PM Modi’s bold initiative to step into Ukraine Peace Void. A Beacon of Hope Amid Chaos

As the Russia-Ukraine conflict approaches its third year, the global community faces the stark reality of a prolonged and devastating war with a potential & possibility to engulf others. Besides thousands of Military casualties on both sides, about 10,000 Ukrainian civilians, which include 576 Children, have been killed, and nearly 16 million Ukrainians have been displaced from their homes. A huge damage has been caused to the critical Ukrainian civil infrastructure including its power plants & energy grid due to continuous aerial bombardment from Russia. UNICEF reports that over 5 million children in Ukraine require urgent humanitarian assistance. While the ground reality in Ukraine remains dire, the global impact on world food and energy supplies is turning out to be enormous due to Russian blockades. This has specially hit developing countries very badly, including India, where food security is a critical issue already.
