Russia-ukraine

The United States imposed sanctions on Wednesday on hundreds of targets in fresh action against Russia, a signal the U.S. will continue to counter evasion of its measures imposed over Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.

The ruling mandates that if the penalty is not paid within nine months, it will double every day after that

National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval on Friday stressed the critical role of the nation's will in securing lasting peace post-conflict and questioned the core objectives of warfare.

The Russia-Ukraine conflict was discussed in "considerable detail" during a meeting between PM Modi and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, with New Delhi reiterating that it is "not neutral" in this conflict and remains on the "side of peace".

For eight years now, the global economy has been weathering a succession of shocks - from trade conflicts and a pandemic to bloody wars in Ukraine and the Middle East.

German Ambassador Philipp Ackermann has noted that Germany has always said India is in a "very good position" to basically listen to both sides when it comes to the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

South Korea's National Intelligence Service last week said that North Korea had decided to send approximately 12,000 special forces to support Russia in its prolonged war with Ukraine.

Ukraine's Foreign Ministry blasted UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres for what it said was his acceptance of an invitation from Russian President Vladimir Putin to a BRICS summit, while staying away from a "peace summit" on the war in Ukraine.

About 1,500 North Korean special forces soldiers are already in Russia acclimatising, likely to head to the front lines soon, South Korea's spy agency said Friday.

A drone this week helped Ukrainian troops attack a military training facility of Russian troops in Zaporizhzhia Oblast in Russian-occupied southern Ukraine.

Russia and Iran had turned to employing criminals and private intelligence officers to do their work on British soil, the chief of Britain's domestic intelligence service said.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's meetings with the top leaders of Russia and Ukraine were "beginnings of a communication process" between two countries engaged in a serious conflict.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told the UN Security Council that "we have to prepare" the second peace summit to end the Russia-Ukraine war "altogether" and he has invited India and other countries to join the peace process.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday met US President Joe Biden on the margins of the Quad summit here and the two leaders were expected to discuss a range of issues, including the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

The meeting of the Quad - a grouping of India, the US, Australia and Japan- comes at an important time amid an escalation between Israel and Hezbollah and the ongoing Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas wars.
