What is India's stance on Pakistan's role in global terrorism according to Ambassador P. Harish?
According to Ambassador P. Harish at the UN Security Council, Pakistan serves as the global epicenter of terrorism, harboring more than 20 UN-listed terrorist entities while promoting cross-border terrorism. His statement highlights the irony of Pakistan's self-proclaimed role in fighting terrorism while actually supporting it. During the open debate on multilateralism and global governance, Harish called out Pakistan's duplicitous stance, emphasizing that despite Islamabad's claims of fighting terrorism, the country continues to provide state support for terrorist activities across borders. This strong condemnation reflects India's firm position on Pakistan's involvement in terrorist activities.

What is Trump's evolving strategy regarding Ukraine's conflict?
Trump's administration is quickly moving to thaw relations with Russia in preparation for a potential deal over Ukraine. The strategy involves asking European allies to take on more responsibility while signaling to Ukraine that they likely won't regain control of Donbass and Crimea due to limited military prospects for reclaiming these territories. This represents a significant shift in U.S. policy toward a negotiated peace solution rather than supporting Ukraine's territorial integrity at all costs. The administration's swift action to secure Fogle's release is viewed as part of this broader diplomatic effort to reset relations with Russia ahead of potential peace negotiations.
