Zelensky’s Most Controversial Outfit Yet? Wears Black Vyshyvanka Outfit Ditching Suit | WATCH

On Ukraine’s 2025 Independence Day, President Volodymyr Zelensky made a bold fashion statement that went beyond clothing—it was pure symbolism. Just six days after wearing a formal black suit at the White House under reported pressure from Donald Trump’s team, Zelensky returned home and ditched the Western formality for a striking black vyshyvanka, Ukraine’s traditional embroidered shirt. The black fabric carried deep meaning: mourning the thousands lost in war while showcasing resilience and national pride. For Ukrainians, the vyshyvanka is more than an outfit—it’s a symbol of cultural survival. Zelensky’s decision to abandon suits “too” for his own nation’s day underscored his defiance of external expectations and his loyalty to Ukrainian traditions. It was not just attire, but wartime messaging: Ukraine’s spirit cannot be tailored to foreign demands. #Zelensky #UkraineIndependenceDay #Vyshyvanka #UkraineWar #UkraineRussia #Trump #WhiteHouse #Kyiv #UkraineCulture #UkraineNews #WarSymbolism #UkraineTradition #UkraineResilience #ZelenskyStyle #UkraineHeritage #UkraineConflict #UkrainePresident #UkrainePride #UkraineSolidarity #UkraineFashion ~HT.410~GR.124~

Trump REFUSES to Condemn Putin Even After Russia Strikes US Factory |What Does Putin Have On Trump?

Russia’s missile strike on the U.S.-owned Flex factory in Ukraine was seen as a potential turning point in the war. But instead of lifting the ban on deep Ukrainian strikes inside Russia, President Trump responded with a tweet blaming Biden—without directly condemning Putin. Even after Putin openly rejected Trump’s calls for talks, the U.S. president showed restraint, raising doubts about his approach to Moscow. With Ukraine seeking stronger support and Russia flexing military power, Trump’s silence underscores Putin’s upper hand in diplomacy. #Trump #Putin #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraine #USPolitics #FlexFactory #MissileStrike #Kinzhal #CruiseMissile #Zelensky #WhiteHouse #Biden #TrumpTweet #GlobalConflict #WarNews #Diplomacy #Geopolitics #Russia #Ukraine #PutinPower #TrumpVsPutin #USRussiaRelations #BreakingNews #ForeignPolicy #Washington #Moscow #PeaceTalks #UkraineCrisis #TrumpSpeech #WorldPolitics #MilitaryNews Also Read US President Trump Appoints Close Aide Sergio Gor As India Ambassador :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-trump-appoints-close-aide-sergio-gor-as-india-ambassador-7838355.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Govt Reviews 55 Million US Visa Holders For Possible Deportation :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-govt-reviews-55-million-us-visa-holders-for-possible-deportation-7837279.html?ref=DMDesc India Cheat US On Trade: Trump's Key Adviser Peter Navaroo :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/india-cheat-us-on-trade-trumps-key-adviser-peter-navaroo-7837205.html?ref=DMDesc ~GR.122~HT.408~

All Out War With Putin: Trump Sends 3,350 HUGE Missiles To Ukraine Warns Russia Dangerous Escalation

In a move set to escalate the conflict, the United States has approved the sale of 3,350 air-launched ERAM cruise missiles to Ukraine, according to the Wall Street Journal. With a range of up to 280 miles, the missiles could enable Kyiv to strike deep into Russian territory. Deliveries are expected by the end of 2025, though some shipments may arrive in just six weeks. Reports indicate Ukraine will need Pentagon approval before launching the weapons. President Donald Trump, who previously criticized unconditional aid to Kyiv, recently warned Ukraine has “no chance of winning” without long-range strike capability. NATO allies, especially France and Germany, are backing further weapons deliveries as part of post-war security guarantees, even as Russia insists Western military aid blocks peace. The missile deal highlights the growing stakes in Europe’s deadliest conflict since World War II. #UkraineWar #CruiseMissiles #USEscalation #TrumpUkraine #RussiaUkraineWar #MissileDeal #USUkraine #NATO #UkraineConflict #MilitaryAid #UkraineNews #Pentagon #UkraineDefense #UkraineCrisis #RussiaWar #TrumpNews #SecurityGuarantees #UkraineMilitary #Geopolitics #WarUpdate ~HT.410~ED.103~GR.124~

India's FIERY Response To Trump's Warning | India Stands Firm On Russian Oil [Video]

India's FIERY Response To Trump's Warning | India Stands Firm On Russian Oil

India has doubled down on its decision to continue purchasing discounted Russian crude oil despite U.S. President Donald Trump's remarks suggesting New Delhi may halt such imports. Indian state-owned refiners reaffirmed that sourcing oil from Russia remains a strategic, price-driven choice essential for the country’s energy security, given its 85% crude import dependence. Officials emphasized that Russian oil is not under international sanctions and purchases comply with the G7/EU price cap mechanism, ensuring global markets remain liquid and prices stable. Sources argue that India's imports prevented oil prices from soaring above the March 2022 peak of $137 a barrel amid OPEC+ cuts. Meanwhile, reports of suspended purchases were dismissed, with officials highlighting the EU’s own high intake of Russian LNG. India insists its decisions are guided by national interest while contributing positively to global energy stability, even as Washington hints at possible penalties. #IndiaOilImports #RussianOil #TrumpTariffs #EnergySecurity #GlobalOilPrices #RussianCrude #OilTradeTensions #IndiaEnergyPolicy #USIndiaRelations #BrentCrude #OPECPlusCuts #PriceCapMechanism #RussianLNG #OilMarketStability #IndiaDefiesTrump #OilSupplyCrisis #GlobalEnergyCrisis #IndianRefiners #USRussiaTensions #OilImportsNews ~HT.410~GR.125~ED.103~

