Russia BLASTS West for Refugee Crisis: ‘Double Standards’ and Callous Neglect of Dying Innocents

In a powerful statement at the UN, Russia's Deputy Permanent Representative, Maria Zabolotskaya, condemned Western countries for their "double standards" in addressing the global refugee crisis. Highlighting the devastating impact of the Gaza conflict, she criticized the reluctance of Western nations to provide sufficient humanitarian aid to refugees, particularly those fleeing from war-torn regions like Syria, Afghanistan, and Sudan. Zabolotskaya also pointed out the hypocrisy in Western countries voicing concern over Ukrainian refugees while ignoring the plight of those seeking asylum in Russia. She called out the EU's failure to provide adequate support to refugees, especially those crossing the Mediterranean, and the deadly consequences of this inaction. With lives at stake and no accountability, the international community must confront the moral and legal crisis unfolding before our eyes. #RefugeeCrisis #Gaza #DoubleStandards #UN #HumanitarianCrisis #RussiaUN #MariaZabolotskaya #WesternHypocrisy #Refugees #InternationalLaw #GlobalPolitics #MediterraneanCrisis #Syria #Afghanistan #UkraineRefugees #SaveTheRefugees ~PR.274~HT.408~ED.102~GR.124~

White House Correspondents' Dinner 2025: No Trump, No Jokes, No… | US | Washington | WATCH

The White House Correspondents' Dinner this year was missing key figures and moments, marking an offbeat, lackluster evening. President Trump, who skipped the event as usual, left no surprise. But the true shock came when comedian Amber Ruffin, the originally planned entertainer, was fired after sharp political commentary, leaving the dinner without its comedic edge. The event, once a venue for bold speeches and satire, became a more somber affair, with journalists recognizing each other's work in a vacuum, devoid of the critical jabs and humor that once defined it. #WHCD2025 #TrumpSkips #AmberRuffin #PressDinner #WhiteHouseCorrespondents #NoComedian #Journalism #PressFreedom #PoliticalSatire #ComedyFired #DinnerDrama #PoliticalJabs #FreedomOfSpeech #MediaBuzz #WashingtonEvents #SatireGone #PressAwards #WhiteHouseJournalists #DinnerFail #LackOfComedians #WhiteHousePolitics ~ED.346~GR.344~HT.96~

After meetings in D.C., JD Vance joined Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni for an Easter lunch in Rome. Meloni, who praised her "fantastic" White House meeting, reaffirmed her support for Trump’s stance against "woke ideology." Trump, who has been critical of the EU, made an exception for Meloni, his only invited EU leader in January. Meloni is pushing for U.S. tariffs on the EU to be reduced, promising increased gas purchases and Italian investments in the U.S. Trump accepted her invitation to meet European leaders in Rome, but no date has been set. #GiorgiaMeloni #JDVance #Trump #USItalyRelations #EULeaders #PoliticalTies #Tariffs #Italy #USPolitics #MeloniInRome #TradePolicy #WokeIdeology #TrumpSupporters #ItalianInvestments #GasPurchases #TrumpEU #Diplomacy #EconomicPolicy #USForeignPolicy #WhiteHouseMeeting #EUExceptions #USItalyRelations #MeloniVisit #PoliticalAllies #EUTrade #GlobalPolitics #USTariffs #TrumpAdministration #PoliticalDynamics #MeloniTrump #EuropeRelations Also Read US Will Drop Ukraine-Russia Peace Efforts If No Progress Within Days: Marco Rubio :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-will-drop-ukraine-russia-peace-efforts-if-no-progress-within-days-marco-rubio-4127371.html?ref=DMDesc China Brushes Off US Tariff Threats, Warns Against 'Numbers Game' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/china-brushes-off-us-tariff-threats-warns-against-numbers-game-4126079.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Administration Freezes USD 2.2 Billion In Grants To Harvard University :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-administration-freezes-usd-2-2-billion-in-grants-to-harvard-university-4124075.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.410~GR.121~
