The app MxM (minute by minute) News, a potential competitor of Apple News and Google News, will curate news stories from an array of publishers.

India should condemn Russia's actions in Ukraine, US Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs, Victoria Nuland, told NDTV:

"Democracies must stand against autocracies such as Russia and China. We know about the historic relationship and defence relationship between India and Russia at a time when the US was not prepared to have that kind of relationship. But times have changed now. They've changed in that the US and Europe are willing to be strong defence and security partners with India. We are doing more and more together in the Indo-Pacific. But times have also changed in terms of the level of brutality and violation of international humanitarian law that we are seeing," Nuland said.
