WW3 Warning: ‘We Will Deploy…’ Russia’s CHILLING Warning Against U.S | Putin Lifts Missile Ban

In a chilling development, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev declared that Moscow is no longer bound by its self-imposed moratorium on deploying medium- and short-range missiles — a move that signals a sharp escalation in its confrontation with NATO. Citing “the result of NATO’s anti-Russian policy,” Medvedev warned the West to brace for “further steps,” calling this aggressive shift a “new reality” that Russia’s opponents must face. This policy shift paves the way for the Kremlin to deploy ground-based missile systems previously banned under the now-defunct INF Treaty. Moscow’s decision has sparked fears across Europe and the U.S. of a renewed arms race and heightened global instability. The announcement comes amid rising tensions over Ukraine, NATO expansion, and growing military drills along Russian borders. As Russia signals its readiness to respond forcefully, the geopolitical chessboard enters dangerous new territory. #RussiaMissiles #MedvedevWarning #MissileMoratorium #INFwithdrawal #NATOvsRussia #DmitryMedvedev #GlobalTensions #RussiaNATOClash #MilitaryEscalation #RussiaArmsRace #PutinMoves #NewColdWar #NuclearThreats #RussiaShortRangeMissiles #RussianForeignPolicy #GeopoliticalCrisis #EuropeSecurity #USRussiaTensions #ExpectFurtherSteps #KremlinStatement Also Read War between France-Germany, Elon Musk will become US president: Predictions by close Putin aide :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/war-between-france-germany-elon-musk-will-become-us-president-predictions-by-close-putin-aide-3504786.html?ref=DMDesc Post Putin’s announcement on constitutional reforms, Russian PM steps down :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/post-putins-announcement-on-constitutional-reforms-russian-pm-steps-down-3015280.html?ref=DMDesc No visa needed for Indians to visit Russia's far east :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/no-visa-needed-indians-visit-russia-s-far-east-2408596.html?ref=DMDesc

Putin Says He’s ‘Ready’ to Meet Zelensky But Lays Down CHILLING Preconditions; Zelensky STUNNED

Putin has announced he’s open to meeting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky — but only after a series of strict and chilling preconditions are met. The Kremlin insists that expert-level negotiations must make significant progress first, while also casting doubt on Zelensky’s legitimacy, citing the expiration of his presidential term in 2024. Ukraine, meanwhile, accuses Russia of using delay tactics to avoid real peace, with Zelensky demanding direct talks and warning the world not to fall for Moscow’s diplomatic trap #Putin #Zelensky #RussiaUkraineWar #PeaceTalks #Kremlin #UkraineCrisis #PutinVsZelensky #Geopolitics #WarAndPeace #BreakingNews #DiplomaticStandoff #IstanbulTalks #UkraineWar2025 #InternationalRelations #CeasefireNow Also Read US-Russia Submarine Showdown: Moscow Shrugs Off Trump’s Nuclear Posturing :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-russia-submarine-showdown-moscow-shrugs-off-trump-s-nuclear-posturing-7818569.html?ref=DMDesc US vs. Russia: Trump Deploys Nuclear Submarines Amid Rising Tensions With Kremlin :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/u-s-vs-russia-trump-deploys-nuclear-submarines-amid-rising-tensions-with-kremlin-7818561.html?ref=DMDesc Indian State Refiners Stop Russian Oil Imports As Trump Threatens Penalty: Report :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/indian-state-refiners-stop-russian-oil-imports-as-trump-threatens-penalty-report-011-7817581.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.152~HT.408~ED.420~

Russia Vs US BIG Nuclear War Brewing? Putin WARNS Trump Over Nuclear Submarine Order; ‘Be Cautious…’

Tensions between the U.S. and Russia are reaching a boiling point as US President Donald Trump claims he’s ordered the deployment of nuclear submarines in response to Russian threats. The Kremlin has fired back, with President Vladimir Putin’s spokesperson warning Washington to “be very cautious” with nuclear rhetoric. As fears of a modern-day Cold War spiral, Trump insists the U.S. is “totally prepared” for a nuclear confrontation — prompting global concern over a potential clash between two nuclear superpowers.

Trump To Send Envoy To Russia Days Before Ceasefire Deadline, Warns Of Sweeping Tariffs On Trade [Video]

Trump To Send Envoy To Russia Days Before Ceasefire Deadline, Warns Of Sweeping Tariffs On Trade

U.S. President Donald Trump has revealed that his special envoy, Steve Witkoff, may visit Russia on August 6 or 7 — just one or two days before the ceasefire deadline he has set for Moscow. If Russia fails to reach a peace deal with Ukraine by August 8, Trump says sweeping secondary tariffs will hit Russian oil and gas exports — and also target countries like India and China that continue to trade with Moscow. Witkoff, who controversially met President Putin in April, drew criticism for echoing Kremlin narratives and using Russian translators during their talks. Despite his original role as Middle East envoy, Witkoff now appears to be Trump’s unofficial channel to Putin. The pressure is mounting: Trump says sanctions are ready, but also admitted Russia is “pretty good at avoiding them.” A critical moment is approaching, with diplomatic brinkmanship and global trade consequences at stake. #Trump #Russia #UkraineWar #CeasefireDeadline #SteveWitkoff #Putin #Sanctions #Tariffs #RussianOil #China #India #MiddleEastEnvoy #MoscowMeeting #Kremlin #TrumpAdministration #OilTrade #UkraineConflict #GlobalTrade #SecondaryTariffs #TrumpNews ~HT.410~GR.122~

