'Choose Friendship’: Kabul’s First Reaction As Russia Becomes First To Recognize Taliban Government

In a historic and controversial move, Russia has become the first nation to officially recognise the Taliban government in Afghanistan. The announcement was met with cautious optimism on the streets of Kabul, where many Afghans are now urging neighboring powers like Iran, Pakistan, and India to “choose friendship” over continued conflict. Locals say the recognition brings hope for stability, economic revival, and an end to international isolation. “War brings only destruction. We want peace and cooperation,” said Ahmad Zia Popal, a Kabul resident. The Taliban, still sanctioned by the West and condemned for its human rights record—especially on women’s rights—called Russia’s decision “courageous” and a model for others. While global criticism looms, many ordinary Afghans see this as a turning point. Moscow’s move also raises geopolitical questions as it deepens its footprint in the region amid growing tensions with the West. #RussiaTaliban #TalibanRecognition #AfghanistanNews #KabulVoices #PutinTaliban #RussiaAfghanistanTies #Geopolitics #TalibanRule #AfghanPeople #RegionalPeace #IndiaPakistanAfghanistan #AfghanPeace #MiddleEastNews #IranTaliban #RussiaInAsia #GlobalDiplomacy #FriendshipNotWar #AfghanistanFuture #WorldNews #TalibanGovernment ~HT.318~ED.102~PR.152~

Trump-Putin Bromance ENDS? Putin ‘Unmoved’ By Trump’s Pressure On Ukraine Peace Talks | Ukraine War

Russian President Vladimir Putin is reportedly unfazed by U.S. President Donald Trump’s growing pressure to reach a swift resolution in Ukraine. According to the Financial Times, Putin remains "immune" to Trump’s urgency and insists that peace talks must first address what he calls the “root causes” of the conflict. These include NATO’s eastward expansion, Western military aid to Ukraine, and alleged discrimination against Russian-speaking citizens. The report says Putin conveyed this stance directly during recent calls with Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron. Despite Western efforts to halt the war, Putin blames the conflict on long-standing U.S. and EU policies that transformed Ukraine into an anti-Russia stronghold. As U.S. military aid continues to flow into Ukraine, Moscow warns the conflict will only escalate unless core Russian concerns are recognized and resolved. #Putin #Trump #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraine #NATOTensions #Zelensky #Macron #Geopolitics #WarInUkraine #RussiaNews #TrumpNews #BidenUkraine #WesternMedia #PeaceTalks #UkraineCrisis #GlobalTensions #Kremlin #UkraineConflict #RootCauses #ModernWar Also Read 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 40 Russian Aircraft Downed By Ukraine: Reports :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/40-russian-aircraft-downed-by-ukraine-reports-4169609.html?ref=DMDesc Deeper Look At Talks Between US And Russian Officials And What Comes Next :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/deeper-look-at-talks-between-us-and-russian-officials-and-what-comes-next-4074843.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~GR.124~ED.346~

2 NUCLEAR Powers Come Together! BIG Worry for Putin? UK-France Join Forces to fend-off THREATS

In a landmark move, the UK and France have signed a historic agreement to coordinate their nuclear forces in response to growing threats—particularly from Russia. The pact strengthens joint deterrence capabilities and marks a unified European nuclear posture not seen before. The deal also expands their Joint Expeditionary Force to 50,000 troops. Leaders Macron and Starmer called it a “renewed vision” for European security, reaffirming support for Ukraine and warning against easing pressure on Putin as war escalates. #UKFrancePact #NuclearDeal #StrategicDeterrence #RussiaThreat #EuropeanUnity #StormShadow #Macron #Starmer #NuclearSecurity #JointExpeditionaryForce #UkraineSupport #RomeConference #KyivAllies #DefencePact #PutinWorried #UnifiedEurope #PostWarPlanning #MilitaryCooperation #BreakingNews #GlobalSecurity #FranceUK #CeasefireSupport #EuropeanDefence #CoalitionOfTheWilling #StormShadowMissiles #MacronStarmer #Geopolitics #RomeSummit #NATOPlus #NuclearCooperation Also Read Iran, US Hold First High-Level Nuclear Talks Since 2018 In Oman :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/iran-us-hold-first-high-level-nuclear-talks-since-2018-in-oman-4122717.html?ref=DMDesc Nuclear cooperation key to future India-Japan ties: Jaishankar :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/nuclear-cooperation-key-to-future-india-japan-ties-jaishankar-2539260.html?ref=DMDesc India-France to build six nuke reactor units at Jaitapur :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-france-build-six-nuke-reactor-units-at-jaitapur-1993750.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.420~HT.408~

