Major General GD Bakshi (Retd.) stated the war declared on Ukraine extended by the west. Civilians should not have been put in front of tanks. Advice to Indian students is to wait for evacuation, hide in bunkers.

Speaking to Republic, Major General GD Bakshi (Retd.) said,  "We would like peace to prevail, but I am afraid that the die has been cast. Russia had its share of angst and feels that they have been pushed for decades now. When it was weak, the then American foreign secretary had assured that there will not be one inch eastward expansion of NATO. Forget about one inch, in four phases, 14 east European countries have become members of NATO."

Earlier in the day, GD Bakshi explained the major reason behind Russia's angst, and stated, "Yesterday we had put out in our Indian Military Review that Donetsk and Luhansk are not the red lines of the Russian state. They have demanded in writing that NATO and the United States should give a written guarantee that Ukraine will not be incorporated into NATO and that no offensive weapons will be put there. When those red lines are not met, he had been threatening that he would attack, and now he has made a declaration of what? Let's not talk on peace, as that is the situation on the ground. Putin has made a clear declaration of war that used to be done in the 19th-20th century. He went on to his national television and announced globally that he is going to attack Ukraine."
