‘He’s a MURDERER....’ Zelensky BLASTS Trump In A FIERY Response To His ‘Kid’s Brawl’ Comment [Video]

‘He’s a MURDERER....’ Zelensky BLASTS Trump In A FIERY Response To His ‘Kid’s Brawl’ Comment

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky tore into Donald Trump’s latest analogy calling the Russia-Ukraine war “a fight between two kids.” Rejecting the playground comparison, Zelensky thundered, “Putin didn’t come to play—he came to Kill children.” The chilling rebuttal came as global leaders urged U.S. action. Trump, however, signaled a hands-off stance, drawing criticism. The Kremlin labeled the war existential. With tensions high, Zelensky’s emotional retort reframes the war as a deadly invasion — not a childish scuffle — and challenges the West’s moral responsibility to act. #zelensky #trumpcomment #putinwar #ukrainewar #playgroundanalogy #russiaukraineconflict #trumpputin #ukraineunderattack #zelenskyresponds #putinismurderer #whitehouseremark #globalleadership #kremlinstatement #usforeignpolicy #handsandoffapproach #merzstatement #warcommentbacklash #politicalrhetoric #ukrainecrisis #childrenskilled Also Read Trump vs Musk: Billionaire Battle Turns Ugly With Epstein Taunt, SpaceX Heat :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-vs-musk-billionaire-battle-turns-ugly-with-epstein-taunt-spacex-heat-4173783.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 Trump Announces Travel Ban Affecting 12 Countries, Set To Go Into Effect Monday :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-announces-travel-ban-affecting-12-countries-set-to-go-into-effect-monday-4172715.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.346~HT.336~

“Handed Putin Reason to Bomb”:Trump slams Ukraine after Russia's Deadly Attack Over Nuclear Airbases [Video]

“Handed Putin Reason to Bomb”:Trump slams Ukraine after Russia's Deadly Attack Over Nuclear Airbases

A deadly new chapter in the Ukraine-Russia war is unfolding. After Ukraine launched strikes on Russian nuclear bases, President Vladimir Putin vowed swift retaliation. The Kremlin has already responded with missile and drone attacks on Ukrainian targets, killing civilians and escalating the war dramatically. In a stunning statement, U.S. President Donald Trump blamed Ukraine for provoking Moscow, saying Zelensky "gave Putin a reason to strike." Trump also questioned the reliability of American intelligence, suggesting he's being fed a filtered version of the truth. As Operation Spiderweb intensifies and diplomatic channels break down, fears of a full-scale East-West confrontation are growing. Who’s really in control—and what comes next? #UkraineWar #Putin #Trump #RussiaUkraine #Zelensky #WorldWar3 #Geopolitics #NuclearTensions #OperationSpiderweb #USPolitics #MissileStrikes #BreakingNews #GazaWar #NATO #ChinaUS ~HT.410~

“The Best Time To Strike Ukraine…” Putin’s Reaction To Trump-Musk Fall-Out Shocks World | Russia-U.S [Video]

“The Best Time To Strike Ukraine…” Putin’s Reaction To Trump-Musk Fall-Out Shocks World | Russia-U.S

As the Trump–Musk feud dominates global headlines, Moscow is watching with popcorn in hand. Russian leaders, from ex-presidents to space chiefs, are trolling both men with job offers, sarcastic peace talks, and tech freedom promises. Elon Musk was invited to move his ventures to Russia, while Trump’s drama was dismissed as typical American chaos. Kremlin figures say the distraction benefits Russia, with one nationalist even calling it “the best time to strike Ukraine.” This bizarre turn of geopolitics is half mockery, half opportunity—for Russia, it’s a win either way. #ElonMusk #Trump #TrumpVsMusk #Russia #Kremlin #Starlink #Putin #Medvedev #Rogozin #Dmitriev #MargaritaSimonyan #TrumpFeud #USPolitics #RussiaReaction #MuskRussia #SpaceX #USRussiaTensions #TrumpMuskClash #UkraineWar #Geopolitics Also Read Trump vs Musk: Billionaire Battle Turns Ugly With Epstein Taunt, SpaceX Heat :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-vs-musk-billionaire-battle-turns-ugly-with-epstein-taunt-spacex-heat-4173783.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 Trump Announces Travel Ban Affecting 12 Countries, Set To Go Into Effect Monday :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-announces-travel-ban-affecting-12-countries-set-to-go-into-effect-monday-4172715.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.125~

