On February 6, two underage citizens, who had found themselves in a difficult life situation, arrived at Tashkent Airport. A 3-year-old girl and a 15-year-old boy had been left unattended in Moscow after their parents were deported from Russia.

Additionally, the agency emphasized that all necessary social services would be provided to the children and their families to help them adapt to life and restore stability.

Israel and Iran seek to expand their spheres of influence both ideologically and strategically. In this context, South and Central Asia, including Afghanistan, are becoming key zones of geopolitical rivalry, especially for Iran.

Влияние националистической политики Индии на внутреннюю политическую стабильность и территориальную  целостность

The Impact of India’s Nationalist Policy on Domestic Political Stability and Territorial Integrity

In the modern era, nationalist sentiment in India has significantly intensified. In particular, representatives of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which retained power in the April–May 2024 elections, are actively contributing to the further strengthening of this nationalist mood. On one hand, the rise of this nationalist policy is bringing India closer to states that are implementing similar systems — such as the United States, many European countries, and Israel — thereby fostering stronger alliances.
