In this episode of Hindustan Times Point Blank, Executive Editor Shishir Gupta explores India's ongoing Operation Sindoor. Gupta emphasises India's need to bolster intelligence to avoid terror attacks like Pahalgam massacre. Notably, Ukraine's recent drone operation against Russia and Hamas' Oct 7 terror attack proves having prior intelligence is the key to avoiding such incidents.

Pakistan-China strategic nexus is also exposed in the wake of an armed standoff between India and Pakistan, where the world witnessed India's capability to strike targets without crossing international borders or LoC.

Ukraine launched its most daring assault on Russia on June 1 when it blew up around 40 Russian warplanes, including nuclear-capable Tu-95 and Tu-95M, at five different locations.

As Russia and Ukraine edge deeper into chaos—with deadly airstrikes, prisoner swaps, and failed ceasefires—the one man positioning himself above the war is Donald Trump. He’s called Putin “crazy” while still claiming to understand him. He’s criticized the killings yet reminded the world of his friendship with the Kremlin. What is Trump really playing at? Why is he distancing himself from the war while inserting himself into peace talks? Is he truly aiming to broker peace or simply reframing the war as a Biden-Zelensky failure to set himself up for a political win?In this episode of Grey Zone, we decode Trump’s latest Truth Social post, 172 words that reveal more than just rhetoric. We trace his strategic ambiguity, his disdain for Zelensky, and his realpolitik instincts that could tilt global diplomacy. Trump may not end the war. But by staying just close enough, and just far enough, he might win something else: the narrative.
