NATO Allies Bows To Trump’s 5% Defence Spend Target Demand, Says US Defence Chief Hegseth

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has said he is confident NATO allies will commit to Donald Trump’s bold demand of raising defence spending to 5% of GDP. Speaking after a high-stakes meeting in Brussels, Hegseth noted there was near-consensus among member states, with many already surpassing the 2% benchmark. The final commitment is expected during the Hague summit later this month. NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte also supported a split plan—3.5% for hard military power and 1.5% for broader security needs—calling it a historic turning point in alliance capability. #NATO #TrumpDefenseDemand #PeteHegseth #5PercentGDP #DefenseSpending #NATOSummit #MarkRutte #MilitaryBudget #GlobalSecurity #USDefense #EuropeanSecurity #HagueSummit #TrumpPolicy #NATOTargets #PentagonNews #MilitaryStrategy #EasternEurope #HardPower #NATOCapability #NATOGDPGoal Also Read Trump Proposes Allowing Ukraine and Russia to Fight Before Seeking Peace :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-ukraine-russia-fight-for-a-while-011-4173761.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Announces Travel Ban Affecting 12 Countries, Set To Go Into Effect Monday :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-announces-travel-ban-affecting-12-countries-set-to-go-into-effect-monday-4172715.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Doubles Steel, Aluminium Tariffs To 50%, Excludes UK: "Vital For America's 'National Security'" :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-doubles-steel-aluminium-tariffs-to-50-excludes-uk-vital-for-americas-national-security-4171703.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.125~

‘Kyiv Will Not Accept….’ Zelensky BLASTS Russia’s ‘Peace Memorandum’ | Russia-Ukraine War Latest

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has exposed Russia’s latest so-called “peace memorandum” as an outright ultimatum, stating Moscow demanded Ukraine recognize its occupation of Crimea and other regions, fully withdraw troops, and accept neutrality. The second round of Istanbul talks yielded humanitarian gains, like POW swaps, but no ceasefire. Zelensky vowed not to discuss sovereignty or concede territory. While Ukraine offered prisoner exchanges and EU/NATO alignment, Russia refused compromise. The U.S. remains frustrated with Moscow’s hardline stance amid ongoing war escalation. #Zelensky #RussiaUkraineWar #PeaceTalks #Putin #RussiaUltimatum #UkraineTerritories #Ceasefire #Crimea #Donetsk #Luhansk #Kherson #Zaporizhzhia #Kyiv #IstanbulTalks #RussianAggression #UkrainianSovereignty #EU #NATO #PrisonerSwap #Trump Also Read 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 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 Trump Proposes Allowing Ukraine and Russia to Fight Before Seeking Peace :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-ukraine-russia-fight-for-a-while-011-4173761.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.336~

Russia’s Merciless Missile Strikes Kyiv & Odesa–Hospital Hit, Dozens Wounded in Early‑Morning Horror

In the early hours of June 10, Russian forces unleashed a devastating barrage of ballistic missiles and attack drones on Kyiv and Odesa. Explosions ripped through Shevchenkivskyi and Obolonskyi districts, with cars and school grounds damaged, while air defenses scrambled to intercept incoming threats. Two men were killed and at least twelve civilians wounded—including shock victims—and a maternity hospital in Odesa sustained significant damage. Kyiv’s mayor and emergency services race against time amidst new waves of drones, urging residents to remain in shelters as Ukraine’s defenders minimize further tragedy. #KyivUnderAttack #OdesaStrike #RussiaUkraineWar #MissileBarrage #DroneAttack #UkraineDefenders #MaternityHospital #WarUpdate #BreakingNews #AirDefense 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 Trump Proposes Allowing Ukraine and Russia to Fight Before Seeking Peace :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-ukraine-russia-fight-for-a-while-011-4173761.html?ref=DMDesc Ukraine Hits Russia's Crimea Bridge Using 1,100 Kilograms Of Explosives :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/ukraine-hits-russias-crimea-bridge-using-1-100-kilograms-of-explosives-4171479.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.274~HT.408~ED.103~

Who Is Geert Wilders? From ‘Moroccan Scum’ to ‘Ban the Quran’; Man Behind Europe’s Anti-Islam Agenda

Dutch far-right leader Geert Wilders has long been one of Europe’s most polarizing figures. From calling Moroccans “scum” to demanding a ban on mosques and the Quran, Wilders has built his political career on fierce anti-Islam rhetoric. But who is the man behind the controversies? Why does he command such influence — and fear — in the Netherlands and beyond? This video unpacks Wilders’ rise, his inflammatory speeches, the fallout from his policies, and how he just triggered a political earthquake in Dutch politics. #GeertWilders #IslamDebate #DutchPolitics #FarRightEurope #GeertWildersSpeech #AntiIslam #PVV #NetherlandsPolitics #WildersControversy #BanTheQuran #EuropeanElections #ImmigrationDebate #WildersVsIslam #DutchElections #IslamInEurope Also Read Pakistan: Religious Leader Shot Dead In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-religious-leader-shot-dead-in-khyber-pakhtunkhwa-4119325.html?ref=DMDesc Shahid Afridi Pressured Me To Convert To Islam: Pakistan's Ex-Cricketer Danish Kaneria :: https://www.oneindia.com/sports/cricket/shahid-afridi-pressured-me-to-convert-to-islam-pakistans-ex-hindu-cricketer-danish-kaneria-4094081.html?ref=DMDesc Saddam Becomes Shivshankar: Muslim Man Converts To Hinduism To Marry Girlfriend Of 10 Years :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/saddam-becomes-shivshankar-muslim-man-converts-to-hinduism-to-marry-girlfriend-of-10-years-4047465.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.152~HT.408~ED.194~GR.125~

Political EARTHQUAKE in Netherlands | Govt FALLS as Far-right leader walks-out over migration policy

Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof has resigned after far-right leader Geert Wilders pulled his PVV party from the ruling coalition, collapsing the fragile government just 11 months into power. Wilders quit over rejected proposals to deport refugees, shut shelters, and seal borders—measures legal experts say violate human rights laws. Coalition allies slammed him for prioritizing ego over unity. New elections are expected in October, as the Netherlands enters a political limbo amid growing tensions over immigration and national identity. #DickSchoof #GeertWilders #DutchPolitics #NetherlandsGovernment #CoalitionCollapse #PVV #ImmigrationCrisis #AsylumPolicy #FarRightExit #VVD #DutchElections #PoliticalTurmoil #WildersQuits #CaretakerGovernment #RefugeeDebate #EUHumanRights #NetherlandsNews #RadicalProposals #BBB #ParliamentCrisis #DutchPMResigns #OctoberElections #EuropeanPolitics #WildersControversy #AsylumLaw #UNRefugeeConvention #ImmigrationStandoff #FarRightEurope #WildersExit #GovernmentFall #BreakingPolitics Also Read Geert Wilders, Anti-Islamic Leader, Who Backed Nupur Sharma Over Prophet remark, To Be Netherlands' Next PM :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/geert-wilders-anti-islamic-leader-who-backed-nupur-sharma-over-prophet-remark-to-be-netherlands-3689045.html?ref=DMDesc Dutch Donald Trump Geert Wilders Wins Big in Netherlands Election :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/dutch-donald-trump-geert-wilders-wins-big-in-netherlands-election-gen-3688663.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.103~HT.318~GR.124~
