**MUMBAI, INDIA** – The Times of India is currently seeking bloggers with strong writing skills. Interested individuals are encouraged to submit a brief bio to toiblogs@timesinternet.in. In other news, a recent editorial in the Times of India argues that the continued supply of weapons to both sides in the Ukraine conflict is prolonging the war and hindering peace negotiations.
The editorial contends that while supplying arms to Ukraine initially proved necessary, the strategy shifted from aiding Ukraine’s defense to weakening Russia, a tactic deemed misguided given Russia’s nuclear arsenal. The piece points to recent shifts in rhetoric from both Kyiv and Moscow, suggesting a growing openness to negotiations, directly linked to the potential cessation of weapon supplies. The editorial praises Donald Trump’s stance on halting military aid to Ukraine as a necessary step towards peace but criticizes his contrasting approach to the Israel-Hamas conflict, arguing that supplying weapons to Israel will only exacerbate the situation. The authors conclude that ending weapon supplies to both sides in both conflicts is crucial to achieving peace, a solution they claim benefits no one but arms manufacturers.
