In a high-stakes diplomatic moment, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and proposed a meeting on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in September.
The call comes as India faces escalating tariff threats from Donald Trump over its continued purchase of Russian oil — a key source of funding for Moscow’s war machine, according to Washington.
Zelensky expressed gratitude for Modi’s warm words but urged stronger support from India, hinting at a potential turning point in New Delhi’s balancing act between East and West.
With the Ukraine war dragging into its fourth year, global pressure is mounting. Will India hold its neutral stance — or step further into the geopolitical crossfire?

Thailand’s Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra is under fire as thousands take to the streets of Bangkok demanding her resignation.
The protests erupted after a leaked call with Cambodia’s Senate President Hun Sen, in which Paetongtarn dismissed a Thai army commander’s criticism of Cambodia amid a deadly border clash. The scandal has shattered her fragile coalition, with the Bhumjaithai Party pulling support and anti-corruption agencies launching probes. The opposition, including monarchist-aligned Yellow Shirts, is rallying in full force, evoking memories of past coups against the Shinawatra family.
Cambodia's Hun Sen, now Senate President, accused Thailand of invading Cambodian territory and warned of escalating tensions. Paetongtarn denies wrongdoing, but with possible suspension by the Constitutional Court looming, her grip on power is rapidly weakening. Protesters claim she compromised national dignity; the court's decision next week could change Thailand's political course.

South China Sea Breaking: In a significant escalation of defensive capabilities, Taiwan has officially formed its first combat-ready HIMARS rocket unit. This move is designed to strengthen deterrence against increasing threats and military pressure from China. Taiwan's Defense Minister, Wellington Koo, lauded the new unit as a "significant boost" to the island's defensive power, underscoring the strategic importance of this deployment. The soldiers operating these advanced systems have completed specialized training in the United States, highlighting the close military cooperation between Washington and Taipei.
The M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) is a game-changer for Taiwan's military. It can fire six 227mm rockets or a single Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) missile, the latter boasting a range of up to 300 kilometers. This impressive range means that key military and strategic targets deep within mainland China's coastal provinces are now potentially within Taiwan's strike capability. Reports suggest that Taiwan may have already acquired these long-range ATACMS missiles, a detail that is sure to alarm military planners in Beijing.
This deployment is part of a larger arms deal with the U.S., with 11 of a total 29 HIMARS systems already delivered. The move aligns with America's broader strategy to build a strong coalition in the Indo-Pacific to counter China's growing military and economic dominance. While the HIMARS system has proven its devastating effectiveness in the Ukraine conflict, analysts note that China's more advanced air defense systems could pose a greater challenge. The activation of this unit comes as Chinese military aircraft and vessels continue to cross the sensitive median line of the Taiwan Strait, prompting regular intrusion warnings from Taipei and keeping the region on high alert.
