WW3 Warning: ‘US Is Deploying Missiles…’ Russia’s EXPLOSIVE Claims | War Alarm Ahead of Alaska Meet [Video]

WW3 Warning: ‘US Is Deploying Missiles…’ Russia’s EXPLOSIVE Claims | War Alarm Ahead of Alaska Meet

Russia has issued a stark new warning to the United States over what it calls an alarming surge in US missile systems positioned in regions with a “direct impact” on Russia’s security. Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov declared that Moscow is abandoning its self-imposed moratorium on missile deployments in response, accusing Washington of pushing the situation toward dangerous escalation. Ryabkov also hinted at the existence of other advanced Russian weapons beyond the newly unveiled Oreshnik missile system, saying only that “we did not waste time” in preparing them. He refused to disclose further details, adding to the intrigue surrounding Russia’s military capabilities. The statement underscores Moscow’s growing unease over NATO-linked deployments near its borders and sets the stage for a new era of military posturing. With tensions already heightened by the Ukraine conflict, this latest warning raises the risk of an intensified arms race between the world’s largest nuclear powers. #Russia #USMissiles #Ryabkov #MissileWarning #Oreshnik #AdvancedWeapons #RussiaUSRelations #MilitaryTensions #SecurityThreat #Moscow #NATO #NuclearStandoff #Geopolitics #Defense #MissileRace #RussiaNews #WarPreparations #MilitarySecrets #ArmsRace #GlobalSecurity ~HT.178~GR.124~ED.103~

VIDEO: Russia-Ukraine UNLEASH Deadly Drone Attack On Each Other Ahead of Trump-Putin Alaska Meet

Russia and Ukraine exchanged massive overnight drone attacks just days before the planned Trump-Putin peace summit in Alaska. Ukraine’s air force reported Russia launched 100 drones, 70 of which were intercepted, while 30 struck 12 locations. Russia claimed to have downed 126 Ukrainian drones in the same period. One person was killed in Saratov when a drone struck near a residential building, damaging an industrial site. Ukraine confirmed the attack targeted a major oil refinery supplying Russian forces. August has seen a surge in Ukrainian drone operations, while Russia’s aerial assault remains intense. The violence unfolds as both sides maneuver diplomatically ahead of Friday’s high-profile meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, a summit that could shift the trajectory of the war. #Russia #Ukraine #DroneWar #Putin #Trump #AlaskaSummit #PeaceTalks #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraineWar #DroneAttack #Kyiv #Moscow #Geopolitics #WarNews #OilRefinery #MilitaryNews #GlobalSecurity #NATO #EasternEurope #BreakingNews ~HT.178~GR.124~ED.103~

Trump's 'ENDING UKRAINE WAR' Bluff BUSTED: Months of Missed Deadlines, Empty Threats, and Putin FEAR [Video]

Trump's 'ENDING UKRAINE WAR' Bluff BUSTED: Months of Missed Deadlines, Empty Threats, and Putin FEAR

Donald Trump’s bold campaign vow to end the Russia–Ukraine war “within 24 hours” has unraveled into six months of shifting deadlines, broken ultimatums, and rising tensions. Since taking office in January 2025, Trump has suspended U.S. military aid to Ukraine, sidelined Kyiv in talks, reversed support for NATO expansion, and repeatedly clashed with President Volodymyr Zelensky while trying to woo Vladimir Putin. From a “first 48 hours” promise, to 30-day, two-week, 50-day, and finally August 8 deadlines, each reset has produced no ceasefire — only intensified Russian attacks and deepening mistrust. With his latest deadline passing without results, Trump now faces mounting domestic and international pressure as he prepares for his first face-to-face meeting with Putin since the war began, leaving the world to question whether peace is possible or if this is just another clock set to reset. #TrumpVsPutin #RussiaUkraineWar #TrumpSanctions #PutinDeadline #UkraineCrisis #TrumpBluff #TrumpPeacePlan #PutinWar #TrumpVsRussia #TrumpUltimatum #UkraineUnderFire #TrumpRussiaTalks #CeasefireBluff #TrumpPutinDeal #SanctionsShowdown #EndTheWar #TrumpDeadlines #PutinUnderPressure #RussiaSanctions #UkrainePeaceNow #Trump24Promises #PutinPushback #TrumpOnUkraine #USRussiaTensions Also Read Ukrainian First Lady’s Special Surprise Stop In Jaipur Before Japan Visit :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/ukrainian-first-lady-s-special-surprise-stop-in-jaipur-before-japan-visit-7821279.html?ref=DMDesc India, China, Brazil Could Be Hit Hard For Trading With Russia: NATO Secretary Rutte :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/india-china-brazil-could-be-hit-hard-for-trading-with-russia-nato-secretary-rutte-7802537.html?ref=DMDesc Ukraine Confirms F-16 Loss, Pilot Killed While Intercepting Russian Missiles And Drones :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/ukraine-confirms-f-16-loss-pilot-killed-while-intercepting-russian-missiles-and-drones-7786265.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.152~HT.318~GR.124~

Putin’s BIGGEST Demand Revealed: Trump Mulls Giving Russia Eastern Ukraine To ‘END Ukraine War’ [Video]

Putin’s BIGGEST Demand Revealed: Trump Mulls Giving Russia Eastern Ukraine To ‘END Ukraine War’

A Wall Street Journal report claims Vladimir Putin has agreed to meet Donald Trump and halt the Ukraine war if Kyiv surrenders its eastern territories, including Donetsk and Crimea. The proposal, relayed via U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff, demands Ukraine’s withdrawal from key regions. European leaders and President Zelensky strongly reject territorial concessions, citing Ukraine’s constitutional ban on such moves. Trump’s push for land swaps is straining U.S.-Ukraine ties and creating friction within NATO ahead of a possible Trump-Putin meeting in Alaska. #Putin #Trump #Ukraine #Zelensky #UkraineWar #Donetsk #Crimea #PeaceDeal #NATO #Kyiv #TerritorySwap #Russia #USPolitics #WarNews #EasternUkraine #UkraineRussiaWar #Geopolitics #WSJReport #KyivRejectsDeal #EuropeRejectsDeal #TrumpPutin #UkraineMap #CrimeaAnnexation #RussiaUkraineConflict #BreakingNews #GlobalPolitics #Diplomacy #PeaceTalks #NATOAllies #KyivWashingtonTensions Also Read US President Trump Says He Will Meet Russian Counterpart Putin On August 15 :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-trump-says-he-will-meet-russian-counterpart-putin-on-august-15-7824671.html?ref=DMDesc PM Modi Speaks With ‘Friend’ Putin, Vows To Strengthen India-Russia Relations :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pm-modi-speaks-with-friend-putin-vows-to-strengthen-india-russia-relations-7824237.html?ref=DMDesc Putin Hopes for Meeting with Trump as White House Pushes for Ukraine Peace Deal :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/putin-hopes-to-meet-trump-ukraine-peace-deal-011-7823563.html?ref=DMDesc
