Game Over For Ukraine? Trump Plans U.S’ Official Exit From Russia-Ukraine War | Big Win For Putin

At a press conference, Donald Trump fiercely distanced himself from the Ukraine war, calling it “Biden’s war” and vowing to end it. Responding to a shocking question about Ukraine conscripting elderly men and individuals with Down Syndrome to fight on the front lines, Trump said, “I haven’t heard that... but I’m here to get us out.” He claimed the war would’ve never happened under his leadership and criticized the Biden administration’s continued funding of Ukraine’s military, which he described as “scraping the bottom of the barrel.” Trump touted his record of stopping five wars and promised Ukraine would be the sixth. He also referenced diffusing tensions between India and Pakistan “within days.” The remarks have reignited debates over American military aid and raised concerns about ethical limits in wartime conscription. Trump’s statement drew applause from some, shock from others, and further polarized an already divisive foreign policy debate. #TrumpUkraine #BidenWar #UkraineDraft #ElderlyConscripts #TrumpSpeech #UkraineCrisis #MAGA2024 #TrumpVsBiden #USForeignPolicy #UkraineWar2025 #DownSyndromeSoldier #TrumpPressConference #TrumpSlamsBiden #UkraineAidDebate #NoMoreWars #TrumpOnWar #BidenUkraineConflict #UkraineFrontlineDraft #TrumpCampaignSpeech #UkraineForcedDraft ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.122~

Russian Troops Shoot Down Ukrainian Drones With Assault Rifles | 6 UAVs Destroyed Near Freight Train

In a dramatic display of low-tech defense, Russian troops reportedly shot down six Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) using assault rifles during an attempted drone attack on a freight train in the Zaporozhye Region. The encounter, captured on video and shared by RT, shows soldiers firing directly at incoming drones — destroying them mid-air before they could reach their target. The freight train was secured, and no damage was reported. According to Russian sources, this marks an increase in Ukraine’s drone attacks on civilian infrastructure — a trend Moscow says it will counter with any means necessary. #RussiaUkraineWar #DroneWarfare #RussianMilitary #UAVAttack #AssaultRifleDefense #UkraineConflict #Zaporozhye #RTNews #DroneStrike #FreightTrainAttack #GunfireVsDrones #MilitaryFootage #WarInUkraine #BreakingNews Also Read India, China, Brazil Could Be Hit Hard For Trading With Russia: NATO Secretary Rutte :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/india-china-brazil-could-be-hit-hard-for-trading-with-russia-nato-secretary-rutte-7802537.html?ref=DMDesc Ukraine Confirms F-16 Loss, Pilot Killed While Intercepting Russian Missiles And Drones :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/ukraine-confirms-f-16-loss-pilot-killed-while-intercepting-russian-missiles-and-drones-7786265.html?ref=DMDesc Russia Unleashes Record Overnight Drone Attack On Ukraine Amid Peace Talks :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-unleashes-record-overnight-drone-attack-on-ukraine-amid-peace-talks-4176255.html?ref=DMDesc

Former Israeli PM Bennett Slams Netanyahu For Global Backlash, Says Israel Now Seen As Burden In US

Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has launched a scathing attack on Benjamin Netanyahu, warning that Israel’s global reputation is at its lowest point in history. In a viral X post, Bennett claimed Israel is now viewed as a “leper state” even by former allies in the United States. He accused Netanyahu and his far-right cabinet of fueling antisemitism, orchestrating a starvation campaign in Gaza, and turning global public opinion—especially in the U.S.—against Israel. Bennett further warned that Israel’s military is now at risk of international prosecution due to inflammatory remarks by extremist ministers about Gaza and illegal settlements. According to a Gallup poll, 6 in 10 Americans now disapprove of Israel’s actions in Gaza. Bennett also alleged that Netanyahu is using the war to cling to power, prioritizing propaganda over peace. With global recognition of Palestine growing, Bennett’s warning signals deepening international isolation for Israel. #IsraelGazaWar #NaftaliBennett #Netanyahu #IsraelIsolation #GazaCrisis #USIsraelTensions #WarCrimes #MiddleEast #GenocideInGaza #IsraeliPolitics #GallupPoll #PalestineRecognition #BennettVsNetanyahu #Antisemitism #IsraeliWarCabinet #FarRightIsrael #LeperState #UNCondemnation #IDFProsecution #GlobalBacklash

