Russia-Ukraine Allan-e-Jung:

- Future Science-KR Chowdhury

- What will science and technology have to suffer because of the war?

Russia has launched a war by launching a missile attack on Ukraine. Many see this as World War III. But such a situation does not seem to arise. Russia was banned by the US and Europe for refusing to invade Ukraine. Despite being resolute, Russia has finally attacked and proved that "it is the world's superpower, Russia is not afraid of anyone." Russia is moving forward in partnership with several countries in the space sector. While Ukraine is on the path of progress by a new startup company in the field of information technology as well as in other fields. Research on the International Space Station is underway by US NASA and Russia. As soon as the US space shuttle program came to an end, the US, with the help of Russia, was delivering cargo to the International Space Station. Now, the situation has changed. They can leave the country and flee to other countries. After all, the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, if it lasts as long as the Gulf War, could have serious repercussions. What will this war cost at the expense of science and technology? Let's discuss the important issues of missile speed.

Allan-e-Jung: The Global Impact

In the last few weeks, tensions have risen sharply since 2014, with large-scale Russian military crackdowns on the Ukrainian border and inside Belarus. Finally, on February 8, the state of war came. The biggest impact of this war will be on the global level supply chain run by Russia and Ukraine. Ukraine and Russia have large reserves of various minerals. Russia currently supplies natural gas to many countries, including Europe. It also supplies large quantities of oil to many countries around the world. Russia controls about 10% of the world's needs. Russia also produces nickel and platinum metals. Nickel is an essential raw material for making batteries for electrical vehicles. While copper is very necessary for making electronics and electrical products. 'Neon' is supplied by Ukraine for the industry making American silicon chips. Due to the war this supply and export will stop.

Northrop Grumman is known for launching the Cygnus Robotic Response Mission on the Antares rocket space station. The Ukrainian-made first phase of the Antares rocket is powered by two Russian-made RD-181 engines. The first phase supply to Northrop Gruman will be cut off. Russia, with its robotic progress cargo spacecraft, is pushing the International Space Station into low earth orbit. When the International Space Station loses its height, Russia's progress craft becomes crucial to re-establishing it in a fixed orbit. The International Space Station could be in crisis due to the war. NASA uses a Russian-made ultra-powerful RD-180 rocket engine in its Atlas-F rocket. In the near future, the Atlas rocket will launch the 'Earth Observation Mission'. In addition to Boeing's CST-100 Star liner capsule, orbital flying testing is scheduled for May. Due to the war they will not get Russian-made rocket engines and various mechanical parts. So as to have an impact on important scientific projects.

Cyber ​​Attack: The Beginning of the Destruction of Ukraine

Even before the actual war began, Russian hackers had launched cyber attacks on various branches of the Ukrainian government. Internet traffic became uncontrollable and flooded. Data erasing malware was created. Everyone knows that Moscow was behind the attack. Ukraine's technological ecosystem has been devastated by a cyber attack. This includes new start-ups and old established technology companies. It will be their turn to suffer huge economic losses due to the war. Riddle is one of the leading bootstrapped startups outside of Ukraine. Which creates PDF, email and other productivity tools. Riddle has become an international company. Its offices are located in 11 countries. There are many domestic startups in Ukraine. These companies are mainly involved in big known companies. Which is a home wireless security company.

Writing engine company - Grammarlino, based on Artificial Intelligence, grammar and writing test, the most widely used mobile app for changing faces in videos and photos, 'Reface', a pet protection system provider - PetCube, working for sales and marketing intelligence. The problem of 'PeopleAi' etc. may increase. Mac Po, the maker of software for the operating system Mac OS, is headquartered in Kiev. 200 Google employees are working in Russia. Uber operates in nine cities in Ukraine. Tiktok and his parent 'Bait Dance' do not usually disclose how many employees they have in Russia and Ukraine. The war will have a major impact on Ukraine's information technology-based companies and products.

Is. 2014: Disaster strikes for scientists

In early 2014, a pro-European government was elected in Ukraine. That same year, Russia invaded Ukraine and occupied the Crimean peninsula. Declared it an independent country. Research institutes operating in the Crimea, formerly administered by the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. It was occupied by the Russian government. These institutions were then transferred to Russian control. As a result of the conflict, many Ukrainian researchers have severed ties with Russia and forged new ties with their counterparts in Europe, the United States and China. Ilya Khadzainov, vice-rector of scientific work at the university, says, "It was sad to lose the established relationship and build a new one, but it has given us a new perspective.

When Russia invaded Ukraine recently, Ukrainian scientists told the world-renowned science magazine Nature that "the war will halt their progress and they will not be able to work under stress." "Right now, I'm sitting in a warm place and the internet is available," says Irina Yegorchenko, a mathematician at the Institute of Mathematics in Kiev, near the Ukrainian border with Belarus. I don't know if this will happen tomorrow. ' . "Russia's goal in general is to create chaos in Ukraine and to worsen the economic situation," he said. We know we will have less funding for research, fewer opportunities to travel and zero opportunities for internal conferences in Ukraine. " Yuri Danko, an economist at the institute, says in a private conversation that "scientists have created an 'emergency suitcase' with documents and essentials." So that one can flee the country at any moment. ' How do the staff at Sumi National Agrarian University, 40 kilometers from the Russian border, deal with enemies in a war situation? He has been trained. After all, even scientists are human. They are not Army soldiers.

Chernobyl nuclear reactor: Occupy on the first day of the war

On the first day of the war, Russian forces captured Prepyat. Where the Chernobyl nuclear reactor is located. Many may wonder why Russia has occupied the Chernobyl site. The answer is quite simple. Russia's occupation of Chernobyl has nothing to do with the nuclear energy program. Russia has occupied it due to the simple geography of Prepyat. Where the Chernobyl nuclear reactor is located. Prepyat sits directly on the highway in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine. It is surrounded by moist soil. On the west side there is a clear, reliable road parallel to the river. By capturing it, Russia can easily transport its tanks, armored vehicles and artillery to Ukraine without getting stuck in most of the swamps. There are 12 nuclear reactors operating in Ukraine. Six of these reactors are located on both sides of western Ukraine, Rivne and Khmelnitsky. Three reactors are located near Mykolev in southern Ukraine. Crimea, which Russia has occupied in the past, has six nuclear reactors. Which has been constructed with a view to a possible war attack.

The Chernobyl nuclear reactor crashed on the 19th. Chernobyl's reactor-3, 19 melted. As a result, 21 people lost their lives immediately. Hundreds of people were affected by the radiation. The Chernobyl nuclear reactor was completely shut down in 2000 for safety reasons. Today, Reactor-2 has been sealed under a huge steel and concrete structure. Called the New Safe Confidence. Its construction was completed in 2013. By 2018, an estimated 500 tonnes of radioactive fuel has been buried under reactor-2 in tomb-like structures. The explosive force of bombs and missiles can break the structure. Of these, two isotopes, Cesium-12 and Strontium-20, are likely to be released into the atmosphere. Exposure to large amounts of cesium-12 can cause burns, radiation sickness, and death. Strontium-20 is the most harmful to humans. When it is inhaled, it can damage body parts. It can cause bone cancer in humans. War is not a welcome thing.
