MYKOLAIV, UKRAINE—Kateryna Nahorna is getting ready to find trouble.

Part of an all-female team of dog handlers, the 22-year-old is training Ukraine’s technical survey dogs—Belgian Malinois that have learned to sniff out explosives.

The job is huge. Ukraine is now estimated to be the most heavily mined country on Earth. Deminers must survey every area that saw sustained fighting for unexploded mines, missiles, artillery shells, bombs, and a host of other ordnance—almost 25 percent of the country, according to government estimates.

The dogs can cover 1,500 square meters a day. In contrast, human deminers cover 10 square meters a day on average—by quickly narrowing down the areas that manual deminers will need to tackle, the dogs save valuable time.

“This job allows me to be a warrior for my country … but without having to kill anyone,” said Nahorna. “Our men protect us at war, and we do this to protect them at home.”

A highly practical reason drove the women’s recruitment. The specialized dog training was done in Cambodia, by the nonprofit Apopo, and military-aged men are currently not allowed to leave Ukraine.

War has shaken up gender dynamics in the Ukrainian economy, with women taking up jobs traditionally held by men, such as driving trucks or welding. Now, as mobilization ramps up once more, women are becoming increasingly important in roles that are critical for national security.

In Mykolaiv, in the industrial east, Nahorna and her dogs will soon take on one of the biggest targets of Russia’s military strategy when they start to demine the country’s energy infrastructure. Here, women have been stepping in to work in large numbers in steel mills, factories, and railways serving the front line.

It’s a big shift for Ukraine. Before the war, only 48 percent of women over age 15 took part in the workforce — one of the lowest rates in Europe. War has made collecting data on the gender composition of the workforce impossible, but today, 50,000 women serve in the Ukrainian army, compared to 30,000 before the war.

The catalyst came in 2017, years before the current war began. As conflict escalated with Russia in Crimea, the Ukrainian government overturned a Soviet-era law that had previously banned women from 450 occupations.

But obstacles still remain; for example, women are not allowed jobs the government deems too physically demanding. These barriers continue to be chipped away—most recently, women have been cleared to work in underground mines, something they were prevented from doing before.

Viktoriia Avramchuk never thought she would follow her father and husband into the coal mines for DTEK, Ukraine’s largest private energy company.

Her lifelong fear of elevators was a big factor—but there was also the fact that it was illegal for women to work underground.

Her previous job working as a nanny in a local kindergarten disappeared overnight when schools were forced to close at the beginning of the war. After a year of being unemployed, she found that she had few other options.

“I would never have taken the job if I could have afforded not to,” Avramchuk said from her home in Pokrovsk. “But I also wanted to do something to help secure victory, and this was needed.”

The demining work that Nahorna does is urgent in part because more than 55 percent of the country is farmed.

Often called “the breadbasket of Europe,” Ukraine is one of the world’s top exporters of grain. The U.K.-based Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, which has been advising the Ukrainian government on demining technology, estimates that landmines have resulted in annual GDP losses of $11 billion.

“Farmers feel the pressure to plow, which is dangerous,” said Jon Cunliffe, the Ukraine country director of Mines Advisory Group (MAG), a British nonprofit. “So we need to do as much surveying as possible to reduce the size of the possible contamination.”

The dogs can quickly clear an area of heavy vegetation, which greatly speeds up the process of releasing noncontaminated lands back to farmers. If the area is found to be unsafe, human deminers step in to clear the field manually.

“I’m not brave enough to be on the front line,” 29-year-old Iryna Manzevyta said as she slowly and diligently hovered a metal detector over a patch of farmland. “But I had to do something to help, and this seemed like a good alternative to make a difference.”

Groups like MAG are increasingly targeting women. With skilled male deminers regularly being picked up by military recruiters, recruiting women reduces the chances that expensive and time-consuming training will be invested in people who could be drafted to the front line at a moment’s notice. The demining work is expected to take decades, and women, unlike men, cannot be conscripted in Ukraine.

This urgency to recruit women is accelerating a gender shift already underway in the demining sector. Organizations like MAG have looked to recruit women as a way to empower them in local communities. Demining was once a heavily male-dominated sector, but women now make up 30 percent of workers in Vietnam and Colombia, around 40 percent in Cambodia, and more than 50 percent in Myanmar.

