Zelensky’s Most Controversial Outfit Yet? Wears Black Vyshyvanka Outfit Ditching Suit | WATCH

On Ukraine’s 2025 Independence Day, President Volodymyr Zelensky made a bold fashion statement that went beyond clothing—it was pure symbolism. Just six days after wearing a formal black suit at the White House under reported pressure from Donald Trump’s team, Zelensky returned home and ditched the Western formality for a striking black vyshyvanka, Ukraine’s traditional embroidered shirt. The black fabric carried deep meaning: mourning the thousands lost in war while showcasing resilience and national pride. For Ukrainians, the vyshyvanka is more than an outfit—it’s a symbol of cultural survival. Zelensky’s decision to abandon suits “too” for his own nation’s day underscored his defiance of external expectations and his loyalty to Ukrainian traditions. It was not just attire, but wartime messaging: Ukraine’s spirit cannot be tailored to foreign demands. #Zelensky #UkraineIndependenceDay #Vyshyvanka #UkraineWar #UkraineRussia #Trump #WhiteHouse #Kyiv #UkraineCulture #UkraineNews #WarSymbolism #UkraineTradition #UkraineResilience #ZelenskyStyle #UkraineHeritage #UkraineConflict #UkrainePresident #UkrainePride #UkraineSolidarity #UkraineFashion ~HT.410~GR.124~

Trump REFUSES to Condemn Putin Even After Russia Strikes US Factory |What Does Putin Have On Trump?

Russia’s missile strike on the U.S.-owned Flex factory in Ukraine was seen as a potential turning point in the war. But instead of lifting the ban on deep Ukrainian strikes inside Russia, President Trump responded with a tweet blaming Biden—without directly condemning Putin. Even after Putin openly rejected Trump’s calls for talks, the U.S. president showed restraint, raising doubts about his approach to Moscow. With Ukraine seeking stronger support and Russia flexing military power, Trump’s silence underscores Putin’s upper hand in diplomacy. #Trump #Putin #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraine #USPolitics #FlexFactory #MissileStrike #Kinzhal #CruiseMissile #Zelensky #WhiteHouse #Biden #TrumpTweet #GlobalConflict #WarNews #Diplomacy #Geopolitics #Russia #Ukraine #PutinPower #TrumpVsPutin #USRussiaRelations #BreakingNews #ForeignPolicy #Washington #Moscow #PeaceTalks #UkraineCrisis #TrumpSpeech #WorldPolitics #MilitaryNews Also Read US President Trump Appoints Close Aide Sergio Gor As India Ambassador :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-trump-appoints-close-aide-sergio-gor-as-india-ambassador-7838355.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Govt Reviews 55 Million US Visa Holders For Possible Deportation :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-govt-reviews-55-million-us-visa-holders-for-possible-deportation-7837279.html?ref=DMDesc India Cheat US On Trade: Trump's Key Adviser Peter Navaroo :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/india-cheat-us-on-trade-trumps-key-adviser-peter-navaroo-7837205.html?ref=DMDesc ~GR.122~HT.408~

All Out War With Putin: Trump Sends 3,350 HUGE Missiles To Ukraine Warns Russia Dangerous Escalation

In a move set to escalate the conflict, the United States has approved the sale of 3,350 air-launched ERAM cruise missiles to Ukraine, according to the Wall Street Journal. With a range of up to 280 miles, the missiles could enable Kyiv to strike deep into Russian territory. Deliveries are expected by the end of 2025, though some shipments may arrive in just six weeks. Reports indicate Ukraine will need Pentagon approval before launching the weapons. President Donald Trump, who previously criticized unconditional aid to Kyiv, recently warned Ukraine has “no chance of winning” without long-range strike capability. NATO allies, especially France and Germany, are backing further weapons deliveries as part of post-war security guarantees, even as Russia insists Western military aid blocks peace. The missile deal highlights the growing stakes in Europe’s deadliest conflict since World War II. #UkraineWar #CruiseMissiles #USEscalation #TrumpUkraine #RussiaUkraineWar #MissileDeal #USUkraine #NATO #UkraineConflict #MilitaryAid #UkraineNews #Pentagon #UkraineDefense #UkraineCrisis #RussiaWar #TrumpNews #SecurityGuarantees #UkraineMilitary #Geopolitics #WarUpdate ~HT.410~ED.103~GR.124~

South Africa FUMES at Trump’s 30% Tariff Bombshell | Will Ramaphosa Choose China Over the U.S.? [Video]

South Africa FUMES at Trump’s 30% Tariff Bombshell | Will Ramaphosa Choose China Over the U.S.?

