Zelensky NOT INVITED to Trump-Putin Alaska Peace Talks? Ukraine LEFT OUT, Russia Gains Upper Hand [Video]

Zelensky NOT INVITED to Trump-Putin Alaska Peace Talks? Ukraine LEFT OUT, Russia Gains Upper Hand

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has reportedly not been invited to the upcoming Trump–Putin peace summit in Alaska on August 15, raising concerns of a diplomatic sidelining. White House sources say the meeting will focus on U.S.–Russia dialogue at Moscow’s request. While Trump has floated territorial swaps as a path to peace, Zelensky rejects the idea, citing constitutional limits. The Kremlin insists talks must address Crimea and four regions annexed in 2022, while Ukraine refuses any concessions, leaving negotiations at an impasse. #TrumpPutin #Zelensky #UkraineWar #PeaceTalks #RussiaUkraine #AlaskaSummit #Trump #Putin #USRussia #UkraineConflict #Crimea #Donetsk #Luhansk #Zaporozhye #Kherson #TerritorialSwaps #UkraineNews #RussiaNews #WarNegotiations #BreakingNews #Kremlin #Diplomacy #UkraineRussiaWar #Moscow #Washington #Geopolitics #PeaceSummit #UkraineSidelined #TrumpNews #PutinNews #GlobalPolitics Also Read Did India’s S-400 Strike On Pakistan’s F-16s Trigger Trump’s Tariff War On New Delhi?

Trump’s Gaza Ceasefire Failure EXPOSED! Official Resigns blaming Trump for FAILED Talks with Hamas

Bishara Bahbah, a key figure in former President Trump’s Gaza negotiating team, has resigned, accusing the U.S. and Israel of sabotaging near-successful ceasefire talks with Hamas. Bahbah claims negotiators in Qatar were ordered home by U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff just as Hamas was close to accepting deal terms. He blames Prime Minister Netanyahu’s hardline Gaza takeover plan for collapsing peace efforts. A former “Arab Americans for Trump” leader, Bahbah vows to continue independent mediation as Israel advances toward full control of Gaza. #BisharaBahbah #GazaCeasefire #Trump #Netanyahu #Hamas #MiddleEast #CeasefireTalks #GazaWar #PeaceNegotiations #BreakingNews #Israel #USPolitics #GazaCrisis #USIsraelRelations #HamasTalks #TruceCollapse #QatarTalks #MiddleEastPeace #DiplomacyFail #TrumpTeam #GazaTakeover #HardlinePolicy #GazaConflict #CeasefireEfforts #USEnvoy #PoliticalDrama #HamasDeal #IsraelNews #TrumpNegotiator #GlobalPolitics Also Read Did India’s S-400 Strike On Pakistan’s F-16s Trigger Trump’s Tariff War On New Delhi?

Kremlin’s Most SHOCKING Move Yet? Backs France’s Recognition of Palestine |Defies Trump & Netanyahu [Video]

Kremlin’s Most SHOCKING Move Yet? Backs France’s Recognition of Palestine |Defies Trump & Netanyahu

In a dramatic global twist, Russia has declared full support for Palestinian statehood, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov reaffirming Moscow's long-standing commitment to a two-state solution. The statement comes on the heels of French President Emmanuel Macron’s bombshell announcement that France will recognize Palestine at the upcoming UN General Assembly in September — making it the first major Western power to do so. Russia, which adopted Palestine’s 1988 declaration of independence under the USSR, insists that peace in the Middle East hinges on UN Security Council resolutions and the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state. Macron’s decision has enraged Israel and the U.S., with Netanyahu calling it a “reward for terror” and Secretary of State Marco Rubio labeling it “reckless.” Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia and Spain have praised the move, calling it “historic.” Over 59,000 Palestinians have died in the ongoing Gaza war, intensifying the global demand for Palestinian recognition. #Russia #Palestine #Israel #France #Macron #UN #TwoStateSolution #MiddleEastConflict #Kremlin #PalestinianStatehood #GazaWar #Netanyahu #MarcoRubio #USIsraelTensions #UNRecognition #WorldNews #GlobalDiplomacy #EastJerusalem #WestBank #PalestineRecognition

Russia Gas Explosion Caught On Cam | Explosion Rips Saratov’s High-Rise | Kills 3 Including Child

A powerful gas explosion ripped through a 10-story apartment building in Russia’s southern city of Saratov, killing at least three people — including a child — and leaving devastation in its wake. The blast occurred early Friday in the Leninsky district, with part of the building’s upper floors torn off, exposing the wreckage and scattering debris across the ground. Photos from the scene reveal utter destruction: gaping holes in the structure, crumbled walls, and mangled household items. Emergency response teams rushed to the site, and Governor Roman Busargin personally surveyed the damage. While gas explosions in Russia are often linked to Soviet-era infrastructure, this building was relatively modern, built in 2011 and managed by the company Sovezdye+. A criminal probe has been launched into possible safety violations. The tragedy underscores ongoing concerns over residential gas safety and building maintenance across the country. #SaratovExplosion #RussiaBlast #GasExplosion #SaratovNews #BuildingCollapse #RussianEmergency #LeninskyDistrict #ChildKilled #BreakingNews #RussiaDisaster #ApartmentBlast #UrbanTragedy #RussianInfrastructure #Firefighters #EmergencyResponse #GovernorBusargin #BuildingSafety #RussianProbe #DeadlyExplosion #SaratovIncident ~HT.178~GR.125~ED.420~

Russia SCARED As 49 Australian Abrams Tanks ARRIVE in Ukraine | Can $10M Beasts CRUSH Putin’s Army?

