From Football to Politics: Former Manchester City Star Kavelashvili Elected President of Georgia

Mikhail Kavelashvili, a former Manchester City footballer, has been elected as the new president of Georgia, with over 200 MPs backing his candidacy.

This marks a significant shift as Georgia's presidential elections have traditionally been held by popular vote.

However, Kavelashvili’s appointment has sparked protests from the opposition, accusing the ruling party of undermining democracy.

As Kavelashvili steps into office, the country faces growing tension between pro-EU opposition and the ruling Georgian Dream party, further fueling political unrest.

Will Kavelashvili’s presidency bring stability or deepen the divide in Georgia?

Europe left red-faced as Trump mocks Iran and NATO while Rutte showers him with flattery at summit

At NATO’s 2025 summit in The Hague, U.S. President Donald Trump hijacked the global stage — demanding 5% defense spending, mocking Iran and Israel as “kids in a schoolyard,” and claiming NATO leaders secretly praise him. But the real shock? NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte calling Trump a “truly extraordinary peacemaker” — even repeating the bizarre line: “Daddy, you’re my daddy.” European diplomats were stunned, embarrassed, and silent — as Trump turned a strategic summit into a personal victory lap. Critics say the event was scripted to feed Trump’s ego, not focus on Ukraine, Iran, or NATO’s long-term survival. So… is NATO collapsing under political flattery? Or is Trump just reshaping it on his own terms? #Trump #NATO #TrumpSpeech #MarkRutte #NATO2025 #Iran #Ukraine #Geopolitics #EuropeNews #DefenseSpending #TrumpMocking #TrumpNews #GlobalPolitics #USForeignPolicy #TrumpVsEurope #TheHagueSummit #TrumpNATO2025 #TrumpRutte #TrumpDaddy #TrumpIran #TrumpNATO Also Read ‘Great American Pilots Very Upset’: Trump Flips Again on Iran Strike Damage :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-debates-us-strikes-impact-on-iran-nuclear-programme-011-7783495.html?ref=DMDesc US President Trump Hosts Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir Amid Regional Tensions :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-trump-hosts-pakistan-army-chief-asim-munir-011-4185603.html?ref=DMDesc Mike Johnson Dismisses Elon Musk's Criticism of Republican Tax and Budget Bill :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/mike-johnson-downplays-musks-influence-on-republican-tax-bill-011-4175853.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~PR.274~ED.194~GR.124~

NATO chief calls Trump ‘daddy’ after F-bomb rant on Iran & Israel |Rutte defends expletive diplomacy

In a bizarre twist at the NATO summit, Secretary General Mark Rutte defended U.S. President Donald Trump’s foul-mouthed outburst over the Iran-Israel ceasefire collapse — calling it “daddy using strong language.” The expletive-laden rant came just hours after Trump announced a truce that quickly fell apart. During a press conference, Trump compared the two nations to schoolyard kids, prompting Rutte to chime in with the now-viral “daddy” remark. Trump doubled down with jokes and leaked private texts showing Rutte praising his leadership.

BREAKING: Trump CALLS Putin To Decide Ukraine's Future | U.S Ready To Accept Russian Victory? [Video]

BREAKING: Trump CALLS Putin To Decide Ukraine's Future | U.S Ready To Accept Russian Victory?

In a stunning development, Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced he will speak with U.S. President Donald Trump by phone. The announcement came during a business forum on July 3, 2025, with Putin offering no details on the agenda before leaving abruptly for the call. Minutes later, Trump confirmed the 10 AM ET conversation on social media, sending shockwaves through the international community. This high-stakes call comes at a critical moment in the Russia-Ukraine war. Russian forces have been making significant territorial gains, recently claiming full control over the strategic region of Luhansk. This major blow to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's government has been exacerbated by a slowdown in crucial military support from the United States. Moscow has intensified its aerial attacks, and the geopolitical landscape appears to be shifting, with both NATO and the U.S. seemingly easing their harsh rhetoric against Putin's actions. Speculation is now rampant over the purpose of the Putin-Trump discussion. Key questions remain unanswered: What will they discuss? Will this call formalize a Russian victory and signal the end of the war? This move is particularly significant given Trump's previous vow to end the war in "24 hours," a promise he has struggled to fulfill since taking office. The world is watching to see if this phone call will reshape global security and determine the final fate of Ukraine. #PutinTrumpCall #RussiaUkraineWar #DonaldTrump #VladimirPutin #BreakingNews #WorldNews #Ukraine #Zelenskyy #NATO #USPolitics #OneindiaNews Also Read Ukraine Confirms F-16 Loss, Pilot Killed While Intercepting Russian Missiles And Drones :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/ukraine-confirms-f-16-loss-pilot-killed-while-intercepting-russian-missiles-and-drones-7786265.html?ref=DMDesc Russia Unleashes Record Overnight Drone Attack On Ukraine Amid Peace Talks :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-unleashes-record-overnight-drone-attack-on-ukraine-amid-peace-talks-4176255.html?ref=DMDesc Ukrainian Ex-DJ Named As Alleged 'Mastermind' Of Russia Airbase Drone Attacks :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/ukrainian-ex-dj-named-as-alleged-mastermind-of-russia-airbase-drone-attacks-4171927.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.420~

