The fresh turmoil came as the governing coalition collapsed this weekend, when a video was made public that appeared to show the vice chancellor, Heinz-Christian Strache of the Freedom Party, promising government contracts to the niece of a Russian oligarch close to President Vladimir Putin. Mr. Strache [quit on Saturday](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRexgszP0ShaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAxOS8wNS8xOC93b3JsZC9ldXJvcGUvYXVzdHJpYS1zdHJhY2hlLXJlc2lnbnMtdmlkZW8uaHRtbD9tb2R1bGU9aW5saW5lJnRlPTEmbmw9bW9ybmluZy1icmllZmluZyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9NQkVfcF8yMDE5MDUyMSZzZWN0aW9uPXRvcE5ld3NXA255dEIKACczhuNcxX4TwFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA). Chancellor Sebastian Kurz said on Monday that he would ask the president to dismiss the interior minister, Herbert Kickl, for failing to take action in the scandal’s wake. In retaliation, the Freedom Party quickly jettisoned its remaining four ministers — from the ministries of integration and foreign affairs, labor and social affairs, defense and transportation. Impact: Ahead of this week’s European Parliament elections, the scandal has raised concern about the influence the Kremlin wields with sympathetic far-right and populist parties around the Continent.

He has said his first priority is to reach a cease-fire in the war against Russian proxies in the country’s east that has claimed 13,000 lives. His party, Servant of the People, does not hold any seats in Parliament. Voting for a new Parliament had been scheduled for October, but Mr. Zelensky dissolved the current Parliament and moved the election to July, aiming to seize an advantage while he remains very popular. Quotable: “My whole life I tried to do everything to make Ukrainians laugh,” said Mr. Zelensky, who became famous as a comedian. “Now I will do everything to make sure Ukrainians at least won’t cry any more.” Huawei frozen out in tech war The Chinese technology giant has begun to feel the effects of a Trump administration order effectively banning American firms from selling components and software to the company.

A victory for Mr. Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party would confirm that Indians want a strong national leader, a contrast to the weak, messy coalitions that have governed in the past. Takeaway: Mr. Modi fits the mold of the political strongman, and many such figures have risen to power around the world. He stirs huge crowds, projects a macho image of his country abroad, speaks to voters directly via Twitter and has the ability to stoke nationalism. Perspective: Voters hoping that Mr. Modi would be a Reaganesque figure who would shrink the government’s role in the Indian economy shouldn’t hold their breath, according to Ruchir Sharma: “India’s political DNA is fundamentally socialist,” [he writes in an Op-Ed](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRexgszP0SFaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAxOS8wNS8xOS9vcGluaW9uL2luZGlhLWVsZWN0aW9ucy1tb2RpLmh0bWw_dGU9MSZubD1tb3JuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJmVtYz1lZGl0X01CRV9wXzIwMTkwNTIxJnNlY3Rpb249dG9wTmV3c1cDbnl0QgoAJzOG41zFfhPAUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~).
