.

Reportedly, many volunteers have stepped forward from other countries too. Many countries have also provided weapons to Ukraine to fight the Russian forces trying to invade Ukraine.

Reportedly, several hundred volunteers have already arrived in Ukraine. The United Kingdom's foreign secretary Liz Truss said that she supported British individuals who want to go and fight the Russian forces in Ukraine.

Earlier, the European Union (EU) also imposed economic sanctions against Russia and Russian oligarchs and leaders. The United States (US) government also imposed sanctions on two Russian banks, Moscow's sovereign debt, and several other measures.

Russia is continuously making advances in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Ukraine is witnessing intense fighting between the Russian and Ukrainian troops.

On Day 9 of Russia’s war with Ukraine, the Russian authorities took control of Europe's largest nuclear power plant in Ukraine. Reportedly, a fire also broke out at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant after it was shelled by Russian troops. Zelenskyy accused Russia of “nuclear terror”.

In 2021, Russia began deploying big numbers of troops close to Ukraine's borders. However, the country denied its intentions of invading Ukraine. Subsequently, the US President Joe Biden warned that Russia may invade Ukraine.

-
The visit of H.H Sheik Khaled bin Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi to India is more than just a mere ceremonial occasion; this visit stands as a clear testimony of the longevity and dynamism of UAE-India relations. This association has become complex over time involving not just the economy but also major concerns such as sustainable development, trade, climate action etc. The dynamic relationship between the two nations has been redefined from their historical links into contemporary strategic alliances which makes this visit a natural follow-on from long-standing ties. Relationship between UAE and India are very historical in nature that started during the time when Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan was the founder of UAE, whereby his coming to India in 1975 established strong cultural and diplomatic ties. This has been done through several high-profile exchanges including the signing of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Agreement in 2017 which made these...

The UAE's AI Ambitions Get a Boost with Nvidia Chip Approval: A Game-Changer for the Gulf Region.

-
The advance made by the United States in the approval of cutting-edge Nvidia chips to G42 is a historic development for UAE’s artificial intelligence ambitions. This strategy thus not only represents significant technological growth but also marks an important political milestone for UAE that wants to portray itself as a global hub for technology. In particular, accessing advanced AI technologies such as Nvidia’s H100 models has been significantly hindered over the years due to fears about UAE-China relations, with the US tightening its export restrictions in the area. However, this recent endorsement—a fact which received little attention—shows that there is now greater strategic flexibility and demonstrates how committed UAE is towards ensuring it stays clear from any possible Chinese influence if it wants to become one of our most reliable partners. The timing for G42’s bold distribution of these Nvidia chips could not be better. With worldwide AI rivalry heating up after the advent...
