India has reportedly declined a U.S. offer to buy F-35 stealth fighter jets, according to Bloomberg. The offer was made by President Trump during Prime Minister Modi’s visit to Washington in February. Instead of purchasing American jets, India is prioritizing joint defense manufacturing initiatives and has shown greater interest in the Russian Su-57, especially after its debut at Aero India.
The Indian Ministry of External Affairs downplayed Bloomberg’s report, confirming no formal talks on the F-35 have taken place yet. Meanwhile, the U.S. has slapped 25% tariffs on Indian imports due to a failed trade deal, escalating tensions. Trump also announced India would face a penalty over its continued defense ties with Russia. This deepening rift could impact U.S.-India defense cooperation and reshape future arms procurement.

Russia claims it has captured the key town of Chasiv Yar in eastern Ukraine after 16 months of brutal fighting. A verified video shows Russian soldiers raising their flag in the devastated ruins, but Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and top military officials have called the claim “disinformation” and “propaganda.” Analysts warn the fall, if true, could allow Russia to edge closer to Kostiantynivka and disrupt Ukrainian logistics. Meanwhile, heavy fighting is reported near Pokrovsk, southwest of Chasiv Yar.
The town, once home to over 12,000 residents, now lies in ruins after months of Russian air raids and ground assaults. As battlefield conditions intensify, U.S. President Trump has warned of new sanctions against Moscow and its trade partners if a ceasefire isn't reached soon. With both sides trading claims and video evidence surfacing, Chasiv Yar may mark a new turning point in the eastern front of the war.
