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, Russiaâs 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 âcapability reviewâ to reassess whether military aid to Ukraine aligns with Americaâs shifting defense priorities. Chief spokesperson Sean Parnell said the U.S. is taking a hard look at promised weapons deliveries â some of which are now halted â to ensure national interests come first. The move follows the White Houseâs decision to stop key shipments of air defense ammunition, artillery shells, and missiles previously pledged under the Biden administration.
With President Trumpâs âAmerica Firstâ 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 Russiaâs advances. Meanwhile, analysts say this could signal a major realignment in U.S. global commitments â 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 Iranâs 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 Trumpâs 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 Haitiâs ongoing crisis, including gang violence and displacement. The ruling is a major setback for Trumpâs deportation agenda and underscores judicial resistance to rolling back immigration relief programs.

In a shocking and explosive speech from the launch of Floridaâs controversial âAlligator Alcatrazâ 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 himselfâthen turned his fury on Biden in a jaw-dropping verbal attack thatâs 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 Trumpâs foul-mouthed tirade that stole the spotlight.
Watch the unfiltered moment, reactions from both sides, and what it means for the 2028 race.

Ceasefire hopes dim as the first round of indirect talks between Israel and Hamas ends inconclusively in Doha, Qatar. According to Palestinian sources, the Israeli delegation arrived without the authority to finalize a deal â casting serious doubt on Netanyahuâs commitment to ending the war. Meanwhile, Gaza remains under siege, with over 57,000 Palestinians killed, infrastructure destroyed, and hostages still held captive. As Netanyahu heads to Washington for a third meeting with President Trump, pressure mounts from both international mediators and citizens at home demanding action.
Is a deal still possible â or is peace slipping further away?

Following the Israeli Air Force's (IAF) massive 'Operation Black Flag' air campaign across Yemen, a significant question has emerged: With global powers like Russia, China, and North Korea racing to deploy hypersonic missiles, why does Israel, a military powerhouse, continue to rely on conventional fighter jets? This report delves into the core of Israel's military doctrine to uncover the answer.
The analysis reveals that Israel's strategic decision is not a sign of weakness, but a calculated choice based on its unique geopolitical reality. The IAF's elite fleet, including advanced F-15, F-16, and F-35 fighter jets, offers unparalleled flexibility and precision for striking nearby threats in Gaza, Yemen, or Iran. Unlike hypersonic missiles, which are designed for targets thousands of kilometers away, jets allow for real-time target adjustments, significantly reducing collateral damage against groups like the Houthis. This adaptability was proven during the 2025 strikes on Iranian sites.

Just hours after launching the massive "Operation Black Flag" airstrikes on Houthi targets in Yemen, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu departs for Washington to meet with President Donald Trump.
In his statement before leaving, Netanyahu reaffirmed his mission: to crush Hamas, confront Iran and Hezbollah, bring all hostages home, and ensure Gaza will never again threaten Israel. This marks his third meeting with Trump since the 2024 elections â a critical moment for U.S.-Israel coordination as regional tensions boil over.
With fire raining on the Red Sea and new alliances forming, Netanyahuâs visit could reshape the Middle East â militarily and diplomatically.

In a dramatic escalation, the Israeli Air Force launched a precision night raid targeting the Houthi-controlled Galaxy Leader cargo ship â a vessel seized in 2023 and used as a propaganda symbol by Yemenâs Houthi forces. The IDF says the ship was repurposed for surveillance and terror coordination in the Red Sea, following the year-long captivity of 25 international crew members.
This strike was part of Israelâs broader retaliation campaign under "Operation Black Flag" against Houthi infrastructure. Defense Minister Israel Katz warned that any tool used to threaten Israeli citizens would be eliminated â and this ship was no exception.
Footage shows the Galaxy Leader engulfed in flames as Israeli fighter jets dropped dozens of munitions across western Yemen, including ports and power stations. The Red Sea is now a live combat zone, and the message from Israel is clear: No more warnings.

In a major escalation of the Red Sea conflict, Israel has launched Operation âBlack Flag,â a powerful military campaign targeting key Houthi-controlled infrastructure in Yemen. Israeli warplanes struck ports, power stations, and the seized vessel âGalaxy Leader,â accusing the Houthi forces of using civilian infrastructure to funnel Iranian weapons and coordinate regional attacks. Defense Minister Israel Katz warned that Yemen would now be treated like Tehran, promising continued strikes against any threat to Israeli security. This marks one of Israelâs most aggressive operations beyond its borders in recent years.