In a major international development, former U.S. President Donald Trump has announced a sweeping 30% tariff on all goods imported from South Africa, set to begin on August 1. In a letter, Trump claimed South Africa's trade policies are "far from reciprocal," prompting this drastic measure. The White House has indicated that these tariffs could be adjusted based on the future of US-Pretoria relations. Responding swiftly, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has sharply pushed back, labelling the tariff a "contested interpretation" of the current trade reality. In a statement from his office, Ramaphosa highlighted that South Africa's average tariff on imports is a modest 7.6%, and a staggering 77% of all U.S. goods enter the country completely duty-free. He has tasked a special team to urgently engage with U.S. officials on the matter. High-stakes negotiations are already underway. U.S. and South African officials have met in Angola to discuss tariff relief and market access. South Africa's trade ministry is pushing to delay the deadline and negotiate a new framework, with sources indicating they are seeking to cap the duty rate at 10% as a potential compromise. The international community is watching closely as a Press Secretary Leavitt has hinted at a possible delay, leaving the future of US-South Africa trade hanging in the balance. #TradeWar #SouthAfrica #DonaldTrump #BreakingNews #WorldNews #USA #CyrilRamaphosa #USTrade #LatestNews #OneindiaNews #BreakingNews #30PercentTarif Also Read US President Donald Trump Announces 25% Tariffs On Japan, South Korea :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-donald-trump-announces-25-tariffs-on-japan-south-korea-7794333.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Calls Musk’s America Party Plan ‘Ridiculous’ And ‘Unworkable’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-calls-musk-s-america-party-plan-ridiculous-and-unworkable-7793443.html?ref=DMDesc America Will Be Richer, Safer, and Prouder: Trump As Big, Beautiful Bill Passes Congress :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-s-big-beautiful-bill-passes-congress-in-big-win-for-us-president-011-7790919.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.103~

With renewed cooperation and resistance, this BRICS Strategic Awakening could reshape the global trade order.

'Will have to PAY BIG PRIZE' |Trump THREATENS 10% Tariffs on BRICS Nations over De-Dollarisation Bid

Donald Trump issued a bold warning to BRICS nations—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—accusing them of trying to “undermine the dollar.” Trump declared a 10% tariff would hit any country aligning with BRICS or challenging U.S. currency dominance. “The dollar is king. We’re going to keep it that way,” he asserted. The statement signals Trump’s aggressive stance on global finance and hints at harsh penalties for nations embracing BRICS’ alternative trade frameworks or currency cooperation. #TrumpVsBRICS #DollarIsKing #TrumpTariffs #BRICSWarning #USDollarDominance #CurrencyWar #TradeThreat #Geopolitics #Trump2024 #TrumpSpeech #GlobalFinance #BRICSEconomies #USSanctions #10PercentTariff #TrumpForeignPolicy #EconomicShowdown #BreakingNews #TrumpNews #BRICSExpansion #Dedollarization #CurrencyChallenge #TariffThreat #AmericaFirst #USVsBRICS Also Read Trump Condemns Brazilian Authorities for Alleged Witch Hunt Against Bolsonaro :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-criticises-brazilian-authorities-witch-hunt-bolsonaro-011-7794385.html?ref=DMDesc US President Donald Trump Announces 25% Tariffs On Japan, South Korea :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-donald-trump-announces-25-tariffs-on-japan-south-korea-7794333.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Calls Musk’s America Party Plan ‘Ridiculous’ And ‘Unworkable’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-calls-musk-s-america-party-plan-ridiculous-and-unworkable-7793443.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.420~

Hamas CELEBRATES BRICS Statement SLAMMING Israel’s ‘GENOCIDAL’ WAR in Gaza | Backs Ceasefire Call

