Kremlin’s Most SHOCKING Move Yet? Backs France’s Recognition of Palestine |Defies Trump & Netanyahu [Video]

Kremlin’s Most SHOCKING Move Yet? Backs France’s Recognition of Palestine |Defies Trump & Netanyahu

In a dramatic global twist, Russia has declared full support for Palestinian statehood, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov reaffirming Moscow's long-standing commitment to a two-state solution. The statement comes on the heels of French President Emmanuel Macron’s bombshell announcement that France will recognize Palestine at the upcoming UN General Assembly in September — making it the first major Western power to do so. Russia, which adopted Palestine’s 1988 declaration of independence under the USSR, insists that peace in the Middle East hinges on UN Security Council resolutions and the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state. Macron’s decision has enraged Israel and the U.S., with Netanyahu calling it a “reward for terror” and Secretary of State Marco Rubio labeling it “reckless.” Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia and Spain have praised the move, calling it “historic.” Over 59,000 Palestinians have died in the ongoing Gaza war, intensifying the global demand for Palestinian recognition. #Russia #Palestine #Israel #France #Macron #UN #TwoStateSolution #MiddleEastConflict #Kremlin #PalestinianStatehood #GazaWar #Netanyahu #MarcoRubio #USIsraelTensions #UNRecognition #WorldNews #GlobalDiplomacy #EastJerusalem #WestBank #PalestineRecognition

Russia Gas Explosion Caught On Cam | Explosion Rips Saratov’s High-Rise | Kills 3 Including Child [Video]

Russia Gas Explosion Caught On Cam | Explosion Rips Saratov’s High-Rise | Kills 3 Including Child

A powerful gas explosion ripped through a 10-story apartment building in Russia’s southern city of Saratov, killing at least three people — including a child — and leaving devastation in its wake. The blast occurred early Friday in the Leninsky district, with part of the building’s upper floors torn off, exposing the wreckage and scattering debris across the ground. Photos from the scene reveal utter destruction: gaping holes in the structure, crumbled walls, and mangled household items. Emergency response teams rushed to the site, and Governor Roman Busargin personally surveyed the damage. While gas explosions in Russia are often linked to Soviet-era infrastructure, this building was relatively modern, built in 2011 and managed by the company Sovezdye+. A criminal probe has been launched into possible safety violations. The tragedy underscores ongoing concerns over residential gas safety and building maintenance across the country. #SaratovExplosion #RussiaBlast #GasExplosion #SaratovNews #BuildingCollapse #RussianEmergency #LeninskyDistrict #ChildKilled #BreakingNews #RussiaDisaster #ApartmentBlast #UrbanTragedy #RussianInfrastructure #Firefighters #EmergencyResponse #GovernorBusargin #BuildingSafety #RussianProbe #DeadlyExplosion #SaratovIncident ~HT.178~GR.125~ED.420~

Russia SCARED As 49 Australian Abrams Tanks ARRIVE in Ukraine | Can $10M Beasts CRUSH Putin’s Army?

Ukraine has received 49 Australian M1A1 Abrams tanks, significantly strengthening its armored fleet against Russian forces. Delayed for months due to U.S. clearance issues, these refurbished Abrams bring advanced firepower, superior Chobham armor, and cutting-edge targeting systems far beyond Russia’s Soviet-era T-72s. Equipped with anti-drone screens and explosive-reactive armor, they enhance survivability against modern battlefield threats. The arrival of these tanks allows Ukraine to replenish losses, support Leopard 2 and Challenger 2 fleets, and regain offensive momentum to break Russian strongholds on the ground. #Ukraine #AbramsTanks #M1A1Abrams #Kyiv #RussiaUkraineWar #AustralianAbrams #WesternTanks #MilitaryAid #UkraineWar #UkraineDefense #ArmoredWarfare #TankBattle #ChobhamArmor #ThermalSights #TankPower #NATOWeapons #UkraineStrong #RussianWar #UkraineUpdate #DefenseNews #MilitaryNews #AbramsVsT72 #KyivOffensive #UkraineFrontline #WarNews #TankFleet #UkraineSupport #UkraineVictory #ModernWarfare #BreakingNews #WesternWeapons Also Read US Will Send Patriot Missiles To Ukraine: Trump Takes U-Turn Over Arm Deliveries To Kyiv :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-will-send-patriot-missiles-to-ukraine-trump-takes-u-turn-over-arm-deliveries-to-kyiv-011-7800325.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 Ukraine Hits Russia's Crimea Bridge Using 1,100 Kilograms Of Explosives :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/ukraine-hits-russias-crimea-bridge-using-1-100-kilograms-of-explosives-4171479.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~

Govt: Trump state visit will be a success despite recess

Donald Trump will be hosted by the King and Queen at Windsor Castle during his unprecedented second state visit to the UK from September 17 to 19, Buckingham Palace said. The House of Commons will not be sitting at the time of the visit as it will be in recess for party conference season, meaning the US president will not be able to address Parliament as French president Emmanuel Macron did in July.
