Ukraine is on the brink of getting invaded by Russia as the war has entered 5th day with no sign of tensions from both sides getting defused. Though delegations from both the countries assembled in Belarus to initiate peace talks but so far no conclusions is reached. Russian President has put the country's nuclear deterrent force on alert while Zelenskyy warned Russian troops to leave the country and save their lives. Russia on Monday said that a solution is only possible if Moscows' security interests are considered. Zelenskyy also appears to show no sign of surrendering, in fact, asking the West to punish Moscow with more sanctions, demanding immediate approval to Ukraine's EU membership and defense aid to fight Russian forces.
