Ukraine’s European ally admits security guarantees for Kyiv face hurdles: ‘Without Putin nothing…’

Published by Parlour News

Published on Jan 09, 2026 12:31 am IST Germany’s Chancellor Friedrich Merz has made a blunt admission amid an intensifying row over Berlin’s contribution to security guarantees, warning that any lasting arrangement “will not work without Russia’s consent.” The remarks have reignited debate over Europe’s security architecture, Germany’s role within NATO, and whether Western guarantees can be credible without Moscow at the table. Merz’s comments expose deep divisions in Europe over deterrence, diplomacy, and how far Germany is willing—or able—to go as pressure mounts for stronger commitments.   News / Videos / World News / Ukraine’s European ally admits security guarantees for Kyiv face hurdles: ‘Without Putin nothing…’ Disclaimer: We do not own any of the content, ideas, images, or text presented here.

‘If Russia is an ally…’: Uttarakhand youth’s death in war plunges family into despair | India News

Published by Parlour News

A day after Rakesh Maurya’s body reached his home, thousands of kilometres away from his place of death, his family is grappling with questions over his death, the role of Indian authorities, and the nature of Russia’s relationship with India. Maurya, who hailed from Sitarganj in Udham Singh Nagar, went to Russia in August, reportedly for studies, and was enlisted in the Russian army. In September, his family lost contact with him and wrote to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), seeking his return to India. His brother Deepu had tried to contact the Indian embassy in Russia and was hopeful of his return. The family had earlier said that 30-year-old Rakesh, a BTech graduate, informed them that he had been recruited into the Russian army and was being sent for military training. A day after his body reached their home and was cremated, Rakesh’s brother questioned the authorities for failing to save their citizen. “The media asked the Russian authorities about the men serving in the army there, and they responded diplomatically.

Habba said in a statement posted to X that her resignation as acting US Attorney for New Jersey was “to protect the stability and the integrity of the office,” which faced months of uncertainty as legal challenges to her appointment played out. “But do not mistake compliance for surrender,” Habba said in the post. Habba said she would take on a new role as senior adviser to Attorney General Pam Bondi, focusing on US Attorneys around the country.

22 MLAs from ruling ally ‘close’ to Fadnavis, ready to cross over, claims Aaditya

Published by Parlour News

Leader of the Shiv Sena (UBT) Legislature Party, Aaditya Thackeray. File | Photo Credit: ANI Shiv Sena (UBT) legislator Aaditya Thackeray on Monday (December 8, 2025) claimed that 22 MLAs from a Mahayuti ally have “grown close” to Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and are ready to switch sides, an oblique reference to Deputy CM Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena. In June 2022, the Shiv Sena split following a rebellion led by Mr. Shinde, resulting in the collapse of the then Uddhav Thackeray-led Maha Vikas Aghadi Government. Later, in January 2024, Assembly speaker Rahul Narwekar held that the Eknath Shinde-led faction was the “real” Shiv Sena, which is a constituent of the ruling Mahayuti in the State along with the BJP and Deputy CM Ajit Pawar’s NCP. “There is one party and two factions on the treasury side. Twenty-two MLAs from one faction have grown close to the CM. They have good funds, and they have started dancing to the tune of the CM,” Aaditya Thackeray claimed, without naming the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena. The 22 …

Is Sharad Pawar holding back? Veteran leader’s silence on Parth land row irks ally Congress | Political Pulse News

Published by Parlour News

The reluctance of the Sharad Pawar-led NCP (SP) to aggressively take on the NCP over corruption allegations in a Pune land deal involving the veteran leader’s grandnephew Parth Pawar has created a sense of unease among its Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) partner Congress, with many of the view that the NCP (SP) is throwing away an opportunity to demand the resignation of Deputy CM Ajit Pawar, Parth’s father, and create momentum for the alliance ahead of the local body polls. “There has always been a systematic plan by the BJP and our allies to weaken the Congress. Now, with Pawar refraining from taking on Ajit, it is out in the open,” former Maharashtra Congress chief Nana Patole said recently, adding that the NCP(SP) should have taken an aggressive stand against Parth and Ajit. Another senior Congress leader admitted that a united call to demand Ajit’s resignation would have exerted pressure on the government. “However, it seems the decision not to pursue the matter was taken as the Pawar family name was involved,” he said.
