$825 Million Arms For Ukraine! Trump’s BIGGEST Revenge Against Russia Yet? | Ukraine War Latest [Video]

$825 Million Arms For Ukraine! Trump’s BIGGEST Revenge Against Russia Yet? | Ukraine War Latest

The United States has approved an $825 million arms package for Ukraine, marking its hardest response yet to Russia’s brutal strike on Kyiv that killed 19 civilians, including four children. The deal, announced by the Trump administration, includes 3,350 extended-range missiles, GPS systems, spare parts, and training support. Funding will be shared between NATO allies Denmark, the Netherlands, and Norway, alongside U.S. foreign financing. Officials declared the sale a vital step to strengthen Ukraine’s defenses while signaling Washington’s resolve against Moscow’s escalating war. The move follows two July deals totaling over $650 million in aid, covering armored vehicles, air defense, and artillery support. With peace talks collapsing after Trump’s Alaska meeting with Putin, this deal underscores a shift from negotiations to hard power. Ukrainian President Zelensky warned that Putin “breaks every promise” and only responds with missiles, as the U.S. arms Kyiv for a long and dangerous war. #Trump #Ukraine #Putin #KyivAttack #ArmsSale #UkraineWar #Russia #Missiles #Zelensky #NATO #DefenseDeal #WarEscalation #EuropeCrisis #MilitaryAid #BreakingNews #Geopolitics #UkraineRussiaWar #GlobalConflict #PeaceTalksCollapse #WeaponsSale ~HT.318~ED.194~

‘No Summit, Only Blood…’ German Chancellor Merz DROPS Bombshell On Putin-Zelensky Summit [Video]

‘No Summit, Only Blood…’ German Chancellor Merz DROPS Bombshell On Putin-Zelensky Summit

The prospect of a Putin-Zelensky peace summit has collapsed into chaos following Russia’s devastating strike on Kyiv that killed 19 people, including four children. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky declared there would be “no summit, only blood, missiles and broken promises,” while Ukraine retaliated with drone attacks on Russian oil refineries. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz bluntly confirmed there would “obviously” be no summit despite Donald Trump’s dramatic push after his Alaska meeting with Putin. Moscow insists talks can only happen after “tangible progress,” something Kyiv and NATO allies reject outright. The collapse highlights the crumbling state of diplomacy in Europe, where leaders now openly prepare for wider war. Trump had hoped to position himself as a peacemaker, but European officials dismissed his roadmap as unrealistic. With NATO deployments looming and Russia warning of escalation, the world faces a dangerous new turning point. #Putin #Zelensky #Trump #UkraineWar #RussiaStrike #KyivAttack #PeaceSummit #DroneStrikes #NATO #Moscow #EuropeCrisis #Geopolitics #Merz #Macron #Lavrov #UkraineRussiaWar #BreakingNews #GlobalConflict #Missiles #WorldNews ~HT.178~GR.122~ED.194~

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 [Video]

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

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

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~