In Ukraine, the idea is to make demining an enterprise with “very little expat footprint,” and Cunliffe said that will only be possible by recruiting more women.

“We should not be here in 10 years. Not like in Iraq or South Sudan, where we have been for 30 years, or Vietnam, or Laos,” Cunliffe said. “It’s common sense that we bring in as many women as we can to do that. In five to 10 years, a lot of these women are going to end up being technical field managers, the jobs that are currently being done by old former British military guys, and it will change the face of demining worldwide because they can take those skills across the world.”

Manzevyta is one of the many women whose new job has turned her family dynamics on their head. She has handed over her previous life, running a small online beauty retail site, to her husband, who—though he gripes—stays at home while she is out demining.

“Life is completely different now,” she said, giggling. “I had to teach him how to use the washing machine, which settings to use, everything around the house because I’m mostly absent now.”

More seriously, Manzevyta said that the war has likely changed many women’s career trajectories.

“I can’t imagine people who have done work like this going back and working as florists once the war is over,” she laughed.

A new study suggests that the economic slump caused by the change in UK-EU relations post-Brexit is not just a short-term hiccup, but likely to persist. The Brexit deal has caused a sharp decline in UK-EU trade and is likely to continue getting even worse, a group of economists has warned. A new report released on Monday by Aston University Business School says that the Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) signed by London and Brussels as the two sides fully cut ties has "profound and ongoing stifling effects" on the economy. "The study highlights that the negative impacts of the TCA have intensified over time, with 2023 showing more pronounced trade declines than previous years," the Birmingham-based economists said in the report. "This suggests that the transition in UK-EU trade relations post-Brexit is not merely a short-term disruption but reflects deeper structural changes likely to persist." They added that the trends indicate "worsening trade dynamics" over the 2021-2023 period compared to the initial post-TCA phase. The UK has been buffeted by economic hardship ever since it voted to leave the EU in 2016 and subsequently exited the bloc in 2020. This was soon compounded by the global and financial shockwaves caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Between 2021 and 2023, monthly data showed a 27% drop in UK exports and a 32% drop in imports to and from the EU, compared to how things would have been had Brexit not happened, according to the Aston report. Things don't improve much when looking at the figures on a yearly basis: exports declined by 17% and imports by 23%.

Daily Wrap Up March 10-13, 2023

Under the cut:

Russia and the United Nations have agreed to a 60-day extension of the Ukraine grain deal after negotiations in Geneva, Russian state news agency RIA reported on Monday.

Fierce fighting rages over central Bakhmut as Russia’s Wagner mercenaries try to break through Ukrainian defenses in the ruined city, Colonel General Oleksandr Syrskyi said on March 13. Syrskyi, who commands Ukraine’s Ground Forces and made two known visits to Bakhmut in recent weeks, acknowledged that the situation in the embattled city remained difficult as Russia continued to press forward.

Ukrainian intelligence officials have officially confirmed the identity of the prisoner of war who shouted, "Glory to Ukraine!" before he was executed in a video that was widely circulated on social media. The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) determined he was a sniper with the 163rd Battalion of the 119th Separate Tank Brigade of the Chernihiv Region, Oleksandr Ihorovych Matsiyevsky. CNN earlier reported that Matsiyevsky's loved ones and his commander had recognized him as the man in the clip.

Three civilians were killed in Russian shelling of Kherson in southern Ukraine on Saturday, and another died in Donetsk, regional officials said. Reuters reported the governor of Kherson oblast, Oleksandr Prokudin, as saying three people, including an elderly woman, had also been wounded.

Dozens of Ukrainian soldiers on Monday wrapped up a four-week training in Spain on how to operate the Leopard 2A4 battle tank, of which Madrid is set to deliver six mothballed units to Kyiv this spring. A total of 40 tank crew members and 15 mechanical specialists underwent training on their use at a military base in the northeastern city of Zaragoza, Spain’s armed forces said in a statement.

