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.

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
