On August 24, Ukraine’s Independence Day which also marked six months of the invasion, Mr. Zelensky said his country would fight “till the end”. Following Ms. Pelosi’s visit and China’s live military drills around the island, India had warned against unilateral attempts to change the status quo around the Taiwan Strait.
