What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

"Even in the most difficult situations, India and Russia have always walked shoulder to shoulder," Modi said. "Our close cooperation is important not only for the people of both countries but also for global peace, stability and prosperity."

"Had an excellent meeting with President Putin," Modi said on X on Monday, adding that they had discussed cooperating "in all sectors, including trade, fertilisers, space, security and culture."

"Our Special and Privileged Strategic Partnership remains a vital pillar of regional and global stability," Modi said

Not really very surprising. People talk about India being the world's largest democracy and should be "on our side", but Modi is not a leader that cares about "a global rules based order". If he thinks he can exploit Russia being desperate, that's exactly what he'll do.

India and Russia also go way back, Russia was their main military supplier for decades. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but if I recall it was due to the US supporting Pakistan back in the day.

Even First Post, which leans liberal, tends to report from a more Russian perspective on the Russo-Ukrainian War.

Just like Europe doesn't have much choice in natural gas supply from Russia, India too doesn't. The US has always propped up Pakistan, their misadventure in Afghanistan ended with pushing them into China's arms which already has Pakistan, Myanmar etc. in its pocket, and Ukraine supplies Pakistan with modern weaponry.