Chinese President Xi Jinping plans to travel to Russia to meet his counterpart Vladimir Putin as soon as next week, people familiar with the matter said, which would be sooner than previously expected. Plans for a visit come as China has been offering to broker peace in Ukraine, an effort that has been met with scepticism in the West given Beijing's diplomatic support for Russia.

“Russia and the United Nations have agreed to a 60-day extension of the Ukraine grain deal after negotiations in Geneva, Russian state news agency RIA reported on Monday.

"Our Russian interdepartmental delegation has just completed another round of talks with UN representatives led by UNCTAD Secretary General R. Greenspan and OCHA head M. Griffiths,” Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Vershinin said at a briefing on Monday, according to RIA.

The diplomat added Moscow had agreed to extend the current grain deal, which lasts until March 18, for an additional 60 days.

"But just for 60 days,” Vershinin said. “Any further grain policy will depend on actual —based on not what's said but what's done — progress on the normalization of our agricultural exports, including bank payments, transport logistics, insurance, unfreezing of financial activities and the continuation of ammonia supply through the Tolyatti-Odessa pipeline.”

Why are grain exports so important? Ukraine and Russia are both significant suppliers of food to the world. Before the war, Ukraine – known as one of the globe’s breadbaskets – would export around three-quarters of the grain it produces. According to data from the European Commission, about 90% of these exports were shipped by sea, from Ukraine’s Black Sea ports. The war and its impact on grain exports therefore has major implications, particularly in the global South which relies heavily on them.”-via CNN

“Fierce fighting rages over central Bakhmut as Russia’s Wagner mercenaries try to break through Ukrainian defenses in the ruined city, Colonel General Oleksandr Syrskyi said on March 13.

Syrskyi, who commands Ukraine’s Ground Forces and made two known visits to Bakhmut in recent weeks, acknowledged that the situation in the embattled city remained difficult as Russia continued to press forward.

The commander said that the Wagner members were storming into central Bakhmut from multiple fronts, but Ukraine still held on to the “fortress” while inflicting “significant losses” on the invading forces.

“All enemy attempts to capture the city are repelled by artillery, tanks, and other firepower," Syrskyi said, as quoted by the Ukrainian Defense Ministry's media center.

Syrskyi’s statement comes amid an eight-month-long battle over Bakhmut, a largely destroyed city nearly emptied of its 70,000 residents. Russia has intensified its offensive on Bakhmut in recent weeks as it captured neighboring settlements, inching its way into encircling the city.

Late on March 12, Wagner head Yevgeny Prigozhin said in a Telegram post that his mercenaries began storming into the underground compound of the Artemivskyi non-ferrous metal processing plant, also known as AZOM, in northern Bakhmut.

Neither Ukraine nor Russia officially commented on the situation at the plant on March 13.

The Institute for the Study of War (ISW), a D.C.-based think-tank analyzing the war in Ukraine, said on March 12 that the Russian military leadership could be trying to expend the Wagner forces and Prigozhin’s influence in Bakhmut.

The ISW has earlier reported that Wagner’s committed elite forces in Bakhmut may be running out as the paramilitary group uses up its manpower to maintain offensive momentum.

Serhiy Cherevatyi, a spokesperson for Ukraine's Eastern Military Command, said on March 11 that Ukraine seeks to degrade Wagner forces during its defense of Bakhmut.

He added that Ukraine has already “thinned out” the second formation of Wagner’s recruited prisoners over the winter, and Ukraine has “a real chance” of degrading Wagner if it keeps up the pace.

As fierce battles raged in the east and south of Ukraine, civilian casualties continued to be reported.

The President’s Office said on March 13 that Russian troops launched two missiles at a school in Avdiivka, Donetsk Oblast, killing a woman.

To the northeast, the Russians launched a missile strike on the village of Znob-Novhorodske in Sumy Oblast, killing at least one and wounding four, according to the President’s Office.

On the southern front, the Russians fired upon energy workers in a liberated area of Kherson Oblast, wounding one person, the regional military administration said.”-via Kyiv Independent

The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) determined he was a sniper with the 163rd Battalion of the 119th Separate Tank Brigade of the Chernihiv Region, Oleksandr Ihorovych Matsiyevsky. CNN earlier reported that Matsiyevsky's loved ones and his commander had recognized him as the man in the clip.

