By 1328 0

What the attack threatens is the deal the Ukrainian government recently reached with the rebels with the blessing of Russia.

The Ukraine government has convened an urgent meeting to evaluate the situation. The government may adopt from strong measures to bring the situation under its control.

Meanwhile, the Russian backed rebels have dismissed the allegation that they have consciously carried out a provocative attack against the Ukraine government defaming the deal they earlier reached with the government.

The attack has happened in an area controlled by the rebels force.

As per the opinion of the rebel force, the Ukraine force has stepped into a minefield established by the rebel force.

The situation is at present under control.

Whether the situation will escalate or not depends on what decision the government takes in this matter.

Russia has not yet responded about the issue. Since the inception of the new President in Ukraine, Russia is in a good relation with its neighbour.

The deal the Ukraine force reached with the rebel force lately was the reflection of the European superpower’s changed attitude against Ukraine.

Far-rightist gains momentum in East Germany

By 1022 0

Far-rightist groups have emerged powerful in certain regions in East Germany, which was once the stronghold of leftism.

East Germany was formerly a leftist controlled region. Post the Second World War, it fell under the influence of the USSR, which was then the apostle of global socialism.

The emergence of far-rightist in the east is not less than a surprise. It is actually a new phenomenon.

Prior to the fall of Berlin wall – the wall which separated the leftist controlled East Germany from the liberalist controlled West Germany, it was not even a distance possibility.

Sadly, what is witnessed at this point of time is a dangerous phenomenon. Lately, far-right groups have organised several attacks in the country.

Recently, around twelve members of a far rightist organisation have been booked by the German police as their involvement in several political crimes in the name of far-right has been identified.

As per a police report, they had intention to attack asylum seekers, religious centers and politicians.

The Germany government has stepped up their ante against the far-right. It has recently launched several operations to contain the activities of far-right in the country – especially in the eastern region of the country.

Leaked video spoils Macron’s best man’s political career

By 1254 0

A leaked video has spoiled the political career of Benjamin Griveaux, who is considered as a close ally of French President Emanuel Macron.

He was the candidate of Macron’s party for the Paris mayor election. He was one of the top three hopefuls.

Mr. Griveaux has expressed his sadness about the leakage of the video.

Interestingly, highlighting the importance of the separation of politics from personal life, many French politicians have supported the tainted politician. They have unanimously appealed against the Americanisation of the French politics.

The French politics is different from the American one. It favours the separation of politics from personal life, unlike the United States.

Anyway, the development is a major blow to Mr. Macron. The French President’s party has suffered several backlashes recently, from the reduction of its strength in the parliament to the losses it has faced in the recent elections.

Though these blows are not strong enough to disturb the continuation of Mr. Macron as the President of the country immediately, it may impact his position in the long run.

Meanwhile, there is a different side also. The ruling party, if work rightly, can utilise the emotion, generated against the Americanisation of the French politics, in its favour to gain a political mileage from the development.

By 1418 0

A Russian woman, who returned from China recently – which is under the clutches of coronavirus outbreak, has declined to stay quarantined as she has found it irrelevant to say that manner as she has been tested negative to the virus.

She, who stays in her flat in Russia at present, has refused to pay heed to the request made by the Russian authority to return to where she has stayed quarantined.

The woman has appeared through her social media platform to explain why she has refused to accept the request made by the Russian authority.

She has justified her stand by highlighting the fact that she has been tested negative to the virus.

Placing those who return from China quarantined for nearly fourteen days is a normal procedure adopted by most countries including Russia.

At present, several people stay quarantined in Russia as part of this policy.

What the Russian authority tries at this moment is to secure a court order to forcibly bring the woman back to where she has stayed quarantined.

Numerous people have died in China due to this disease outbreak. The outbreak has already spread to nearly 20 countries, including Russia – where at least two cases have been reported so far.

The virus poses a serious threat to human. It is unfortunate that some people still are not aware about the depth of the situation.
