It is certainly unfair system

Why has Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan raised the pertinent question of limiting the UN Security Council permanent members to a total of five only?  This should be changed, as he appears to think now. He did not pause to insist on such a limited approach.  It inspires no trust at all. He did not deem it a fitting approach in present-day's wholly different context.  His strongly worded, stirring speech indicated his outlook upon this particularly vital matter in these tempestuous days.  Distinctly critiquing the prevailing situation, he made it quite clear that there was basically no sense in persisting with a system that places pressure on bending before the five selected countries. More than 190 countries have been bearing this intense pressure unavoidably.   It is really not a fair system at this cutting-edge time. What is urgently required in this changing situation is that more than 190 countries are subject to the whims of just five countries. It is ...

India, Russia & Ukraine have substantial links



Reciprocal interests do help in setting international relations. If we strain to inspect this professed verity with a bit of unrestrained mind, there appears assertive reality in this stiff course. 

India, Russia and Ukraine have substantial links in terms of migration and trade in military spare parts like turbines for its warships. 

Delhi does not directly criticise Russia's invasion of Ukraine as it mostly benefited from purchasing large volumes of discounted Russian oil. There is nothing concealed in this explicit point. 

India has benefited from obtaining spare parts for its arms from Ukraine. This is unusually a very important trade with Ukraine for essentially military needs. 

As Ukraine struggles financially, it will gain much-needed money for its defence companies during the ongoing war.  Neither Russia nor Ukraine appear too lenient to stop this war.

Russia bombarded key Ukrainian defence companies like the Antonov Serial Production Plant in Kyiv and the Zorya-Mashproekt complex in Mykolaiv respectively. 

The Indian Air Force’s fleet of An- 32 military transports slated for an upgrade under a 2009 contract, has been impacted. 

The Antonov plant produces the model. The contract involved upgrading 40 aircraft in Ukraine and another 65 in India under Ukrainian supervision.

However, the supply disruption has been stuck resulting in stalling the upgradation of the the last five of 40 aircraft. 

These planes are reportedly lying in Kyiv. The upgradation of the aircraft was locally disrupted owing to the exit of the Ukrainian engineers and the dearth of spare parts. 

The Zorya-Mashproekt complex in Mykolaiv is vital for the production of turbines used by the Indian Navy. These were crippled by Russian forces two years ago. 

Frequent shelling and infrastructure damage bring losses to Mykolaiv’s strategic location. 

The impact on Zorya-Mashproekt is mainly significant. India relies on these turbines for its warships.

Bharat Forge’s acquisition of a 51℅ stake in Zorya’s India arm could be a foundation for the joint venture if Ukrainian technicians work along with India's engineers.
