Big Blow To Putin In Own Country: Video Shows Rebels Flag Raised At Syrian Embassy In Moscow| Watch
In a dramatic turn of events, the Syrian opposition flag was raised at the Syrian Embassy in Moscow on Monday, marking a symbolic blow to Bashar al-Assad's rule.
A group of men, standing on the embassy balcony, proudly raised the green, red, black, and white flag while singing and clapping, as snow fell around them.
This momentous act came just hours after reports confirmed that Assad, along with his family, had fled Syria and sought asylum in Moscow following the collapse of his regime.
Russian authorities, including police officers, were seen at the embassy's entrance as the flag was hoisted, signaling a significant shift in Syria's political landscape.
A representative from the Syrian embassy confirmed that operations were continuing under the new flag.
Meanwhile, a Kremlin source revealed that Assadâs arrival in Moscow occurred on Sunday, following a lightning offensive by rebel forces that led to the fall of Damascus and the end of the 13-year civil war.
Hezbollah Deputy Chief Naim Qassem has firmly rejected any normalization deal with Israel, vowing continued resistance until full Israeli withdrawal and ceasefire conditions are met. Speaking on the final day of Ashura commemorations, Qassem said defending Lebanonâs sovereignty requires no foreign approval and warned against disarmament under U.S. pressure. While open to dialogue, he stressed that any peace must respect Lebanonâs dignity and resistance. The remarks come amid rising regional tensions and renewed calls for a security agreement.

The UK has re-established diplomatic ties with Syria, David Lammy has said, as he made the first visit to the country by a British minister for 14 years. Sky News
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?

Russia has revealed that Washington has âpostponedâ a crucial third round of consultations aimed at resolving bilateral irritants, according to Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova. The talks, initially expected to build on earlier rounds held in Istanbul in February and April, are seen as essential for easing growing U.S.âRussia tensions. While the U.S. hasn't formally canceled the negotiations, the delay has sparked speculation over Washingtonâs intent and diplomatic posture. Zakharova emphasized that contacts remain active behind the scenes and that Moscow still perceives interest from the U.S. in improving ties. The âirritant removalâ dialogue, seen as a rare platform amid escalating rhetoric, now faces renewed uncertainty. Is Washington backing away or recalibrating its approach?

In a powerful display of Russian resolve, President Vladimir Putin reaffirmed Moscowâs strategic objectives during a one-hour phone call with US President Donald Trump. Despite Trump expressing disappointment over the lack of progress on a peace deal, the Kremlin stood its ground, making clear that Russiaâs military and political goals in Ukraine remain unchanged. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov emphasized that Moscow seeks peaceâbut only on its own terms.
He added that Russia is paying close attention to Trumpâs statements but is prioritizing long-term national interests. The call also covered cooperation in energy and space sectors, as well as Middle East stability. Putin reiterated that Russia would not compromise on neutralizing the threats that triggered the special military operation. The Kremlin described the conversation as âconcrete and businesslike,â signaling that Moscow will continue to engage diplomatically, but without sacrificing its core objectives. Russia remains open to talksâbut not surrender.

In a historic and controversial move, Russia has become the first nation to officially recognise the Taliban government in Afghanistan. The announcement was met with cautious optimism on the streets of Kabul, where many Afghans are now urging neighboring powers like Iran, Pakistan, and India to âchoose friendshipâ over continued conflict. Locals say the recognition brings hope for stability, economic revival, and an end to international isolation. âWar brings only destruction. We want peace and cooperation,â said Ahmad Zia Popal, a Kabul resident. The Taliban, still sanctioned by the West and condemned for its human rights recordâespecially on womenâs rightsâcalled Russiaâs decision âcourageousâ and a model for others. While global criticism looms, many ordinary Afghans see this as a turning point. Moscowâs move also raises geopolitical questions as it deepens its footprint in the region amid growing tensions with the West.

US President Donald Trump has described Russian President Vladimir Putin as âa professionalâ who has effectively handled Western sanctions amid the ongoing Ukraine conflict. The remarks followed a one-hour phone call between the two leaders where Trump pressed Putin on ending the war. While acknowledging Moscowâs resilience, Trump hinted that tougher sanctions may be on the way if the conflict continues.
The Kremlin reaffirmed its stance, insisting it would not back down from core goals. Meanwhile, a bipartisan bill in the US Senate proposes a staggering 500% tariff on imports from nations buying Russian energy, escalating the economic pressure. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov dismissed the billâs backer, Senator Lindsey Graham, as a âRussophobe,â while reiterating Russiaâs view that sanctions are illegal and counterproductive. Despite mounting restrictions since 2014, Russia claims its economy has adjusted and domestic industries have strengthened. The geopolitical standoff shows no signs of cooling.

In a striking display of diplomatic unity, Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan declared that Riyadh welcomes Russiaâs role in Middle Eastern affairs during a high-profile press conference with Russian FM Sergey Lavrov in Moscow. The comment signals a major shift in Gulf geopolitics, showing Saudi Arabia's increasing tilt toward Moscow as regional dynamics evolve. Lavrov and Farhan met at the Russian MFA Reception House, emphasizing cooperation on regional security, energy, and investment. Farhan praised Russiaâs involvement as âalways welcome,â underlining a growing partnership despite global Western efforts to isolate Moscow. The press conference further confirms Russia's expanding clout in the Gulf as the Kremlin strengthens alliances outside the West. The talks come amid heightened tensions in the region, and suggest Saudi Arabia is now playing a more independent, multi-vector diplomatic game â balancing its ties between Washington, Moscow, and Beijing.

In a stunning geopolitical shift, Russia has become the first country to officially recognise the Taliban government in Afghanistan. Russian Ambassador Dmitry Zhirnov personally conveyed the recognition to Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi in Kabul, marking what Taliban leaders called a "new phase" in bilateral relations.
The Kremlin, now seeking to strengthen regional influence, sees commercial potential in Afghanistanâs energy, agriculture, and infrastructure sectors, despite global condemnation of the Taliban's human rights record. Since returning to power in 2021, the Taliban have faced international isolation for enforcing brutal Sharia laws and gender apartheid. Yet, Russia has maintained its embassy, signed economic deals, removed the Taliban from its terror list, and labeled them allies in the fight against extremism. As the West tightens sanctions, Russia's move could set a precedent for others considering formal engagement with Kabul's hardline rulers.
