The Russia-Ukraine war has entered a brutal new phase. In July 2025, Russia unleashed its largest-ever aerial assault on Kyiv, a sign of its growing dominance on the battlefield. But how did we get here? This in-depth report from Oneindia News examines the seismic shifts that have given Vladimir Putin the upper hand after years of stalemate.
The primary catalyst was the 2024 U.S. election and the return of Donald Trump. We analyze how Trump's "America First" policy led to a complete halt in military aid to Ukraine, a stark contrast to the billions pumped in under the Joe Biden administration. From Trump's vow to end the war in "24 hours" to backchannel talks with Moscow, his actions effectively isolated Kyiv and gave Russia a green light to escalate its offensive.
Beyond the White House, Russia itself has adapted. Learning from early failures, Moscow embraced a brutal war of attrition, bolstered by massive support from allies like North Korea and Iran, and an economic lifeline from China. With 450,000 new recruits in 2024, Russia’s overwhelming manpower is crushing Ukrainian defenses. Meanwhile, Ukraine is facing a catastrophic crisis of its own. With its military stretched thin, a severe shortage of soldiers and ammunition, and war fatigue setting in, the nation's survival hangs in the balance. Despite innovative tactics like the "Operation Spider's Web" drone strikes, can President Zelenskyy's forces survive without robust Western support?
This video explains the intricate web of geopolitics, military strategy, and leadership changes that define the current state of the war. As Russia pushes forward, we ask the critical question: Is Ukraine's defeat now inevitable?

The Pentagon has confirmed it is conducting a “capability review” to reassess whether military aid to Ukraine aligns with America’s shifting defense priorities. Chief spokesperson Sean Parnell said the U.S. is taking a hard look at promised weapons deliveries — some of which are now halted — to ensure national interests come first. The move follows the White House’s decision to stop key shipments of air defense ammunition, artillery shells, and missiles previously pledged under the Biden administration.
With President Trump’s “America First” policy reshaping foreign aid strategy, the Pentagon appears to be pivoting away from prolonged foreign entanglements. Ukrainian officials have slammed the halt as betrayal, warning it weakens their resistance against Russia’s advances. Meanwhile, analysts say this could signal a major realignment in U.S. global commitments — and a boost for Russian military strategy. Is Washington walking away from Kyiv?

Tensions between the United States and Iran have escalated once again after Tehran suspended cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) following US and Israeli strikes on its nuclear facilities. US State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce called Iran’s move "unacceptable" and urged Tehran to resume full cooperation under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
In this video, we break down what led to the latest nuclear standoff, the implications of Iran possibly exiting the NPT, the frozen US-Iran nuclear talks, and what Donald Trump and Biden are saying about sanctions and diplomacy. Will Iran return to the negotiating table, or are we on the brink of a new nuclear crisis?
Stay tuned as we unpack the geopolitical stakes, regional fallout, and what this means for global non-proliferation efforts.

A federal court has struck down Donald Trump’s attempt to prematurely end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for over 500,000 Haitian immigrants. The judge ruled the move unlawful, citing procedural violations and the devastating impact on lives built under TPS. The Biden administration had extended protections until 2026 due to Haiti’s ongoing crisis, including gang violence and displacement. The ruling is a major setback for Trump’s deportation agenda and underscores judicial resistance to rolling back immigration relief programs.

In a shocking and explosive speech from the launch of Florida’s controversial “Alligator Alcatraz” migrant detention center, Donald Trump hurled a vicious insult at former President Joe Biden, escalating the already fiery political rhetoric ahead of 2028. Standing beside Ron DeSantis and Kristi Noem, Trump joked about being locked up himself—then turned his fury on Biden in a jaw-dropping verbal attack that’s making headlines nationwide.
Critics have slammed the new facility as inhumane, while supporters hail it as a bold step in immigration enforcement. But it was Trump’s foul-mouthed tirade that stole the spotlight.
Watch the unfiltered moment, reactions from both sides, and what it means for the 2028 race.

In a bold and unequivocal message, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has dismissed US President Donald Trump’s claim of brokering a ceasefire between India and Pakistan. After a high-stakes phone call post-G7 Summit, India clarified that all communications with Pakistan were strictly bilateral — handled via military channels with no third-party involvement. Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri emphasized India’s long-standing position against external mediation and underlined full political unanimity on the issue. Modi also told Trump that India now views terrorism as "actual war, not proxy war", following the deadly Pahalgam attack that claimed 26 lives.

Iran Nuclear Attack – three words that shook global diplomacy. Operation Midnight Hammer was launched with precision and power, featuring U.S. B-2 bombers striking Iran’s nuclear triangle: Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan. President Trump called it a historic triumph, even comparing it to Hiroshima. But was the Iran Nuclear Attack really a knockout punch?
Now, intelligence reports challenge that claim — revealing that Iran’s key assets like enriched uranium and centrifuges were possibly moved before the bombs fell. With the Iran Nuclear Attack now in question, the world waits for clarity. Was it symbolic, strategic, or simply overstated?
A Oneindia Analysis.

Trump likened recent U.S. military strikes on Iran to the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, claiming the overwhelming force of the attack was enough to “end the war.” Speaking at a closed-door fundraiser in Florida, Trump reportedly told supporters, “It was like Hiroshima — one hit, and they backed off. That’s how you stop a war.”

Gaza, already devastated by the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, now faces nuclear threats after Florida Congressman Randy Fine shockingly called for a Hiroshima-style strike during a Fox News appearance. Comparing Israel's war on Gaza to WWII, Fine declared, “We nuked the Japanese twice... that needs to be the same here.” Civil rights group CAIR condemned the statement as genocidal and demanded his removal from Congress, warning his rhetoric endangers Muslims and Palestinians globally and undermines U.S. diplomatic efforts for peace.
