Friday, 14 February 2025 Swiss state secretary Alexandre Fasel highlighted India's potential for a larger global role, citing its strong diplomacy and leadership in the Global South. In an ANI interview, he stressed the need for a negotiated end to the Russia-Ukraine war, as military victory alone is unsustainable. Fasel expressed confidence in India’s constructive influence, praising its neutral stance and commitment to amplifying the Global South’s voice in global affairs.
On PM Modi's USA trip Indian Overseas Congress Chief Sam Pitroda said that his trip was really about America telling India what they want. There is very little room for negotiation.

Russia’s war on Ukraine has sparked a domino effect, pushing more European nations toward NATO. Austria, long neutral, is now debating membership as Foreign Minister Beate Meinl-Reisinger warns neutrality no longer ensures security. Joining NATO would end Austria’s historic role as a bridge between East and West, signaling a major geopolitical shift. Analysts say this move could inspire other neutral states like Switzerland and Serbia to reconsider their positions. Instead of weakening NATO, Putin’s war has strengthened and expanded the alliance, isolating Russia further

Europe is facing a record-breaking heatwave with unprecedented temperatures sweeping across multiple countries. Paris has closed the top level of the Eiffel Tower due to metal expansion, while Switzerland shut down a nuclear reactor as rivers overheated. France issued red alerts in several regions, and Spain is battling wildfires with fatalities reported. The U.K. logged its second-warmest June since 1884. Experts blame climate change for the worsening crisis, as Europe now warms at twice the global rate. The U.N. warns this extreme heat threatens fundamental rights and demands urgent climate action.

BRICS Summit 2025: India takes center stage at the BRICS 2025 Summit in Rio de Janeiro as Prime Minister Narendra Modi leads a powerful charge from the Global South against Trump’s aggressive tariff policy. With 10 nations participating—including new member Indonesia—this year’s summit focuses on fair global governance, climate action, and reforming outdated world institutions like the UN, WTO, and World Bank. As the world’s fastest-growing major economy, India is pushing for a more equitable trade system and calling for collective resistance against economic coercion. Modi’s leadership is not only uniting BRICS but also redefining it—asserting India as the democratic anchor of a bloc once overshadowed by China. India’s role in the New Development Bank and its calls for tech cooperation, sustainable development, and regional peace underscore its rising influence in shaping a new world order.

Former President Trump has issued a stark warning to Russia: agree to a Ukraine ceasefire within 10 days or face sweeping new sanctions. He hinted at harsh secondary sanctions and tariffs targeting Russia’s already struggling economy. Despite the threat, Russia's Foreign Minister Lavrov mocked the move, claiming Moscow isn’t worried. Analysts say sanctions could slash Russia’s GDP by another 3–5% annually and hit energy exports hard. As the U.S. raises pressure, the question remains—will Putin yield, or is Trump making empty threats?

Despite bold rhetoric, President Trump is unlikely to follow through on secondary tariffs targeting Russian trade partners. Speaking in the UK, Trump extended his tariff deadline again, repeating a familiar pattern of threats with little enforcement. Russian markets rose following his speech, reflecting global skepticism. Experts say enforcing tariffs on nations like China or India could backfire, straining diplomatic ties and fueling inflation at home. As Putin vows to continue the Ukraine war, Trump’s tactics seem more bark than bite—aimed at leverage, not real economic penalties.

Russia has unveiled the ‘Posokh,’ a portable, ytterbium-based laser air defense system capable of disabling Ukrainian drones within a 2 km range using invisible laser beams. The announcement follows successful tests and comes as Russia escalates airstrikes on Ukraine. On July 28, a drone and missile barrage hit Kyiv, injuring eight civilians, including a child. The Darnytskyi district was among the hardest hit. With 324 drones launched overnight, Ukraine’s air defenses are under mounting pressure amid ongoing conflict.
