A massive Russian onslaught of missiles, bombs, and drones has left over 600 Ukrainian troops dead, according to the Russian Ministry of Defense.

The attack marks one of the deadliest single operations in recent months, sending shockwaves through Kyiv’s battlefield morale.

Meanwhile, a dramatic political twist is unfolding—Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has signaled readiness to engage in direct peace talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Sources suggest Ukraine may even consider concessions on territories under Russian control, sparking debate over whether Kyiv is preparing for a painful compromise. With battlefield devastation and diplomatic maneuvers happening simultaneously, the war seems to be entering a dangerous new phase. #RussiaUkraineWar #UkraineCrisis #Zelensky #Putin #RussianArmy #UkraineWarNews #DroneStrike #UkraineTroops #PeaceTalks #WarFootage #RussiaStrikes #UkraineConflict #MissileStrike #UkraineCasualties #UkraineRussiaPeace #BreakingNews #UkraineFrontlines #DroneWar #UkraineUpdate #Moscow Also Read Donald Trump Suggests "Best Way" To End Russia-Ukraine War After Meeting Putin In Alaska :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trump-suggests-best-way-to-end-russia-ukraine-war-after-meeting-putin-in-alaska-7832063.html?ref=DMDesc Zelenskyy Slams Ongoing Russian Strikes As Trump–Putin Hold High-Stakes Alaska Summit :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/zelenskyy-slams-ongoing-russian-strikes-as-trump-putin-hold-high-stakes-alaska-summit-7831405.html?ref=DMDesc Ukrainian First Lady’s Special Surprise Stop In Jaipur Before Japan Visit :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/ukrainian-first-lady-s-special-surprise-stop-in-jaipur-before-japan-visit-7821279.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.102~

India-US Trade War Escalates:India HALTS Postal Service To US | India’s Revenge Move Amid Trade War [Video]

India-US Trade War Escalates:India HALTS Postal Service To US | India’s Revenge Move Amid Trade War

India has announced a dramatic suspension of all postal services to the United States starting August 25, following sweeping tariff changes by the Trump administration. The move comes after Executive Order No. 14324 ended the duty-free exemption for items up to $800, hitting Indian exporters and postal customers hard. With US-bound carriers refusing consignments due to undefined customs processes, India Post said only letters, documents, and small gifts under $100 will be exempt. The suspension follows Trump’s 25% tariff on India, coupled with an additional 25% penalty for buying Russian oil, pushing the total levy to 50%. Protests are rising as businesses, families, and exporters brace for chaos in shipments, refunds, and trade flows. The Department of Posts has promised efforts to restore services but warned delays could be prolonged, intensifying an already heated US–India trade standoff. #IndiaUS #TrumpTariffs #PostalSuspension #IndiaTrade #USEconomy #ModiTrump #TradeWar #IndiaExports #PostalCrisis #BreakingNews #IndiaNews #TrumpMoves #USIndiaRelations #GlobalTrade #DutyShock #CustomsCrisis #TariffWar #PostalBan #IndianExports #EconomicTensions ~HT.410~ED.103~

BREAKING: Zelensky Surrenders To Putin? Ukraine Ready To Cede Terrorities To Russia | Russia-Ukraine [Video]

BREAKING: Zelensky Surrenders To Putin? Ukraine Ready To Cede Terrorities To Russia | Russia-Ukraine

