Another VICTORY For Putin? Russia INVADES Dnipro Oblast As War Expands Dangerously Toward New Region

Russia has reportedly entered Ukraine’s Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, expanding its war zone beyond Donetsk. While Kyiv dismisses the claim as propaganda, military analysts confirm geolocation evidence of Russian advances. The strategic push threatens to encircle Pokrovsk and compromise Ukrainian defenses. This penetration, though limited, could escalate the war and shift negotiations. Western experts warn of summer offensives as Russia aims to isolate key cities and tighten its grip on southeastern Ukraine. Meanwhile, the Ukrainian military holds firm, but the situation on the Dnipro front grows increasingly tense. #RussiaUkraineWar #DniproOblast #UkraineInvasion #DonetskWar #Pokrovsk #RussianOffensive #UkraineWarNews #DniproFront #RussiaAdvance #UkraineConflict #PutinWarStrategy #DniproAttack #UkraineDefense #Geopolitics #EasternUkraine #UkraineUnderFire #UkraineTerritoryLoss #UkraineCrisis #MilitaryEncirclement #RussianMilitaryPush Also Read Russia Unleashes Record Overnight Drone Attack On Ukraine Amid Peace Talks :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-unleashes-record-overnight-drone-attack-on-ukraine-amid-peace-talks-4176255.html?ref=DMDesc This NATO Member Country Can Provide India Battle-Tested Unmanned Weapons, Tech :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/this-nato-member-country-can-provide-india-battle-tested-unmanned-weapons-tech-4175213.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Proposes Allowing Ukraine and Russia to Fight Before Seeking Peace :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-ukraine-russia-fight-for-a-while-011-4173761.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.194~

SHOCKING New Claims Emerge As Ukraine BLAMED For Moscow Crocus City Hall Massacre | 149 Killed [Video]

SHOCKING New Claims Emerge As Ukraine BLAMED For Moscow Crocus City Hall Massacre | 149 Killed

Suspects in the March 2024 Crocus City Hall massacre that killed 149 people have reportedly told Russian investigators that a Ukrainian state entity ordered the attack. According to interrogation transcripts cited by Russian media, the attackers — all Tajik nationals — said the assault was executed by ISIS-K but coordinated through a handler named "Saifullo" linked to Ukraine. The suspects were allegedly promised $13,000 each and instructed to flee to Kiev after the attack. They claimed their weapons came from Ukraine, with operational guidance originating from Türkiye and Afghanistan. Ukraine has denied any role in the incident, though it has previously admitted to sabotage inside Russian territory. The attack, which also injured over 600 people, marks one of the deadliest in Russia in recent memory. Questions persist around the true orchestrators of the massacre and whether foreign intelligence or proxy actors were involved. #MoscowAttack #CrocusCityHall #RussiaUkraine #ISISK #UkraineTerrorAllegation #RussiaNews #BreakingNews #Geopolitics #RussiaSecurity #Putin #UkraineSabotage #TerrorInRussia #RussianMedia #UkraineDenies #ProxyWar #IslamicState #CrisisInEurope #TajikSuspects #KievInvolvement #WarOnTerror ~HT.408~

Zelensky IMPOSES Sanctions On Iran, Aligns With EU To Punish ‘Internal Repression’ And Terror Links

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has announced Ukraine is now fully aligning with European Union sanctions on Iran. In a dramatic statement, Zelenskyy accused Iran of supporting external terror campaigns, engaging in brutal domestic repression, and forging a dangerous alliance with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The move marks Kyiv’s most aggressive stance against Tehran, extending Ukraine's sanctions policy beyond Russia to its geopolitical backers. Zelenskyy labeled the Iranian government “one of the most brutal regimes in the world” and said Ukraine would contribute to targeting Iranian individuals, companies, and entities involved in both weapons production and regional destabilization. He emphasized the global importance of sanctions against both Russia and its partners. The announcement comes as Iran and Russia deepen defense ties amid the ongoing Ukraine conflict. #Zelensky #UkraineIran #IranSanctions #EUAlignment #PutinIran #RussiaWar #KyivPolitics #IranRegime #SanctionsNow #UkraineNews #Geopolitics #VolodymyrZelensky #IranCrackdown #Tehran #PutinAllies #IranRussiaTies #EUforeignpolicy #UkraineWar #MiddleEastPolitics #IranianSanctions

Putin’s Two-Faced Diplomacy EXPOSED: Urges Peace While Backing Iran’s Missile Strike On Israel [Video]

Putin’s Two-Faced Diplomacy EXPOSED: Urges Peace While Backing Iran’s Missile Strike On Israel

Russia is playing both arsonist and fireman. As Vladimir Putin urges Israel to resolve conflict through diplomacy, he openly defends Iran’s missile barrage on Tel Aviv. Moscow blasted Israel’s strikes as “unprovoked” and a violation of the UN Charter, and even offered Tehran condolences for its dead generals. The Kremlin paints itself as a peace broker — but is arming Iran, deepening ties, and offering to remove enriched uranium to "help." This dual narrative exposes a calculated double game as war looms in the Middle East. #RussiaIran #PutinIsraelTensions #MiddleEastCrisis #IranMissileStrike #TelAvivAttack #PutinDoubleGame #IranRetaliation #RussiaBacksIran #UNCharterViolation #KremlinDiplomacy #PutinVsIsrael #RussiaMiddleEast #BreakingNews #TehranStrike #IsraelIranConflict #MoscowSupportIran #PutinStrategy #MiddleEastWar #PutinContradiction #RussiaIsraelIran Also Read Iran Army Claims Its Suicide Drones Successfully Hit Targets :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/iran-army-claims-its-suicide-drones-successfully-hit-targets-4181599.html?ref=DMDesc Iran-Israel Conflict: India Issues Advisory For Nationals In Israel; Warns Citizens To Remain Vigilant :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/iran-israel-conflict-india-issues-advisory-for-nationals-in-israel-warns-citizens-to-remain-vigila-4181365.html?ref=DMDesc From Covert Ops To All-Out Strike: How Israel And Iran Reached The Brink :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/from-covert-ops-to-all-out-strike-how-israel-and-iran-reached-the-brink-4181293.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.420~
