Putin UNLEASHES Hell On Ukraine | Moscow’s REVENGE As Ukraine Drones ‘Shut’ Russian Gas Pipeline [Video]

Putin UNLEASHES Hell On Ukraine | Moscow’s REVENGE As Ukraine Drones ‘Shut’ Russian Gas Pipeline

Russia launched a devastating wave of missile strikes on Kyiv and Mykolaiv after Ukraine unleashed drone attacks across Russian military and industrial hubs. Explosions rocked both nations in an explosive two‑day escalation, including a drone strike that shut down the crucial Central Asia–Center gas pipeline in Volgograd—vital for Russia’s military energy needs. Ukraine targeted facilities like the Elektropribor plant in Penza and a Shahed-drone airbase in Primorsko-Akhtarsk. Moscow scrambled quickly, intercepting 112 Ukrainian drones and responding with 53 of its own. The retaliation struck civilian zones, reducing homes in Mykolaiv to rubble and seriously wounding several. This sharp escalation follows a Russian drone assault on Kyiv that killed 31 people just hours earlier. With energy infrastructure crippled and cities ablaze, the tit-for-tat violence underscores how the Ukraine war threatens to spiral across borders—bringing military escalation and civilian suffering to new heights. #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraine #UkraineDrones #RussianMissiles #KyivAttack #MykolaivStrike #GasPipeline #CentralAsiaCenter #EnergyWar #Elektropribor #ShahedDrorseAirbase #PenzaAttack #RetaliationStrikes #MoscowInterceptions #CivilianCasualties #RubbleCoverage #WarEscalation #DroneOffensive #MilitaryTargets #ConflictIntensifies

Trump’s BIGGEST ‘Betrayal’ To Americans? GOP Ally Slams Ukraine War Funding As Backstab To Voters [Video]

Trump’s BIGGEST ‘Betrayal’ To Americans? GOP Ally Slams Ukraine War Funding As Backstab To Voters

Outspoken Republican lawmaker Marjorie Taylor Greene has condemned U.S. funding for the Ukraine war, calling it a “complete betrayal” of American taxpayers. Referring to Trump’s 2024 victory, Greene argued that voters had rejected foreign wars, yet Washington continues to finance conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza. She accused Democrats—and some neocon Republicans—of pushing an “America LAST” agenda while warning that such policies will alienate younger voters permanently. Greene even called Israel’s Gaza offensive a “genocide,” highlighting deep fractures within Trump’s GOP. Despite campaign promises to end the war, Trump recently approved additional military support for Kiev, including Patriot missile systems. The debate exposes growing discontent among Republican ranks about endless foreign interventions and unchecked military spending. Meanwhile, Ukrainian officials praised Trump’s support, calling it a vital deterrent against Russian advances. Greene warned that ignoring these political alarm bells could prove disastrous for U.S. unity and voter trust. #MarjorieTaylorGreene #UkraineWar #GazaCrisis #Trump2024 #RepublicanDivide #USForeignPolicy #AmericaFirst #WarFunding #IsraelPalestine #Betrayal #TaxpayerMoney #StopTheWars #KievConflict #TrumpVsGOP #YoungVoterBacklash #TrumpMissiles #PatriotMissiles #MiddleEastTensions #BidenForeignPolicy #AmericanVoters Also Read Trump Claims Canada's Recognition of Palestinian State Complicates Trade Negotiations :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-uses-canada-palestinian-state-recognition-leverage-trade-talks-011-7817517.html?ref=DMDesc Trump's Ambition as a Global Peacemaker Faces Challenges Amid Gaza Ceasefire Talks :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-global-peacemaker-gaza-ceasefire-challenges-011-7810943.html?ref=DMDesc 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 ~HT.408~

Ukraine War Latest: Russia Declares Chasiv Yar 'Liberated' | Ukraine Denies Claim, Says ‘Fight…’

Russia claims it has captured the key town of Chasiv Yar in eastern Ukraine after 16 months of brutal fighting. A verified video shows Russian soldiers raising their flag in the devastated ruins, but Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and top military officials have called the claim “disinformation” and “propaganda.” Analysts warn the fall, if true, could allow Russia to edge closer to Kostiantynivka and disrupt Ukrainian logistics. Meanwhile, heavy fighting is reported near Pokrovsk, southwest of Chasiv Yar. The town, once home to over 12,000 residents, now lies in ruins after months of Russian air raids and ground assaults. As battlefield conditions intensify, U.S. President Trump has warned of new sanctions against Moscow and its trade partners if a ceasefire isn't reached soon. With both sides trading claims and video evidence surfacing, Chasiv Yar may mark a new turning point in the eastern front of the war. #ChasivYar #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraineConflict #Zelensky #Putin #Pokrovsk #DonetskBattle #TrumpSanctions #UkraineFrontline #EasternUkraine #DroneWarfare #Bakhmut #ChasivYarFalls #RussianAdvance #WarInUkraine #UkraineNews #PutinArmy #ConcreteTownFalls #Geopolitics #Kostiantynivka ~ED.420~HT.408~GR.124~

