THE RUSSIA RUSH HOUR

Russia appreciates New Delhi's diplomatic balance during its ongoing conflict with Ukraine, said Russian ambassador to India Denis Alipov at the India Today Conclave 2025. While clarifying that Russia does not seek New Delhi's mediation, he commended India's consistent advocacy for peace. Speaking at the session titled 'Navigating Geopolitical Shifts', moderated by India Today Group Editorial Director Raj Chengappa, Alipov drew a “red line” on Ukraine's NATO membership, declaring, \"We need to have a Ukraine that does not pose a danger to us.” He emphasised Russia’s claims over Crimea, dismissed Ukraine president Zelensky's legitimacy and blamed the West for prolonging the conflict.

THE TIP OF THE SPEAR

IN India’s arsenal against Left-wing Extremism, the Naxal surrender policy has emerged as a crucial weapon. By providing Naxal cadres a peaceful exit, the policy has reduced insurgent numbers, disrupted leadership structures and logistical support, and yielded valuable intelligence for counter-insurgency operations. Over the past five years, nearly 3,000 rebels, including mid-level leaders, have surrendered in Chhattisgarh, significantly weakening Naxal influence in its last bastion.
