'Come To Kyiv': Zelensky TORCHES Putin’s Moscow Invite, Won’t Visit Russia Amid Attacks On Ukraine

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has bluntly rejected Vladimir Putin’s invitation to Moscow for peace talks, calling Russia’s capital a “terrorist” city. Speaking to ABC News, Zelensky said he could not travel while Ukraine remained under relentless missile and drone attacks. Putin claimed security would be guaranteed, but Zelensky insisted discussions must happen in Kyiv. While Trump has attempted to broker talks between both leaders, and Putin signaled openness to direct dialogue, the Kremlin maintains the timing is “not ready.” Hopes for peace remain distant amid ongoing war. #ZelenskyVsPutin #UkraineRussiaWar #KyivNotMoscow #ZelenskyRejectsPutin #UkraineConflict #RussiaUkraineTensions #PeaceTalksStalemate #ZelenskyMessage #PutinInvite #UkraineWarUpdate #RussiaUkraineNews #BreakingNews #UkraineFrontlines #ZelenskySpeech #PutinVsZelensky #TrumpPeacePlan #UkraineMissileAttacks #DroneWarUkraine #UkraineCrisis #UkrainePeaceTalks #MoscowInvitation #UkraineWarBreaking #RussiaUkrainePeace #KyivUnderFire #ZelenskyRefuses #PutinSecurityGuarantee #UkraineWar2025 #UkraineResistance #NoTalksInMoscow #KyivStrong Also Read Modi–Putin Bond On Display With Shared Car Ride After SCO Summit :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/modi-putin-bond-on-display-with-shared-car-ride-after-sco-summit-7847359.html?ref=DMDesc Russia, China Oppose 'Discriminatory Sanctions' Against BRICS Countries: Putin :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-china-oppose-discriminatory-sanctions-against-brics-countries-putin-7846217.html?ref=DMDesc Melania Trump Urges Vladimir Putin to Consider Children in Ukraine Conflict :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/melania-trump-letter-to-putin-children-peace-ukraine-011-7832049.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.103~

Though Washington is not a member, US SCO Relations continue to shape discussions, from trade tariffs to military standoffs. For India, the 50% US tariff and criticism over Russian oil imports highlight the tension in US SCO Relations. For China, America’s containment strategies and Indo-Pacific moves cast a shadow over regional cooperation.

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~

India REJECTS U.S. F-35 Deal After Trump’s 25% Tariffs | Russia’s Su-57 Emerges As New Jet Of Choice

India has officially declined the U.S. offer to purchase F-35 fighter jets, citing strategic constraints and Trump’s new 25% tariffs on Indian goods. Instead, Russia’s Su-57 has emerged as the top contender, with Moscow offering co-production and Make-in-India support. India's Air Force modernization push comes amid rising threats from China and Pakistan’s growing fighter fleets. The F-35's inability to integrate with non-NATO weapons and its $100M+ price tag made it less viable for India. The shift signals New Delhi's pivot in defense policy amid strained U.S.-India trade ties. #IndiaDefense #F35 #Su57 #TrumpTariffs #IndoUSRelations #IndiaRussia #MakeInIndia #IAF #FighterJetDeal #DefenseNews #Modi #MilitaryShift #USIndiaTies #DefenseTrade #TariffPolitics #StealthJets #IndiaRejectsF35 #RussianJets #Su57India #GlobalDefense #IndoPacific #StrategicAutonomy #TradeVsDefense #HAL #Nashik #ASTRA #RUDRAM #PakistanThreat #ChinaThreat #IAFModernization #Geopolitics Also Read Gautam Gambhir's Reaction On Mohammed Siraj's Fielding Blunder Goes Viral :: https://www.oneindia.com/sports/cricket/gautam-gambhir-reaction-on-mohammed-sirajs-fielding-blunder-goes-viral-011-7819745.html?ref=DMDesc Sara Tendulkar To Sara Ali Khan: List Of Shubman Gill 's Rumoured Connections :: https://www.oneindia.com/sports/cricket/sara-tendulkar-to-sara-ali-khan-list-of-shubman-gill-s-rumoured-connections-011-7819699.html?ref=DMDesc 8th Pay Commission Implementation Expected By Late 2026 Or Early 2027 With Salary Revisions :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/8th-pay-commission-implementation-timeline-and-expected-salary-revisions-011-7819665.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.408~

India’s Firm Reply To Trump’s Tariffs | Snubs F-35 Deal With U.S | Backs Russian Ties Over U.S Offer

India has reportedly declined a U.S. offer to buy F-35 stealth fighter jets, according to Bloomberg. The offer was made by President Trump during Prime Minister Modi’s visit to Washington in February. Instead of purchasing American jets, India is prioritizing joint defense manufacturing initiatives and has shown greater interest in the Russian Su-57, especially after its debut at Aero India. The Indian Ministry of External Affairs downplayed Bloomberg’s report, confirming no formal talks on the F-35 have taken place yet. Meanwhile, the U.S. has slapped 25% tariffs on Indian imports due to a failed trade deal, escalating tensions. Trump also announced India would face a penalty over its continued defense ties with Russia. This deepening rift could impact U.S.-India defense cooperation and reshape future arms procurement. #IndiaUSRelations #F35Deal #ModiTrump #IndiaDefense #FighterJetDeal #USIndiaTensions #Su57India #DefenseNews #Tariffs #USIndiaTrade #TrumpModi #Geopolitics #MilitarySale #IndiaRejectsF35 #BloombergReport #RussianDefense #TrumpSanctions #ModiWashington #IndiaForeignPolicy #AeroIndia ~ED.194~HT.408~GR.124~
