New Delhi | Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi stated that the Indian Army is carefully monitoring the conflict in Ukraine as it serves as a living laboratory reflecting conditions similar to those along India’s borders.
Speaking at the Delhi Defence Dialogue 2025, he explained that the future of warfare is defined by competition and continuous challenges rather than prolonged peace. According to him, the world is witnessing the decline of extended peace periods and the rise of multifaceted conflicts driven by rapid technological advancements.