India Sends CHILLING Message To Turkey | Expects Push On Pakistan To End Cross-Border Terrorism

In a pointed diplomatic move, India has sent a strong message to Turkey, stating it expects Ankara to urge Pakistan to end cross-border terrorism. The statement reflects India’s frustration with Pakistan’s repeated violations and its expectation that global powers, including Turkey, hold Islamabad accountable. This bold message comes amid ongoing geopolitical shifts, underlining India’s firm foreign policy stance. It also signals New Delhi’s intent to challenge narratives that ignore the impact of terrorism on regional stability and security, particularly when perpetuated from across the border by state-backed actors. #IndiaTurkeyTies #IndiaPakistan #CrossBorderTerrorism #MEAIndia #BreakingNews #IndiaForeignPolicy #ModiGovt #TerrorismAlert #TurkeyNews #GeopoliticsIndia #SouthAsiaNews #TurkeyIndiaRelations #IndiaStrongMessage #PakistanTerrorism #GlobalDiplomacy #IndiaSecurity #TurkishPolitics #ModiMessage #NationalSecurityIndia #IndiaNews Also Read India Slams Turkey For Backing Pak, Urges Action Against Cross-Border Terrorism: 'Relations Are Built On...' :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-slams-turkey-for-backing-pak-urges-action-against-cross-border-terrorism-relations-are-buil-4160853.html?ref=DMDesc Bengaluru’s Wholesale Cloth Merchants Halt Imports from Turkey, Azerbaijan Amid National Outrage :: https://www.oneindia.com/bengaluru/bengaluru-s-wholesale-cloth-merchants-halt-imports-from-turkey-azerbaijan-amid-national-outrage-4156025.html?ref=DMDesc India Revokes Security Clearance Of Turkish Aviation Firm Celebi Amid Row Over Ankara’s Support To Pakistan :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-revokes-security-clearance-of-turkish-aviation-firm-celebi-amid-row-over-ankara-s-support-to-p-4154367.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.420~

Ukraine REFUSES To Accept Fallen Ukrainian Troops At Exchange Site | Russia Accuses Kiev of Hiding….

Russia has published the names of 97 fallen Ukrainian soldiers after Kiev allegedly refused to receive over 6,000 bodies returned in a humanitarian gesture. The move comes after talks in Istanbul, where Russia also offered a large prisoner exchange. Officials accuse Ukraine of hiding military losses to avoid compensation. Kiev denies delaying the process but hasn’t confirmed a new timeline. Governor Balitsky and other Russian negotiators have called it a calculated cover-up, further fueling tensions as families remain in the dark about their loved ones' fate. #RussiaUkraineWar #Ukraine #Russia #WarCasualties #Kiev #Zaporozhye #EvgenyBalitsky #POWExchange #FallenSoldiers #IstanbulTalks #MilitaryLosses #HumanitarianCrisis #UkraineConflict #WoundedSoldiers #BodyRepatriation #UkraineRefusesBodies #WesternArms #PrisonerSwap #UkraineMilitary #Moscow Also Read 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 Ukrainian Ex-DJ Named As Alleged 'Mastermind' Of Russia Airbase Drone Attacks :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/ukrainian-ex-dj-named-as-alleged-mastermind-of-russia-airbase-drone-attacks-4171927.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 ~ED.102~HT.336~GR.125~
