Russia Ukraine Crisis News Live News: Amid the intense ongoing Russian offensive in several Ukrainian cities, the US has announced that it will ban Russian flights from entering American airspace. The decision was announced by US President Joe Biden in his State of the Union speech. Apart from the airspace ban, Biden also categorically stated that going forward, the US administration will also target the Oligarchs, who have close links with the Kremlin. The airspace ban comes after a similar restriction was imposed by the European Union. While the pressure is mounting on Russian President Vladmir to stop the biggest military assault that Europe has seen since World War II, the on-ground realities are starkly different.
Now, reports are coming in from Kharkiv, the second largest Ukrainian city, that Russian paratroopers have landed in the region. In related development, the 64-km-long convoy is still on its way to Kyiv.
In more simpler timelines, this would mean that even though the world community is trying to dissuade Putin with sanctions, boycotts and military aid to Ukraine, the so-called ‘special military operations’ have not halted.
The boycott by private corporate giants continues with Nike and Boeing joining the list. Reports from Moscow suggest that Nike products are not available for online shoppers. A message on the site says that the deliveries to Russia can’t be promised. Similarly, aviation giant Boeing has said that it will suspend all its operations in Moscow with immediate effect.
Circling back to what Biden announced today, now there’s a growing chorus amid the American politicians to suspend Russian oil import. If this happens, it will be a major blow for Putin.
Back home, the Narendra Modi government has decided to intensify the efforts to bring back the Indian students stuck in Ukraine. Latest government updates say that no Indian is left in Kyiv. In the next 3 days, New Delhi will operate 26 flights to evacuate all Indians. As per the government data, 12,000 Indians have been evacuated so far.
