Massive NATO Scandal UNFOLDS | Raids, Arrests & International Corruption Allegations Shake Alliance

NATO faces a deepening crisis as a major corruption probe targets its support and procurement agency. Coordinated raids across six countries, including the U.S., led to multiple arrests over allegations of bribery, money laundering, and misuse of classified data in defense contracts. Belgian authorities confirmed drone and ammunition deals are under scrutiny. NATO says it is cooperating fully. Secretary General Mark Rutte vowed to “clean house” as the scandal threatens procurement efforts amid urgent calls to arm Ukraine. #NATOScandal #ProcurementProbe #NSPA #CorruptionCrisis #DefenseContracts #MilitaryCorruption #MarkRutte #BreakingNews #NATONews #EUROJUST #DefenseSpending #UkraineAid #WeaponsDeal #DefenseIndustry #BriberyProbe #NSPAInvestigation #ClassifiedLeaks #AccountabilityNow #Luxembourg #EuropeanSecurity Also Read Phase III of Sushasan Tihar: CM Vishnu Deo Sai Sacks 3 Officials Over Corruption Charges, FIR Filed :: https://www.oneindia.com/press-release/phase-iii-of-sushasan-tihar-cm-vishnu-deo-sai-sacks-3-officials-over-corruption-charges-fir-filed-4146777.html?ref=DMDesc Delhi Police Files New Case Against Manish Sisodia, Satyendra Jain In Rs 2,000 Crore Classroom Scam :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/delhi-police-files-new-case-against-manish-sisodia-satyendra-jain-in-rs-2-000-classroom-crore-scam-4139175.html?ref=DMDesc Justice Yashwant Varma Sworn in at Allahabad High Court As Judge Amid Ongoing Graft Probe :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/justice-yashwant-varma-sworn-in-at-allahabad-high-court-as-judge-amid-ongoing-graft-probe-4115545.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~GR.124~ED.194~

Zelensky, Macron, Starmer Call Trump After Istanbul Talks Collapse; West Rattled by Putin’s Demands? [Video]

Zelensky, Macron, Starmer Call Trump After Istanbul Talks Collapse; West Rattled by Putin’s Demands?

Zelensky, alongside French President Emmanuel Macron and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, held a high-level phone call with Donald Trump on May 16. The emergency dialogue came as Russia refused a ceasefire and demanded full Ukrainian withdrawal from key regions it doesn't entirely control — Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson. While Ukraine, led by Defense Minister Rustem Umerov, pushed for genuine negotiations, Putin declined direct talks and sent aide Vladimir Medinsky instead. The only breakthrough: a 1,000-for-1,000 prisoner of war swap. #ZelenskyVsPutin #IstanbulTalks #PutinAfraid #UkraineWar #PeaceTalksFail #ZelenskyStatement #RussiaUkraineCrisis #PutinNoShow #EUUnited #TrumpCall #CeasefireNow #UkraineStandsStrong #ShamDelegation #PressureOnRussia #DiplomacyDeadlock Also Read Putin Declares 'Easter Truce' In Russia-Ukraine War Amid US Proposal, Ceasefire To Stay Till Sunday Midnight :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/putin-declares-easter-truce-in-russia-ukraine-war-amid-us-proposal-to-stay-untill-sunday-midnight-4128473.html?ref=DMDesc US Will Drop Ukraine-Russia Peace Efforts If No Progress Within Days: Marco Rubio :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-will-drop-ukraine-russia-peace-efforts-if-no-progress-within-days-marco-rubio-4127371.html?ref=DMDesc Russian Drone Strike Hits Indian Pharma Warehouse In Kyiv, Ukraine Accuses Moscow Of ‘Deliberate Targeting’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russian-drone-strike-hits-indian-pharma-warehouse-in-kyiv-ukraine-accuses-moscow-of-deliberate-tar-4122569.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~PR.152~ED.420~GR.124~

Three MASSIVE Outcomes on First Day of Ukraine Peace Talks in Istanbul | No Ceasefire, War Continues

Russia and Ukraine held their first direct peace talks in over three years on Friday in Turkey, marking a rare diplomatic engagement since the war began. Though the meeting lasted under two hours and yielded no major breakthroughs, both sides agreed to a significant 1,000-for-1,000 prisoner swap. Ukraine is pushing for direct talks between Presidents Zelenskyy and Putin. Each side will now submit a ceasefire proposal. While Ukrainian officials dismissed Russia’s demands as “non-starters,” both nations signaled a cautious willingness to keep talks alive. #RussiaUkraine #PeaceTalks #Diplomacy #Zelenskyy #Putin #UkraineWar #Russia #TurkeyMediation #Ceasefire #POWExchange #WarInUkraine #Geopolitics #UkraineCrisis #PeaceEfforts #InternationalRelations #PutinVsZelenskyy #BreakingNews #UkraineNews #RussiaNews #GlobalPolitics #WarDiplomacy #ConflictResolution #Kyiv #Moscow #UkraineUpdate #RussiaUkraineConflict #FaceToFaceTalks #PeaceNotWar #DiplomaticTalks #WorldNews Also Read West Pitching China-India Against Each Other: Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/west-pitching-china-india-against-each-other-russian-foreign-minister-sergei-lavrov-4155227.html?ref=DMDesc Russia Marks 80th Anniversary of Nazi Germany's Defeat with Grand Victory Day Parade :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/victory-day-parade-russia-80th-anniversary-defeat-nazi-germany-011-4148945.html?ref=DMDesc Indian Army Gets Russia-Made Igla-S Missiles :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/indian-army-gets-russia-made-igla-s-missiles-4143017.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.178~ED.194~GR.124~
