By 761 0

The continent of Europe has witnessed a sharp increase of forty per cent in the Covid-19 daily death case load compared to the daily case load the continent witnessed last week.

France, Spain, the UK, the Netherlands and Russia are the worst affected countries in this part of the world.

Some of these countries have already reintroduced certain strict measures necessary to bring down the daily death case load.

The increase has brought a severe stress to the hospital infrastructure of the continent of Europe – which is much more well equipped compared to the same elsewhere in the world.

The Covid-19 infection rate in Russia is alarmingly high. It is high time to find a solution to this crisis.

Italy is one of the first countries which have reintroduced certain tough measures to curb the spread of the dangerous virus.

Sadly, most of those countries which have reintroduced the restrictions have witnessed severe resistance from their local population.

It is clear that a section of society is tired of the restrictions, and are no way willing to tolerate another period of the restrictions.

Russia-Norway relation hits new low

By 752 0

The relation between Russia and Norway has hit a new low, after the latter alleged that the former attacked the email system of Norwegian parliament with the help of Russian cyber attackers.

Russia has denied the allegation levelled against the country by Norway. The European power has called the allegation provocative.

Meanwhile, Norway has criticized Russia with hard words. The country has termed the attack extremely serious.

Norway and Russia are not in a good relation with each other. Norway technically stands with the European Union. At the same time, Russia is technically out of the union.

The latest development is expected to widen the gap between the European Union and Russia, which is the successor of the erstwhile Soviet Socialist Republics of Russia.

It is important that the issue in the Eastern Europe is handled in a sensible manner. It is pertinent to note that the disturbance in the region can easily trigger a global crisis.

Belarus dictator reaches Russia

By 875 0

Alexander Lukashenko, the dictator of Belarus, has reached Russia, to meet his Russian counterpart and supporter, Vladimir Putin.

He has been accommodated in a resort near Black Sea.

It is clear that the visit has a link to the ongoing protest of pro-democratic activists in Belarus.

Russia earlier said that it was ready to send its force to Belarus to support the Belarus leader.

The only country which supports the Belarus dictator at present is Russia. The European Union does not recognise the leader and recently dismissed the election which was allegedly conducted in an unfair manner.

It is the first time since the emergence of the protest that the two leaders are meeting.

The development is keenly observed by the rest of the European world.

Some observers have already termed the meeting as highly crucial.

Already, the Belarus government’s attitude towards the protest has invited huge criticism. If the country continues this attitude, it will lead the European world to a great danger.

It is not wise to let the protest continue in this manner. It is unfortunate that the Belarus dictator shows no remorse for the unacceptable way his force has handled to the protest.

It is high time to find a solution to the Belarus issue.
