Putin's World Shrinks: As Ukraine Becomes Russia's Afghanistan, Allies Walk Away
New Delhi: Moscow has grown quieter. Not because the war has stopped. But because the noise of friendship is fading. One by one, old allies are slipping away from Russia's side. The war in Ukraine, now dragging into its third year, is doing more than bleeding Russian soldiers. It is draining the trust and warmth once shared with nations that stood shoulder to shoulder with the Kremlin. For Vladimir Putin, this is more than a battlefield loss. This is a diplomatic collapse. A mirror to America's fall in Afghanistan – only colder and more isolating. Where once flags of loyalty waved high, now silence, distance and new partnerships fill the air. Syria Syria used to be a victory badge on Putin's coat. Back in 2015, Russia's entry into the Syrian civil war turned the tide for Bashar al-Assad. Moscow's airstrikes, coupled with Iranian boots on the ground, gave Assad his second life. In return, Russia gained access to naval and air bases in the Mediterranean. But that alliance cracked in 2024. Russia, too busy in Ukraine, could not shield Assad when the rebels surged back. The HTS and Turkish-backed fighters regrouped. Damascus wobbled. Assad fled. The same Putin who once stood firm behind Syria, watched it collapse, unable to stretch his power beyond his war-weary borders. Armenia For years, Armenia counted on Russia. Against Azerbaijan and Turkey, Moscow was the shield. But in 2023, that shield vanished. Nagorno-Karabakh fell. Over 100,000 ethnic Armenians fled. Russian peacekeepers stood idle. Anger swelled in Yerevan. By 2024, Armenia began pulling away. Military deals were paused. Old promises were questioned. Then came the final blow – Armenia walked out of the CSTO, the very security pact that tied it to Moscow. A treaty signed in 1997, meant to be ironclad, now lies in the dust. Finland, Sweden The war in Ukraine was meant to stop NATO. Instead, it pulled in the ones who stayed away the longest. Finland joined the NATO in 2023. Sweden followed in 2024. Neutrality turned to fear. And fear turned to strategy. Both nations moved fast, sensing that Russian aggression was no longer just a possibility. It was a pattern. With their entry, NATO touched more of Russia's border. What Putin tried to avoid became reality. What began as a push against NATO's eastward creep ended in a sprint westward by those who feared Moscow most. Central Asia Kazakhstan. Uzbekistan. Kyrgyzstan. These lands once echoed with Soviet ties. Moscow had sway here, in trade, culture and influence. But now? Europe, China and Turkey are moving in. Brussels is building new roads, new trade routes and new promises. Turkey is sending troops, teachers and trade envoys. China's Belt and Road is laying steel and cement across the steppes. Moscow, weighed down by war, is missing this quiet shift. Iran's Loneliness Iran gave Russia its deadliest drones. Shahed loitering munitions buzzed over Ukrainian skies. Tehran stood by Moscow when others hesitated. But loyalty went unanswered. In June 2025, when Israeli jets bombed Iran followed by American bombers, Russia offered only words. A few lines of diplomatic concern. No defense. No action. Tehran took notice. Even as Tehran burns under sirens and smoke, Moscow stays silent. The alliance feels one-sided now. Iran bleeds. Russia watches. From Damascus to Yerevan and from Helsinki to Tehran, the pattern repeats. Russia once led an axis of defiance. Now, it stands alone in many rooms. This is not only a war. It is a quiet falling away. A global friend list losing names.

There will not be a Hamastan: Netanyahu calls for end to Hamas
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel would completely eliminate Hamas in his first public remark since US President Donald Trump claimed that Israel agreed to a 60-day ceasefire plan in Gaza. "There will not be a Hamas. There will not be a 'Hamastan'. We're not going back to that. It's over," Netanyahu said during a meeting at the Trans-Israel pipeline. He added that Israel would destroy Hamas "down to their very foundation."advertisementNetanyahu's stern statement came as Hamas said it was considering a new proposal for a ceasefire. The group noted it had received suggestions from mediators Egypt and Qatar and was reviewing them. In a statement, Hamas said its aim was to reach an agreement that would stop the war and lead to Israel withdrawing its forces from PUSHES FOR TRUCE US President Trump said on Tuesday that Israel had agreed to the key points required for a 60-day ceasefire after a meeting between his representatives and Israeli officials. He described the proposal as a "final" offer aimed at stopping the fighting in the people of Gaza have mixed feelings about Trump's proposal. Kamal, a Gaza City resident, said, "I hope it would work this time, even if for two months, it would save thousands of innocent lives." Another resident, Adnan Al-Assar from Khan Younis, was more cautious. "We hope he is serious, like he was during the Israeli-Iranian war when he said the war should stop, and it stopped," he has been rising pressure on Netanyahu to bring an end to the conflict. However, several members of his right-wing coalition remain firmly against any lasting truce with CALLS AND REGIONAL PRESSURE ADD TO TENSIONSWhile ceasefire efforts continue, several ministers from Israel's Likud party pushed for Israel to annex the West Bank before the Knesset's summer recess. A petition, signed by 15 cabinet ministers and Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana, was sent to the Prime Minister's Office ahead of his planned visit to Washington next trip to the US will likely include further discussions with Trump on a possible Gaza ceasefire and a deal to release hostages held by Hamas. The Prime Minister's Office has not yet commented on the petition, and Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer -- considered close to Netanyahu -- did not sign it. Dermer is currently in Washington, holding talks on both Iran and latest push for a ceasefire follows last month's 12-day conflict between Israel and Iran.- EndsWith inputs from ReutersTune InMust Watch

US strikes delayed Iran's nuclear program by 2 years, says Pentagon
US strikes on Iran's nuclear sites last month may have delayed Tehran's nuclear program by up to two years, according to Pentagon intelligence reports, though the full extent of the damage remains unclear. read more (File) A satellite image shows new airstrike craters on the perimeter of the Fordow Fuel Enrichment Facility, amid the Iran-Israel conflict, near Qom, Iran, June 24, 2025. Maxar Technologies/Handout via Reuters The Pentagon said that intelligence reports indicate that the latest US strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities last month, targeting three major sites, have set back Tehran's nuclear program by about one to two years, news agency Reuters reported. Speaking at a news conference on Wednesday, Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell repeated Donald Trump's claim that key Iranian nuclear facilities were completely destroyed. However, he did not provide further details on how these assessments were made, saying only that the information came from within the Defense Department. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'We have degraded their program by one to two years,' Parnell said at a news conference held at the Pentagon, as quoted by The Guardian. 'At least, intel assessments inside the department assess that.' Parnell's comments offered a more cautious view than Donald Trump's claims about how much damage the US strikes caused. An early, low-confidence report from the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) suggested Iran's nuclear program might only be delayed by several months. The full extent of the damage remains unclear as US intelligence continues to analyze new information. Some materials indicate that centrifuges at Iran's Fordow enrichment site were destroyed, though it's not certain whether the entire facility collapsed. On Sunday, Rafael Grossi, head of the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), warned that Iran might be able to resume producing enriched uranium within a few months. 'They can have in a matter of months, I would say, a few cascades of centrifuges spinning and producing enriched uranium,' Grossi said, adding that Iran has advanced nuclear knowledge that cannot simply be erased. An initial DIA assessment, based on information gathered just over a day after the strikes, indicated outcomes could range from Iran quickly restarting the Fordow facility with new equipment to possibly abandoning it altogether, the Guardian previously reported.
