NATO
NATO was established in
the aftermath of World War II, the
organization implements the North
Atlantic Treaty, which was signed
in Washington, D.C., on 4 April
1949.NATO Headquarters is the
political and administrative centre of
the Alliance. It is located at Boulevard
Leopold III in Brussels, Belgium.

MEMBERS OF NATO
In 1949, there were 12
founding members of the
Alliance: Belgium,
Canada, Denmark,
France, Iceland, Italy,
Luxembourg, the
Netherlands, Norway,
Portugal, the United
Kingdom and the United
States.

STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF NATO
The organization was formed as a means to ensure
collective security in western Europe. Even though World
War 2 had come to an end, the deteriorating relations
between two former allies, the United States and the USSR
would eventually lead to the Cold War. The USSR sought to
expand its influence in Europe through the spread
of communism, while the US saw the ideology of the USSR
as a threat to its way of life. Hence it saw the need to form
NATO.

EUROPEAN UNION
 European Union (EU), Organization
of European countries, formed in
1993 to oversee their economic and
political integration. It was created
by the Maastricht Treaty and ratified
by all members of the European
Community (EC), out of which the
EU developed. It is headquartered in
Brussels, Belgium

Finland, France, Germany,
Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy,
Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg,
Malta, Netherlands, Poland,
Portugal, Romania, Slovakia,
Slovenia, Spain and Sweden

STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF
EUROPEAN UNION
 The European Union is a supranational polity, and is neither a country nor a federation like
the United States or an organization for co-operation between governments, like the
United Nations. It is, in fact, unique. Its structure does not fall into any traditional legal
category and owes its success to the unusual way it works.
 The countries that make up the EU, its ‘Member States’, remain independent sovereign
nations but they pool their sovereignty in order to gain a strength and world influence they
would not have on their own. For details, see Practice Note: List of EU Member States and
official languages.
 The EU has an institutional framework aimed at defending its values, objectives and
interests, the interests of its citizens and those of its Member States. This framework also
contributes to ensuring the coherency, effectiveness and continuity of EU policies and
actions.

STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION
OF EUROPEAN UNION
 The EU(European Union) is core institutional framework consists of seven
institutions which represent different interests and have been allocated
executive, legislative, judicial and other powers:
 European Parliament
 Council of the European Union
 European Commission
 European Council
 Court of Justice of the European Union
 European Court of Auditors
 European Central Bank

BACKGROUN
D OF
CONFLICT
 On 24 February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine which started
war that can be traced back in 2014. The invasion caused
Europe's largest refugee crisis since World War II, with more
than 8.8 million Ukrainians fleeing the country and a third of
the population displaced.
 In 2014, Russia invaded and annexed Crimea, seized part of
the Donbas region of south-eastern Ukraine, consisting
of Luhansk and Donetsk oblasts, sparking a regional war.
 Russia began a large military build-up along its border with
Ukraine, amassing up to 190,000 troops and their equipment.
In a televised address shortly before the invasion, Russian
president Vladimir Putin challenged Ukraine's right to
statehood, and falsely claimed Ukraine was historically part of
Russia.
 On 21 February 2022, Russia recognized the Donetsk People's
Republic and the Luhansk People's Republics. The next day,
the Federation Council of Russia authorized the use of military
force, and Russian troops promptly advanced on both
territories.

BACKGROUND OF WAR
The invasion began on the morning of 24 February, when
Putin announced a "special military operation" to "demilitarize "
Ukraine. Minutes later, missiles and airstrikes hit across Ukraine,
including the capital Kyiv. A large ground invasion followed from
multiple directions. Ukrainian president Volodymyr
Zelenskyy enacted martial law and a general mobilization of all
male Ukrainian citizens between 18 and 60, who were banned
from leaving the country. Russian attacks were initially launched
on a northern front from Belarus towards Kyiv, a north-eastern
front towards Kharkiv, a southern front from Crimea, and a south-
eastern front from Luhansk and Donetsk.

GLOBAL
IMPACT OF
RUSSIA -
UKRAIN
CONFLICT
 The International Monetary Fund (IMF) had pointed
out earlier that both Russia and Ukraine are major
commodity producers, and disruptions there have
resulted in increasing global prices, especially that
of oil and natural gas. With Ukraine and Russia
accounting for up to 30% of the global exports for
wheat, food prices, too, have jumped. The IMF
added that the entire global economy would feel the
effects with slower growth and faster inflation.
 The World Bank’s has Predicted that Ukraine’s
poverty, based on the $5.50 per day threshold
rate, will increase from 1.8% in 2021 to 19.8% in
2022. United Nations suggested that a more severe
war could lead to poverty affecting nearly 30% of
the population.

GLOBAL IMPACT OF RUSSIA
UKRAIN CONFLICT
Quoting estimates from authors of a Centre for Global
Development blog, the World Bank said the latest fluctuation in
food prices could push an additional 40 million people under the
$1.90-per-day poverty line.
Energy is the “main spillover channel” for Europe, with Russia
being a prominent provider of natural gas. The World Bank noted
that the price rise for European natural gas have been particularly
sharp because of their limited spare capacity, including that of
import and export terminals, and the constraint that natural gas
must be transported as liquified natural gas.

IMPACT OF
RUSSIA-
UKRAIN
CONFLICT ON
INDIA
In the three months since the start of the
Russia-Ukraine war, foreign portfolio
investors (FPIs) pulled more than Rs. 1 lakh
crore out of Indian markets — Rs. 50,000
crores more than the combined withdrawal
of the previous nine months.
There has been a steep hike in diesel and
petrol prices in the last four weeks; and
LPG prices were steadily moving up even
before the conflict. Fuel and power have a
13% weighting in the wholesale price index,
and fuel and light have a 6.5% weighting in
the consumer price index.

IMPACT OF RUSSIA-UKRAIN
CONFLICT ON INDIA
 In its latest update, the IMF has projected a slowdown of India’s
economic growth to 6.6% from 7.2% in 2022, mainly due to changes in
oil price assumptions. The key assumption behind the GDP growth in
the Economic Survey of India last year was that oil prices would be
$70-$75 per barrel, instead of $100.
 The crisis has also pushed up the price of imported fertilizers
to India, particularly Urea and Potash from Russia. This threatens
to increase the agriculture fertilizer subsidy bill of the government
by about $1.3 billion, and the state and central governments will
have to rework their budgets to accommodate these cost escalations.

CONCLUSION
(PAST,PRESEN
T AND
FUTURE)
 The roots of the conflict go back in history. In
July 2021, President Putin wrote an article in
which he emphasised the close historical and
civilisational connections between the Russians
and Ukrainians. Two days back, he emphasised
that Ukraine has never been an independent
country and was historically part of Russia; it
was a negation of Ukraine’s existence as an
independent sovereign state. The least that
Russia wanted was that Ukraine should be in its
sphere of influence and not join NATO. Russia's
grievances against the US and Western Europe
go back more than 20 years. Russia was
opposed to the expansion of NATO, a Cold War-
era grouping, to include the former Communist
countries of Central and Eastern Europe,
especially into former Soviet space. In 1997 and
2004, NATO expanded to include former
Communist countries despite Russian
