Russia-Ukraine war anniversary: How one man defied the entire West! | Explainer | Oneindia News

The epicentre of the war between Russia and Ukraine has now shifted to Bakhmut and Soledar in eastern Ukraine.

Intense fighting has been taking place in a battle of dominationand holding out in these region.

The Wagner group of mercenaries are the main combatants from the Russian side in this theatre of the war…which has now shifted from Southern Ukraine to eastern Ukraine.

Around 24 hours back, head of the Wagner mercenary group claimed that his forces had completed the takeover of the Ukrainian town of Soledar… which if confirmed… would mark Moscow’s first major battlefield success since last summer.

But the Ukrainians are disputing this claim.

They say their soldiers have been able to hold strong…and these cities have not fallen yet.

They have rejected the Wagner group’s declaration that Bakhmut and Soledar are now firmly in Russian grips.

But why is the Wagner group…and Russia so adamant and obsessive about these cities?

Why are these two cities being deemed so crucial that they are being referred as spanners in Vladimir Putin’s plan.

Trump ROASTS Zelensky, Calls Him a Salesman Who Looted US|Ukraine Fighting With No Money, No Weapons

Donald Trump declared that the U.S. is no longer directly paying Ukraine but instead profits from arms sales routed through NATO allies. Speaking at the White House, Trump emphasized that NATO partners fund and supply ammunition to Kyiv, while the U.S. benefits from the transactions. He praised President Zelensky, calling him “the greatest salesman,” during their second meeting this year. Trump’s remarks signal a shift in Washington’s Ukraine strategy, stressing NATO’s financial burden and America’s transactional approach to global security. #Trump #UkraineWar #NATO #Zelensky #USPolitics #ForeignPolicy #UkraineConflict #TrumpSpeech #GlobalSecurity #ArmsSales #DefensePolicy #Trump2025 #WhiteHouse #Geopolitics #USNATO #UkraineAid #MilitaryNews #TrumpZelensky #BreakingNews #RussiaUkraineWar #Diplomacy #TrumpStatements #DefenseDeals #GlobalArmsTrade #TrumpPressConference #WorldNews #TrumpOnUkraine #NATOStrategy #TrumpRemarks #UkraineSupport Also Read Trump's India Tariffs 'Aggressive Leverage' To Force Russia To Stop Ukraine war: JD Vance :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trumps-india-tariffs-aggressive-leverage-to-force-russia-to-stop-ukraine-war-jd-vance-7839875.html?ref=DMDesc US President Trump Appoints Close Aide Sergio Gor As India Ambassador :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-trump-appoints-close-aide-sergio-gor-as-india-ambassador-7838355.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Govt Reviews 55 Million US Visa Holders For Possible Deportation :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-govt-reviews-55-million-us-visa-holders-for-possible-deportation-7837279.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~

Ukraine Unveils New DEADLY Neptune Missiles | Putin’s Oreshniks Now Face Fearsome New Rival [Video]

Ukraine Unveils New DEADLY Neptune Missiles | Putin’s Oreshniks Now Face Fearsome New Rival

Ukraine has revealed an upgraded version of its Neptune missile, the same weapon that sank Russia’s Black Sea flagship Moskva in 2022. The new Neptune boasts a range of 1,000 km — tripling the reach of the original model — and potentially carries a warhead twice as powerful. Kyiv showcased the missile in a new Independence Day video, fueling speculation it was used in a May strike on Russia’s Novorossiysk naval port. Analysts suggest the upgrade includes larger fins, improved maneuverability, and possibly new guidance or infrared homing systems. The announcement comes as Russia parades its Oreshniks missiles, sparking a symbolic duel between Ukraine’s homegrown firepower and Putin’s arsenal. With Ukrainian production ramping up alongside the new 3,000 km Flamingo missile, Kyiv signals it no longer depends solely on Western weapons. The Neptune-Orsheniks face-off now symbolizes the technological arms race defining the Russia-Ukraine war. #Ukraine #Russia #NeptuneMissile #Orsheniks #MissileShowdown #Putin #Zelensky #UkraineWar #UkraineWeapons #MissileStrike #Kyiv #Novorossiysk #Moskva #FlamingoMissile #UkraineDefense #RussiaUkraineConflict #LongRangeMissiles #MilitaryTech #UkraineStrikes #BreakingNews ~ED.420~HT.408~

Zelensky’s Most Controversial Outfit Yet? Wears Black Vyshyvanka Outfit Ditching Suit | WATCH

On Ukraine’s 2025 Independence Day, President Volodymyr Zelensky made a bold fashion statement that went beyond clothing—it was pure symbolism. Just six days after wearing a formal black suit at the White House under reported pressure from Donald Trump’s team, Zelensky returned home and ditched the Western formality for a striking black vyshyvanka, Ukraine’s traditional embroidered shirt. The black fabric carried deep meaning: mourning the thousands lost in war while showcasing resilience and national pride. For Ukrainians, the vyshyvanka is more than an outfit—it’s a symbol of cultural survival. Zelensky’s decision to abandon suits “too” for his own nation’s day underscored his defiance of external expectations and his loyalty to Ukrainian traditions. It was not just attire, but wartime messaging: Ukraine’s spirit cannot be tailored to foreign demands. #Zelensky #UkraineIndependenceDay #Vyshyvanka #UkraineWar #UkraineRussia #Trump #WhiteHouse #Kyiv #UkraineCulture #UkraineNews #WarSymbolism #UkraineTradition #UkraineResilience #ZelenskyStyle #UkraineHeritage #UkraineConflict #UkrainePresident #UkrainePride #UkraineSolidarity #UkraineFashion ~HT.410~GR.124~

Putin’s SINISTER Plan: STRIKES Ukraine on its Independence Day | 2 Killed, Several Injured | Watch!

Ukraine’s Independence Day was marred by escalating violence as Russia unleashed a massive drone and missile assault, killing two and injuring 33 in Kherson. Ukraine claims to have shot down 71 of 104 drones, but Moscow says Kyiv was the aggressor, targeting the Kursk nuclear plant and Russian energy sites. Fires erupted at facilities in Kursk and Ust-Luga, though no radiation leaks were reported.
