The devastating drone attack by Ukraine on Russian air bases might be an inflection point for not only the three years old conflict but also the regional and possibly global order. After napoleon and hitler it’s only the third time that Russian core has been hit and it would have consequences. Already the Europe -Russian relations were at their lowest even worse than the great game and the Cold War. While the eurozone had rightly identified Russia as the aggressor and supported Ukraine, but Russia especially under the almost autocratic rule of Putin is too dangerous to be , so challenged While Zelenskyy has pulled off an absolute operational genius, planned over more than a year and a half, he has risked escalating the conflict to a point where any talk of peace has become impossible. This has also shown the limitations of trump diplomacy. With America- Europe bonhomie withering nato may not have it easy, and growing sino-Russian cooperation means sanctions may also not have the effect that they did. Turkey and Iran may now redefine the situation in the middle east. Indian diplomacy has far greater challenges ahead.
An uncertain future for the world