‘We will NOT Give-up’ thunders Merz as he takes on Putin | Urges Trump to arm Ukraine with PATRIOTS

At a high-stakes summit in Rome, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz reaffirmed unwavering European support for Ukraine amid Russia’s escalating airstrikes. Merz issued a direct warning to Putin—“We will not give up”—and urged Donald Trump to maintain transatlantic unity. While Trump approved new weapons, his long-term stance remains unclear. As Kyiv seeks more Patriot systems, Germany considers direct delivery. With 30 nations gathered, the summit focused on rebuilding Ukraine and coordinating air defenses as the war enters a deadlier phase. #MerzInRome #UkraineSupport #GermanyUkraine #PutinWarning #TransatlanticUnity #RomeSummit #Zelensky #TrumpUkraine #PatriotMissiles #RussiaStrikes #KyivDefense #UkraineRebuild #EuropeStandsWithUkraine #GermanySupport #UkraineWar #AirDefense #GlobalSecurity #UkraineAllies #RomeConference #BreakingNews #RussiaUkraine #MerzVsPutin #TrumpMerz #USGermanyRelations #EuropeUnited #UkraineDonors #RebuildUkraine #StopPutin #KyivUnderAttack #DefendUkraine #PutinEscalation Also Read Pakistan Considering German Missile Shield After Chinese Systems Fail Against BrahMos During Op Sindoor :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/pakistan-considering-german-missile-shield-after-chinese-systems-fail-against-brahmos-during-op-sind-4178853.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 Germany Reaffirms Strong Support for India in Combating Terrorism, Says FM Johann Wadephul :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/germany-supports-india-fight-against-terrorism-011-4175297.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.408~

Russia RAGES As Trump RESUMES Weapons To Ukraine After Shocking Pentagon Pause | VIDEO

In a dramatic turnaround, the Trump administration has resumed shipping weapons to Ukraine after a brief but controversial pause ordered by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The move had caught even White House officials off guard and temporarily halted deliveries of key systems including Patriot missiles, GMLRS rockets, and 155 mm Howitzer rounds. Trump claimed no knowledge of the pause, stating he hadn’t given the order. Pentagon officials say the review was part of a broader stockpile assessment. But amid growing pressure from both allies and U.S. lawmakers, shipments resumed quietly—now including precision-guided rockets and artillery shells. Trump cited Russia’s rising brutality and President Putin’s conduct as reasons for restoring deliveries. The weapons—especially the 155 mm rounds—are critical in Ukraine’s defense. With the largest drone attack yet launched by Russia, Trump’s decision underscores the escalating urgency of the war. Over $67 billion in U.S. military aid has been sent since 2022. #TrumpUkraineAid #UkraineWar #WeaponsToUkraine #PentagonPause #PatriotMissiles #GMLRS #TrumpHegseth #UkraineRussiaWar #MilitaryAid #UkraineDefense #TrumpVsPentagon #ArtilleryToUkraine #HowitzerRounds #PutinWarCrimes #WhiteHouseConflict #UkraineCrisis #USUkraineSupport #PrecisionWeapons #AbruptPolicyShift #TrumpReversesPause ~GR.125~HT.408~ED.346~

‘No NATO? Then No Disarmament’ France’s Big WARNING Against Russia |France Draws Red Line On Ukraine