Russian Troops Shoot Down Ukrainian Drones With Assault Rifles | 6 UAVs Destroyed Near Freight Train [Video]

Russian Troops Shoot Down Ukrainian Drones With Assault Rifles | 6 UAVs Destroyed Near Freight Train

In a dramatic display of low-tech defense, Russian troops reportedly shot down six Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) using assault rifles during an attempted drone attack on a freight train in the Zaporozhye Region. The encounter, captured on video and shared by RT, shows soldiers firing directly at incoming drones — destroying them mid-air before they could reach their target. The freight train was secured, and no damage was reported. According to Russian sources, this marks an increase in Ukraine’s drone attacks on civilian infrastructure — a trend Moscow says it will counter with any means necessary. #RussiaUkraineWar #DroneWarfare #RussianMilitary #UAVAttack #AssaultRifleDefense #UkraineConflict #Zaporozhye #RTNews #DroneStrike #FreightTrainAttack #GunfireVsDrones #MilitaryFootage #WarInUkraine #BreakingNews Also Read India, China, Brazil Could Be Hit Hard For Trading With Russia: NATO Secretary Rutte :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/india-china-brazil-could-be-hit-hard-for-trading-with-russia-nato-secretary-rutte-7802537.html?ref=DMDesc Ukraine Confirms F-16 Loss, Pilot Killed While Intercepting Russian Missiles And Drones :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/ukraine-confirms-f-16-loss-pilot-killed-while-intercepting-russian-missiles-and-drones-7786265.html?ref=DMDesc 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

Hungary’s WW3 Warning: Ukraine’s EU Membership ‘Will DRAG’ Hungary Into Battlefield | Ukraine War

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has issued a chilling warning: Ukraine’s potential EU membership could drag Hungary and the entire Eastern European region into war. Speaking bluntly, Orban said Ukraine’s entry would turn Hungary into a battlefield, risking the lives of young Hungarians and destabilizing regional peace. Despite Ukraine’s 2022 EU candidacy and Brussels pushing for 2030 accession, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia have voiced serious opposition, citing security, financial, and political consequences. Orban also slammed the EU's seven-year budget proposal, claiming it's designed to fund Ukraine’s membership and could devastate the bloc. Hungary has already blocked several EU military aid packages to Kyiv and insists on a ceasefire. A recent referendum showed 95% of Hungarians oppose Ukraine’s EU entry. With mounting pressure from Brussels, Orban’s words now echo across a fragile Europe—will Ukraine’s EU dream come at the cost of continental peace? #UkraineEU #OrbanWarning #HungaryUkraine #EUMembershipCrisis #RussiaUkraineWar #EUExpansion #GeopoliticalRisk #EasternEuropeConflict #UkraineNews #HungaryNews #EUvsRussia #NATOExpansion #EuropeanUnion #BrusselsVsBudapest #HungarianReferendum #UkraineBorderCrisis #PolandUkraineTensions #SlovakiaOpposesUkraine #StopUkraineEU #RegionalWarThreat ~HT.318~

NATO Collapse Begins? Slovak PM Fico Stuns NATO with Pro-Russia Shift |€20B Russian Oil Deal at Risk

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico stunned NATO and EU allies after rejecting proposed sanctions on Russian energy, calling them “ideological” and harmful to Slovakia’s economy. At a press conference, Fico questioned why Slovakia should pay high gas prices due to the Ukraine conflict, citing a €16–20 billion contract with Gazprom lasting until 2034. He warned of potential lawsuits if the contract is broken and predicted that “we’ll all cooperate with Russia again.” His remarks underline a growing rift in Europe over energy strategy and long-term Russian ties. #RussiaSanctions #RussiaUkraineWar #Russia #Ukraine #NATO #Slovakia #NATOAllies #Putin #RussianOil #SlovakPM #GasPrices #EnergyCrisis #RussiaUkraine #EuropeanUnion #GasContract #FicoStatement #EnergyNews #SlovakiaRussia #BreakingNews #RobertFico Also Read Russia May Attack THIS European Country After Ukraine :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-may-attack-this-european-country-after-ukraine-4176043.html?ref=DMDesc 'Something Happened To This Guy': Trump Slams Putin For Russia's Fresh Attack On Ukraine :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/something-happened-to-this-guy-trump-slams-putin-for-russias-fresh-attack-on-ukraine-4163675.html?ref=DMDesc Donald Trump Says Russia-Ukraine Ceasefire Talks To Begin 'Immediately' Following Call With Putin :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trump-says-russia-ukraine-ceasefire-talks-to-begin-immediately-following-call-with-putin-4158165.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.194~GR.125~
