Conclusion: The Power of Rahu in Global Affairs
Rahu’s motion and affliction status determine whether it acts as a boon or a bane. While it can bring breakthroughs in its normal state, its afflicted motion tends to disrupt global stability, triggering wars, economic collapses, and political chaos.
Upcoming Rahu afflictions in 2025 strongly indicate that geopolitical tensions will remain unresolved, and diplomatic efforts (like the Ukraine-Russia ceasefire) may fail to bring lasting peace. Instead, the period post-July 2025 could see heightened military conflicts and economic uncertainty.

Kremlin Rejects US-Proposed Ceasefire
“It seems to me that no one needs steps that merely imitate peaceful actions in this situation,” said Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov, dismissing the proposal outright.
When asked by TV host Olga Skabeeva—often referred to as Putin’s ‘Iron Doll’—whether this meant Moscow was fully rejecting Trump’s ceasefire plan, Ushakov responded ominously: “The President will likely provide more specific and substantive assessments soon.”
Ushakov, who previously served as Moscow’s ambassador to the US, also stated that he had conveyed Russia’s stance on the ceasefire to US National Security Advisor Mike Waltz.
His remarks came as Donald Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, arrived in Moscow in an attempt to persuade Russia to agree to a 30-day ceasefire—an agreement Ukraine had already accepted following negotiations with the US earlier this week.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky remarked that Moscow’s lack of a ‘meaningful’ response to the ceasefire proposal signalled the Kremlin’s intent to continue its military campaign in Ukraine.
