Ukrainian Soldiers Raise Flags in “Captured” Villages —Russia’s Fake Victory Exposed in Donetsk Push

On July 17, Ukrainian troops raised national flags in the eastern villages of Yalta and Voskresenka, located near the Donetsk-Dnipropetrovsk border—territories Russia had already claimed to have captured. Fighters from the 31st Separate Mechanized Brigade and the 505th Separate Marine Battalion quietly entered these so-called “occupied” areas and planted the Ukrainian flag, directly challenging Moscow’s narrative of battlefield success. Footage released by Ukraine’s 20th Corps shows the flag-raising moments and FPV drone strikes targeting Russian positions. While Russian propaganda reports daily advances, Ukrainian forces are proving that the front lines remain fluid, contested, and fiercely defended. #UkraineWar #Donetsk #UkraineVsRussia #RussianPropaganda #Yalta #Voskresenka #UkrainianArmy #EasternUkraine #WarUpdate #FPVDrones #UkrainianFlags #UkraineNews #20thCorps #MilitaryTruth #BreakingNews #StandWithUkraine #RussiaUkraineWar ~HT.410~PR.274~ED.420~GR.124~

Ukraine Burns Overnight: Deadly Russian Shaheed Drones Hit Homes, Schools, and Nova Poshta Hub

On the night of July 17–18, Russia launched a deadly wave of attacks across Ukraine, striking the Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia oblasts with drones and other weapons. At least two civilians were killed and 11 injured in the Kamianske district of Dnipropetrovsk, where homes, a school, a shop, and cars were damaged. In Zaporizhzhia, Shahed drones ignited fires in non-residential buildings, injuring a 79-year-old man. #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraineConflict #ShahedDrones #NovaPoshta #DniproAttack #Zaporizhzhia #Sloviansk #DroneStrike #UkraineNews #StandWithUkraine #WarCrimes #CivilianTargets #BreakingNews #July18Attack #UkraineUnderAttack ~HT.410~PR.274~ED.194~

VIDEO: Russia’s FAB-1500 Bomb OBLITERATES Ukrainian Troop Base; Missile Strike Hits UAV Command Post

In a dramatic escalation, Russia’s Aerospace Forces have struck two key Ukrainian military sites in coordinated aerial attacks. A devastating FAB-1500 high-explosive bomb targeted a temporary deployment area of Ukraine’s elite 25th Separate Airborne Brigade near Rodinskoye in the Donetsk People's Republic, reportedly causing massive destruction. Simultaneously, a light air-to-surface guided missile precisely hit the UAV command post of the 39th Separate Coastal Defence Brigade near Olgovka in the Kherson region. These attacks, seen as a tactical move by Russia to weaken Ukrainian battlefield coordination, come amid intensifying clashes in the east and south. The dual strike raises serious concerns about Ukraine’s ability to secure critical infrastructure and battlefield intelligence hubs. With the use of heavy aerial ordnance and advanced missile targeting, Russia is seemingly ramping up precision strikes to paralyze Ukraine's operational depth. No official casualty figures have been released yet, but the scale of the attacks indicates a significant blow to Ukrainian forces. #RussiaUkraineWar #FAB1500 #UkraineConflict #RussianAerospaceForces #KhersonStrike #RodinskoyeAttack #UAVCommandHit #DonetskWar #UkraineBrigade #WarOnUkraine #RussianAirStrike #MilitaryConflict #MissileStrike #DroneCommandCenter #UkraineUnderFire #EasternFrontline #UkraineWarUpdate #RussiaStrikesBack #UkrainianDefense #TacticalStrike ~HT.410~ED.420~GR.125~

Germany CRUSHES Zelensky's Taurus Dream| Merz to Arm Ukraine With This Long-Range Strike System

Germany has announced it will soon supply Ukraine with new long-range missile systems, but not the Taurus cruise missiles that Kyiv has long sought. Despite previous speculation, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius confirmed that Taurus missiles—capable of striking targets up to 500 km away—will not be sent. Instead, Germany is providing Patriot air defense systems purchased from the U.S. Chancellor Friedrich Merz emphasized that diplomatic avenues with Russia are "exhausted" and vowed to counter what he called a “criminal regime.” #GermanyMissiles #UkraineMissiles #LongRangeMissiles #TaurusMissile #UkraineVsRussia #MissileStrike #WesternArmsUkraine #GermanySupportsUkraine #UkraineFiresBack #TaurusForUkraine #MissileAid #UkraineDefense #RussiaUkraineWar #USGermanyMissiles #MissileCrisis ~HT.410~PR.152~ED.346~GR.125~

