Iulia Vantur on Russia invasion of Ukraine
Iulia shared links that will help people to donate to war victims. Iulia used the hashtag 'Stand With Ukraine' that has been trending on social media for the past few days. Priyanka Chopra, Tillotama Shome, Rahul Dholakia, Onir and Sonu Sood are among Indian celebs who have voiced concern over the ongoing Russia and Ukraine conflict.
Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the country's nuclear forces put on high alert in response to what he called “aggressive statements” by leading NATO powers. This order means Putin wants Russia's nuclear weapons prepared for increased readiness to launch and raises the threat that Moscow's invasion of Ukraine and the West's response to it could boil over into nuclear warfare.
Putin threatened in the days before Russia's invasion to retaliate harshly against any nations that intervened directly in the conflict in Ukraine, and he specifically raised the specter of his country's status as a nuclear power. Ukraine's health minister reported Saturday that 198 people, including three children, had been killed and more than 1,000 others wounded. It was unclear whether those figures included both military and civilian casualties. Russia has not released any casualty information.