NATO-Russia Full Blown Conflict: Russia Issues CHILLING WARNING To Bulgaria Over Black Sea Tensions [Video]

NATO-Russia Full Blown Conflict: Russia Issues CHILLING WARNING To Bulgaria Over Black Sea Tensions

Russia has issued a sharp warning to Bulgaria after the Bulgarian Parliament labeled Moscow a “state sponsor of terrorism” and seized Russian property. The Kremlin condemned the move as a product of EU-driven Russophobia, calling it a provocation that “won’t go unanswered.” With NATO backing Bulgaria and tensions rising in the Black Sea, fears of escalation grow. Though a full-blown conflict is unlikely, hybrid threats remain. Russia's fleet still holds Kalibr missile power, while Bulgaria, backed by NATO, braces for any threat near its modernizing navy. #Russia #Bulgaria #BlackSeaTensions #Putin #NATO #Geopolitics #WarThreat #KalibrMissiles #BulgariaNavy #HybridWarfare #Article5 #EU #RussiaUkraineWar #PutinWarning #Bosphorus #NavalConflict #Moscow #RussianFleet #MilitaryTensions #DefenseNews #BreakingNews #GlobalSecurity #NATONews #EasternEurope #BalticCrisis #BlackSeaCrisis #NATOvsRussia #UkraineWar #WarZone #SecurityAlert #MilitaryEscalation Also Read Hawaii Tsunami Warning: Next Waves Could Reach Up to 10 Feet, Say Officials :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/hawaii-tsunami-warning-next-waves-could-reach-up-to-10-feet-say-officials-011-7815551.html?ref=DMDesc India Tsunami Warning?

VIDEO: Big SHOCKER For Trump & Zelensky As Putin SMASHES Patriots & ‘LIBERATES’ 5 Ukrainian Towns

In a stunning escalation of the Ukraine conflict, Russian forces claim to have liberated five strategic towns in the Sumy and Donetsk regions over the past week. Moscow’s Defense Ministry reports an aggressive series of operations involving hypersonic Kinzhal missiles, precision UAV strikes, and the destruction of four US-made Patriot missile launchers. With over 9,000 Ukrainian casualties allegedly inflicted across multiple battle groups, including thousands in Donetsk, the battlefield narrative is shifting dramatically. Russian forces also destroyed dozens of depots, radars, and artillery systems. The Black Sea saw naval drone threats neutralized, while Russian air defenses intercepted more than 2,000 Ukrainian UAVs. As Kyiv reels from the latest offensive and Western equipment losses mount, questions grow around NATO's next move and Ukraine’s capacity to hold the front. #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraine #PatriotMissile #HypersonicMissiles #Kinzhal #Sumy #Donetsk #Battlefield #MilitaryUpdate #UkraineCrisis #RussianArmy #WarNews #BreakingNews #UkrainianForces #Putin #USWeapons #BlackSea #NavalDrones #DroneWar #Geopolitics Also Read India Indicates Conditional Approach to Reviving Russia-India-China RIC Framework :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-non-committal-on-revival-of-ric-framework-011-7804519.html?ref=DMDesc Can You Hit Moscow?

Ukraine’s Most DEADLY Response After Failed Peace Talks | Strikes Sochi Killing 1 Civilian & Hits…

In a dramatic escalation, Ukraine launched a wave of drone strikes on southern Russia, targeting Sochi — the famed Black Sea resort city — and its nearby Sirius technological and athletic hub. At least one woman was killed and another seriously injured when drone debris fell in Sochi’s central streets. Meanwhile, another UAV slammed into an oil terminal in Sirius, triggering emergency evacuations of students and tourists. Local sources described scenes of chaos, with air raid sirens blaring and as many as 20 explosions echoing across the city. This latest strike comes on the heels of Russia and Ukraine's third round of peace talks in Istanbul, which failed to secure a ceasefire. Moscow’s proposal for brief humanitarian truces and a major POW exchange involving 1,200 prisoners each was met with skepticism from Kyiv. Tensions remain sky-high as drone warfare escalates far from the battlefield, threatening Russian civilians and infrastructure. #UkraineRussiaWar #SochiAttack #UkraineDrones #BlackSeaStrike #DroneWarfare #SochiExplosion #RussiaUnderAttack #SiriusHub #CiviliansTargeted #RussiaUkraineConflict #PeaceTalksFail #PutinZelensky #IstanbulTalks #UkraineStrikesBack #OilTerminalHit #EvacuationsInSochi #AirRaidSirens #RussiaWarNews #ExplosionsInSochi #GeopoliticalTensions ~HT.318~ED.102~GR.122~
