US President Donald Trump has claimed Ukraine could be “crushed very shortly” unless it agrees to peace talks with Russia. In an interview with The Atlantic, Trump said he’s trying to save Ukraine by pushing for negotiations, suggesting Moscow is open to a deal. He criticized Kiev’s stance, especially on Crimea, and hinted Zelensky was tougher to negotiate with than Putin. Meanwhile, Vice President Vance echoed similar concerns, and Secretary of State Rubio warned of the US abandoning talks if delays persist. Trump is also seeking a minerals agreement with Ukraine.

With Belarus now formally aligned with nuclear-armed Russia through a 2024 defense pact, and tensions with the West rising, many are questioning the true purpose behind this visit.

After a deadly attack in Kashmir that killed 26 people, China has urged India and Pakistan to show restraint and seek peaceful resolution. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi stressed that conflict benefits no one, offering Beijing's support for de-escalation. Iran and Saudi Arabia have also stepped in, offering to mediate between the two rivals. As hostilities rise, India has expelled diplomats, suspended treaties, and closed borders, while Pakistan retaliated with its own measures. Global concern is growing over the threat of escalating conflict in South Asia.

On April 23, 2025, India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty following a deadly terror attack in Kashmir, blaming Pakistan for cross-border terrorism. The move ends decades of controlled water sharing that was critical for Pakistan’s agriculture and survival. With 80% of Pakistan’s water supply at stake, leaders are calling this an “act of war.” As nationalist voices in Pakistan push for a military response, fears rise of a full-scale conflict between two nuclear-armed neighbors. Could water really be the spark for war in South Asia?

The bloodbath in Pahalgam is not an isolated tragedy—it is the latest chapter in a long history of violence against Hindu terror victims. Twenty-six innocent lives, mostly tourists, were killed not for profit or politics—but simply for being Hindu and Indian.
The Hindu terror victims of Pahalgam now join the forgotten exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from 1990, the persecuted minorities in Pakistan and Bangladesh, and the silenced families across South Asia. Under Prime Minister Modi, India is no longer passive—abrogation of Article 370, Balakot strikes, and upcoming decisive actions mark a new era.
This episode examines how India is preparing to respond, why the world looks away, and what it means for the future of Hindu terror victims worldwide. The time for silence is over.

In this gripping episode, Oneindia uncovers the rising India-Pakistan tensions following the brutal Pahalgam terror attack. A peaceful Kashmiri town turned into a graveyard when Hindu tourists were selectively targeted and executed by Pakistan-backed terrorists. The Modi government’s reaction is swift, strategic, and unforgiving.
With diplomatic ties being scaled down, visa services suspended, and military readiness at its peak, India Pakistan tensions have reached a boiling point. Prime Minister Modi has sent a clear warning: those behind terror will face consequences beyond imagination. As India tests the INS Surat’s missile capabilities and tightens its military grip, the world watches how these India Pakistan tensions could reshape South Asian geopolitics forever. Pankaj Mishra with the details.