‘Trump Can Go F**k Himself’:  Ukraine BLASTS U.S For Sudden Suspension of Weapons Aid | U.S-Ukraine [Video]

‘Trump Can Go F**k Himself’: Ukraine BLASTS U.S For Sudden Suspension of Weapons Aid | U.S-Ukraine

The United States has abruptly paused deliveries of key military aid—air defence ammunition, missiles, and artillery shells—to Ukraine under Trump’s “America First” doctrine. Ukrainian MPs blasted this move, insisting “the United States is no longer our ally.” Mariana Bezuglaya and Solomiya Bobrovskaya accused the administration of sidelining Kyiv, even summoning the US chargé d’affaires to demand resumed support. President Trump told Zelensky at The Hague that US systems are “very hard to get” and prioritized for national and Israeli defense. Meanwhile, Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell confirmed a “capability review” to align aid with US interests. Kiev warns that this retrenchment could empower Russian advances toward Dnipro and Sumy, diminishing Ukraine’s defence. Moscow, unburdened, claims strategic initiative on the frontline. The aid suspension represents a major shift in US foreign policy and risks weakening Ukraine’s resistance as the war grinds on. #Ukraine #USUkraine #Trump #AmericaFirst #MilitaryAid #WeaponSuspension #Pentagon #CapReview #Dnipro #Sumy #UkraineRussia #Zelensky #NATO #ForeignPolicy #AirDefense #Missiles #Artillery #USForeignPolicy #UkraineWar #USInternational

NATO Collapse Begins? Slovak PM Fico Stuns NATO with Pro-Russia Shift |€20B Russian Oil Deal at Risk

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico stunned NATO and EU allies after rejecting proposed sanctions on Russian energy, calling them “ideological” and harmful to Slovakia’s economy. At a press conference, Fico questioned why Slovakia should pay high gas prices due to the Ukraine conflict, citing a €16–20 billion contract with Gazprom lasting until 2034. He warned of potential lawsuits if the contract is broken and predicted that “we’ll all cooperate with Russia again.” His remarks underline a growing rift in Europe over energy strategy and long-term Russian ties. #RussiaSanctions #RussiaUkraineWar #Russia #Ukraine #NATO #Slovakia #NATOAllies #Putin #RussianOil #SlovakPM #GasPrices #EnergyCrisis #RussiaUkraine #EuropeanUnion #GasContract #FicoStatement #EnergyNews #SlovakiaRussia #BreakingNews #RobertFico Also Read 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 'Something Happened To This Guy': Trump Slams Putin For Russia's Fresh Attack On Ukraine :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/something-happened-to-this-guy-trump-slams-putin-for-russias-fresh-attack-on-ukraine-4163675.html?ref=DMDesc Donald Trump Says Russia-Ukraine Ceasefire Talks To Begin 'Immediately' Following Call With Putin :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trump-says-russia-ukraine-ceasefire-talks-to-begin-immediately-following-call-with-putin-4158165.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.194~GR.125~

Putin UNLEASHES on Macron | Blames THE WEST for DESTROYING Ukraine, Escalating War

In their first call since the Ukraine war began, Russian President Vladimir Putin confronted French President Emmanuel Macron over Western involvement in the conflict. Putin blamed NATO expansion and years of Western military support for turning Ukraine into an “anti-Russia bridgehead.” He warned Macron that any French troops in Ukraine would be seen as legitimate targets, risking escalation to World War III. Putin reaffirmed Russia’s terms for peace, insisting any resolution must reflect battlefield realities and end Western interference. #Putin #Macron #UkraineWar #RussiaFrance #WWIIIWarning #NATOTensions #UkraineCrisis #PeaceTalks #Geopolitics #PutinMacronCall #RussiaVsWest #KremlinStatement #FrenchTroops #NATOExpansion #GlobalSecurity #WesternInterference #PutinWarns #UkraineConflict #CeasefireDebate #RussiaUkraine #MilitaryEscalation #MacronDiplomacy #PutinSpeech #StrategicStandoff #TerritorialReality #UkrainePeace #BreakingNews #ForeignPolicy #WarTalks #AntiRussiaBridgehead #NATOPosturing Also Read PM Modi’s ‘Twitter’ Joke To Macron At G7 Summit Goes Viral — Watch The Candid Moment :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pm-modi-s-twitter-joke-to-macron-at-g7-summit-goes-viral-watch-the-candid-moment-4184813.html?ref=DMDesc French President Macron Whispers Something In Italian PM Meloni's Ear, Her Eye Rolling Reaction Goes Viral :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/french-president-macron-whispers-something-in-italian-pm-meloni-ear-her-eye-rolling-reaction-goes-4184371.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 ~HT.318~ED.103~

