	Description:		This week's NATO summit was almost a one-man show starring someone whose country is not yet a member of the Alliance: Volodymyr Zelensky. Also this week, Narendra Modi was guest of honour at the Bastille Day military parade in Paris. India's prime minister looked on proudly as Indian soldiers joined the annual July 14 parade down the Champs-Élysées. The NATO summit this week was almost a one-man show starring someone whose country is not yet a member: Volodymyr Zelensky. He was of course hoping to win over the Alliance to give him a time frame for Ukraine's membership. He did not get that. But Zelensky did secure more weapons and a lot of goodwill from the de facto leader of NATO, US President Joe Biden. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was guest of honour at the Bastille Day parade in Paris. It is perhaps the biggest honour France can give to a visiting leader. Modi looked on with pride as Indian soldiers joined the annual military parade. Behind the scenes, big business deals were signed. India has signed up for Rafale fighter jets and submarines. It's a multi-billion-euro payday for France, and a further sign of what analysts like to call "a growing strategic relationship." But is it win-win?
