It’s been a month since Russia’s invasion against Ukraine that has so far seen hundreds of civilians have been killed, hundreds more being injured and over lakhs of Ukrainians fleeing the country since being invaded by its neighbour on February 24 with the goal of thwarting its pro-Western course.
On the one-month anniversary of the Russian invasion, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called for solidarity, and, in a warning of sorts, said he would see who sells out at summits in Europe where bolstering sanctions and NATO is planned but restrictions on energy could prove divisive. The Ukrainian president also urged citizens around the world to take to the streets to stop Russia’s invasion. US President Joe Biden, meanwhile, is in Brussels for meetings of NATO, G7 and EU over the Russia-Ukraine war.
It was on February 24 when Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a “military operation” against Ukraine, claiming that it is intended to protect civilians. The invasion has so far taken hundreds of lives and led to damages of unmeasurable scale.

Chubais was one of the principal architects of Boris Yeltsin’s economic reforms of the 1990s and was Putin’s boss in the future president’s first Kremlin job. He held senior business and political jobs under Putin, lately serving as Kremlin special envoy to international organisations.
