Russia ukraine war: Amidst the Russia-Ukraine War, the US and its allied countries have increased pressure on Russia’s allies including India. NATO’s new general secretary Mark Rute has clearly stated that if India, China and Brazil do not break their economic relations with Russia, they may face tough secondary sanctions. The statement came at a time when US President Donald Trump has announced a large -scale weapon to Ukraine and warned to impose 100% tariffs on businessmen with Russia.
Rute’s hard message: “Think, how expensive it can prove to be for you”
In a conversation with US lawmakers on Wednesday, Rute gave a sharp message saying, “If you are in Beijing, Delhi or Brazilia, think how big your decisions can hurt you.” He warned that if India, China and Brazil continue to buy oil and gas from Russia, they should be prepared for serious economic sanctions. This statement of the NATO chief is a type of warning to India and other countries to put pressure on Putin so that the war can be stopped.
Ukraine announced ‘huge delivery’ of weapons
US President Trump has revealed a plan to send heavy weapons such as defense system, missiles and ammunition to Ukraine as part of a new strategy. Trump said that the cost of these weapons would be shared sharedly. When Rute was asked if Ukraine would also be given long -range missiles, he said that the decision is now being taken by NATO commanders and Ukrainian military leadership.
Trump’s question on the possibility of attack on Moscow
On July 4, in a call with Ukrainian President Woldimir Jailonsky, Trump asked if long distance weapons were given, can Ukraine attack Moscow. The question came to light after Trump’s disappointment when he discussed peace talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, but no progress was made.
Jailonsky’s new strategy: Private defense company considers
Responding to Russian pressure, Jailonsky has indicated that Ukraine is considering a plan to ereate private military companies (PMCs). Although he has not shared any detailed blueprint on this, it is considered to be a strategic reply to Russian threats.

The biggest attack occurred in Kharkeev where an industrial area caught fire and three people were injured. According to Gelnsky, Russia fired 1,800 drones, 1,200 glide bombs and 83 missiles in just a week.
Putin’s warning and trump failure
Russian President Vladimir Putin has made it clear that he will stop the war only when the West accepts his terms. The report, quoting sources close to Kremlin, states that Russia does not care about Trump’s threats and Putin believes that his army and economy are capable of dealing with sanctions. Trump has also admitted that Putin has rejected the ceasefire’s proposal, and that is why he has decided to send additional weapons to Ukraine, including the Patriot missile system.
The strategy of Western countries over the resolve of the Russia-Ukraine war has become more aggressive. Countries like India, China and Brazil are also increasing diplomatic pressure. In the coming days, the global economic equations of this struggle may have a serious impact.
