BREAKING: Zelensky BEGS Trump For Urgent Help After Russia’s MASSIVE 500-Drone, 60-Missile Onslaught [Video]

BREAKING: Zelensky BEGS Trump For Urgent Help After Russia’s MASSIVE 500-Drone, 60-Missile Onslaught

Following Russia’s largest aerial attack on Ukraine—over 500 drones and 60 missiles—President Zelensky has made an urgent plea to the U.S. and European allies for advanced air defense support. The strike injured civilians and destroyed residential infrastructure. Tragedy deepened with the death of Ukrainian F-16 pilot Maksym Ustymenko, who downed seven Russian targets. With three U.S.-made jets already lost, Ukraine’s air arsenal is thinning. Zelensky warns Moscow won’t stop unless its strike power is neutralized, as aid delays under Trump threaten Ukraine’s ability to defend itself. #Zelensky #UkraineRussiaWar #AirDefense #RussiaStrikes #UkraineCrisis #F16Pilot #USUkraine #MaksymUstymenko #DroneAttack #MissileStrike #RussiaUkraine #UkraineNews #UkraineUnderAttack #MilitaryAid #NATO #USPolitics #TrumpUkraine #BidenUkraine #EuropeSupport #UkraineDefense #BreakingNews #Kremlin Also Read Russia's Trainer Aircraft, Yakovlev Yak-18T, Crashes Near Moscow, 4 Dead :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russias-trainer-aircraft-yakovlev-yak-18t-crashes-near-moscow-4-dead-7785949.html?ref=DMDesc 'Many Nations Ready To Supply Tehran With Nuclear Warheads': Putin Aide As Iran’s Foreign Min Heads To Moscow :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/many-nations-ready-to-supply-tehran-with-nuclear-warheads-putin-aide-as-iran-s-foreign-min-heads-7780129.html?ref=DMDesc Russia Warns US Against Military Intervention In Iran-Israel Conflict: 'Unpredictable Consequences' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-warns-us-against-military-intervention-in-iran-israel-conflict-cautions-of-unpredictable-co-4186277.html?ref=DMDesc ~GR.124~HT.408~

Lavrov SLAMS Macron, Merz Of Reviving ‘Nazi-Era Instincts’ In Bid To Conquer Europe Again [Video]

Lavrov SLAMS Macron, Merz Of Reviving ‘Nazi-Era Instincts’ In Bid To Conquer Europe Again

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has launched a scathing attack on French President Emmanuel Macron and German opposition leader Friedrich Merz, accusing them of attempting to revive Europe's imperialist past. Speaking at a diplomatic event, Lavrov warned that Western leaders were reverting to their “former instincts” of conquest and domination, drawing chilling comparisons between today’s political climate and Nazi-era atrocities. He further stated that “German and Ukrainian Nazis are united by their attitudes toward those they want to enslave,” claiming that just as some “burned Jews,” others now “burn Russians.” Lavrov’s remarks come amid intensifying tensions between Moscow and the West over the war in Ukraine, NATO expansion, and growing European militarization. The inflammatory comments are expected to draw condemnation from European capitals but are in line with Russia’s narrative of positioning itself as a bulwark against Western hegemony and what it calls modern-day fascism. #Lavrov #Macron #Merz #RussiaEuropeTensions #Nazism #UkraineWar #GermanyPolitics #FranceNews #RussianFM #ConqueringEurope #RussianStatement #LavrovSpeech #RussiaVsWest #UkraineConflict #ModernNazism #RussianForeignMinistry #AntiWesternSentiment #RussianNarrative #EuropeanImperialism #LavrovMacronMerz ~HT.410~ED.102~GR.125~

Hungary Sounds WW3 ALARM Over New Support For Ukraine | Putin Warns Europe Will ‘Pay The Price’

Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has issued a stark warning: Ukraine joining NATO could spark a global war with Russia. Echoing Putin’s recent threats, Orbán says NATO expansion is a direct risk to peace in Europe. Hungary's foreign minister reinforced this stance, calling Ukraine's membership “impossible.” As NATO leaders push for more defense spending to counter Russia, divisions within the alliance deepen. While Europe arms up, Hungary distances itself—fearing the next move could ignite World War 3. #Hungary #NATO #Ukraine #WW3 #WorldWar3 #Putin #Russia #ViktorOrban #UkraineWar #Geopolitics #NATOExpansion #Orbán #GlobalRisk #NATOSummit #EU #DefenseSpending #RussiaNATO #NATOWarning #EuropeanPolitics #MilitaryTensions #NATOvsRussia #UkraineNATO #GlobalCrisis #WarThreat Also Read 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 US-Europe Divide Deepens Over Ukraine As Trump Challenges NATO's Approach :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-europe-divide-deepens-over-ukraine-as-trump-challenges-natos-approach-4080283.html?ref=DMDesc Zelensky Willing To Step Down If It Secures Ukraine's NATO Membership: 'Immediately' If Necessary :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/zelensky-willing-to-step-down-if-it-secures-ukraines-nato-membership-immediately-if-necessary-4078905.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~GR.124~
