RUSSIAN INVASION OF UKRAINE, VALUES OF UNITED NATIONS AND CAUTIOUS APPROACH OF INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY: THE NUCLEAR ARMS FACTOR

Abstract: The idea of every war is usually sparked by action, inaction of someone or encouragement of a state of affairs, nurtured by the pride or vultous ambition of players in the events leading to the war. The avoidable but now catastrophic war in Ukraine is not any different but its wild consequences, including annexation of some Ukranian Regions, war crimes and crimes against humanity, along with threat of deployment of Nuclear weapons in the C21st called for interrogation in this paper. Using doctrinal approach, the paper examined rhetorics of all sides to this conflict from the background of values of the United Nations and inability of the United Nations to engage in proactive measures to arrest the ugly trend, and decried situation where world powers denigrate values of the United Nations where their national interests are involved and thus recommended that these endorsed values require a review. The paper noted that with the commitment of America and its allies to decimate Russian Political influence and with Putin’s determination to stay afloat despite enormity of his antagonists, it now takes intervention of a man with tall credentials to bring parties involved, both real and proxy, together, for a dialogue. The paper thus recommended that with existential threat to humanity by this war, both sides and their allies should bury the hatchet to ensure painful compromises for peace, while the world returned to the drawing board to reassess the structure and values of the United Nations, along with the future of Nuclear arms, to reflect contemporary realities.

Keywords: Invasion of Ukraine, Values of United Nations, Cautious Approach, International Community; and Nuclear arms.
