The war between Ukraine and Russia has been making the world look back for the last few days. What is the potential problem for both countries? Ukraine is one of the largest countries in the Soviet Union. Russia considers Ukraine to be its own, as some territories are similar to Russia in language and culture. But the people of that country want to follow the same civilization, economy and democratic rights as Europe and other countries.
They therefore aspire to a life independent of the restrictive way of life of the former Soviet Union. Ukraine is afraid to live in the grip of Russia.
Ukraine is the fastest growing economy in the world. Ukraine is the 74th largest country in the world in terms of human resource development and is a major exporter of agricultural land. But Russia is a military-dominated country, with a republic and a single monarchy. So I do not want to join Russia because of poverty and unemployment here.
Russia is making every effort to keep the country in check, as it was in the old communist regime, as Western nations incite the democratic will of the people. The availability of natural gas and crude oil has given the government economic resources. Soviet-era military strength remains intact. So Russia is trying to prove that it is a superpower with these.
The situation is deteriorating to the point where the press fears that the Ukraine affair will lead to a bigger war than the first two world wars, the only reason being that both Ukraine and Russia have nuclear weapons. There were also fears that the two would use nuclear weapons in the event of a full-blown war. That is why the world is handling the Ukraine issue carefully.
Although the world-threatening corona epidemic is not yet over, the pathogens continue to evolve. The virus has revolutionized the daily life of the people due to the curfew. People are suffering from loss of livelihood. Some countries are serious about using this situation to achieve anything militarily.
In this situation, a control room has been set up in Chennai on the orders of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin to contact Tamil Nadu students stranded in Ukraine. The Chief Minister has personally visited and inspected this control room today. Also in the video call, the victim asked the student how the situation is now in Ukraine.
Arrangements are being made to rescue Ukraine as the Russian army is waging war and many Indians are trapped there.
The federal government is also taking serious action to secure their release. Similarly, it has been reported that about 5,000 students from Tamil Nadu, mostly vocational trainees and migrants are trapped there.
It is noteworthy that Chief Minister Stalin announced yesterday that the Tamil Nadu government would bear the travel expenses of the students returning home. In addition, the Tamil Nadu government has announced that students and those from Tamil Nadu who are stranded there should contact us immediately if they need any assistance. The helpline numbers have also been released.
It was asked to appoint liaison officers at the district, state and Delhi levels to assist in rescuing the students trapped there and bring them to Tamil Nadu. The students have been in touch since yesterday after the Tamil Nadu government released cell phone numbers for Ukrainian students to contact immediately.
It has been reported that about 1500 students from Ukraine have so far contacted the control center in Chennai. Students are briefed on the current situation in Ukraine and its impact. They are also telling information about the Tamils who are there. The Government of Tamil Nadu has informed that one can contact 044-28515288 / 6000 23645/99402 56444 and request assistance through the website www.nrtamils.tn.gov.in.
It is noteworthy that not only the number issued by the Government of Tamil Nadu, but also by cell phone and video call, the students are contacting the control room. The first person spoke directly to the students through a video call.He asked about the problems they are currently facing in Ukraine. He promised to bring everyone to Tamil Nadu soon and be brave.
