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.

In a bold declaration during an hour-long interview with former Navy SEAL Shawn Ryan, Donald Trump praised the Russian military's prowess, citing their historical victories over Germany and Napoleon. The former U.S. President vowed to resolve the Ukraine conflict by the end of the year if re-elected. Trump criticized the disproportionate share of military aid provided by the U.S. and urged greater contributions from European NATO members. His comments, which also include a lament about depleted U.S. ammunition stockpiles, are poised to impact the ongoing debate on U.S. foreign policy and military strategy.

Russia has officially denied claims that it has been recruiting Indian citizens to fight in the Ukraine war. The Russian Embassy in New Delhi emphasized that it has not engaged in any fraudulent schemes or recruitment drives targeting Indians. Instead, Moscow is working closely with New Delhi to repatriate Indian nationals who voluntarily joined the Russian military. The embassy expressed condolences for the casualties among Indian soldiers and assured that Russia will honor all contractual obligations, including financial compensation. The situation has come under scrutiny as human traffickers lured Indians into military service with false promises, prompting a significant diplomatic response from both countries.
