On the crisis in the world’s closest alliance—the Five Eyes intelligence coalition—triggered by President Donald Trump:
Five foreign policy pointers from PM @narendramodi's podcast: Ukraine-Russia war: Clear backing for bilateral "meaningful and productive talks". A caution to Zelenskyy to be wary of [European] allies promising him unrealistic support. A push to Putin to accept a ceasefire 1/n
