Western Powers Back Ukraine in Fight Against Russia as Tensions Escalate on Ukrainian Front

During the G-7 meeting in Apulia, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky secured significant support from the United States-led European Union. This backing includes a substantial aid package and military hardware aimed at targeting Russia’s logistics base in Crimea. With France ready to put troops on the ground, the UK supplying long-range missiles, and the US providing artillery systems, tensions on the Ukraine front are expected to escalate in the coming days.

Zelensky’s successful meeting with leaders of big western powers at the summit resulted in a USD 50 billion aid package and USD 225 million in approved military hardware from the US Congress. The assistance is focused on exposing vulnerabilities in Russian President Vladimir Putin’s presence in Crimea. On the sidelines of the summit, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had a positive meeting with President Zelensky and received assurances from US President Joe Biden about Washington’s commitment to a strong relationship with India amid challenges posed by a rising China in the Indo-Pacific region.

In response to this support for Ukraine, Russian President Putin has threatened to supply weapons to nations and asymmetrical forces opposed to the US-led coalition. The situation remains unstable due to ongoing conflicts such as Israeli war in Gaza. Putin has not ruled out using nuclear weapons if he perceives his country’s sovereignty is under threat, further increasing global tension.
