    Putin Fears for His Life if War Ends Without Capturing Donbas

    Russian President Vladimir Putin reportedly told his entourage that he fears for his personal safety if the war in Ukraine ends without achieving at least a minimal goal of capturing all of Donbass. According to multiple sources, Putin believes that ending the war without this victory could expose him to physical danger. The Economist reports that Putin has chosen the path of escalation, including intensifying strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure and sending another 300,000-400,000 Russians to the front without formally announcing a new mobilization. Dissatisfaction with the war is growing among the Russian public and elites, with one source saying, 'The feeling is that the tsar is naked.'

    Modi Urges SCO to Prioritize Terrorism at Bishkek Summit

    Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi used the 26th Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Summit in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, to press for a united front against terrorism, particularly targeting Pakistan. Modi called for the dismantling of the 'terror ecosystem' and emphasized that there should be 'no double standards' in dealing with terrorism. The SCO, which includes Pakistan as a member, is seen by India as a platform to raise its concerns about cross-border terrorism. However, some experts have noted the contradictions within the SCO, particularly China's ties with Pakistan, which may hinder open criticism of Pakistan's role in terrorism.

    Divorce Settlement Doesn't Automatically Alter Joint Loan Obligations

    A divorce may end a marriage, but it does not automatically change the terms of a joint loan. Both parties remain responsible for repaying the loan according to the original contract with the lender. This means that even if the divorce settlement agreement states otherwise, both ex-spouses are still legally obligated to pay the Equated Monthly Installment (EMI).
