NATO membership is becoming a distant dream for Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who has been trying to get membership for two years, has once again been disappointed. NATO once again made it clear that it is not currently ready to include Ukraine in its organization. NATO allies have asked Zelensky for more information about his 'Victory Plan', which is designed to end the ongoing war with Russia.
Zelensky's plan focuses on getting NATO to act quickly on their membership application. This application was made by Ukraine seeking protection from NATO after Russia's invasion two years ago. In fact, the biggest feature of NATO is its collective security guarantee, which is mentioned in Article 5 of the organization. It is a political commitment made by the 32 member countries that if any member country's sovereignty or territory is attacked, all members will assist it. But this provision does not apply to allied countries like Ukraine.
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte did not welcome Zelensky's Victory Plan and said he and allies were paying attention to it, the AP reported. He also did not clarify when Ukraine might join NATO, only saying that Ukraine would one day become a member.
“There are many political and military issues in this plan that we will discuss with Ukraine. We have to see what we can and cannot do,” Rutte said. For now, NATO's focus is on helping Ukraine win more territorial gains and strengthen its position for future peace negotiations. It is noteworthy that this is a very difficult time for Ukraine. Ukrainian troops are clashing against better prepared and equipped Russian forces in the Donetsk region.
Ukraine has been demanding NATO membership for 16 years, but no concrete progress has been made so far. However, major NATO members such as the US and Germany are concerned that granting Ukraine membership could drag them into a broader war with nuclear-armed Russia. Therefore, these countries are opposing Ukraine's inclusion in NATO until the war ends.

Justin Trudeau said, “Over the summer I was made aware by intelligence services that the Indian government was involved in the killing of Nijjar, with no apparent international connection.” In August, intelligence from Canada and the Five Eyes made it clear. India was involved in this. Our real concern is that your security agencies were involved in this. India responded with its attacks against our government. India doubled down on our government and governance, a clear indication that India has violated our sovereignty.

We wanted to interrogate the Indian diplomats, but they did not waive their diplomatic immunity, so we had to ask them to leave.

Indian shuttlers endured a tough day at the Denmark Open Super 750 tournament on Wednesday, with the country’s challenge in both women’s and mixed doubles ending in heartbreaking first-round defeats. The women’s doubles pairing of Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand fought valiantly but ultimately fell to Malaysia’s fifth-seeded duo, Pearly Tan and Muralitharan Thinaah, in a grueling three-game match. After taking the first game 21-19, the Indian pair couldn’t maintain their momentum, losing 17-21 and 15-21 in a battle that stretched for over an hour.
Despite their previous 1-5 head-to-head record against the world No. 7 Malaysian opponents, Treesa and Gayatri gave a strong performance, showing promise but bowing out early.
In the mixed doubles, the experienced Indian pair of B. Sumeeth Reddy and N. Sikki Reddy also suffered a narrow defeat. The duo was edged out by Canada’s Kevin Lee and Eliana Zhang after a nail-biting contest that lasted one hour and two minutes. After winning the first game 22-20, the Indians were unable to close out the match, losing the next two games 19-21 and 22-24 in an agonizingly close finish.
While the doubles pairs faced early exits, India still had hope in the singles events. The lone bright spot for India came from double Olympic medallist PV Sindhu, who moved into the second round of the women’s singles. Sindhu was leading comfortably 21-8, 13-7 when her opponent, Chinese Taipei’s Pai Yu Po, retired midway through the second game, gifting the Indian a safe passage into the next round.