Russian Diplomats Attacked in West Bank: Moscow Blasts Israel as IDF Watches in Silence

A serious diplomatic row has erupted after a Russian diplomatic vehicle was attacked by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank near the illegal outpost of Giv’at Asaf. According to Russia’s Foreign Ministry, the attackers shouted threats and damaged the vehicle while Israeli soldiers stood by without intervening. Moscow has condemned the incident as a flagrant violation of the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations and filed a formal protest with Israel. As tensions soar amid the ongoing Gaza war — which has already claimed over 59,000 Palestinian lives — the Kremlin has doubled down on its support for a two-state solution and accused Israel of undermining basic diplomatic norms. This incident adds fuel to a growing fire of international criticism over Israel’s conduct in the region. #Russia #Israel #WestBank #DiplomaticIncident #GazaCrisis #ViennaConvention #MoscowVsTelAviv #GivatAsaf #Zakaharova #IDF #RussianDiplomats #Palestine #MiddleEastTensions #BreakingNews #InternationalLaw #GazaWar #TwoStateSolution Also Read Russian President Vladimir Putin Calls PM Modi To Condemn Pahalgam Terror Attack :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russian-president-vladimir-putin-calls-pm-modi-to-condemn-pahalgam-terror-attack-4143787.html?ref=DMDesc Zelensky Awaits U.S. Response After Putin Rejects Unconditional Ceasefire Proposal :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/zelensky-awaits-u-s-response-after-putin-rejects-unconditional-ceasefire-proposal-4116597.html?ref=DMDesc Preparations Underway For Vladimir Putin’s India Visit: Russian FM Lavrov :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/preparations-underway-for-vladimir-putin-s-india-visit-russian-fm-lavrov-4106621.html?ref=DMDesc

Trump Plots U.S Takeover of Gaza Aid Amid Israeli Failure | “Babies Must Not Starve” - White House

U.S. President Donald Trump is reportedly preparing to take unprecedented action by leading America into direct control of humanitarian aid operations in Gaza. With starvation and famine gripping the region, Axios reports that Trump met privately with envoy Steve Witkoff after his return from Israel and Gaza, where he expressed outrage over Israel’s handling of the crisis. “He doesn’t want babies to starve,” a U.S. official said, adding that Trump is now fixated on the humanitarian collapse. Despite his reluctance, Trump is positioning the U.S. to take the lead—while pressuring Europe and Arab allies to contribute. With global pressure mounting and Gaza on the brink, this could mark a dramatic shift in America's involvement in the region. #Trump #GazaCrisis #HumanitarianAid #IsraelGazaWar #GazaFamine #TrumpNews #MiddleEast #USForeignPolicy #GlobalCrisis #BreakingNews #SteveWitkoff #TrumpAdministration #WestBank #Palestine #GazaAid ~PR.274~ED.346~GR.122~ED.346~

Nikki Haley SLAMS Trump tariff threat to India over Russia| ‘Don't burn ties & give China free pass'

Nikki Haley has sharply criticized Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs on Indian goods over New Delhi’s Russian oil purchases, calling the move "strategically dangerous."

