‘We Seek No Land’: Lavrov’s BIG Claim On Russia’s Real Goal | Mocks Ukraine's Independence Day

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, in a striking NBC interview, claimed Moscow has no interest in seizing Ukrainian land, stressing Russia already holds the world’s largest territory. He branded Kyiv’s government a “Nazi regime” and argued Ukraine must allow regions that voted to join Russia in 2014 and 2022 to “let people go.” Lavrov framed Moscow’s war aims as protecting ethnic Russians and eliminating security threats, even as Ukraine marked Independence Day with Western allies vowing continued support against Russian aggression. #Lavrov #Russia #UkraineWar #Moscow #Ukraine #Kyiv #Putin #NBCInterview #RussianPolitics #UkraineIndependenceDay #RussiaUkraineConflict #ForeignPolicy #Diplomacy #GlobalNews #BreakingNews #Geopolitics #RussiaClaims #UkraineCrisis #EastEurope #RussianNarrative #InternationalRelations #ConflictNews #UkraineSupport #WesternAllies #RussiaVsUkraine #LavrovInterview #Kremlin #UkraineUpdate #LandSwap #WarInEurope Also Read Jaishankar Meets Putin in Moscow Amid Global Power Shifts :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/external-affairs-minister-s-jaishankar-holds-meeting-with-russian-president-putin-in-moscow-011-7836759.html?ref=DMDesc Amid Trump Tariffs, Jaishankar Urges Stronger India-Russia Trade :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/amid-trump-tariffs-jaishankar-urges-stronger-india-russia-trade-011-7836083.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Assures That US Troops Will Not Be Deployed to Defend Ukraine Amid Ongoing Conflict :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-assures-us-troops-wont-defend-ukraine-011-7834921.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~

Ukraine's WAR Warning To Belarus As Russia Shows Off Nuclear-Like Oreshnik Missile Near Kyiv Border

Ukraine has issued a stark warning to Belarus amid fears that upcoming Russia-Belarus joint military drills could escalate the war. The Zapad-2025 exercises, set for September, will feature drones, electronic warfare, and Russia’s Oreshnik hypersonic missile—previously compared to a low-yield nuclear strike. Kyiv fears Belarus may provide direct support to Russia, with the border just 100 km away. NATO has responded with 30,000 troops deployed near Poland’s border, while Moscow accuses NATO of using the drills as a pretext for escalation. #UkraineWar #Belarus #Russia #Zapad2025 #MilitaryDrills #NATO #Kyiv #Putin #Lukashenko #OreshnikMissile #NuclearThreat #EasternEurope #UkraineWarning #GlobalSecurity #RussiaBelarus #WarTensions #Geopolitics #UkraineConflict #RussiaUkraineWar #NATOForces #BelarusBorder #WarEscalation #RussiaNATO #EuropeTensions #DefenseNews #UkraineCrisis #BreakingNews #MilitaryAlert #WorldNews #UkraineVsBelarus Also Read Jaishankar Meets Putin in Moscow Amid Global Power Shifts :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/external-affairs-minister-s-jaishankar-holds-meeting-with-russian-president-putin-in-moscow-011-7836759.html?ref=DMDesc Amid Trump Tariffs, Jaishankar Urges Stronger India-Russia Trade :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/amid-trump-tariffs-jaishankar-urges-stronger-india-russia-trade-011-7836083.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Assures That US Troops Will Not Be Deployed to Defend Ukraine Amid Ongoing Conflict :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-assures-us-troops-wont-defend-ukraine-011-7834921.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~

Ukrainian HIMARS Destroy Russia | Kills Russian Colonel Sergei Ilyin And 21 Others | Ukraine War

Russia has confirmed the burial of Colonel Sergei Ilyin, commander of the 155th Marine Brigade, days after reports emerged of a Ukrainian HIMARS strike that allegedly killed him along with 21 others at a command post in Kursk Oblast. Independent outlet Astra cites officials in Chuvash Republic, although the cause of death remains undisclosed. The same attack reportedly killed Major General Mikhail Gudkov. The 155th Brigade has long been accused of war crimes in Bucha and Irpin, heightening the symbolic weight of Ilyin’s death. Ukrainian officials have not officially commented. Kyiv’s broader cross-border campaign in Kursk Oblast, launched in 2024, has claimed tens of thousands of Russian casualties. Russian forces, with help from North Korea, reclaimed much of the territory earlier this year. The Kremlin remains silent on the incident, even as its high-ranking military leadership continues to be decimated by precision Ukrainian strikes. #UkraineWar #KurskStrike #RussiaUkraine #HIMARS #155thBrigade #Putin #UkrainianForces #WarCrimes #ColonelIlyin #MajorGeneralGudkov #UkraineCounteroffensive #RussiaCasualties #Kyiv #RussiaMilitaryLosses #UkraineVictory #NorthKoreaInWar #RussiaStrike #FrontlineDeaths #WarUpdate #UkraineNews ~ED.194~HT.408~
