U.S in Limbo Over Kursk Incursion Aid: Washington Puzzled by Kiev’s Russian Land Seizure Strategy

The Biden administration is reportedly uncertain about providing aid for Ukraine’s recent incursion into Russia’s Kursk Region.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon has requested information on what Ukraine needs but has yet to make definitive aid decisions.

Bangladesh Protests: Former Indian Diplomat Blames Economic Strain, Political Opportunists

Former Indian Foreign Secretary and ex-Ambassador to Bangladesh, Harsh Vardhan Shringla, has analysed the ongoing crisis in Bangladesh, attributing it to a mix of economic hardship, political opportunism, and possible foreign interference. Shringla emphasised that while the protests ostensibly stem from issues like job quotas, deeper economic problems—including the impact of COVID-19 and the Ukraine conflict—have exacerbated the situation. He suggested that political groups like the BNP and Jamaat-e-Islami, as well as foreign actors, may be fueling the unrest to their advantage, contributing to the volatility in Bangladesh. #bangladeshprotests #SheikhMujiburRahmanStatue #MujiburRahmanStatueVandalised #bangladeshnews #sheikhhasina #bangladeshnewsupdate #studentprotest #bangladeshantigovtprotests #bangladeshjobquotaprotest #bangladeshreservation #latestnews #breakingnews ~HT.178~PR.152~ED.102~GR.125~
