Russian-born entrepreneur Alex Konanykhin offered $1 million to any military officer who catches Russian President Vladimir Putin "dead or alive" for allegedly committing "war crimes" in his invasion of Ukraine.
Russian President Putin also assured India that their military was doing everything possible to ensure the safe evacuation of Indians from the conflict zone. Russia has provided safe passage to Indians on the govt's request.
The Central Government stated that out of around 20000 Indian nationals in Ukraine, 30% had already reached India and 30% are in the neighboring countries. Efforts are underway to rescue the rest.
The Ukraine-Russia crisis has resulted in Xenophobia against Russia of the worst kind. It is an antidote to the idea of 'solidarity' where one group is hailed, and the other is demoralized while global leaders continue to solve the geopolitical puzzle.