Trump Warns of VERY STEEP TARIFFS & Secondary Sanctions if Putin doesn’t end war in Ukraine 50 days

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to Russian President Vladimir Putin, setting a 50-day deadline to end the war in Ukraine or face sweeping consequences. Trump threatened "very steep tariffs" and harsh secondary sanctions on countries buying Russian oil. The proposed sanctions aim to criple Russia’s economy and isolate it globally. Trump’s ultimatum, delivered with unmistakable clarity, signals a possible escalation in economic warfare if Moscow refuses to agree to a ceasefire within the time limit. #TrumpVsPutin #UkraineWar #50DayDeadline #TrumpWarning #RussiaSanctions #TariffsOnRussia #SecondarySanctions #GlobalPressure #UkraineCrisis #TrumpSpeech #SanctionThreat #CeasefireDeadline #Geopolitics #RussiaIsolation #PutinUltimatum #OilSanctions #BreakingNews #USRussiaTensions #EconomicWarfare #TrumpReturns #UkraineUpdate #TariffThreat #TrumpForeignPolicy #Zelensky 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 Imposes 35% Tariff On Canadian Goods; Threatens More In Case of Retaliation :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-imposes-35-tarifss-on-canadian-goods-threatens-more-in-case-of-retaliation-7797777.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Slaps 50% Tariff On Brazil Over 'Witch Hunt' Trial Against Bolsonaro :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-slaps-50-tariff-on-brazil-over-witch-hunt-trial-against-bolsonaro-011-7796631.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.194~

Khamenei REJECTS US Nuclear Proposal | US Tries to ROPE Iran Into Nuke Deal With Nuclear Consortium

Iran has signaled openness to a nuclear deal—if a proposed regional uranium consortium is based within its borders. The U.S. proposal, led by envoy Steve Witkoff, suggests shared enrichment oversight with countries like Saudi Arabia and Turkey under IAEA monitoring. However, Iran's Supreme Leader dismissed any plan not based on Iranian soil, calling it a national threat. With enrichment caps and underground work restrictions on the table, talks aim to balance nuclear transparency with Tehran’s sovereignty concerns. A sixth round of negotiations may take place this weekend. #Iran #NuclearDeal #UraniumConsortium #MiddleEastPolitics #USIranTalks #EnrichmentDeal #SteveWitkoff #IAEA #Tehran #GlobalSecurity #NonProliferation #IranNews #InternationalDiplomacy #SaudiArabia #Turkey #UAE #Qatar #USForeignPolicy #NuclearOversight #IranNuclearProgram #DiplomaticTalks #CivilNuclear #UraniumEnrichment #IranSovereignty #Geopolitics #IranUSA #NuclearTensions #EnergySecurity #MiddleEast #PeaceTalks #RegionalSecurity Also Read Three Indians Reported Missing In Iran; Embassy Coordinates Search Efforts :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/three-indians-reported-missing-in-iran-embassy-coordinates-search-efforts-4166117.html?ref=DMDesc Massive Explosion At Iran's Bandar Abbas: Over 500 Injured :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/massive-explosion-at-irans-bandar-abbas-at-least-47-injured-4135773.html?ref=DMDesc Iran Reaches Out To India, Pakistan To De-Escalate Cross-Border Tensions :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/iran-reaches-out-to-india-pakistan-to-de-escalate-cross-border-tensions-4135431.html?ref=DMDesc

Israel-Hamas Breaking: Hamas Submits Response To Trump-Led Witkoff Ceasefire Proposal | Details

In a major development, Hamas has officially submitted its response to the Trump-backed Witkoff ceasefire proposal, signaling potential movement in the long-stalled negotiations. According to sources, Hamas has agreed to release 10 living hostages and return the bodies of 18 more—if key conditions are met. The group’s reply comes amid increasing pressure on both sides to halt the conflict. Israeli officials are now reviewing the proposal, as global eyes turn to whether Netanyahu’s war cabinet will accept Hamas’ terms or prolong the fighting. #IsraelHamasCeasefire #HamasIsraelWar #SteveWitkoff #IsraelGazaConflict #CeasefireProposal #WitkoffDeal #IsraelNews #HamasResponse #GazaCeasefire #IsraelHamasTalks #MiddleEastCrisis #WitkoffPeacePlan #IsraelVsHamas #HamasIsraelCeasefire #GazaUpdates Also Read Middle East: UN Labels Gaza 'The Hungriest Place On Earth' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/middle-east-un-labels-gaza-the-hungriest-place-on-earth-4168609.html?ref=DMDesc Shots Fired Outside CIA Headquarters Hours After Israeli Embassy Staff Killings :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/shots-fired-outside-cia-headquarters-hours-after-israeli-embassy-staff-killings-4161067.html?ref=DMDesc Hamas Leader Muhammad Sinwar Killed In Israel's Air Strike :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/hamas-leader-muhammad-sinwar-killed-in-israels-air-strike-4156915.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.152~ED.102~HT.318~

