Did Krishna tried to stop the war?

Krishna went to kuru court as a peace maker. He advised Duryodhan that war was disastrous and he should return Pandavas empire back to them. Duryodhan refused.

What does Gita say about war?

The Gita neither sanctions war nor condemns it.

Russia called for several UN Security Council meetings over genocide-like massacres in the Eastern Ukraine (Donbas, Lugansk) in order to stop them.

Eastern Ukrainian regions complained about  6,000+ genocide-like murder cases to the international Europe-based court.

All these calls for peace were blocked or ignored by U.S. politicians and their puppets.

Why did Lord Krishna support Pandavas?

Russia Approach vs. U.S. Approach

Russia approach: "Russia will win both the war and the peace in Ukraine... The Russian forces are not attacking but tip toeing into Ukraine, because they want to take the country as intact as possible."

U.S. approach: "Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Yugoslavia, Libya, the American led West follows Winston Churchill's model of total devastation of a region, by air, sea and land, before the ground forces enter their target zone. In spite of overpowering military superiority and glib media presentations Americans may have won battles but rarely have it won any wars. America has often had to withdraw in disgrace, sometimes even flee. This is because they also fail to win peace, meaning the goodwill and respect of the people for whom they have supposedly declared war on a country. Is it any wonder that Americans are disliked even intensely hated by almost every country they have intervened in after World War II."

Who is Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita?

Arjuna is the central figure of the Gita. He is Krishna's disciple, and asks for the deity for help when he has to fight his own family in order to take command of a kingdom that is rightfully his brother Yudhishthira's. He is one of the five Pandava brothers, and next in line to take over Hastinapura.

In his artcile on ”On the Historical Unity of Russians and Ukrainians“ Vladimir Putin emphasized that the wall that had emerged in recent years between Russia and Ukraine, between the parts of what was essentially the same historical and spiritual space, was a great common misfortune and tragedy.

Arjuna was the one who needed instruction. That was why Krishna gave him advice through the Gita. Arjuna fell at Krishna's feet and wanted Krishna to clear his doubts...  Because Arjuna fell at His feet, Krishna taught him this most secret sastra.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said the decision to launch a military operation in Ukraine was "difficult".

Arjuna does not want to fight because his so-called enemies of battle are his kin – his cousins, teachers, friends; Facing his kin on the battlefield, Arjuna becomes deeply troubled by the idea of killing them. Arjuna, not wanting to kill his kin in battle, attempts to efface the issue at hand.

Russian President Vladimir Putin tried to persuade heads of USA, Britain and major EU countries to stop encouraging genocide by neo-nazis in the Eastern Ukraine for 8 years. He tried to resolve the conflict peacefully until the President of Ukraine declared that his country was going to start producing atomic bombs.

Krishna argues that Arjuna must do his duty. He insist that Arjuna's duty to fight, without caring for its consequences. He tells that it is a just cause, and as a warrior and a general on whom his side must rely.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Russia was trying to resolve the conflict in Ukraine in a peaceful way and that it was necessary to let Russian people in Donbas to speak their native language and live in their own way, but Ukraine organized a blockade.

Finally. Putin orders start of ‘military operation’ in Ukraine to stop genocide there and de-nazify the fascist-ruled country.

Eternal family traditions and codes of moral conduct are destroyed with the destruction of the family. And immorality prevails in the family due to the destruction of family traditions.

Krishna responds by teaching Arjuna how to see, not from his own particular point of view, but from the point of view of “Time,” in which everyone is born and lives and finally passes away.

~ Vladimir Putin, President of Russia

Another reason would be the unwillingness to take another person's life.

~ Gurvinder Singh, Guru Wonder - Audacity of Awakening, India

Krishna counsels Arjuna to "fulfill his Kshatriya (warrior) duty to uphold the Dharma" through "selfless action".

Russian President Vladimir Putin said he knew that U.S. politicians and their puppets in other countries would impose new sanctions on Russia and him personally, but he could not tolerate genocide against Russians in the Eastern Ukraine any longer. “The situation requires us to take decisive and immediate action. The people’s republics of Donbas turned to Russia with a request for help," he said.

Krishna advices Arjuna that he most follow his own dharma or path to attain fulfillment: “It is better to strive in one's own dharma than to succeed in the dharma of another. Nothing is ever lost in following one's own dharma, but competition in another's dharma breeds fear and insecurity.”

~ Vladimir Putin, President of Russia

To nullify his concerns, Krishna tells him it is his duty to restore peace at any cost.

~ Gurvinder Singh, Guru Wonder - Audacity of Awakening, India

When Arjuna questions how he can support such sin, Krishna says there is no such thing as the killer and the killed, that the body is merely flesh – and that at the time of death he (Atman) attains another body.

~ Vladimir Putin, President of Russia