In a defiant statement ahead of key NATO-related discussions, French Defense Minister Sébastien Lecornu declared France’s “absolute red line” in the Ukraine conflict: demilitarizing Ukraine while denying it NATO membership. Lecornu told Valeurs Actuelles that Europe cannot accept a defenseless Ukraine outside NATO, directly rejecting Russia's long-standing demands for a neutral, demilitarized Ukraine. Russia, in contrast, insists any peace deal must address its security concerns — including Ukraine’s NATO ambition and military status. Lecornu's remarks come ahead of a UK-French push to reshape Ukraine’s post-war military under a Western “coalition of the willing.” Meanwhile, Moscow warns such moves will escalate the war, with foreign forces seen as “legitimate targets.” Tensions mount as Putin claims Ukraine reneged on the 2022 Istanbul terms that would’ve imposed limits on its army. The future of Ukraine’s military — and its place in Europe — hangs in the balance. #France #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraine #SebastienLecornu #UkraineNATO #NATOmembership #Putin #Kyiv #Demilitarization #Geopolitics #EUForeignPolicy #Macron #RedLine #CoalitionOfTheWilling #RussiaDemands #PeaceDeal #IstanbulTalks #TrumpUkraine #UkraineConflict #MilitaryAid Also Read Russia And North Korea Forge New Alliance Amid Ongoing War In Ukraine :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-and-north-korea-forge-new-alliance-amid-ongoing-war-in-ukraine-3857193.html?ref=DMDesc Heightened Nuclear Risks As Russia, China Forge Closer Ties: NATO Chief :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/heightened-nuclear-risks-as-russia-china-forge-closer-ties-nato-chief-3855631.html?ref=DMDesc Hundreds Exchanged in Russia-Ukraine Prisoner Swap, Marking Largest Release Since Invasion :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-ukraine-prisoner-swap-hundreds-freed-in-largest-exchange-gen-3718639.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~GR.125~

‘Pam Bondi Should RESIGN!’ AG Pam Bondi Under FIRE Over Epstein Files Fallout As MAGA Base Erupts

Pam Bondi is facing intense backlash from MAGA loyalists following the DOJ and FBI’s conclusion that there is no “Epstein client list.” The admission contradicts Bondi’s claim that such a list existed and was “on her desk,” a statement she made on Fox News in February. MAGA influencers like Laura Loomer, Liz Wheeler, and Megyn Kelly have publicly criticized Bondi, accusing her of either ignorance or laziness. Sources say FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino is considering resigning after a heated dispute with Bondi, while FBI Chief Kash Patel may follow suit. Internal friction has escalated into a full-blown crisis, with calls for Bondi’s resignation intensifying across conservative media. This debacle comes amid renewed scrutiny over Epstein documents and rising frustration that key files remain unreleased. The fallout could result in a major shakeup within the DOJ and Trump-aligned circles, with Bondi at the center of the storm. #PamBondi #EpsteinFiles #MAGA #Trump2025 #DanBongino #KashPatel #DOJ #FBI #JeffreyEpstein #FoxNews #ResignationDemand #MegynKelly #LizWheeler #LauraLoomer #Defamation #EpsteinList #Scandal #ConservativeMedia #PoliticalCrisis #WhiteHouse ~ED.346~HT.408~

‘Trump Is A R*Pist’ AOC Vs Trump EXPLODES As AOC Calls Trump A ‘R*pist’ In Epstein Post

U.S. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has ignited a firestorm by calling Donald Trump a “Rapist” in a social media post referencing Jeffrey Epstein. The remark, made on X, accused Trump of obstructing the release of Epstein-related files during his presidency. The post went viral, drawing immediate outrage from Trump’s supporters, with many labeling the comment defamatory. Conservative voices, including Laura Loomer, invoked precedent from a recent $15 million defamation settlement involving ABC’s George Stephanopoulos. Critics argue Trump has never been criminally convicted of Rape, and AOC’s post could open the door to legal action. The controversy is unfolding alongside renewed scrutiny of the Epstein case, where the DOJ recently denied the existence of a “client list” and reaffirmed Epstein’s death as suicide. AOC has not yet responded to the backlash. #aoc #donaldtrump #trumpnews #maga #jeffreyepstein #epsteinfiles #aoccontroversy #trumpdefamation #lauraloomer #georgestephanopoulos #breakingnews #politicalnews #usa #xpost #congressnews #defamationcase #civiltrial #ejeancarroll #epsteinupdate #trumplawsuit ~ED.102~HT.408~GR.125~

Iran WARNS Of Retaliation If US Refuses Guarantees Before Resuming Nuclear Talks After Conflict

