Russia and the West are battling to get China and India on their side

The two have been eagerly fighting to persuade the powers to support their view of the conflict in Ukraine.

Foreign Ministers from both Russia and the UK visited India last week, speaking with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in an attempt to deepen ties.

China, however, has taken a more neutral stance, not siding with any particular country.

Sad to note that India was not in the forefront of establishing peace between Russia and Ukraine. But we are Vishwa Guru.

Ukrainian politician Inna Sovsun says Ukraine has been deeply disappointed by the response from these countries.

“I’ve been talking to journalists in India and it is my understanding that they somehow perceive this war to be between Russia and the US,” Ms Sovsun says.

“My message to all Indians and the Indian government – no matter geopolitics, democracy should stand together,

“And Ukraine and India are democracies, not perfect but on their way to perfection.”

Ms Sovsun says India should stand with Ukraine, against authoritarian regimes.

“We cannot be choosing which dictatorship to cooperate with because we should all be fighting for democratic values,” she says.

Meanwhile, the war in Ukraine continues with Russian troops reportedly beginning to withdraw.

But as Russia’s Victory Day approaches, Sovsun says it is likely that Putin will exaggerate the country’s military might and success in Ukraine to justify the conflict.

She says it is likely that during Putin’s May 6 speech, he may claim some victory in order to assert his power.

“These dates are extremely important for the Neo-Nazi society there … if he is not able to claim victory that will shake his power,” Ms Sovsun says.

“That would show to the whole population that he started a war but he cannot show any progress.”

But Ms Sovsun insisted that this would not mark an end to the war.

“Russians will not stop there, and Ukraine, we will not give up and surrender our territories,” she says.

Ukraine faces tough choices amid U.S.-Russia secret peace plan negotiations, potentially demanding significant concessions from Kyiv

In Short:
– Ukraine faces challenges with a U.S.-Russia peace plan requiring major concessions to Moscow.
– Senior U.S. officials are in Ukraine discussing conflict resolution amid concerns over Ukrainian input.

Ukraine faces challenges amid reports of a U.S.-Russia peace plan to end the war, potentially involving major concessions to Moscow.Senior U.S. military officials are currently in Ukraine for discussions aimed at ending the conflict. The visit follows reports suggesting that Washington and Moscow developed a 28-point peace plan without Ukrainian input.

The plan reportedly includes territorial concessions in eastern Donbas, limitations on Ukraine’s military capabilities, and a substantial reduction in armed forces. Some reports suggest that Russia could control the Donbas while Ukraine retains legal ownership, with payment arrangements in place, but these claims remain unverified.

A senior Ukrainian official indicated that Kyiv received signals regarding U.S. proposals but was not involved in their formulation. The Kremlin has denied any new developments in peace talks since President Putin and President Trump last met.

The White House has not confirmed the existence of the peace plan but acknowledged that new proposals are being explored. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that achieving peace necessitates difficult concessions from both sides.

Ukraine’s Options

Ukraine has not responded publicly to the peace plan but anticipates discussions with U.S. officials. President Zelenskyy noted that the U.S. plays a crucial role in resolving the conflict.

Despite Ukrainian concerns, the country remains reliant on U.S. military aid, with European support becoming less immediate. European officials have expressed dissatisfaction over peace proposals that do not involve Ukrainian input, noting it is essential for any viable plan.

Analysts have warned that the proposed plan may signify Ukraine’s capitulation, undermining its defensive positions and inviting further Russian aggression.

US pressures Ukraine to accept a peace plan risking territory loss amid ongoing conflict with Russia.

The United States is pressuring Ukraine to accept a peace plan that would see the country surrender territory and military equipment as part of a negotiated settlement with Russia. The proposal has sparked concern within Kyiv over the potential loss of sovereignty and long-term security.

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy is in Turkey discussing this plan, which may also involve cuts to Ukraine’s armed forces. His visit comes as Washington intensifies efforts under the Trump administration to secure an end to the conflict, despite fears the terms could undermine Ukraine’s national interests.

As Russian forces continue their aggressive campaign, holding roughly 19% of Ukrainian territory, Zelenskiy is attempting to revive peace talks before winter further complicates the frontline. The stakes remain high as the geopolitical landscape shifts.

Senate upholds vote to release Epstein files despite White House delay attempt; Trump signals intent to sign bill.

The White House tried to delay a vote on the release of Justice Department files connected to Jeffrey Epstein, even as former President Trump insisted there was nothing to hide.

Despite this, the Senate approved the measure exactly as it passed the House, ignoring amendments proposed by Trump’s aides. This move clears the path for the files to be made public in full.

Trump has indicated he intends to sign the bill, marking a significant shift after the White House’s attempt to block or delay the vote proved unsuccessful. The decision could have wide-reaching implications for transparency and ongoing investigations.
