Putin UNLEASHES on Macron | Blames THE WEST for DESTROYING Ukraine, Escalating War

In their first call since the Ukraine war began, Russian President Vladimir Putin confronted French President Emmanuel Macron over Western involvement in the conflict. Putin blamed NATO expansion and years of Western military support for turning Ukraine into an “anti-Russia bridgehead.” He warned Macron that any French troops in Ukraine would be seen as legitimate targets, risking escalation to World War III. Putin reaffirmed Russia’s terms for peace, insisting any resolution must reflect battlefield realities and end Western interference. #Putin #Macron #UkraineWar #RussiaFrance #WWIIIWarning #NATOTensions #UkraineCrisis #PeaceTalks #Geopolitics #PutinMacronCall #RussiaVsWest #KremlinStatement #FrenchTroops #NATOExpansion #GlobalSecurity #WesternInterference #PutinWarns #UkraineConflict #CeasefireDebate #RussiaUkraine #MilitaryEscalation #MacronDiplomacy #PutinSpeech #StrategicStandoff #TerritorialReality #UkrainePeace #BreakingNews #ForeignPolicy #WarTalks #AntiRussiaBridgehead #NATOPosturing Also Read PM Modi’s ‘Twitter’ Joke To Macron At G7 Summit Goes Viral — Watch The Candid Moment :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pm-modi-s-twitter-joke-to-macron-at-g7-summit-goes-viral-watch-the-candid-moment-4184813.html?ref=DMDesc French President Macron Whispers Something In Italian PM Meloni's Ear, Her Eye Rolling Reaction Goes Viral :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/french-president-macron-whispers-something-in-italian-pm-meloni-ear-her-eye-rolling-reaction-goes-4184371.html?ref=DMDesc Russia May Attack THIS European Country After Ukraine :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-may-attack-this-european-country-after-ukraine-4176043.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.103~

Trump’s Sons Sign SECRET Crypto Deal In Pakistan Days Before Pahalgam Attack | India Raises Alarm [Video]

Trump’s Sons Sign SECRET Crypto Deal In Pakistan Days Before Pahalgam Attack | India Raises Alarm

Just days before the Pahalgam terror attack, a controversial U.S.-Pakistan crypto deal was signed in Islamabad involving Trump’s sons and Jared Kushner. With a 60% stake in World Liberty Financial, the Trump family aims to position Pakistan as South Asia’s crypto hub. The deal has drawn criticism in New Delhi over alleged political motives, especially with Pakistani Army Chief Asim Munir’s backing. Despite growing scrutiny, Trump’s family and the White House remain silent, while Pakistan’s Crypto Council claims the agreement is purely economic and focused on blockchain integration and digital inclusion. #TrumpFamily #CryptoDeal #Pakistan #BlockchainNews #TrumpSons #JaredKushner #PahalgamAttack #CryptoControversy #Islamabad #SouthAsiaCrypto #WorldLibertyFinancial #TrumpNews #FinancialInclusion #Binance #ChangpengZhao #CryptoCouncil #DigitalPakistan #IndiaPakistanTensions #CryptoPolitics #BlockchainDeal #GlobalCrypto #TrumpInPakistan #CryptoInvestment #CryptoHubs #Tokenization #Stablecoin #RegTech #AsimMunir #USPakistanDeal #NewDelhiConcern #Geopolitics Also Read ‘Running Out of Lives’: Eric Trump Stunned by Second Assassination Attempt on Donald Trump :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/running-out-of-lives-eric-trump-stunned-by-second-assassination-attempt-on-donald-trump-3935765.html?ref=DMDesc Eric Trump Testifies in New York Civil Fraud Trial :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/eric-trump-testifies-in-new-york-civil-fraud-trial-gen-3663975.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.346~HT.336~

Why Did America Jump In? U.S Expert Reveals What Forced America To Mediate India-Pak Ceasefire

Washington-based South Asia analyst Michael Kugelman explains why the U.S. intervened during the rising tensions between India and Pakistan. Initially maintaining a watchful stance, Vice President Vance and President Trump eventually pushed for a ceasefire due to two major concerns: rapid military escalation and fears around nuclear security. Kugelman noted that the U.S. was alarmed by India’s targeting of a strategic air base near nuclear sites in Rawalpindi. These developments prompted a rare shift from passive observation to active diplomatic pressure. #IndiaPakistan #USMediation #SouthAsia #Geopolitics #MichaelKugelman #Ceasefire #MilitaryTensions #NuclearSecurity #Rawalpindi #Diplomacy #Trump #VPVance #Deescalation #CrisisResponse #USForeignPolicy #IndiaNews #PakistanNews #IndoPakTensions #BreakingNews #GlobalSecurity #WatchAndAct #USIndiaRelations #USPakistanPolicy #PeacePush #WashingtonDC #StrategicThreat #NuclearAlert #ConflictMediation #DefensePolicy #GeoStrategy Also Read Calm Returns To Border Regions As India-Pakistan Ceasefire Holds, First Peaceful Night In 19 Days :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/calm-returns-to-border-regions-as-india-pakistan-ceasefire-holds-first-peaceful-night-in-19-days-4150855.html?ref=DMDesc Operation Sindoor: How India's Swift Military Precision Crippled Pakistan's War Machinery :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/operation-sindoor-rogue-state-rattled-pakistan-gets-a-taste-of-india-s-iron-resolve-4150793.html?ref=DMDesc India's Precision Strikes on Eight Pakistani Military Bases Lead to Peace Negotiations :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/indias-attacks-on-pakistan-military-facilities-peace-efforts-011-4150787.html?ref=DMDesc
