Russia-Ukraine conflict from a UPSC perspective.
Is it important for UPSC prep?
Yes, but not in the way that you think.
So what's important here for UPSC CSE ๐Ÿงต
What's NOT important?
Eliminating the obvious:
โ€ข Who has control of the Kiev airport.
โ€ข Who is the Ghost of Kiev.
โ€ข What happened in the conflict today.
You don't need to know any of this for UPSC CSE prep.
However, you might need to know all that for answering your relatives who will quiz you along with a nice "UPSC ki taiyarri kar rahe ho, ye to aata hi hoga"
(You're preparing for UPSC, you should know this)
What is IMPORTANT for UPSC prep?
โ€ข What are the economic/geographical causes for this?
โ€ข What is the role of UN/NATO here?
โ€ข What is India's stand? Why?
โ€ข What are the levels of response?
โ€ข How will it impact India (& world) eco/politically?
Look at the underlying causes.
Understand the macro drivers for the Russia-Ukraine conflict and you will understand it's relevance for UPSC CSE (especially for GS2 in Mains).

Yet at the same time, we should acknowledge that it's a humanitarian crisis for the Ukrainian people.
