Ukraine's independence-era voices say Russia's control effort spans decades

Business Standard

Oleksandr Donii was one of the leaders of student-led protests for sovereignty and political reform in 1990 that preceded Ukraine's declaration of independence. He remembers thinking the fight for autonomy would take decades. Instead, it came much sooner than he ever imagined. When the Soviet Union collapsed, Ukraine quickly declared independence in 1991 and later conducted a referendum backed by more than 90 per cent of voters. I was preparing myself for prisons and labour camps, and I thought the struggle would last about 2030 years, Donii told The Associated Press. Moscow's grip endured after independence As the country marks 34 years since that monumental event Sunday, Donii and others from Ukraine's first generation of lawmakers and activists describe how despite separation from the Soviet Union, Moscow's grip endured. Russia used political pressure, social division and the sidelining of pro-Western voices. That eventually paved the way for the full-scale invasion of Ukraine .

Business Standard

The country's biggest hospitality player Indian Hotels Company Limited (IHCL) is looking at forging strategic acquisitions to expand its presence in existing markets and enter select destinations in Europe and Southeast Asia, CEO and MD Puneet Chhatwal said. In an interview to PTI, he shared that the Tata Group-owned firm will not acquire more physical assets for its marquee brand the Taj and instead, opt for an operating contract arrangement. Large hospitality firms typically have a mix of owned as well as managed or operated properties in their portfolio. IHCL uses the terminology of asset light and asset heavy, with the latter denoting a physical asset it owns. As part of its 'Accelerate 2030' strategy unveiled earlier, IHCL has set a target of over 700 hotels in its portfolio by 2030. Asked if IHCL was looking at expansion in key markets globally and entering new markets via more strategic acquisitions, Chhatwal said, "Absolutely, we would be looking at it because we are a...

India can explore alternative seafood markets to blunt tariffs: MPEDA chief

Business Standard

India's seafood industry can explore alternative markets to cushion the impact of higher US tariffs on a range of Indian goods, D V Swamy, chairman of the Marine Products Export Development Authority (MPEDA), said on Saturday. Swamy noted that the country's marine products sector has repeatedly shown resilience in the face of crises. He said the Centre has identified Russia, the UK, the European Union, Norway, Switzerland, the Middle East and South Korea as new focus markets for seafood exports. Let's not call it an obstacle; it's actually an opportunity. We learn from challenges and improve with each of them, Swamy said at a press conference on the eve of MPEDA's 53rd anniversary. The agency is an autonomous body under the Union Ministry of Commerce and Industry, mandated to promote India's seafood exports. The MPEDA chief said the sector has been adaptive throughout its five-decade history and stressed the need to diversify both markets and seafood varieties. Ecuador is one countr