Hamas welcomed the BRICS summit statement demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and full Israeli withdrawal. The BRICS communiqué accused Israel of using starvation as a weapon of war and condemned its ongoing military siege. With over 57,400 Palestinians killed, BRICS backed Palestinian statehood with East Jerusalem as its capital. Hamas urged BRICS nations-including China, Russia, and South Africa-to intensify global pressure on Israel’s blockade and occupation. The group also reaffirmed support for UNRWA and denounced aid politicization in Gaza. #GazaUnderSiege #BRICSSummit #FreePalestine #StopTheWar #GazaCeasefire #HamasStatement #EndTheOccupation #PalestinianRights #IsraelWarCrimes #GazaBlockade #StarvationAsWeapon #UNRWA #BRICSForPalestine #GazaCrisis #EastJerusalem #GazaDeathToll #HumanitarianDisaster #BRICS2025 #GazaResistance #WarOnCivilians #PalestineWillBeFree #MiddleEastCrisis #InternationalPressure #GlobalSolidarity #JusticeForGaza #CeasefireNow #BRICSDiplomacy Also Read BRICS Leaders Push For India And Brazil's Inclusion As Permanent Members Of UN Security Council :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/brics-leaders-push-for-india-and-brazils-inclusion-as-permanent-members-of-un-security-council-7794021.html?ref=DMDesc There Should Be No Hesitation In Imposing Sanctions Against Terrorists: PM Modi At BRICS :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/there-should-be-no-hesitation-in-imposing-sanctions-against-terrorists-pm-modi-at-brics-7793415.html?ref=DMDesc Hamas Leader Muhammad Sinwar Killed In Israel's Air Strike :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/hamas-leader-muhammad-sinwar-killed-in-israels-air-strike-4156915.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.194~GR.124~

‘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~

‘Slap For Zelensky’: Russia Mocks Ukraine Using Trump’s War Map | Moscow Declares It A Win

During an Oval Office meeting on August 18, 2025, Donald Trump displayed a Ukraine war map highlighting territories under Russian control — a move Russia’s Foreign Ministry called a “strong slap” for President Zelensky. The map served as a public reminder of Ukraine’s battlefield losses, undermining Zelensky’s narrative of strength before European allies. For Russia, the display was hailed as a diplomatic win, reinforcing Putin’s territorial claims. For Europe, it raised fears that U.S. priorities are shifting toward Moscow, pressuring Kyiv toward concessions. #Trump #Zelensky #UkraineWar #Russia #WhiteHouse #Geopolitics #UkraineConflict #Putin #USPolitics #TrumpMap #UkraineRussia #WarMap #Diplomacy #Europe #TrumpUkraine #GeopoliticalShift #OvalOffice #ForeignPolicy #UkraineCrisis #Territory #Negotiations #TrumpNews #RussianMFA #BreakingNews #UkraineUpdate #TrumpVsZelensky #RussiaUkraineWar #GlobalPolitics #WarReality #TrumpSignal #USRussia

Trump & Zelensky’s Transformation: From Oval Office SHOUTING MATCH To Smiling Talks | What Changed?

Just months after a tense Oval Office clash that ended in a shouting match, President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky struck a surprisingly cooperative tone in their latest White House meeting. Zelensky, criticized earlier for his military-style attire, appeared in a suit jacket, signaling a diplomatic gesture while keeping his wartime identity. This softer approach set the stage for lighthearted exchanges with Trump and multilateral talks joined by European leaders. Discussions centered on a potential peace deal with Russia, with Trump pushing for trilateral negotiations. #Trump #Zelensky #UkraineWar #WhiteHouse #Diplomacy #PeaceTalks #RussiaUkraine #Geopolitics #GlobalAffairs #USPolitics #OvalOffice #VolodymyrZelensky #TrumpMeeting #InternationalRelations #PoliticalDrama #BreakingNews #WorldNews #BilateralTalks #PeaceNegotiations #TrumpVsZelensky #EULeaders #UkraineCrisis #Macron #VonDerLeyen #MarkRutte #GlobalDiplomacy #USForeignPolicy #WarAndPeace #UkraineSupport #Multilateral ~ED.103~HT.408~