Hamas Exposes Flaws In Pro-Israel Trump-Led Witkoff Ceasefire Deal; Demands Full IDF Exit From Gaza

Hamas has rejected the US-brokered ceasefire plan led by Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff, calling it biased and lacking in substance. Senior Hamas official Jihad Taha said the proposal fails to address key Palestinian demands, including a full Israeli military withdrawal from Gaza and binding guarantees to end hostilities. While reports suggest preliminary progress during talks in Doha, Hamas remains deeply skeptical, warning of a worsening humanitarian crisis unless the international community intervenes urgently. #IsraelHamasWar #GazaCeasefire #HamasIsraelDeal #TrumpPeacePlan #SteveWitkoff #MiddleEastConflict #IDFWithdrawal #CeasefireNow #GazaUnderAttack #IsraelGazaWar #USMediation #HamasDemands #TrumpEnvoy #WitkoffProposal #GazaCrisis2025 Also Read Middle East: UN Labels Gaza 'The Hungriest Place On Earth' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/middle-east-un-labels-gaza-the-hungriest-place-on-earth-4168609.html?ref=DMDesc Shots Fired Outside CIA Headquarters Hours After Israeli Embassy Staff Killings :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/shots-fired-outside-cia-headquarters-hours-after-israeli-embassy-staff-killings-4161067.html?ref=DMDesc Hamas Leader Muhammad Sinwar Killed In Israel's Air Strike :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/hamas-leader-muhammad-sinwar-killed-in-israels-air-strike-4156915.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.103~PR.152~

White House Breaks SILENCE Over Hamas Agreeing To Gaza Ceasefire Deal, Says ‘Only Israel Has…’

White House envoy Steve Witkoff has denied Hamas' claim that it accepted a U.S.-brokered Gaza ceasefire and hostage deal. Speaking to Axios, Witkoff clarified that only Israel has agreed to the current terms, and urged Hamas to accept the proposal that remains on the table. Earlier, a Palestinian source close to Hamas had claimed the group agreed to release hostages for a 70-day truce. The contradiction casts doubt on progress toward ending the conflict, raising concerns of further delays in reaching a ceasefire. #GazaCeasefire #HamasIsrael #HostageDeal #MiddleEastCrisis #Witkoff #WhiteHouseStatement #USMediation #GazaConflict #AxiosNews #SteveWitkoff #CeasefireTalks #HamasClaimDenied #IsraelAcceptsDeal #BidenAdministration #PalestineCrisis #MideastTensions #DiplomaticStandoff #GazaHostages #TruceNegotiations #BreakingNews Also Read In Qatar, Donald Trump Once Again Claims He 'Helped Settle' India, Pakistan Tensions :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/in-qatar-donald-trump-once-again-claims-he-helped-settle-india-pakistan-tensions-4154237.html?ref=DMDesc Pakistan Rejects PM Modi's Remarks On Operation Sindoor, Calls It 'Provocative, Inflammatory Assertions' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-rejects-pm-modis-remarks-on-operation-sindoor-calls-it-provocative-inflammatory-asserti-4153615.html?ref=DMDesc IndiGo, Air India Cancel Flights To 7 Border Cities Amid India-Pakistan Tensions Despite Ceasefire :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/indigo-air-india-cancel-flights-to-7-border-cities-amid-india-pakistan-tensions-despite-ceasefire-4151761.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.420~HT.408~

Trump Publicly SHAMED in Brazil: Protesters Stage ‘Arrest’ Amid Explosive U.S. Tariff Threats

As US President Donald Trump threatens to impose 50 percent tariffs on Latin America's largest economy, protesters in Brazil's economic capital of Sao Paulo rally in defense of jobs, local businesses, and national sovereignty. The July 9 announcement, in which Trump vows steep tariffs as retaliation for what he calls a "witch hunt" against his far-right ally Jair Bolsonaro, has drawn criticism in Brazil. Demonstrators stage a symbolic "arrest" of both leaders by dressing up as Trump and Bolsonaro, complete with police uniforms. #TrumpArrested #BolsonaroProtest #BrazilVsUSA #TariffWar #SaoPauloProtest #TrumpTariffs #EconomicBlackmail #MockArrest #GlobalBacklash #USBrazilTensions #StopTheTariffs #PoliticalTheater #StreetJustice #LatinAmericaResists ~HT.410~PR.274~ED.194~
