US likely discussion with EU over Ukraine : Implications for Russia 2022

In  EU Summit the  US President Joe Biden will discuss the issue of Ukraine with members of the EU. They will discuss Russia's invasion of Ukraine and consider more sanctions on Russia for military action in Ukraine.

The invasion in Ukraine has threatened the stability of the world that has implications on European Countries mainly Eastern Europe. The US has sent humanitarian aid to Ukraine. They have faced causalities and a lack of power supply that led to the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine. The bombing has disrupted the infrastructure of the country and people are taking refugees in other countries as a result of the war in Ukraine. Russia has taken military action that has caused the displacement of the people of Ukraine. The US has threatened more sanctions due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The Russian invasion saw a threat to the stability of Europe, Eastern Europe, and the Baltic states. The use of force will pose a serious threat to the security of NATO and Non- NATO states. The European Union will assess the repercussions of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. They will discuss the means to avert the war in Ukraine and its spillage into other parts of Eastern Europe.



The wealthy Russian oligarchs, political and military officials are blamed for supporting war and taking military action in Ukraine. They have played a role in supporting Russia to take military action after retaliation from Ukraine forces. The oligarchs of Russia have encouraged the war to expand their interests in Ukraine. They have given support to Putin in invasion and escalation in the region of Eastern Europe.

The US has been providing anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons. In order to counter the threat of Russian military action, the US has provided weapons to Ukraine to counter Russian forces. Ukraine is fighting to prevent the control of Russia over Ukraine. Ukrainian forces with the assistance of weapons from the US launched counterattacks to oppose Russia’s military forces. The European Union has imposed sanctions on Russia due to their invasion that led to an uncertain situation. The situation has to risk the stability of the entire world.


The Implications of the Russian invasion have been immense. It has challenged the security apparatus operating in Ukraine. They have been aided by NATO and US to fight against the Russian forces. The question is will Russia be able to challenge NATO’s collective security mechanism to counter security threats? The annexation of Crimea by Russia has shifted the power equation that poses a threat to European states.

Melting Glaciers in Antarctic Region

Satellite images show the 1,200sq km (463sq miles) Conger Ice Shelf collapsed completely in March. According to studies by scientists, the large chunks of ice attached to the land acts as a buffer to prevent ice from melting and flowing into the ocean increasing the risk of submergence due to a rise in sea level on the land areas. The areas on coastlines are in danger of receding land areas due to the rise in sea levels. The temperature reaching 40C (70F) above normal in parts of East Antarctica, is unusual for the region during this time of the year. Scientists, consider the melting of ice in Antarctica is likely to increase the risk of flooding. The rapid pace of melting of ice has adverse effects on the land adjoining the ocean. Melting of ice is creating an effect Neff described as “a fire hose of moisture phenomenon. The rate of climate change is three times warmer in the Antarctic than in the Arctic Ocean. In the context of factors, first and foremost is the increase in greenhous...
