‘Americans Needed To See…’ Vance Drops Bombshell On Zelensky’s White House ‘Blow-up’Amid Ukraine War

US Vice President J.D. Vance has defended his fiery Oval Office clash with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, calling the February confrontation “useful” for Americans to witness. The heated exchange erupted during Zelensky’s Washington visit to secure a deal over Ukraine’s mineral resources. When Donald Trump explained his decision to stay neutral and pursue diplomacy with Moscow instead of ramping up military aid, Zelensky accused him of speaking from the safety of “a nice ocean.” Vance shot back, calling the remark “disrespectful,” and Trump told Zelensky not to lecture Americans. Vance later argued that years of unchecked aid under Joe Biden lacked strategy and failed to advance peace. He said the episode exposed Washington’s frustrations and underlined Trump’s push for a settlement with Moscow. The clash has become a flashpoint in US-Ukraine relations, showing cracks in support for Kyiv as Trump courts a diplomatic end to the war. #Zelensky #Vance #Trump #WhiteHouse #UkraineWar #OvalOffice #Kyiv #Moscow #Biden #Diplomacy #PeaceDeal #UkraineConflict #PoliticalDrama #Washington #USPolitics #RussiaUkraine #Sanctions #Geopolitics #WarCrisis #BreakingNews

VIDEO: Ukrainian Warship BLOWN-UP by Russian Drone Strike in Danube Delta | Putin goes for the Kill

Russia has announced the first successful use of a naval drone in the Ukraine war, claiming it sank the Ukrainian reconnaissance ship Simferopol in the Danube Delta. Moscow released dramatic footage of the strike, showing the unmanned vessel ramming into the ship. Kyiv confirmed the attack, reporting one dead, several wounded, and others missing, though most of the crew survived. The Simferopol, Ukraine’s most advanced intelligence ship since 2014, was seen as a naval symbol—its loss delivering a major psychological blow. #Russia #Ukraine #Simferopol #NavalDrone #SeaDrone #UkraineWar #Putin #Zelensky #Danube #BlackSeaConflict #WarNews #BreakingNews #NavalWarfare #DroneStrike #MilitaryTechnology #RussianMOD #Kyiv #UkraineNavy #Moscow #PsychologicalBlow #Geopolitics #DefenseNews #DroneWarfare #UnmannedSystems #UkraineConflict #UkraineWarUpdate Also Read Jaishankar Meets Putin in Moscow Amid Global Power Shifts :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/external-affairs-minister-s-jaishankar-holds-meeting-with-russian-president-putin-in-moscow-011-7836759.html?ref=DMDesc Amid Trump Tariffs, Jaishankar Urges Stronger India-Russia Trade :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/amid-trump-tariffs-jaishankar-urges-stronger-india-russia-trade-011-7836083.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Assures That US Troops Will Not Be Deployed to Defend Ukraine Amid Ongoing Conflict :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-assures-us-troops-wont-defend-ukraine-011-7834921.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.420~

U.S Military Crippled with only 25% Patriot Missiles Left — Trump’s Reckless Iran war Drains Arsenal

The US military is facing a critical shortage, with only 25% of Patriot missile interceptors remaining due to intense usage in the Middle East. Trump’s escalation of the Iran conflict and the bombing of Iranian nuclear sites have drained vital stockpiles, forcing a temporary halt on weapons transfers to Ukraine. This freeze sparked political turmoil, but was later reversed amid rising tensions with Putin. With Iran’s growing ballistic missile arsenal and limited US production capacity, the Pentagon warns this crisis could jeopardize future military operations worldwide. Stay tuned as this unfolding situation threatens global security. #USMilitaryCrisis #PatriotMissiles #TrumpIranWar #UkraineWeapons #MiddleEastConflict #PentagonShortage #MilitaryStockpile #GlobalSecurity #IranBallisticMissiles #DefenseCrisis
