Amid all of this chaos, Aam Aadmi Party’s Chief Minister candidate for Punjab has took to Facebook to help those stranded in Ukraine.
Bhagwant Mann on Friday took to Facebook and wrote, “Punjabis stranded in Ukraine or their relatives are requested to contact us on WhatsApp number 9877847778. We will do our best to help you.”
His simple gesture is being praised by many Punjabis. People are appreciating him in the comment sections.
Why did Russia invade Ukraine?
There had been a long turmoil between these two countries, a former Soviet Republic. Russia has been demanding an end to NATO’s eastward expansion. In January last year, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky urged the United States President to join NATO.
To this, Russia sent troops near its Ukraine borders for “training exercises” in spring last year. The United States also hyped Russian deployment of the troops. Joe Biden also warned Vladimir Putin of several sanctions if Russia invaded Putin.
However, the conflict has continued and yesterday, several cities of Ukraine, including Kyiv, was attacked by the Russian troops.