U.S FIRES BACK At Lavrov’s NATO Collapse Threat | Putin FUMES Over Increased NATO Defense Spending

The U.S. State Department has responded sharply to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s claim that increased NATO defense spending will lead to the alliance’s collapse. Lavrov criticized the West's growing military budgets, warning it will destabilize Europe. The U.S. rejected the remarks, stating that enhanced European defense spending strengthens regional security and counters Russian aggression. As tensions rise, President Putin accuses NATO of hypocrisy, claiming these moves will ultimately harm the continent. The transatlantic alliance shows no signs of retreating under Russian pressure. #NATO #Russia #USStateDepartment #Lavrov #DefenseSpending #Putin #Geopolitics #NATOAlliance #WesternDefense #MilitaryBudget #EuropeSecurity #USRussiaTensions #GlobalSecurity #UkraineWar #NATOStrength #Diplomacy #LavrovSpeech #NATOCollapse #PutinStatement #NATOvsRussia #TransatlanticAlliance #DefenseNews #ForeignPolicy #NATOExpansion #ColdWarTensions #EasternEurope #SecurityPolicy #WashingtonMoscow #NATOFunding #PutinVsNATO Also Read This NATO Member Country Can Provide India Battle-Tested Unmanned Weapons, Tech :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/this-nato-member-country-can-provide-india-battle-tested-unmanned-weapons-tech-4175213.html?ref=DMDesc US-Europe Divide Deepens Over Ukraine As Trump Challenges NATO's Approach :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-europe-divide-deepens-over-ukraine-as-trump-challenges-natos-approach-4080283.html?ref=DMDesc Zelensky Willing To Step Down If It Secures Ukraine's NATO Membership: 'Immediately' If Necessary :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/zelensky-willing-to-step-down-if-it-secures-ukraines-nato-membership-immediately-if-necessary-4078905.html?ref=DMDesc ~GR.125~HT.408~

Another MAJOR WIN For Putin As Russian Flag Flies Over Melovoye, Ukraine Troops Pushed Back Again

Russian troops have reportedly taken control of Melovoye in Ukraine’s Kharkov region and raised the Russian flag over the liberated settlement. According to military sources, servicemen from the 83rd Motorised Rifle Regiment and 72nd Motorised Rifle Division were involved in the offensive. The operation, part of a larger strategy to push Ukrainian forces away from Russia’s border, aims to establish a “security zone” to safeguard civilians in nearby Russian regions. The Sever Group of Forces, supported by assault units, has gradually advanced through fortified positions, capturing both equipment and Ukrainian personnel. The symbolic act of hoisting the flag signals growing Russian control in strategic settlements near the front. This development underscores the intensifying nature of ground operations along the Kharkov front, as Russia presses to fortify its territorial gains. #RussiaUkraineWar #Melovoye #KharkovRegion #RussianArmy #UkraineFrontline #SecurityZone #RussianFlag #BorderOffensive #UkraineWar2025 #SeverGroup #RussianAdvance #WarTrophies #AFUCaptured #RussianMilitary #KharkivOffensive #GroundOperations #UkraineConflict #FlagRaised #EasternFront #RussiaUkraineUpdate ~HT.318~ED.346~

Russia Bombards Kiev Overnight: 13 Strikes Ignite City—Shocking Drone & Missile Attack Caught on Cam

Russia Bombards Kiev Overnight: Kiev was rocked by a wave of explosions early Friday morning as Ukrainian officials reported a massive overnight barrage of Russian missiles and drones. At least 13 impacts were recorded across the capital, with multiple fires lighting up the skyline in dramatic fashion. Blurred footage circulating on Ukrainian social media shows the chaos as civilians sheltered from the blasts. Ukrainian authorities claim the strikes targeted non-residential areas, but falling debris injured over a dozen people and caused fires in residential neighborhoods. The Russian Ministry of Defense has not yet issued a statement. The attacks came just hours after a reported phone call between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, in which Trump urged Moscow to halt the fighting. #KievStrikes #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraine #MissileStrike #DroneAttack #KievExplosions #UkraineNews #Putin #KyivAttack #WarFootage #BreakingNews #RussiaStrikesKiev #KievUnderAttack #Zelensky #MilitaryTensions #UkraineCrisis #AirRaid #NightStrike ~PR.274~HT.408~