The SBU came to the conclusion after communicating with the sniper's family and comrades-in-arms, as well as processing photo and video materials, officials said.

"This is a true Hero who, even looking into the face of death, demonstrated to the whole world what Ukrainian character and invincibility are," said SBU Head Vasyl Malyuk in a statement on their website. "It is these defenders who are defending our land today, which means that the enemy will definitely be defeated. Because Ukraine's Great Victory is made up of the heroic deeds of people like Oleksandr Matsiyevsky. Glory to the hero! Glory to the heroes! Glory to Ukraine!" Matsiyevsky was called for military service in March 2022. Since the end of December, he was reported missing near the village of Krasna Hora in the eastern Donetsk region, according to the SBU. The sniper was shot dead on December 30. His body was returned home in February.

The SBU said it is working to identify the Russian military personnel involved in the execution, and investigating the killing under Article 438 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (violation of the laws and customs of war).

Officials in Kyiv, including President Volodymyr Zelensky, have roundly condemned the sniper's on-camera slaying as a war crime.”-via CNN

“Three civilians were killed in Russian shelling of Kherson in southern Ukraine on Saturday, and another died in Donetsk, regional officials said.

Reuters reported the governor of Kherson oblast, Oleksandr Prokudin, as saying three people, including an elderly woman, had also been wounded .

“Today the Russian occupiers have hit Kherson again, on Mykolayivsky road near a shop, debris from a shell killed three people,” he told Ukrainian TV.

Ukraine recaptured Kherson in November after nearly eight months of occupation by Russian forces who seized it soon after the start of their invasion. The area is now under almost constant bombardment from Russian forces on the opposite side of the Dnieper river.

The Donetsk regional governor, Pavlo Kyrylenko, said one person had been killed and at least three injured in the city of Kostyantynivka after several rounds of Russian shelling during the day.”-via The Guardian

“It has been intense,” Spanish trainer Captain Contreras - who identified himself only by his rank and surname - told reporters, who were allowed access to the drills for the first time.

Contreras said the Ukrainians would be returning home “with a very acceptable knowledge” of the Leopards.

“Although the tanks were different, there were many systems that coincide and that has made things much easier. With that, together with the motivation that the personnel brought and their desire to learn, we see them very well prepared to resume combat.”

One of the Ukrainian soldiers being trained had a patch on a sleeve sporting the slogan “Freedom or Death” underneath the Ukrainian flag.”-via The Guardian

Plans for a visit come as China has been offering to broker peace in Ukraine, an effort that has been met with scepticism in the West given Beijing's diplomatic support for Russia.

Putin said last month that a Xi visit had been agreed, though the Kremlin chief gave no date for a possible visit. The Wall Street Journal reported last month that a visit to Moscow could take place in April or early May.

China's foreign ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the possibility of Xi going to Moscow.

When asked about the Reuters report, the Kremlin said it had nothing to say on the matter.

"As a rule, announcements of official foreign visits are coordinated synchronously by mutual agreement of the parties," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters in Moscow.

"When there is such readiness, we will let you know."

No other details were immediately available.

The sources briefed on the matter declined to be identified given the sensitivity of the issue.

Last month, Putin hosted China's top diplomat Wang Yi on a visit to Moscow. One source said that Wang's trip to Moscow was to help prepare for Xi's visit.

China and Russia struck a "no limits" partnership in February of 2022, when Putin was visiting Beijing for the opening of the Winter Olympics, weeks before Russia invaded Ukraine. The two sides have continued to reaffirm the strength of their ties.

Xi has met Putin in person 39 times since becoming president, most recently in September during a summit in central Asia.

On Monday, Xi wrapped up the annual session of China's parliament, the National People's Congress, during which he was unanimously confirmed in a precedent-breaking third term as president.”-via Reuters

Bacardi is paying taxes to Putin which help him buy missiles to blow up maternity hospitals, schools, and apartment buildings in Ukraine.

If Bacardi can't quit Vladimir, pro-democracy people should quit Bacardi.

