International News: The Russia-Ukraine war has now reached a decisive turn. On Sunday, Ukraine attacked five Russian airbases, destroying more than 40 nuclear-capable bombers at Belaya airbase. These attacks have not only changed the direction of the war, but have also dealt a severe blow to Russia's superpower status. Now this conflict seems to be getting very close to the 'red line'.

According to sources, the next target of Ukrainian attacks could be Russia's large naval base, where there is a base for nuclear-armed submarines. In such a situation, there is a fear that Russia may now move towards the use of nuclear weapons on Ukraine.

Warning from US senators in France: War can now become more fierce

US Senators Lindsey Graham (Republican) and Richard Blumenthal (Democrat) met French President Emmanuel Macron on Monday. After this, he told the press in Paris that there is every possibility of a fierce war breaking out in Ukraine in the coming days and President Macron also agreed with this 100 percent.

A big blow to Russia's strategy, now nuclear option possible in retaliation

Experts believe that amid increasing ceasefire pressure from the US and Western countries, Russia is now trying to capture maximum land of Ukraine before the war, so that it can get an edge in the bargaining at the negotiating table. But Sunday's Ukrainian counterattack has caused serious damage to this strategy.

After this unprecedented attack, the possibility of a nuclear attack from Russia has increased. Experts are warning that if Ukraine dares to do such a thing again, Russia will move towards a 'big retaliatory attack', which may also include the use of nuclear weapons.

Pressure on Putin increased due to Western sanctions

Both US senators have indicated that Putin is now planning a war on a large scale, and this crisis can be fatal not only for Russia but the whole world. The new sanctions imposed recently by the European Union and Britain have further increased Putin's troubles. If the US also joins these sanctions, then Russia's economy is sure to suffer a major setback.

US sanctions can also affect India-China, threat to petroleum trade

Donald Trump has warned that if the war does not stop, then the US can impose strict sanctions on countries buying petroleum products from Russia. This will directly affect countries like India and China, which may have to face import duty up to 500 percent. Consensus has been reached on this sanctions bill in the US Parliament. Senator Blumenthal believes that if this law is implemented, Russia's economy will shrink within the country and its ability to wage war will also end.

Sunday's Ukrainian attack is not just a military action, but a step that shakes the geopolitical balance. If the direction of the war does not change in the coming weeks, the world may face an unprecedented crisis.
