Patriot & Stinger Missiles Halted In Poland As US Freezes Major Arms Shipment To Ukraine |US-Ukraine

In a stunning development, the U.S. has halted a critical weapons shipment to Ukraine that had already been staged in Poland, according to a bombshell report by the Wall Street Journal. The cache includes over two dozen PAC-3 Patriot missiles, more than two dozen Stinger air-defense systems, Hellfire missiles, and 90+ AIM air-to-air missiles designated for Ukraine’s F-16 fighter jets. U.S. administration and congressional officials reportedly confirmed the freeze, which aligns with the ongoing strategic review under the ā€œAmerica Firstā€ doctrine. The move comes amid rising Ukrainian frustration, with officials accusing Washington of endangering their defense readiness.

Turkey On HIGH Alert:  Syria SHUTS Border With Turkey As Massive Wildfires Rage Just 4KM From Border [Video]

Turkey On HIGH Alert: Syria SHUTS Border With Turkey As Massive Wildfires Rage Just 4KM From Border

Syria has shut the Kassab border crossing with Turkey as massive wildfires edge dangerously close to the Turkish province of Hatay. Sparked amid severe drought and recent sectarian unrest, the fires have destroyed swathes of Syria’s green belt and now threaten cross-border regions. Firefighters from Turkey, Jordan, and Iraq joined Syrian civil defense teams to battle the blaze. With Attera burning just 4 km from the Turkish border, Ankara is on high alert. Officials say the spread is due to extreme heat and wind—not arson. #SyriaWildfires #TurkeyBorder #SyriaCrisis #KassabCrossing #Hatay #MiddleEastNews #RedAlert #FireCrisis #DroughtDisaster #ClimateEmergency #Attera #Zahia #CivilDefense #WildfireAlert #TurkeySyria #RegionalTension #ForestFires #GreenBeltLoss #EnvironmentalDisaster #Firefighters #BorderCrisis #BreakingNews #SyriaTurmoil #ClimateImpact #Deforestation #IllegalLogging #Heatwave #WildfireSpread #EasternMediterranean #CrossBorderThreat Also Read Turkey Arrests LeMan Magazine Editor-in-Chief Over Prophet Mohammed Cartoon :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/turkey-arrests-leman-magazine-editor-in-chief-over-prophet-mohammed-cartoon-7799895.html?ref=DMDesc Syria's Government and Kurdish Forces Still Disagree on Merging Plans After Recent Talks :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/syrias-government-kurds-odds-merging-forces-us-envoy-011-7796579.html?ref=DMDesc Turkey Junks Claims Of Its Involvement In Maintenance Of Crashed Ahmedabad-London Air India Dreamliner :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/turkey-junks-claims-of-its-involvement-in-maintenance-of-crashed-ahmedabad-london-air-india-dreamlin-4182063.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.102~

ā€˜READY TO KILL RUSSIANS!’ German Defence Min’s CHILLING THREAT | World War 3 soon?

German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius has issued a stark warning to Moscow, declaring German troops are ā€œready to Kill Russian soldiersā€ if Russia attacks any NATO member. Speaking in Lithuania, Pistorius emphasized Germany’s duty to defend NATO’s eastern flank and said the Bundeswehr is shifting from deterrence to combat readiness. Citing Russia as an existential threat, he called for increased NATO presence in Eastern Europe. Berlin’s new strategic posture reflects a major departure from post-WWII restraint amid fears of a full-scale NATO-Russia conflict. #GermanyVsRussia #BorisPistorius #NATO #EasternFlank #RussiaThreat #WW3Warning #Bundeswehr #Lithuania #Poland #Baltics #GermanMilitary #Putin #NATOAlliance #WarPreparedness #ColdWar2 #EuropeSecurity #RussiaAggression #GermanyDefence #NATOvsRussia #MilitaryEscalation #Vilnius #BreakingNews #NATODefense #GeopoliticalCrisis #BerlinWarning #PistoriusThreat #RussianAggression #NATOWarning #Zelenskyy #EasternEurope 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 ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.124~

Germany BETRAYS Ukraine | Denies supply of TAURUS & PATRIOT MISSILES | Putin Arm-twists Merz