Ukraine’s national anti-corruption agency added Bacardi Limited to its list of international war sponsors, citing the company’s continued business and tax payments in Russia. In its announcement Thursday, Ukraine’s National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP) claimed the Bermudian spirits company is looking for new employees in Russia, despite Ukraine’s ongoing conflict with the country. “After the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, Bacardi announced that it would stop exporting to Russia and stop investing in advertising, but this part later disappeared from the company’s official statement,” according to a statement from the NACP. “Therefore, the company continued to supply its products to the Russian Federation for millions of dollars and to look for new employees by publishing job advertisements.” 

Bacardi has engaged in rather sketchy bookkeeping to hide its involvement in Russia. But they were inadvertently outed by Russia itself.

The NACP claimed the Russian division of the Bacardi Rus company “imported goods worth $169 million during the year of war with Ukraine.” The agency cited data from the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation, which it said showed the revenue of Bacardi Rus in 2022 increased by 8.5 percent to 32.6 billion rubles and had a net profit of 4.7 billion rubles, which is 206.5 percent more than its profit in 2021. The NACP said the company paid more than $12 million in income taxes to Russia.

Both Yale University School of Management and the Kyiv School of Economics maintain databases on involvement of foreign businesses in Russia.

They are somewhat similar but not identical. The KSE database covers twice as many companies as Yale. Yale uses five categories; the KSE uses six categories in the heading but then telescopes the four middle categories into two beneath the fold. The KSE offers more detailed information on each company. The latter also has a version in Ukrainian. Yale offers a continuous scroll running from worst to best grouping. At KSE you click one of the categories and are then shown the company profiles in groups of 120 or less. Both sites were updated on Thursday.

Putin Stirs European Worry on Home Appliance Imports Stripped for Arms

A sudden and surprising spike in European exports of washing machines, refrigerators and even electric breast pumps to Russia’s neighbors is raising concerns among officials the trade boom may be helping Vladimir Putin’s war machine in Ukraine.

Armenia imported more washing machines from the European Union during the first eight months of the year than the past two years combined, according to data compiled by Bloomberg from the EU’s Eurostat database. Kazakhstan imported $21.4 million worth of European refrigerators through August, more than triple the amount for the same period last year. Kazakh government data meantime show a jump in refrigerators, washing machines and electric breast pumps being shipped into Russia.

Officials in Europe have already said publicly they have seen parts from refrigerators and washing machines showing up in Russian military equipment such as tanks since its invasion of Ukraine. People familiar with the assessments said it was quite possible that components and microchips from other household goods were being used for military purposes, too, even if mostly in relatively low-grade equipment.

Bulgaria’s economy grew by 0.6 per cent in the third quarter of the year, the National Statistical Institute (NSI) said in a flash estimate on November 15. In real terms, gross domestic product (GDP) in Bulgaria in July-September was 44.54 billion leva, or 22.77 billion euro.

In annual terms, the economic growth in the third quarter was 3.2 per cent, compared to the same period of 2021. NSI is due to announce preliminary growth figures for the third quarter on December 7.

The flash estimate’s seasonally-adjusted data showed domestic consumption rise by 0.5 per cent during the third quarter, and it was three per cent higher on an annual basis. Gross fixed capital formation declined by 1.7 per cent in July-September and was 8.4 per cent down compared to the third quarter of 2021.

Exports fell by 1.4 per cent compared to the second quarter of the year, but were 7.8 per cent higher compared to the third quarter of last year, while imports declined by 4.7 per cent on a quarterly basis and were 5.3 per cent higher year-on-year.

Bulgaria recorded a trade surplus of 1.1 billion leva in the quarter, the equivalent of 2.4 per cent of GDP, NSI said.

NSI’s statistics releases do not, as a rule, include analysis of trends and its GDP flash estimate made no mention of the impact that the Covid-19 pandemic or the Russian invasion of Ukraine had on Bulgaria’s economy.

Bulgaria’s economic growth in the third quarter of 2022 was higher than the figure recorded for the EU as a whole, according to data from the bloc’s statistics body Eurostat. The EU27 economy and the euro zone both grew by 0.2 per cent in July-September.

On an annual basis, Bulgaria’s growth was also higher, with the EU economy expanding by 1.5 per cent compared to the third quarter of 2021, while the euro zone economy was up by 1.7 per cent.