Iran has signaled its willingness to resume nuclear diplomacy—but only under strict conditions. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said renewed talks must include U.S. guarantees that Iranian nuclear sites will not be struck again, following recent Israeli and U.S. airstrikes, including the impactful June 22 bombing campaign. The cancelled June 15 round in Oman collapsed after Tehran deemed the attacks a “declaration of war.” Araghchi told Le Monde that diplomacy must now be rooted in accountability, mutual respect, and concrete assurances. Tehran continues enriching uranium to 60% purity under IAEA oversight, arguing this proves its program’s peaceful goals. Iran also refuses to discuss its ballistic missile capability, calling it defensively crucial. Washington asserts Trump remains committed to peace—though Araghchi dismissed claims of Iran’s program being “obliterated” and hinted at possible compensation for damage. The stakes are high as both sides weigh whether talks can survive past recent military escalations. #IranNuclear #UStalks #AbbasAraghchi #NuclearDiplomacy #IranUSRelations #OmanTalks #IAEA #UraniumEnrichment #IranGuarantees #USStrikes #IranRetaliation #MutualRespect #NuclearTalks2025 #IranianForeignMinister #LeMondeInterview #BallisticMissiles #IranCompensation #MiddleEastTension #TrumpIran #GlobalSecurity ~HT.318~ED.102~GR.125~

US-Brazil Tensions: Trump BACKS Bolsonaro, SLAMS Lula | Brazil THREATENS US With Reciprocal Tariffs

In a fiery escalation of U.S.-Brazil tensions, Donald Trump has publicly defended former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, slamming Brazil’s legal proceedings against him as “very unfair.” Trump called Bolsonaro a “good man” and “tough negotiator,” drawing outrage from current President Lula da Silva, who warned the U.S. of “reciprocal tariffs” if Trump’s threatened 50% import duties go into effect. Lula condemned Trump’s remarks and questioned the legitimacy of his defense, particularly as Bolsonaro faces trial for plotting to prevent Lula’s presidency in 2023. Despite Trump's stance, Brazil's government downplayed the tariff’s impact, projecting continued growth. Tensions flared as Lula said while Brazil seeks dialogue, it would not bow to threats. Trump hinted at a conversation with Lula but showed no urgency. As the 2025 global trade climate heats up, this Trump-Bolsonaro-Lula standoff marks a dramatic pivot in diplomatic tone between two major Western Hemisphere powers. #Trump #LulaDaSilva #Bolsonaro #Brazil #USBrazilRelations #TradeWar #ReciprocalTariffs #TrumpNews #BolsonaroTrial #LulaVsTrump #TariffThreat #USPolitics #BrazilNews #InternationalTrade #GlobalTensions #TrumpSpeech #TradeFeud #BolsonaroSupport #TrumpBolsonaro #LulaResponse ~HT.318~ED.102~PR.152~GR.125~

In a scathing joint statement, 100 prominent Muslim scholars from over 25 countries declared Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu as “enemies waging war against God.” The scholars accused the two leaders of bloodshed, corruption, and crimes against humanity, condemning U.S.-Israeli policies on Palestine.

Citing attacks on Muslim groups and the Jerusalem embassy move, the statement calls for global Muslim unity and unwavering resistance until Palestine is fully liberated. #Trump #Netanyahu #IslamicScholars #Palestine #MiddleEastCrisis #Jerusalem #AntiZionism #IsraelOccupation #MuslimUnity #Islamophobia #CrimesAgainstHumanity #FreePalestine #Resistance #IslamicWorld #GazaCrisis #UShypocrisy #Zionism #UmmahUnite #IslamicLaw #ScholarsSpeakOut #TrumpJerusalem #NetanyahuWarCrimes #USIsraelAlliance #ReligiousDeclaration #BreakingNews Also Read Trump Condemns Brazilian Authorities for Alleged Witch Hunt Against Bolsonaro :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-criticises-brazilian-authorities-witch-hunt-bolsonaro-011-7794385.html?ref=DMDesc Israel To Send Ceasefire Team To Qatar A Day Before Trump-Netanyahu Meet :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-to-send-ceasefire-team-to-qatar-a-day-before-trump-netanyahu-meet-7792721.html?ref=DMDesc ‘Great American Pilots Very Upset’: Trump Flips Again on Iran Strike Damage :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-debates-us-strikes-impact-on-iran-nuclear-programme-011-7783495.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.346~HT.318~GR.125~

Russia’s BIGGEST Blunder Yet? Putin Bets On Taliban, Crowns Kabul’s Sharia Kings As Official Rulers

