It wasn't to be. Kazakhstan's Elena Rybakina has lost the Miami Open final against Petra Kvitova. Elena won 13 consecutive matches until today. Onwards and upwards till the next tournament. She's still our champion! #miamiopen #tennis #elenarybakina

Whatever happens in #Russia, important to remember that #Prigozhin is even more of a loose cannon than #Putin. The head of Wagner is the quintessential thug.

Well that's an anticlimax. Can #Russia finish any job these days... #Putin lives to fight another day...for now.

Looks like #Prigozhin wasn't getting any support and knew that his coup attempt would fail, so he had to accept the deal with #Putin. Still somewhat of a win for the Wagner leader, as he was most likely about to be arrested/killed if he didn't start the mutiny in #Russia.

#ThisWorld | #Chandrayaan3: India's success makes some Brits unhappy What's the truth about the UK's 'aid' to India? Prominent issue but not breaking news in the country: Alexander Clackson, political analyst, weighs in Vikram Chandra Alexander Clackson #ISRO

On the day of #Navalny's funeral, I'd like to share my recent article, which delves into how Navalny’s passing highlights the authoritarianism of #Putin's regime and signals ongoing tensions between #Russia and the West. realclearworld.com/articles/2024/…

I was invited on Al Jazeera Al Jazeera English to discuss the status of the war in #Ukraine. I made the point that this is an existential war for #Putin which is why #Russia is unlikely to lose. Challenging times ahead for Ukraine and the West. aljazeera.com/program/inside…

In this analysis I argue that #Putin's nuclear sabre-rattling aims to steer the conflict towards a resolution favorable to #Russia. This tactic relies on intimidating the West with nuclear escalation to lessen their support for #Ukraine or negotiate on terms favorable to Moscow.

I argue in South China Morning Post that facing a weapons shortage and potential decrease in foreign support, #Ukraine should make the difficult decision to enter peace talks with #Russia while it still has some leverage. scmp.com/opinion/world-…

My latest article in South China Morning Post analyzes Trump's potential path to ending #Ukraine war and why it could leave all sides without a winner—whether it’s #Russia’s stagnation, Ukraine’s territorial loss and economic devastation, or the EU’s cost crisis. scmp.com/opinion/world-…

I argue in my The Hill article that Western countries should consider supporting #Ukraine's transition to a neutral state to achieve peace. Though contentious, it offers the most viable solution to end war with #Russia and ensure regional stability. thehill.com/opinion/intern…

Strange times - Ukraine’s leadership and Europe oppose #Trump for wanting to end a war that should never have started. The usual mantra of 'war is bad, peace is good' has flipped. The one pushing for peace in #Ukraine️ is vilified, while warmongers are praised as heroes.

This will be controversial, but I argue in my latest The Hill article that integrating #Russia into a Western security framework is essential for long-term stability. Isolation breeds conflict. Engagement is the pragmatic path forward. thehill.com/opinion/intern…
