Due to the tension in Russia and Ukraine, the world, which has come to the verge of war, brought relief news from Paris. Both the countries have agreed on ceasefire. However, this ceasefire is temporary. Diplomatic efforts are still going on to avert the war, but many questions are still swirling in the minds of the common people. For example, will Russia still attack Ukraine? If there is a war, will it be limited to the borders or will it reach the cities too? Will this threaten other countries? Why would Putin want to postpone the war till February 20?
Even after the ceasefire, if there is a war in Russia-Ukraine, then the third world war can start. After jumping into this war of NATO, the eyes of the whole world are fixed on this issue. We have selected 7 such questions. Let’s try to get to the bottom of it here.
1. Will Russia be able to attack
Ukraine, BBC journalist Paul Adams, who returned after taking stock of the situation in Ukraine, says – the hope is that the war can still be avoided. If Russia persists, it also has a good idea of what the consequences will be. Putin knows that if the scope of the war increases, then China will not openly support him. America and NATO’s Russia will compete with military might, but its destruction on the economic front will be stamped.
The step taken by Putin to change the constitution to become the President for life, this issue will arise again and he will have to pay a political price within the country. Obviously they also know all these things. So till now only threats are being given.
2. The war will be on the borders or will reach the cities
. According to a report, Ukraine became the largest country after Russia after the breakup of the Soviet Union. If there is a war, it will be confined to the frontiers, no one can guarantee that. The reason is that Ukraine will also have international partners such as the US and NATO in the war. If the pressure on Russia increases, then it can also target the cities of Ukraine. He will try to destroy her financially and militarily. But, the presence of NATO and the US may prevent it from doing so. Anti-tank missiles and air defense systems have already been deployed in Kiev. However, Russia is pressurizing Ukraine from three sides.
In December, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zesensky visited the frontline posts.
3. According to ‘The Vogue’, how many people would be killed if there was an attack
– this question is very important and it is difficult to answer. In 2014, Russia annexed Crimea by attacking Ukraine. Since then, 14,000 Ukrainians have been killed in some form of war. Among them are soldiers and also common people. Russia has 29 lakh soldiers and Ukraine has only 11 lakh soldiers. There will be a huge loss of life and property to both the countries. Then if the fire reaches the urban areas, its consequences will be even more dire. There are many organizations in Ukraine that have geared up to act as frontline workers. How will they remain safe?

4. How many countries will be affected if there is a war
, Paul Adams of the BBC considers it a big threat. According to him, if the war started, it would be a big mistake to assume that it would be confined to the borders of Russia and Ukraine. Its heat can reach the Baltic countries like Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia. These are very peaceful countries and their military strength is also not special. In the event of war, these countries will look to America and NATO allies for protection. However, there is no doubt that America and NATO have a lot of ability to control Russia in the event of war.

5. Is Russia afraid of NATO or anything else
Defense expert Rosenberg writes in the New York Times – US Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s question is absolutely valid. He asked Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov last week – only 6% of Russia’s borders are such that it shares with NATO countries. Is this a threat to your national security? Leave it also, Russia sells dangerous missile defense systems like S-400 to many NATO countries like Turkey, that is, it has very good relations with these countries. Actually, Putin’s intention is not to fight, but to infiltrate and form a Russian-backed government in Ukraine. Putin thinks that this will prevent NATO from reaching its borders.

6. Will Putin postpone the war till February 20
According to a report of ‘The Diplomat’, Russia and China have good relations. Putin also changed the constitution to become president forever, and in China, Xi Jinping did the same. The Winter Olympic Games are to be held in China from February 4 to 20. If war breaks out, many European countries can boycott these games. This will tarnish the image of China, Jinping’s dominance will be reduced. Therefore, it is believed that Putin will not take the risk of disfiguring China and angering his friend Jinping.
On the other hand, America and NATO will use this time to find a diplomatic solution as well as prepare for war. China’s silence also means that it has sent a message to Russia. One more thing, China does not always risk direct confrontation or war. His focus is the economy.

7. Has Putin made the biggest mistake
American defense expert Robert Schulz says – remember Donald Trump’s era. Because of his attitude, all NATO allies turned away from America. When Biden came, he again launched a campaign to unite NATO. The aim was to stop China on every front. When Putin planned an attack on Ukraine, every country in Europe felt that they would also be threatened in the future. So, Biden got the kind of swoon because of Putin’s intentions, because NATO countries again came under the American umbrella in full force. Now the danger will be more for China and Russia, because there is no doubt in it whether it is economy or military power. Even today there is no competition between America and NATO.