In a stunning geopolitical shift, Russia has become the first country to officially recognise the Taliban government in Afghanistan. Russian Ambassador Dmitry Zhirnov personally conveyed the recognition to Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi in Kabul, marking what Taliban leaders called a "new phase" in bilateral relations. The Kremlin, now seeking to strengthen regional influence, sees commercial potential in Afghanistan’s energy, agriculture, and infrastructure sectors, despite global condemnation of the Taliban's human rights record. Since returning to power in 2021, the Taliban have faced international isolation for enforcing brutal Sharia laws and gender apartheid. Yet, Russia has maintained its embassy, signed economic deals, removed the Taliban from its terror list, and labeled them allies in the fight against extremism. As the West tightens sanctions, Russia's move could set a precedent for others considering formal engagement with Kabul's hardline rulers. #Russia #Taliban #Afghanistan #Putin #Kremlin #TalibanRecognition #Geopolitics #ShariaLaw #HumanRights #GenderApartheid #InternationalRelations #RussiaAfghanistan #MiddleEastPolitics #PutinMoves #GlobalDiplomacy #MoscowKabul #BreakingNews #RussiaNews #AfghanistanNews #WorldNews ~HT.408~

Tensions surged near Sandy Cay on May 22 as Chinese Coast Guard vessels sideswiped and blasted Philippine research ships with water cannons. China slammed the mission as “illegal,” warning of further action, and accused the US of using the Philippines to provoke Beijing in the South China Sea. The Philippines condemned China’s “aggressive interference,” reporting vessel damage and safety threats. Sandy Cay is part of the disputed Spratly Islands, also claimed by Vietnam and Taiwan.

Big WORRY For Zelenskyy? Russia-North Korea Military Alliance Deepens As Lavrov’s Visit Begins

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has begun a high-stakes three-day visit to North Korea, underscoring deepening military ties between Moscow and Pyongyang amid the Ukraine war. Lavrov praised the “invincible brotherhood” between the nations during talks with North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Son-hui in Wonsan. Notably, North Korea had deployed troops to aid Russian forces in repelling Ukraine’s invasion of the Kursk region in 2024. Lavrov specifically commended the sacrifices of the Korean People’s Army in retaking Sudzha and surrounding villages from what he called “Ukrainian Nazis.” With Kyiv’s offensive now crushed, North Korea is sending more troops for reconstruction efforts in Kursk. Lavrov’s visit signals Russia’s growing pivot towards pariah states as it faces Western isolation. Shoigu confirmed 6,000 North Korean troops would aid with demining and engineering. #Lavrov #NorthKorea #RussiaUkraineWar #Kursk #Zelensky #Putin #Pyongyang #KimJongUn #UkraineInvasion #SergeyShoigu #ChoeSonHui #ForeignPolicy #MilitaryAlliance #TroopDeployment #Geopolitics #EasternFront #DefensePact #Wonsan #WarUpdates #RussiaNorthKorea ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.125~

‘The Nuclear Patron Of All…’ Russia’s First Reaction To UK And France’s Nuclear Pact SHOCKS World

Britain and France have unveiled a powerful new nuclear cooperation pact — dubbed the Northward Declaration — pledging deeper coordination of their arsenals amid rising European tensions. British PM Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron announced the agreement in a joint statement, vowing unified deterrence against any "extreme threat" to the continent. Russia reacted sharply, calling the pact part of NATO's "anti-Russian canvas" and warning it would be considered in future military planning. Moscow has condemned the UK-France coordination as a dangerous escalation and an extension of Washington's influence in Europe. With nearly 500 nuclear warheads combined, the UK and France’s alignment significantly alters the nuclear landscape in Europe. Macron denied any link to Ukraine but said the pact "sends a message" to allies and enemies alike. Russian Deputy FM Ryabkov warned Moscow will now factor London and Paris’ joint nuclear force into its military strategy. #UKFranceNuclearPact #NorthwardDeclaration #NATOvsRussia #MacronStarmerNuclear #NuclearDeterrence #RussiaWarning #NuclearAlliance #EuropeNuclearTensions #NuclearBlackmail #MoscowNuclearThreat #NATOPolicy #RussiaUKTensions #FranceRussiaTensions #EuropeanSecurityCrisis #MacronUKNuclearDeal #KeirStarmerMacron #NuclearCoordination #RussiaNuclearResponse #GlobalNuclearArms #NuclearWarRisk ~HT.410~ED.102~GR.125~
