Maldives’s Debt Continues to Pile, Efforts to Secure Assistance from Allies Fruitless| Oneindia News
Maldives faces a severe economic crisis with mounting debt, reaching nearly USD 4.038 billion, prompting President Muizzu to seek aid from China and Middle Eastern nations.
Despite delays in Chinese assistance, India remains vigilant, preparing to replace military crews and bolstering regional security with new bases in Lakshadweep.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the Maldives has emerged as a key geopolitical moment in the Indian Ocean. In this exclusive ground report, Senior Journalist Umashankar Singh brings you on-the-ground insights from Male, as President Mohamed Muizzu appears to pivot away from Chinese influence and welcome renewed ties with India.
India’s announcement of a ₹4,850 crore loan and growing strategic cooperation is seen as a counter to China’s rising debt-trap diplomacy in the region. What does this mean for the Maldives, for India, and for China’s shrinking space in South Asia? Watch this full report from Male to understand the power play unfolding in real time.

In an exclusive conversation with OneIndia News, Vlada Galan – Geopolitical Strategist; President & Chair, International Ukrainian Crisis Fund, says that Trump used India as a Pawn to pressure Putin into a Summit. Vlada however clears that the sanctions on India were nothing personal against India and only a pressure-tactic against Putin, which played a role to some extent to get the Alaska meeting in place.

During the live coverage of the historic Trump–Putin meeting in Alaska, a heated debate broke out between Burzine Waghmar SOAS, University of London, and journalist Nagen Singh of OneIndia News. Waghmar argued that Russia’s economy is overheated and claimed Putin cannot sustain the Ukraine war beyond a year. He also questioned India’s obsession with Moscow and the romanticization of Indo-Russian ties. Countering him, Singh accused the West of hypocrisy and blamed the UK and U.S. for India’s deep-rooted closeness with Russia.

Political Commentator Cliston Brown reiterates the meeting will not yield anything, and even as there are meetings after meetings, the war continues and that is what Putin wants.

In an exclusive conversation with OneIndia, Burzine Waghmar – SOAS, University of London, says that he is not very optimistic of the meeting delivering any big deals or breakthroughs in the meeting. Waghmar adds that this meeting is just a precursor to a second meeting between Putin & Trump, possibly in Moscow and even a trilateral meeting which could involve Putin, Trump and Zelensky.

In an exclusive conversation with OneIndia News, Vlada Galan – Geopolitical Strategist; President & Chair, International Ukrainian Crisis Fund, says that Putin is running short of time and this time around Trump has called out his bluff. Vlada adds that Putin will suffer consequences as Trump is not afraid to impose secondary sanctions on Russia's largest trading partners. Vlada says that Putin is aware that he can't 'make a 'fool' out of Trump and hence there could be a breakthrough at the Summit

The Middle East spirals into deeper chaos as Hamas vows revenge after Israeli airstrikes killed 10 people in Yemen’s capital, Sana’a. The strikes followed Houthi missile attacks on Tel Aviv, intensifying Israel’s two-front war. Hamas denounced Netanyahu’s “fascist aggression” and urged Arab unity, while Islamic Jihad signaled readiness to join the fight. Analysts warn that a Hamas-Houthi-Islamic Jihad coalition, backed by Iran, could overstretch the IDF. With Netanyahu rejecting peace deals and Iran pushing for revenge, fears of World War 3 escalation grow.

The UN has officially declared a famine in Gaza—the first ever in the Middle East—warning that over 500,000 Palestinians are already starving, with numbers expected to rise beyond 640,000 by September. The IPC has raised Gaza to Phase Five, its highest alert level, amid Israel’s blockade preventing vital aid deliveries. Despite repeated UN warnings, Israel dismisses famine claims as “Hamas lies.” Meanwhile, wealthy Muslim nations largely remain silent, focusing on ties with Israel while Gaza faces unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe.