India Hits China Where It Hurts Most, Teams Up With China’s Top Rival As Beijing Fumes | Details

In a bold diplomatic and military move, India hosted Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. with full state honours—while simultaneously dispatching warships for joint patrols in the South China Sea. INS Delhi, INS Shakti and INS Kiltan sailed alongside Philippine vessels inside Manila’s exclusive economic zone, triggering a subtle yet unmistakable warning to China. The Indian Ministry of External Affairs reaffirmed support for freedom of navigation, calling the waters part of the “global commons.” The joint drill coincided with Marcos’ five-day India visit, where the two nations signed a landmark Strategic Partnership agreement to boost defence, maritime cooperation, disaster relief and cyber security. While India didn’t name China, Beijing’s rebuke of “third-party interference” left little ambiguity. The coordinated political hospitality and military manoeuvres signal India’s rising Indo-Pacific assertiveness and a strategic alignment with one of China’s fiercest regional rivals—firmly placing New Delhi in the emerging anti-China security web across the Indo-Pacific. #IndiaPhilippines #SouthChinaSea #ModiMarcos #IndiaChinaTensions #IndoPacific #MaritimeSecurity #PhilippinesNavy #IndianNavy #FreedomOfNavigation #UNCLOS1982 #StrategicPartnership #IndiaDefence #ChinaPhilippinesTension #BeijingWarning #IndoPacificSecurity #IndiaWarships #ModiForeignPolicy #MarcosInIndia #GeopoliticsAsia #IndiaChinaRivalry

India Breaks Silence On Trump’s Tariff Threat Amid Strategic Talks With Philippines On Trade

India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has finally addressed the rising buzz around Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs on Indian exports. During a high-level media briefing that followed Prime Minister Modi’s meeting with Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., the MEA clarified that no direct discussion took place on Trump’s recent tariff threats. Instead, the focus was on strengthening India-Philippines trade ties, expanding product diversity, and cooperation in space technology. India showcased its cost-effective space capabilities, with both countries expressing interest in launching and developing satellites together. The Philippines also supported India’s call to expedite the ITAGA trade review. While the Trump tariffs remain unaddressed formally, India is clearly moving to diversify partnerships and preempt economic turbulence. The strategic dialogue underlined India’s growing regional influence, especially in light of evolving Indo-Pacific geopolitics and rising trade protectionism from Washington. #IndiaUSRelations #TrumpTariffThreat #MEAStatement #IndiaPhilippines #SpaceCooperation #TradeTalks #ModiMarcosMeeting #IndianExports #IndoPacific #MEAResponse #DonaldTrumpNews #IndiaTradeStrategy #TariffNews #USIndiaTensions #PhilippinesIndiaTies #ITAGAReview #IndianSpaceProgram #ForeignPolicyIndia #TrumpIndia #EconomicDiplomacy

BREAKING|China On High Alert After India-Philippines Joint Patrol Escalates South China Sea Tensions

China has issued a stark warning after the Philippines and India completed their first-ever joint naval patrol in the disputed South China Sea, reporting “shadowing” vessels and prompting Beijing’s PLA Southern Theatre Command to declare its forces on high alert. The maritime cooperative activity—as three Indian warships operated alongside Philippine frigates near Scarborough Shoal—coincided with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s state visit to New Delhi, signaling a deeper strategic bond between the two democracies. China condemned the move, accusing Manila of “rallying external powers” and asserting that such so-called joint patrols undermine regional peace. Analysts warn India's involvement could reshape the Quad’s maritime posture and provoke tougher Chinese responses. Beijing insists disputes must be settled directly and vows to safeguard its territorial sovereignty. As $3 trillion in trade flows through these waters annually, this flashpoint could mark a significant shift in Indo-Pacific security dynamics. #SouthChinaSea #IndiaPhilippines #PLAAlert #QuadAllies #ScarboroughShoal #MaritimePatrol #BeijingWarning #IndoPacificSecurity #ChinaPhilippines #NavalDrills #StrategicPartnership #HighAlertPLA #Brawner #MarcosInIndia #INSDelhi #NavalShadowing #RegionalTension #PeaceThroughStrength #ChinaSovereignty #TradeRoutes ~ED.194~HT.408~
