The Dhaka Times Desk The European Union is taking a stronger position against the challenge that Russian President Vladimir Putin has thrown to include parts of Ukraine in Russia!
EU leaders are meeting to take diplomatic, military and political action. Ukrainian President Zelensky, on the other hand, claimed that his forces had captured parts of Kherson. Last Friday, Putin signed an agreement to capture Kherson. But now there is a doubt that any part of these regions has been occupied by Russia. Yesterday, the Russian parliament passed the proposal to join four regions of Ukraine with Russia.
Several events of the past week have created new challenges for Europe and the Western world. Russian President Putin has announced the unilateral incorporation of the occupied territories of Ukraine into Russia. In response to this incident, Ukraine quickly applied to join the military alliance NATO. That country's army is succeeding in bringing under control more parts of the Russian-held territory. The mysterious attack on the Nord Stream gas pipeline has also called into question the safety of Europe's critical infrastructure.
Get ready for Russia: A European Union summit is scheduled to be held in the Czech Republic's capital Prague on Friday to discuss such a changing situation. There will also be talks about continuing economic, military and financial support for Ukraine. At the same time, the EU leaders want to decide several other measures to save the common people of Europe from the abnormal increase in the price of fuel and electricity. In the wake of attacks on two Nord Stream pipelines, pressure is also mounting to strengthen the protection of critical infrastructure in the Baltic Sea and elsewhere in Europe.
European countries are already stepping up efforts to increase pressure on Russia. Several EU countries have also begun summoning Russian ambassadors to protest the illegal seizure of Ukrainian territory. Following diplomatic moves by Germany, Italy, Austria and Denmark, other countries are expected to follow suit this week.
French President Emmanuel Macron spoke to President Zelensky on the phone last Sunday and assured the country of continued assistance and support. Germany, Denmark and Norway have made a joint decision to supply 16 more armored howitzer artillery systems to Ukraine. Also, these three countries will bear the price of 92 million Euros to supply Slovakia-made 'Juzuna-2' guns to Ukraine. But it will not be possible to deliver those guns before next year. The announcement came after German Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht visited Ukraine for the first time over the weekend.
Ukrainian President Zelensky has demanded the recovery of two areas of the Russian occupied Kherson region from the hands of Russian forces. The localities are Arkhanhelsk and Myrolivka. Zelensky gave this information about their progress in the war in a regular speech on Sunday night. However, there was no immediate response from Russia. Earlier, Zelensky said in his speech, the success of the Ukrainian forces will not be limited only to Lyman in the Donetsk region.
