война
/voyna/Roman
English meaning: War
Definition
Armed conflict between states or groups. Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine is the largest armed conflict in Europe since WWII, with profound global consequences — food and energy crises, refugee flows (8 million displaced), NATO expansion (Finland, Sweden joined), and reconfiguration of global alliances. India's response (strategic autonomy, abstaining from UN votes) is a key UPSC topic.
Example
“Россия вторглась в Украину в 2022 году, что вызвало глобальный геополитический кризис.”
In English: “Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, triggering a global geopolitical crisis.”
Literary Heritage
“Трусость — это самый страшный порок.”
/Trusost' — eto samyy strashnyy porok./
“Cowardice is the greatest vice.”
