    DES MOINES, Iowa, November 30, 2022 (Newswire.com)
    –
    Former Montana Secretary of State and current Republican presidential candidate Corey Stapleton says the United States needs to be significantly more involved in both the defense and rebuilding of Ukraine following its February invasion from neighboring Russia.

    While crediting President Joe Biden for publicly sharing numerous intelligence reports showing the buildup of Russian troops prior to the invasion, Stapleton was critical of Biden’s decision to vacate U.S. naval forces from the adjoining Black Sea prior to the telegraphed conflict.

    Turkey has since closed off passage into the strategic Black Sea for ships not homeported there.

    Stapleton, a former U.S. naval officer, cited the Marshall Plan as a model for both rebuilding the infrastructure in Ukraine and providing comprehensive assistance to the devastated nations facing energy and food shortages heading into winter.  The original Marshall Plan was passed in 1948 by the U.S. Congress following World War II, to help finance the rebuilding of Western Europe.

    “The Western front may be further East now,” said Stapleton, “but genocide and war are just as real as then.”

    Stapleton called on President Biden and the U.S. Congress to pass Marshall Plan II, providing an infrastructure and financial roadmap for war-torn Ukraine, coordinating with European and NATO allies and ending the Russo-Ukrainian War.

    ‘Indian students, who left Ukraine, can continue education in Russia’: Russian diplomat

    Indian students, who left Ukraine because of the Russo-Ukrainian War, now have the option to continue their education in Russia. “Indian students who left Ukraine can continue their education in Russia as the medical syllabus is almost the same (as Ukraine),” said Oleg Avdeev, Consul General of Russia in Chennai.

    Avdeev said “They (Indian students) know the language of people, as in Ukraine, most of them spoke Russian. They’re most welcome in Russia,” according to the news agency ANI.

    As many as 20,000 Indian students, who were pursuing education in Ukraine, had to leave the country when the Russia-Ukraine war began in February this year. These students were evacuated from the war-torn nation by India under a special drive named “Operation Ganga”.

    Most of these students were primarily in the field of medicine. However, since they returned to India, their academic future has been uncertain.

    Roman Babushkin, Deputy Chief of Mission at the Russian Embassy in New Delhi, in July 2022 also made a similar announcement. Babushkin said that Indian students, who had to leave their studies midway, will be offered admission to Russian universities without them losing out on their previous academic years.

    Since the education system and curriculum in Ukrainian universities and Russian universities are largely similar, Indian students would be able to adjust in Russia quite easily, added Babushkin.

    However, the fees being paid in Ukraine might not suffice in Russia. Babushkin said that the affected students should approach Russia House for help and guidance.

    However, it should also be noted that a significant number of students, who were rescued under Operation Ganga, have gone back to Ukraine to complete their education. As per the media reports, around 1,500 students have gone back to Ukraine.
