Russia Ukraine War March 23 Latest news: As the Russia-Ukraine War completes a month tomorrow, it is very clear that the swift ‘special military operations’ launched by Russian President Vladimir Putin has completely gone off-charts. Various reports from the Western intel agencies have suggested that the Russian offensive is stalled and yet to make any significant gains despite carpet bombing of major Ukrainian cities, something that Europe has not seen since the World War II days. While the port city of Mariupol has been completely turned into ashes, capital Kyiv is still standing with Ukraine claiming that it has retaken nearby areas from the Russian forces. As the world watches the events unfolding, here are top updates on the Russia-Ukraine war that you should know:
1: In an interview to CNN, Putin’s confidant Dmitry Peskov said that Russia will use nuclear weapons in case it faces an ‘existential threat’. This is not the first time that Moscow has signalled its readiness to use nuclear weapons. Back in February, Putin had also said that Russia will respond to anyone who stands in its way.
2: An AP report says that Russia has destroyed a lab at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in its latest offensive. The lab was a new addition to the plant that was built to help in managing the radioactive waste in an efficient manner. Ukrainian officials say that the radionuclides at the Chernobyl lab are now in ‘enemy’s hands’. The radionuclides are the unstable atoms of chemical elements that release radiation. Another worrying development is that the radiation monitors installed around the Chernobyl plant are not working.
