Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Moscow to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin has stirred concerns within the Biden administration, especially as it coincided with a major NATO summit in Washington. This visit, described as a strategic misstep by U.S. officials, complicates the optics for Washington as it seeks to isolate Russia and bolster support for Ukraine. Despite U.S. attempts to dissuade the timing of the meeting, Modi proceeded, emphasizing India's independent foreign policy stance. This incident underscores the complexities of the U.S.-India relationship, as the U.S. tries to strengthen its alliance with India to counter China's growing influence. Will this meeting strain the growing ties between the two democracies? Watch to find out more.

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg has acknowledged the uncertainty surrounding Ukraine's potential membership in the military alliance, stating that its accession is contingent on the outcome of its ongoing conflict with Russia. In an interview with CBS News on Sunday, Stoltenberg, who is set to step down in October, clarified that there is no definitive timeline for Ukraine’s NATO membership, even suggesting it might not occur within the next decade. Stoltenberg was questioned about his preference for Ukraine to join NATO by 2034 rather than within the next few years. He responded, “Well, no one has said exactly 10 years but it’s obvious that it is a very serious issue to bring in Ukraine,” emphasising the complexity of integrating a nation currently embroiled in war. He added, “The most important thing for NATO now is to step up our support to Ukraine to ensure that Ukraine prevails. That’s a precondition for any future membership for Ukraine.”

Ukraine’s top commander, Aleksandr Syrsky, is reportedly ready to lay down arms and capitulate to Russia, according to a claim made by a lawmaker from President Vladimir Zelensky’s party. The claim was made by MP Mariana Bezuglaya from the ‘Servant of the People’ party, who is also the deputy chair of the National Security, Defense, and Intelligence Committee.
Syrsky, who became Ukraine’s highest-ranking general in early February, succeeded Valery Zaluzhny, the former general who oversaw last year’s unsuccessful attempts to repel Russian forces. Bezuglaya accused Syrsky and Zaluzhny of secretly colluding to prevent a Ukrainian victory, stating that the two generals belong to a “generals’ mafia” that is more interested in protecting their own privileges than in defeating Russia.
