    Ukraine joining NATO will guarantee World War 3: Russian official

    Ukraine joining NATO will guarantee World War 3: Russian official
    Ukraine said it has only 10% of what it needs for defense.

    Ukraine joining the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) — which Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has been pushing for long — would certainly lead to World War III, Russia's Security Council deputy secretary Alexander Venediktov told TASS, the state news agency, on Thursday. This came after the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) met on Wednesday to condemn Russia annexing Ukraine's territories following 'referendums'.

    Why does this story matter?

    • Russia and Ukraine have been warring for seven months since the former invaded the latter's territory for what it calls 'liberation'.
    • Ukraine is insistent on joining NATO — an intergovernmental military force established by the Western powers.
    • The West had formed NATO essentially to 'defend' itself from the Eastern Bloc under the influence of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR).

    143 out of 193 nations vote in favor, India abstains

    The UNGA met late on Wednesday to table a resolution calling Russia's annexation of the Ukrainian territories of Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia illegal. Out of 193 member nations, 143 voted in favor of the resolution, while India and China along with three other countries abstained from voting. Last month, Russia vetoed a similar resolution in the 15-member United Nations Security Council (UNSC).