Germany has officially denied Ukraine’s latest request for Taurus cruise missiles, citing NATO obligations and escalation concerns. Defense Minister Boris Pistorius confirmed the long-range system is ā€œoff the tableā€ despite intensified Russian airstrikes. Berlin also ruled out sending additional Patriot systems due to depleted reserves. Moscow had warned that Taurus deliveries would destroy ties with Berlin. As Ukraine’s casualties mount and Western weapon supplies dwindle, fears grow of deeper NATO involvement and a potential escalation into a wider regional conflict. #GermanyUkraine #TaurusMissiles #PutinWarning #UkraineWar #NATO #BerlinMoscow #RussiaUkraineConflict #PatriotMissiles #Pistorius #UkraineCrisis #TaurusDenied #WesternWeapons #ProxyWar #KyivDefense #EscalationRisk #WarCasualties #GermanDefense #PutinThreat #RussiaNATO #MilitaryTensions #GermanyRefuses #UkraineAppeal #CSISReport #WiderConflict #GlobalSecurity #Geopolitics #BreakingNews #UkraineFrontline #MissilePolitics #UkraineUpdates Also Read US Will Send Patriot Missiles To Ukraine: Trump Takes U-Turn Over Arm Deliveries To Kyiv :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-will-send-patriot-missiles-to-ukraine-trump-takes-u-turn-over-arm-deliveries-to-kyiv-011-7800325.html?ref=DMDesc 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 ~GR.124~HT.408~ED.103~

NATO Doubles Down! Netherlands Sends Final F-16s to Ukraine — 3 Already Shot Down in War With Russia

NATO is stepping up its military backing of Ukraine as the Netherlands ships out its final batch of F-16 fighter jets — but the skies aren't safe. Ukraine has already confirmed the loss of three U.S.-made F-16s in combat. Despite mounting risks, Western nations continue their push to modernize Ukraine’s air force as part of the international fighter jet coalition. Denmark, Belgium, Norway, and the Netherlands are now actively arming Kyiv while transitioning to the F-35s themselves. Is NATO’s bet on air superiority paying off — or are these jets flying straight into danger? #F16Ukraine #NetherlandsF16 #UkraineWar #NATOvsRussia #FighterJets #Zelensky #DutchF16 #UkraineRussiaConflict #AirWar #UkraineDefense #MilitaryAid #WesternSupport #Geopolitics #NATOSupport #UkraineAirForce Also Read Pakistan Air force F-16 crashes in Islamabad during parade day rehearsal :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-air-force-f-16-crashes-in-islamabad-during-parade-day-rehearsal-3048159.html?ref=DMDesc Abhinandan Varthamanan: This year, that year, the dog fight which took down a Pak F-16 :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/abhinandan-varthamanan-this-year-that-year-the-dog-fight-which-took-down-a-pak-f-16-3040561.html?ref=DMDesc Pakistan Air Force fighters intercept Kabul bound Spice Jet plane, escort out of its airspace :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/pakistan-air-force-fighters-intercept-kabul-bound-spice-jet-escort-out-of-airspace-2963140.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.274~HT.408~ED.420~GR.124~

Trump’s OWN Cabinet IGNORES Him: Defense Sec. Hegseth FREEZES Ukraine Weapons Without Telling Trump [Video]

Trump’s OWN Cabinet IGNORES Him: Defense Sec. Hegseth FREEZES Ukraine Weapons Without Telling Trump

A shocking new report by CNN claims that US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered a pause on crucial weapons shipments to Ukraine without informing the White House. When questioned about the decision, President Donald Trump appeared to be unaware, denying responsibility by stating, ā€œI don’t know, why don’t you tell me?ā€ This unilateral action by the Pentagon chief has reportedly set off a major scramble within the administration, highlighting a severe breakdown in communication. The pause comes at a perilous moment for Kyiv, as Russia has intensified its missile attacks across Ukraine. Such a disruption in the supply of munitions could have devastating consequences on the battlefield. The lack of coordination was so profound that key figures like Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Special Envoy Keith Kellogg allegedly learned of the aid suspension from press reports, not from the Pentagon or Hegseth himself. Sources cited by CNN suggest that Hegseth's lack of a chief of staff or senior advisers has led to this poor interagency coordination. In an attempt to control the narrative, the Pentagon stated the pause was for an assessment of US stockpiles, while the White House clarified that this review was never intended to halt the flow of aid. Following the backlash, President Trump reportedly ordered the resumption of some arms shipments, including Patriot missiles stationed in Poland. This entire incident raises serious questions about the chain of command, policy clarity, and the stability of US support for Ukraine. #Trump #Ukraine #Hegseth #WhiteHouse #Pentagon #BreakingNews #WorldNews #UkraineWar #OneindiaNews #USAid #USWeapons #Zelensky #UkraineWar #UkraineAid Also Read US President Donald Trump Announces 25% Tariffs On Japan, South Korea :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-donald-trump-announces-25-tariffs-on-japan-south-korea-7794333.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Calls Musk’s America Party Plan ā€˜Ridiculous’ And ā€˜Unworkable’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-calls-musk-s-america-party-plan-ridiculous-and-unworkable-7793443.html?ref=DMDesc America Will Be Richer, Safer, and Prouder: Trump As Big, Beautiful Bill Passes Congress :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-s-big-beautiful-bill-passes-congress-in-big-win-for-us-president-011-7790919.html?ref=DMDesc