India and Ukraine had trade ties for centuries. The first recorded trade between the two countries dates back to the 14th century, when Indian merchants travelled to Ukraine to trade spices, textiles, and other goods, as per Global Trade Data. In the 17th century, the Mughal Empire established trade relations with the Cossack Hetmanate, a Ukraine state. This trade continued until the 18th century, when the Russian Empire annexed Ukraine.

[ad_1] Paromita Das GG News Bureau New Delhi, 15th October. In the wake of the ongoing Ukraine conflict, Bharat has maintained a strategic position in the global supply chain, continuing to export critical technologies and goods to Russia despite mounting pressure and sanctions from Western countries, including the United States. Over two years since Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine, Bharat’s defiance of these sanctions and its steadfast engagement with Russia have drawn significant attention and, at times, criticism from the international community. Despite this, Bharat has made it clear that its actions are driven by national interest, standing firm in the face of external objections. Bharat’s Supply of Critical Technologies to Russia: A Growing Concern A recent report reveals that Bharat has surged to become the second-largest supplier of restricted critical technologies to Russia, trailing only China. Bharatiya exports of sensitive items such as microchips, electronic circuits, and machine tools to Russia have risen sharply in recent months. The figures tell the story: exports of restricted items hit $60 million in both April and May of this year, about double the earlier months’ figures. By July, these exports leaped to $95 million. This data underscores the significant role Bharat is playing in circumventing the West’s efforts to cripple Russia’s war machine. According to the report, Bharat now accounts for almost a fifth of the sensitive technology that reaches Russia, presenting a formidable challenge to the United States and its European allies, who are trying to curtail Russia’s capacity to wage war. These figures illustrate the complexities the West faces in enforcing sanctions against Russia, particularly when key nations like Bharat continue to uphold robust trade relations with Moscow. Energy Ties: Bharat’s Dependence on Russian Oil Beyond technology, Bharat’s import of crude oil from Russia has also been a point of contention. In the wake of sanctions aimed at limiting Russia’s oil sales, Bharat has emerged as one of the top buyers of Russian crude, taking advantage of discounts that have helped ease the country’s energy supply pressures. This move, while beneficial for Bharat’s energy needs and economic stability, has drawn ire from Western nations that see it as undermining their efforts to economically isolate Russia. Despite repeated objections from the West, Bharat’s stance has remained unwavering. The Government of Bharat has consistently communicated that its decisions are driven by national interest. Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar has openly addressed international concerns, emphasizing that Bharat’s primary responsibility is to ensure its people have access to affordable energy and essential goods. Bharat’s diplomacy has been rooted in pragmatism, advocating for an approach that allows it to maintain sovereign decision-making in its foreign trade policies while navigating the geopolitical intricacies of a multipolar world. Geopolitical Implications: A Delicate Balancing Act Bharat’s actions in continuing to supply restricted technologies to Russia and buying Russian oil have exposed the delicate balancing act it must perform on the global stage. The situation puts Bharat in a complex diplomatic position. On the one hand, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government has successfully cultivated strong relationships with Western countries, including the United States and the European Union, particularly in areas such as defense, trade, and technology cooperation. On the other hand, Bharat’s long-standing ties with Russia, dating back to the Cold War, remain strong, and Russia continues to be a key defense and energy partner for Bharat. The conflict in Ukraine has strained these relationships, as Western allies seek to align global partners in isolating Russia. However, Bharat’s refusal to align with this agenda fully, driven by pragmatic considerations, complicates Western efforts to apply uniform pressure on Moscow.

