Russia Accuses Quad Nations Of ‘Forcing’ India Into Military Bloc, Urges Revival Of RIC Alliance

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has accused Quad nations — the US, Japan, and Australia — of dragging India into a de facto military alliance, despite Delhi’s stated focus on economic ties. Speaking at a Eurasian security forum, Lavrov warned of coordinated naval drills aimed at militarizing Quad beyond its original scope. He also pushed to revive the dormant Russia-India-China (RIC) trilateral platform, asserting that Western powers are deliberately stoking Indo-China tensions by reframing the region as "Indo-Pacific" with anti-China goals. His remarks signal Moscow’s shifting strategic focus in Asia. #RussiaQuad #IndiaQuad #LavrovStatement #RICAlliance #IndiaChina #IndoPacific #RussiaIndiaChina #Geopolitics #QuadMilitary #MoscowDiplomacy #GlobalShifts #AsiaPacific #QuadTensions #RICRevival #LavrovWarning #GalwanClash #IndiaChinaBorder #WesternStrategies #MilitaryDrills #RussiaIndiaRelations Also Read India Rebukes Pakistan Over Indus Waters Treaty Remarks At UN Forum: 'Appalled' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/india-rebukes-pakistan-over-indus-waters-treaty-remarks-at-un-forum-appalled-4169437.html?ref=DMDesc 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 Adani Ports taps its Largest Ever Domestic bond - 5,000 crore 15-year NCD :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/apsez-secures-inr-5000-crore-via-non-convertible-debentures-012-4168661.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~

‘China Won’t Invade Taiwan Under Trump…’, Says Pentagon Chief Hegseth, Warns Of Imminent Threat

At the Shangri-La Dialogue, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth declared that China would not dare invade Taiwan while Donald Trump remains in office, warning that Beijing poses a real and possibly imminent threat. Hegseth urged Asian allies to increase defense spending and prepare for a potential regional conflict. He affirmed Trump’s Indo-Pacific focus and emphasized consequences for any Chinese aggression.

NATO Doubles Down! Netherlands Sends Final F-16s to Ukraine — 3 Already Shot Down in War With Russia

NATO is stepping up its military backing of Ukraine as the Netherlands ships out its final batch of F-16 fighter jets — but the skies aren't safe. Ukraine has already confirmed the loss of three U.S.-made F-16s in combat. Despite mounting risks, Western nations continue their push to modernize Ukraine’s air force as part of the international fighter jet coalition. Denmark, Belgium, Norway, and the Netherlands are now actively arming Kyiv while transitioning to the F-35s themselves. Is NATO’s bet on air superiority paying off — or are these jets flying straight into danger? #F16Ukraine #NetherlandsF16 #UkraineWar #NATOvsRussia #FighterJets #Zelensky #DutchF16 #UkraineRussiaConflict #AirWar #UkraineDefense #MilitaryAid #WesternSupport #Geopolitics #NATOSupport #UkraineAirForce Also Read Pakistan Air force F-16 crashes in Islamabad during parade day rehearsal :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-air-force-f-16-crashes-in-islamabad-during-parade-day-rehearsal-3048159.html?ref=DMDesc Abhinandan Varthamanan: This year, that year, the dog fight which took down a Pak F-16 :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/abhinandan-varthamanan-this-year-that-year-the-dog-fight-which-took-down-a-pak-f-16-3040561.html?ref=DMDesc Pakistan Air Force fighters intercept Kabul bound Spice Jet plane, escort out of its airspace :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/pakistan-air-force-fighters-intercept-kabul-bound-spice-jet-escort-out-of-airspace-2963140.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.274~HT.408~ED.420~GR.124~

On May 23, 2025, Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath issued a fiery warning to Pakistan during a speech in Ayodhya, following the success of Op Sindoor.
