Latest Updates on war in Ukraine


Ukraine as on day 158 in tatters. According to the UN estimates of about 9.9 million have fled Ukraine mostly in Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Moldova, Belarus and Russia. The first shipment of grain is expected to leave Ukraine as early on August 1st. A deal was brokered for an uninterrupted shipments of grain leaving Ukraine in the Black sea. Ukraine's Zelensky says grains have been halved because of the war. The deal is expected to last for four months. The war has hit badly economies that have so long been dependent on ukraine's supply of grain. There are no early indications of either sides giving into or giving up. Russia seems impertinent and the cries seem to go unheard daily by russia. On the other hand Russia hasn't achieved any of it's objectives. It's likely to end only as a tirade of war of words just as it started as russian military exercise prior to February 23rd. The real victor will be russia's biggest mistake of the decade. This war will not last more than four months from now in my opinion. Beyond this there's no much scope for this to go on. Russia is today almost on it's knees, before any more shame for Russia, it will begin to withdraw to it's pre-feb 23rd positions. Another four months is the final position as on today this is being written.

Baldwin's role as an actor and producer should have been carefully scrutinized to distinguish between negligence and criminal liability. However, his extended confinement suggests a rush to judgment and a failure to uphold the presumption of innocence. Secondly, this case reveals systemic inefficiencies and bureaucratic delays within the court system. A three-year detention period before ...

Impact of Inflation on Limited Trading Week: A Brief Overview

Inflation data plays a crucial role in the economy as it measures the rate at which the general level of prices for goods and services is rising, and subsequently, how the purchasing power of currency is falling.
