The Russia-Ukraine war exposes a complex paradox of power where the world’s most powerful country, with all its resources, is falling short in coercing a much more weakened Russia to kowtow to its demands.
Moscow says most drones were intercepted near its southwestern border with Ukraine, and no casualties or property damage were reported. Two airports were briefly shut as a precaution.
His comments come after it was reported that he encouraged deeper Ukrainian strikes on Russia and asked Zelenskyy if he could hit Moscow with long-range weapons.
American president did not give a number of Patriots he plans to send to Ukraine, but said the United States would be reimbursed for their cost by the EU.
Ukrainian president said Zelenskyy said the two leaders had discussed 'several other important matters' that officials from the two sides would be considering in forthcoming meetings.
A Russian statement appears to endorse a narrative that Trump has repeatedly promoted, that his diplomatic efforts were instrumental in halting the India-Pakistan armed conflict.
International media highlights Ukraine’s major blow to Russia’s aerial cruise missile strike capability, with footage of airfields in flames and drones reportedly hitting multiple planes.
What Putin sees when he surveys the international scene is weakness. In his thinking, such weakness needs to be exploited – now is the time to hurt Ukraine as much as possible.
Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
India-Russia JV is also racing to deliver 7,000 more AK-203 assault rifles by 15 Aug. These are currently being made with 50% indigenisation and this will surge to 100% by 31 December.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