Ukraine has received 49 Australian M1A1 Abrams tanks, significantly strengthening its armored fleet against Russian forces. Delayed for months due to U.S. clearance issues, these refurbished Abrams bring advanced firepower, superior Chobham armor, and cutting-edge targeting systems far beyond Russia’s Soviet-era T-72s. Equipped with anti-drone screens and explosive-reactive armor, they enhance survivability against modern battlefield threats. The arrival of these tanks allows Ukraine to replenish losses, support Leopard 2 and Challenger 2 fleets, and regain offensive momentum to break Russian strongholds on the ground. #Ukraine #AbramsTanks #M1A1Abrams #Kyiv #RussiaUkraineWar #AustralianAbrams #WesternTanks #MilitaryAid #UkraineWar #UkraineDefense #ArmoredWarfare #TankBattle #ChobhamArmor #ThermalSights #TankPower #NATOWeapons #UkraineStrong #RussianWar #UkraineUpdate #DefenseNews #MilitaryNews #AbramsVsT72 #KyivOffensive #UkraineFrontline #WarNews #TankFleet #UkraineSupport #UkraineVictory #ModernWarfare #BreakingNews #WesternWeapons Also Read US Will Send Patriot Missiles To Ukraine: Trump Takes U-Turn Over Arm Deliveries To Kyiv :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-will-send-patriot-missiles-to-ukraine-trump-takes-u-turn-over-arm-deliveries-to-kyiv-011-7800325.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Proposes Allowing Ukraine and Russia to Fight Before Seeking Peace :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-ukraine-russia-fight-for-a-while-011-4173761.html?ref=DMDesc Ukraine Hits Russia's Crimea Bridge Using 1,100 Kilograms Of Explosives :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/ukraine-hits-russias-crimea-bridge-using-1-100-kilograms-of-explosives-4171479.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~

Iranian Drones SHOT DOWN by French Rafales | France ADMITS Military Action in Israel-Iran War [Video]

Iranian Drones SHOT DOWN by French Rafales | France ADMITS Military Action in Israel-Iran War

As the Iran-Israel war winds down, France has revealed its covert military role during the conflict. Defense Minister Sébastien Lecornu confirmed that French forces intercepted fewer than ten Iranian drones aimed at Israel before the ceasefire. Using Rafale jets and ground systems, France acted in self-defense to protect troops and regional installations. The revelation underscores limited NATO involvement in defending Israel and highlights the growing threat from Iran’s drone arsenal, which sought to map Israeli air defenses. France's move marks a rare and bold military admission in the Middle East crisis. #France #RafaleJets #IranAttack #TelAvivUnderAttack #IranIsraelConflict #IranStrikesHaifa #HaifaPort #MissileStrike #TelAvivExplosions #IsraelIranWar #IronDome #IDF #MiddleEastCrisis #TehranRetaliation #AyatollahKhamenei #IsraelDefense #TelAvivMissiles #IranMissileStrike #IsraelUnderFire #TelAvivSkyline #MilitaryTensions #IDFHeadquarters #IsraelVsIran #BreakingNews #MissileDefense #IsraelNews #IranNews #WarUpdates #TelAvivAttack #IsraelStrikesIran #IsraelIranWar Also Read From Hanoi With Drama: Did France’s First Lady Just Slap The President? :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/from-hanoi-with-drama-did-france-s-first-lady-just-slap-the-president-4164443.html?ref=DMDesc Rafale Marine Deal: India and France Strengthen Naval Forces with Rs 63,000 Crore Agreement :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/rafale-marine-deal-india-and-france-strengthen-naval-forces-with-rs-63000-crore-agreement-4137163.html?ref=DMDesc India-France $10 Billion Defense Deals: Rafale Jets & Scorpene Submarines On the Horizon :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/india-france-10-billion-defense-deals-rafale-jets-scorpene-submarines-on-the-horizon-4034341.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.420~GR.124~

Saket Gokhale’s ₹50 Lakh Apology EXPOSES Congress Playbook: Lies, Media Uproar… Then Silence [Video]

Saket Gokhale’s ₹50 Lakh Apology EXPOSES Congress Playbook: Lies, Media Uproar… Then Silence

Trinamool Congress MP Saket Gokhale has issued an unconditional public apology and agreed to pay ₹50 lakh in damages after falsely accusing ex-diplomat Lakshmi Murdeshwar Puri of corruption. The Delhi High Court warned of civil detention if he failed to comply. But Gokhale’s apology isn’t an isolated incident — it’s just another example in a long line of opposition leaders making defamatory claims, triggering outrage, and then quietly backtracking when confronted by the courts. From Rahul Gandhi’s RSS allegations to the Rafale lie, from ‘khoon ki dalali’ to defaming NSA Ajit Doval’s son — the pattern is clear: slander first, apologise later. #SaketGokhale #CongressExposed #RahulGandhi #LakshmiPuri #DelhiHighCourt #PoliticalDrama #CongressLies #NewIndia #TruthPrevails #OppositionPolitics #BJPVsCongress Also Read Kamal Haasan Faces Karnataka High Court Reprimand for Not Apologising Over Controversial Remarks :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/kamal-haasan-karnataka-hc-actor-refuses-apologise-011-4171617.html?ref=DMDesc They Gate Crashed!