Washington and Brussels are aware of the importance of nurturing their partnership with Bharat, given the country’s rising geopolitical and economic clout. This has led to a cautious approach in their dealings with Bharat, refraining from overtly criticizing Bharat’s stance while continuing efforts to influence its policy. Bharat’s Strategic Interests Bharat’s actions can be understood within the framework of its broader strategic interests. First and foremost, Bharat prioritizes its national security, which is closely tied to its energy security. With its growing economy and massive population, Bharat needs to secure reliable and affordable sources of energy. Russian oil has provided Bharat with an attractive option, particularly as other global suppliers have faced disruptions or price surges. For Bharat, cutting off this crucial supply could severely impact its economic stability. Furthermore, Bharat views its relationship with Russia as a key aspect of its defense strategy. Russia remains one of Bharat’s largest defense suppliers, with a substantial portion of Bharat’s military hardware coming from Moscow. The long-standing defense cooperation between the two nations is a cornerstone of Bharat’s strategic autonomy, allowing it to avoid overdependence on any single global power for its defense needs. At the same time, Bharat is cognizant of the growing importance of its relationship with the United States, especially in the context of the Indo-Pacific strategy aimed at counterbalancing China’s rising influence. The US and its allies are eager to draw Bharat closer into their fold, both as a trading partner and as a key player in the region’s security architecture. This creates a dynamic where Bharat must carefully navigate its relationships with both Moscow and Washington without alienating either party. Bharat’s Diplomatic Stance: Pragmatism Over Ideology Bharat’s foreign policy in recent years has been characterized by a pragmatic approach that prioritizes national interests over ideological alignments. This pragmatism has allowed Bharat to maintain good relations with a wide range of global powers, even when their interests conflict with each other. Bharat has pursued a policy of multi-alignment, engaging with countries on a case-by-case basis depending on how each relationship can serve its own strategic objectives. In the context of the Ukraine war, Bharat has avoided taking a firm stance against Russia, refraining from participating in Western sanctions while also expressing concern over the humanitarian impact of the conflict. Bharat’s diplomatic efforts have focused on calling for dialogue and peaceful resolution, without directly condemning Russia’s actions. This neutral stance has allowed Bharat to preserve its strategic partnership with Moscow while continuing to engage meaningfully with Western nations. Conclusion Bharat’s continued supply of critical technologies and goods to Russia, coupled with its increased imports of Russian crude oil, reflect a calculated decision by the Modi government to put national interest above external pressures. While Bharat’s actions have drawn criticism from the West, they highlight the country’s determination to maintain strategic autonomy in its foreign policy. Bharat’s position is a realistic and pragmatic one, grounded in the need to secure its economic and energy interests in a volatile global environment. By maintaining trade ties with Russia, Bharat has been able to shield itself from the economic fallout of the Ukraine conflict, ensuring a stable supply of energy and essential goods. This approach also aligns with Bharat’s broader strategy of multi-alignment, allowing it to engage with all major global powers without being drawn into any one geopolitical camp. However, the challenges Bharat faces are significant. Its balancing act between the West and Russia will require delicate diplomacy in the coming years, as the geopolitical landscape continues to evolve. As long as

Bharat can navigate these complexities while keeping its national interests at the forefront, it is likely to continue playing a critical role in shaping the future of global politics.   [ad_2] Source link

Crude oil has stopped flowing to Hungary and Slovakia through the Druzhba pipeline after Kyiv tightened its economic sanctions against Russia.

Kyiv announced in June it would tighten its sanctions regime in mid-July by preventing Russia’s second-biggest oil company, Lukoil, from using its infrastructure to export crude to Europe.

The stoppage concerns only Lukoil deliveries through the southern stretch of the Duzhba (‘Friendship’) pipeline, which runs through Ukraine to the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary. Authorities in both Bratislava and Budapest said Russian crude deliveries from other suppliers were unaffected, including those transiting Ukraine.

“According to data from [Slovakian oil transporter] Transpetrol, deliveries of Russian oil to Slovakia were not stopped,” Slovakia’s Ministry of Economy said in a statement on Thursday. “The problem is, according to [Slovakian refiner] Slovnaft, deliveries of a concrete supplier, Lukoil.”

The Ministry said it was discussing the issue with its partners in Ukraine and that in the meantime Slovnaft had secured supplies from another source.

On Tuesday, Hungary’s foreign minister, Peter Szijjarto, said that while oil was flowing to Hungary from the Black Sea via the TurkStream Pipeline, Lukoil supplies via Ukraine had ceased.

“Due to a legal situation in Ukraine, Lukoil is no longer delivering to Hungary, and now we are working on a solution that would allow oil transit to restart as Russian oil is very important for our energy security,” Szijjarto said.

Industry sources cited by Reuters said crude supplies to the Czech Republic were flowing normally.
