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.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is facing intense criticism from within his own ranks following significant battlefield setbacks in both the Donbass and Kursk regions. According to the Financial Times, soldiers, lawmakers, and military analysts are expressing frustration over the rapid advances made by Russian forces, which have reportedly exploited weaknesses in Ukraine’s defense strategy.