In a stunning turn, Ukraine signaled readiness for direct talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, with a senior diplomat saying President Volodymyr Zelensky is prepared to discuss territorial disputes. Ukraine’s First Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Kislitsa stressed that the current frontline could serve as the starting point for negotiations, though Kyiv insists it will not trade land for peace. Behind closed doors, however, reports suggest Zelensky may consider freezing the conflict along existing battle lines. The move comes as the West races to draft security guarantees for Kyiv, with the US likely overseeing command and Europe providing the bulk of forces. Moscow has cautiously welcomed dialogue but warned that serious diplomatic groundwork must precede any meeting. Russian officials have also questioned Zelensky’s authority, as his presidential term expired over a year ago, adding another layer of uncertainty to the potential high-stakes talks. #Ukraine #Russia #Zelensky #Putin #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraineWar #PeaceTalks #Territory #Ceasefire #Diplomacy #Kiev #Moscow #Negotiations #UkraineConflict #RussiaNews #UkraineUpdate #WorldNews #Geopolitics #SecurityGuarantees #BreakingNews Also Read Donald Trump Suggests "Best Way" To End Russia-Ukraine War After Meeting Putin In Alaska :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trump-suggests-best-way-to-end-russia-ukraine-war-after-meeting-putin-in-alaska-7832063.html?ref=DMDesc Zelenskyy Slams Ongoing Russian Strikes As Trump–Putin Hold High-Stakes Alaska Summit :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/zelenskyy-slams-ongoing-russian-strikes-as-trump-putin-hold-high-stakes-alaska-summit-7831405.html?ref=DMDesc Ukrainian First Lady’s Special Surprise Stop In Jaipur Before Japan Visit :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/ukrainian-first-lady-s-special-surprise-stop-in-jaipur-before-japan-visit-7821279.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~GR.124~ED.102~

‘Less Than 20 Hostages…’ Trump SHOCKS Israeli Families | Israeli Families Fumes Over Netanyahu [Video]

‘Less Than 20 Hostages…’ Trump SHOCKS Israeli Families | Israeli Families Fumes Over Netanyahu

In a stunning Oval Office press conference, U.S. President Donald Trump suggested that fewer than 20 of the remaining hostages in Gaza are still alive — sparking outrage and despair from families demanding answers. Trump credited himself with previous hostage releases but warned that “a couple of them are not around any longer,” contradicting Israel’s official figures. Israel insists that 50 hostages remain in Gaza, with 20 alive, 2 in grave danger, and 28 confirmed dead. Families accused the government of keeping them in the dark while Trump’s comments intensified pressure on Prime Minister Netanyahu, who is preparing to launch a massive Gaza City offensive under the name “Operation Iron Fist.” With one million Palestinians ordered to evacuate, negotiators scramble to reach a ceasefire-hostage deal before the invasion begins. The question now: how many hostages remain alive — and can they be saved in time? #Trump #Israel #Hostages #GazaWar #Netanyahu #Hamas #GazaCity #OperationIronFist #OvalOffice #IDF #Ceasefire #MiddleEast #HostageCrisis #BreakingNews #TwoFrontWar #USPolitics #Palestine #HostageFamilies #October7 #WarEscalation ~HT.410~ED.346~GR.124~

In a shocking and explosive speech from the launch of Florida’s controversial “Alligator Alcatraz” migrant detention center, Donald Trump hurled a vicious insult at former President Joe Biden, escalating the already fiery political rhetoric ahead of 2028. Standing beside Ron DeSantis and Kristi Noem, Trump joked about being locked up himself—then turned his fury on Biden in a jaw-dropping verbal attack that’s making headlines nationwide. Critics have slammed the new facility as inhumane, while supporters hail it as a bold step in immigration enforcement. But it was Trump’s foul-mouthed tirade that stole the spotlight.

Trump and DeSantis Tour ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ Deportation Camp | From GOP Rivals to Immigration Bros

In a stunning show of unity, former GOP rivals Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis toured a controversial new deportation facility in the Florida Everglades — dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz.” The swampy, isolated camp is designed to promote “self-deportation” by making conditions intentionally uncomfortable. Just last year, Trump branded DeSantis as “DeSanctimonious” during the brutal 2024 primaries — but now, he calls their relationship a “10 out of 10.” What does this alliance mean for U.S. immigration policy, and how will the public react to this extreme enforcement strategy? #Trump #DeSantis #Immigration #AlligatorAlcatraz #DeportationCamp #USPolitics #MAGA #GOP #FloridaPolitics #2025News #BreakingNews #SelfDeportation #TrumpDeSantisAlliance ~HT.318~ED.346~PR.274~GR.125~