China FIRES BACK at U.S. Over Trump's Tariff Penalty on BRICS Allies, Warns Against Tariff War 2.0 [Video]

China FIRES BACK at U.S. Over Trump's Tariff Penalty on BRICS Allies, Warns Against Tariff War 2.0

The geopolitical stage is set for a major confrontation as the BRICS alliance prepares for its 2025 summit in Brazil. The bloc, which will include ten member nations, is openly challenging the long-standing economic hegemony of the United States. With members like China, Russia, and Brazil leading the charge, BRICS now represents a formidable force, accounting for 45% of the global population and 35% of the world's GDP. The group's primary objective is to reduce its dependency on the U.S. dollar by promoting trade in local currencies and developing alternative financial systems. The tension has escalated dramatically following a direct threat from former U.S. President Donald Trump. He warned that any nation aligning with BRICS' anti-dollar policies would face severe consequences, including a blanket 10% tariff with "no exceptions." This aggressive stance is a clear signal that the U.S. views the rise of BRICS as a direct threat to its ability to impose sanctions and control global financial networks like SWIFT. In response to the mounting criticism and Trump's threats, China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Mao Ning, has publicly pushed back. While rejecting claims that BRICS is an "anti-American" coalition, she firmly stated that the mechanism is not targeted at any single country. However, she also reiterated China's long-standing opposition to "tariff wars and trade wars," sending a clear message to Washington. This high-stakes diplomatic battle between the established G7 powers and the rising BRICS alliance could reshape the future of the global economy. #BRICS #DonaldTrump #USChinaRelations #WorldNews #Geopolitics #BreakingNews #DeDollarization #OneindiaNews #TradeWar #InternationalNews Also Read BRICS Leaders Push For India And Brazil's Inclusion As Permanent Members Of UN Security Council :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/brics-leaders-push-for-india-and-brazils-inclusion-as-permanent-members-of-un-security-council-7794021.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Calls Musk’s America Party Plan ‘Ridiculous’ And ‘Unworkable’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-calls-musk-s-america-party-plan-ridiculous-and-unworkable-7793443.html?ref=DMDesc There Should Be No Hesitation In Imposing Sanctions Against Terrorists: PM Modi At BRICS :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/there-should-be-no-hesitation-in-imposing-sanctions-against-terrorists-pm-modi-at-brics-7793415.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~GR.125~

Trump Vs BRICS: Trump Declares Economic WAR On BRICS Allies, Warns 10% Tariffs On ‘Anti-U.S Bloc’ [Video]

Trump Vs BRICS: Trump Declares Economic WAR On BRICS Allies, Warns 10% Tariffs On ‘Anti-U.S Bloc’

Trump Vs BRICS: In a move set to rattle global markets, former President Donald Trump has issued a severe warning to the BRICS nations and their allies. He threatens to impose a blanket 10% tariff on any country adopting what he terms "anti-American" policies backed by the bloc. This declaration comes after the 2025 BRICS Summit in Brazil, where the member nations, now numbering ten, issued a joint condemnation of recent US-Israel strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, calling them "illegal." The BRICS bloc, now representing 45% of the global population and 35% of the world's GDP, has become a significant geopolitical force. In their summit, they also criticized the West's "double standards" on global terror, specifically citing the Pahalgam attack in Kashmir as an example. This direct reference brings the conflict to India's doorstep. Trump claims the tariff letters for 12 countries are already "signed and ready," though sources suggest this could be a strategic bluff to test the bloc's unity. This escalating tension is rooted in BRICS's core mission: to reduce dependence on the U.S. dollar. With their internal trade hitting $1 trillion in 2025 through local currency systems, the bloc, heavily influenced by China and Russia, is seen as a direct challenge to America's sanctions power and its dominance via institutions like the IMF and G7. For Trump, the bloc's growing anti-West stance and expanding economic influence represents a primary threat to American global leadership, setting the stage for a potential economic war. #BRICS #DonaldTrump #USTariff #BreakingNews #WorldNews #Geopolitics #TradeWar #OneindiaNews #USDollar #Dedollarization Also Read Trump Calls Musk’s America Party Plan ‘Ridiculous’ And ‘Unworkable’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-calls-musk-s-america-party-plan-ridiculous-and-unworkable-7793443.html?ref=DMDesc There Should Be No Hesitation In Imposing Sanctions Against Terrorists: PM Modi At BRICS :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/there-should-be-no-hesitation-in-imposing-sanctions-against-terrorists-pm-modi-at-brics-7793415.html?ref=DMDesc America Will Be Richer, Safer, and Prouder: Trump As Big, Beautiful Bill Passes Congress :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-s-big-beautiful-bill-passes-congress-in-big-win-for-us-president-011-7790919.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.103~HT.408~GR.125~
