Governance Lecturer at the Central University, Dr. Benjamin Otchere-Ankrah, has waded into the conflict between Russia and Ukraine as the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin launches an attack on Ukraine.
According to a publication by Dailymail in the United Kingdom, Russia, today, ''launched all-out war on Ukraine with simultaneous attacks coming from south, east and north, by land and by air''.
The publication further disclosed that ''missiles and bombs rained from the sky, tanks rolled across the border, troops parachuted down on eastern regions and explosions were seen across the country after Vladimir Putin gave the order to attack''.
Hundreds of Ukrainian troops are said to have been killed in the clashes.
Russian President Vladimir Putin cleared a military operation in Ukraine as diplomatic talks to prevent the clash between the two countries and the imposition of Western sanctions on Russia to deter Putin have all failed.
According to ndtv.com, Putin's action is aimed at defending separatists in the east of the country, called the Donbas region.
"I have made the decision of a military operation," he said in a statement.
President Putin has reportedly marched over 150,000 troops along the borders of Ukraine and has called on Ukrainian soldiers to lay down their arms.
US President Joe Biden has also warned of "consequences" for Russia, stressing the world will "hold Russia accountable" for her actions.
Touching on this development during Peace FM's morning show ''Kokrokoo'', Dr. Benjamin Otchere-Ankrah noted that President Putin's actions will have a huge ripple effect on world economies.
He feared there could be a ''third world war'', therefore asking God to strike Putin dead.
''Why can't God just strike him dead? . . . For a situation like this, he (Putin) should have been struck dead by the next morning," he said.
He added; ''I pray God that, when he starts the fight, he should be part of the first Russians who die.''

If Russia does not want to have NATO at its doorsteps, it can be achieved through proper dialogue and diplomacy. After all, Finland is a member of the European Union but not part of NATO, and it works, and Finland is a sovereign country and shares borders with Russia. The cold war, as it were, with the experiences of Germany and China today, demonstrates that military power alone does not make you a superpower. Thus, post-cold war Russia has failed to develop its economy and can barely assert its superpower role in world politics like it did in the era of the cold war. However, China has taken up that role as an economic and military powerhouse. The Ukraine is doing pretty well economically, and if the eastern part, which is about 60 percent Russian, becomes independent and teams up with Russia, then the West German and East German scenarios are created. In other words, history repeats itself and Ukraine's becoming economically stronger will create the threat of winning back the lost cousines. And if this scenario does happen, it will appear that Russia and Putin did not learn from history. Hence, all this rambo-action of Putin's invading of Ukraine. Please, stop insulting people when you don't share their views.
Mr Proff, USA wont allow Russians to set up a military base in Mexico or even Canada , so why set up a military base in Ukraine close to the border of Russians ....Putin is fighthing a good course and i support him.....This simple thing and Proff is lost and you are calling God to Kill the one who is right and leave the one who is wrong....Fight on Putin
"Dr" Benjamin Ankrah, if my child was your student I will withdraw him/her ASAP from your class. Because your comment tells me that you are not an intellectual, you don't read, neither do you avail yourself to critical thinking. Do you think Putin is interested in a piece of Ukrainian soil or the so-called ethnic Russians on the border. All the man is asking for is that USA and the West should not bring their guns to his border by admitting Ukraine into NATO. He has said that lets make Ukraine a prosperous and neutral country to serve as a buffer between Russia and the West, and the West has refused because their only motive isto bring their guns near Russia in anticipation of a future attack. So Putin really has no choice but to wreck Ukraine before the West lay their hands on it. the Ukrainian crisis is solely the making of USA and the Europeans who wants nothing but chaos in all parts of the world except their territory in order to continue to be global leaders Now let me give you this simple formula to make your work easier. Anytime USA and the Europeans says something, think exactly the opposite and you will not be far from the truth. Go and sin no more, empty headed so-called governance lecturer
these so called professors and intellectuals have no brains at all, where was your ***barred word*** god when america was dropping bombs on innocent people to take their resources all in the name of freedom? america is arming ukraine to break away from russia and join nato(russias arch enemy) right on its door step, remember the cuba missile crisis mr ***barred word*** professor you sit here and say anything k3k3 i feel sorry for your students....
@docta delay, you are not a human being. You even don't exist because you have no name. What is the offence in the statement made by the honourable gentleman? Do you have to insult him because you are not properly trained at home and you are going through hunger and poverty? You wouldn't have made the expression if you are a real human, blessed by God and enjoying life. You need help? Go and see your nearest Pastor for deliverance.
where was God when ira-qis , syri-ans, lib-yans , pales-tinians and yem-enese were being murdered for no reason. That God of yours will strike you dead and proceed onto your family . A BO A
