NATO to SHUN Ukraine’s membership discussions at the upcoming NATO Summit

Ukraine’s NATO membership hopes face a major setback as the alliance drops any mention of its bid from the upcoming Hague Summit’s final declaration. To avoid divisions, NATO will remain silent on Kyiv’s accession, with U.S. reluctance and Trump’s return to prominence deepening the rift. While Zelensky may attend a royal dinner, he’s excluded from formal talks. As NATO downplays Ukraine ties, Washington withdraws leadership, raising fears of a soft pivot toward Moscow amid stalled peace talks and rising global tensions. #NATO #Ukraine #Zelensky #HagueSummit #NATOSummit #UkraineNATO #UkraineCrisis #TrumpEffect #USForeignPolicy #Kyiv #RussiaUkraine #Geopolitics #GlobalTensions #PeaceTalks #Moscow #NATOUnity #MilitarySupport #DiplomacyFail #DefenceSummit #TrumpReturns #BidenVsTrump #CeasefirePush #NATODivision #UkraineSnub #BreakingNews #UkraineWar #WashingtonPolitics #PeteHegseth #USDefencePolicy #RussiaUkraineWar Also Read 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 What Makes Ukraine’s Minerals So Special?

Putin Fear Grips the West? NATO Orders 5X Emergency Missile Buildup Across Europe to Stop Him

Putin Fear Grips the West? In a dramatic escalation, NATO has ordered a fivefold increase in missile defense systems across Europe amid growing fears of Russian aggression. As President Putin ramps up military activity near NATO borders, alliance leaders are scrambling to seal defense gaps from the Arctic to Eastern Europe. Defense ministers are meeting in Brussels, and even countries like Iceland—without an army—are stepping up. The West braces for what could be a defining standoff. #RussiaUkraineWar #NATO #RussiaVsUkraine #UkraineWarUpdate #NATORussia #UkraineConflict #RussianAggression #NATOMissileBuildup #NATOVsRussia #UkraineNews #RussiaUkraineNews #NATOAlert #EasternEuropeCrisis #ArcticSecurity #MissileDefense Also Read 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 How Ukraine's 'Operation Spider's Web' Struck Deep Into Russia, Targeted Strategic Airbases :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/how-ukraines-operation-spiders-web-struck-deep-into-russia-targeted-strategic-airbases-4170093.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~PR.152~ED.346~GR.125~

Can Russia DEFEAT the combined strength of NATO? Will the MILITARY alliance overcome Russian might?

Russia has threatened massive retaliation after Ukraine destroyed 40 of its bombers in the daring Op ‘Spider’s Web’. With France, the UK, and Germany vowing to defend Ukraine, any Russian strike could trigger NATO’s Article 5—turning a regional conflict into World War III. This explainer compares the military strength of Russia and NATO across budget, personnel, air/naval power, and nuclear capabilities. While NATO holds a clear edge overall, Russia’s unmatched nuclear arsenal makes global escalation a terrifying possibility. #WWIII #NATOvsRussia #OperationSpidersWeb #RussiaUkraineWar #Article5 #NATOStrength #MilitaryComparison #NuclearThreat #WorldWar3 #UkraineConflict #PutinWarning #RussiaRetaliation #GlobalConflict #DefenceSpending #MilitaryPower #Geopolitics #NuclearArsenal #RussiaVsNATO #WW3Watch #MutuallyAssuredDestruction #AlbertEinsteinQuote #NATOPower #UkraineAllies #WarForecast #StrategicAnalysis #RussianMilitary #NATODefense #BreakingNews #CyberWarfare #HypersonicWeapons #GlobalTensions Also Read Russia: Bridge Collapse Derails Train, At Least 7 Confirmed Dead :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-bridge-collapse-derails-train-at-least-7-confirmed-dead-4169275.html?ref=DMDesc West Pitching China-India Against Each Other: Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/west-pitching-china-india-against-each-other-russian-foreign-minister-sergei-lavrov-4155227.html?ref=DMDesc Russia Marks 80th Anniversary of Nazi Germany's Defeat with Grand Victory Day Parade :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/victory-day-parade-russia-80th-anniversary-defeat-nazi-germany-011-4148945.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.103~GR.124~

Oreshnik Missile’s Debut: Russia Unleashes Deadly Hypersonic Oreshnik Missile On Ukraine's Dnipro [Video]

Oreshnik Missile’s Debut: Russia Unleashes Deadly Hypersonic Oreshnik Missile On Ukraine's Dnipro

Russia has used its hypersonic Oreshnik missile for the first time in an attack on Dnipro, Ukraine, striking at unmatched speeds of Mach 10–11. Surveillance footage showed six massive fireballs, and intelligence confirms the missile carried multiple warheads. President Putin touted its capabilities on state TV, warning NATO that the missile can bypass all current defenses and deliver devastation comparable to a nuclear strike—even with conventional payloads. The Pentagon has labeled it experimental, but its battlefield debut is sending shockwaves through Europe and the global defense community. #OreshnikMissile #RussiaUkraineWar #Putin #HypersonicWeapons #DniproStrike #Mach10 #MissileDefense #NATO #UkraineWar #WarInEurope #BallisticMissile #MilitaryTechnology #Pentagon #PutinSpeech #NuclearThreat #RussiaStrikes #UkrainianIntel #ClusterWarhead #GlobalSecurity #WarfareTech #Mach11 #MilitaryNews #BreakingNews #DefenseSystems #KapustinYar #CaspianSea #ICBM #Submunitions #HazelnutMissile #StrategicThreat Also Read Russia: Bridge Collapse Derails Train, At Least 7 Confirmed Dead :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-bridge-collapse-derails-train-at-least-7-confirmed-dead-4169275.html?ref=DMDesc West Pitching China-India Against Each Other: Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/west-pitching-china-india-against-each-other-russian-foreign-minister-sergei-lavrov-4155227.html?ref=DMDesc Russia Marks 80th Anniversary of Nazi Germany's Defeat with Grand Victory Day Parade :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/victory-day-parade-russia-80th-anniversary-defeat-nazi-germany-011-4148945.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.420~
