Russia has deployed troops in two breakaway regions in eastern Ukraine after recognising them as independent on Monday, accelerating a crisis the West fears could unleash a major war. The United States has warned Russia that the consequences of its actions “will be dire – across Ukraine, across Europe, and across the globe”. Russia, on the other hand, said it is open to diplomacy but wouldn’t allow “a new bloodbath in the Donbas,” urging the United States and other Western nations to not worsen the situation.
Meanwhile, four additional flights have been announced on top of the three special Air India flights on Feb 22 (today), Feb 24 and Feb 26 to bring back Indians from Ukraine. Other airlines such as Air Arabia, Fly Dubai, and Qatar Airways are also operating their routine flights from Ukraine to India.
