Will There Be A World War 3? This question has arisen due to rising conflicts across geopolitical regions. In the 21st century, war is not a solution to resolve conflicts between countries. It is a common concept of a layman that war destroys world peace. Historically, World War I and II caused the loss of thousands of human lives and wiped out whole cities due to nuclear blasts.
Last week, Russia invaded the Ukraine border armed with a heavy supply of weapons and bombarded heavily public places.
Ukraine Russia Conflicts
Ukraine citizens and international students were forced to evacuate their commodities and have taken shelter safely.
In contrast, those left behind take shelter in subway places and seek help. It feels like Will Putin gave orders to press the nuclear button. Is this conflict evolving into World War III?
On 27 Feb, Putin ordered his army to move into a particular mode of combat duty. This meant that nuclear weapons were ready and launch able. This should not be a possibility. But if this happens, then the whole World will have a war with Russia, and Russia will be left alone with no trading with the world.
Why Russia-Ukraine crisis has not been resolved? Why nuclear war fear is not resolved?
Emerging War
According to Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Russia has started a war by occupying Ukraine’s border and is affecting the main parts of the country. Russian positioning troops are advancing day by day through artillery and tanks. Missiles were thrown at Ukraine’s military centers and airports.
Russian army attack helicopters drifted above Kyiv, and combatants fought by the Chornobyl nuclear power plant. In 1986, the meltdown of the nuclear plant turned the fertile land barren, and Ukraine lost its essential wealth due to Russia. Because of this and many conflicts, a Ukrainian government minister, Yuliia Laputina, in 2021 foretold that if Russia invaded Ukraine fully, then World War III could be started.
Russian and Ukraine Friends and Allies
In this conflict, Putin can face worse results from Europe. If NATO supporters keep to their agreement commitments and Russian troops keep counterfeiting ahead, then Eastern Europe will turn against Russia.
On the west side of Ukraine are Slovakia, Hungary, and Poland. All three are members of NATO, and assault in these three countries will be considered an attack on all NATO associates, which includes the UK and the US.
These three nations have united against Putin’s vision of occupying Ukraine. Poland is preparing hospitals for injured Ukrainians who are escaping from the emerging war.
The Polish government has also shown its harmony by advising NATO to encourage its army in the East in response to Russia’s military breach. Leader of Hungary Victor Orban (a previous admirer of Putin) has now aligned with other European members and is on the verge of disturbing Russia financially.
The Slovak government approved the reinforcement of its fighters to the Ukrainian border and permitted migrants to take refuge in their country. In the beginning, Belarus remained silent (neutral) and did not respond to the overall situation, as the north of Ukraine was once allies of Russia. It has been reported that Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko respected that alliance and gave Russian troops access to Estonia, Lithuania, and Latvia in the Cold War.
Soviet Union
These three states in 1991 were seized during World War II by Stalin by breaking the Soviet Union. However, all three countries united in 2004 by joining the West Side and Nato.
Finland is neither a neighbor nor a NATO member but has the full support of Ukraine, as Sanna Marin stated. Russia is not allowed to violate International laws by breaching and threatening civilian life. Whether a NATO member or not, Kyiv calls, Ukraine is putting all effort into the Russian military to their own country. So, he is pushing back and fighting back continuously.
Ukraine’s nuclear power plant suffered a meltdown in 1986 in Chornobyl.
Russia-Ukraine news is daily and every time, giving us flashes of the present situation on both sides. Putin has even posed a threat to all Ukraine supporters. It delivered a message that Western countries will face grim consequences. These kinds of menacing threats gave a vibe of a nuclear attack and posed a question: Will There Be A World War 3?
All Russian banking apps have crashed. Ukraine news channels are giving updates on the present scenario. Negotiations of (1st March 2022) show no favorable conclusion after five hours of a long conversation between the two countries’ authorities.
Former deputy supreme commander of NATO, General Sir Richard Shirreff. He stated that if Russian military forces invaded the former Soviet states (France, Germany (Nazis), UK). Then there is a possibility that Europe will turn against Russia and soon be at war. According to him, the forests of Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia will be the first line of defense.
China is the biggest supporter of Russia and has criticized the US for pushing the panorama of war. Asian countries are neutral in foreign affairs and do not want to risk their trading collaboration with the US and European countries.
Russia considers itself a superpower
War with Russia is also not an easy option. Russia faces blame for cyber-attacks in many countries. It has trained hackers who can hack any bank, android app, or internet anywhere. Russia is vital in many ways. On the Ukraine news channel, all reporters are giving news of people protesting worldwide and advising them to stop the war and give peace a chance. Ukraine people are making petrol bombs in glass bottles. They are preparing to defend their country. Russian bombing is killing innocent lives and soldiers at Ukraine’s borders.
CONCLUSION
So far, the emerging war has forced International people and citizens of Ukraine to take thousands of refugees to Poland. Many countries are trying to move their people to the safest place. There would be no safe place to hide and seek help from associates. At this point, the United Nations is pressuring Putin to end the war and again give a chance to peace negotiations. In my opinion, there should not be a World War III.
