Putin Praises Pope Francis After His Death, Despite Past War Clashes | Calls Him ‘A Great Man’

Russian President Vladimir Putin offered heartfelt condolences after the death of Pope Francis, calling him “a great man” and praising his efforts to build bridges with the Orthodox Church.

Despite tensions over the Ukraine war and past criticisms—like the Pope warning Patriarch Kirill not to become “Putin’s altar boy”—Putin acknowledged Francis’ role in fostering dialogue and peace.

The two leaders met three times and shared a complex relationship shaped by faith and geopolitics.

The Russian Orthodox Church will send a high-ranking delegation to the funeral.

WWIII Warning: Putin Threatens All-Out War After Trump Deploys U.S. Nukes Near Russian Border [Video]

WWIII Warning: Putin Threatens All-Out War After Trump Deploys U.S. Nukes Near Russian Border

Vladimir Putin has issued a stark warning following the U.S. deployment of B61-12 nuclear bombs to the UK—just 2,800 kilometers from Moscow. The Kremlin accused Washington of provoking nuclear tensions and deliberately escalating global instability. As Trump grows increasingly confrontational over the Ukraine war, Russia says the West is sabotaging strategic dialogue and militarizing Europe. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed the suspension of nuclear talks, citing hostile Western policies. With diplomacy breaking down, fears of World War III are rising fast. #WWIII #PutinWarning #Trump #USNukesInUK #NuclearTension #RussiaUS #B61Bombs #MoscowOnAlert #GeopoliticalCrisis #BreakingNews #PutinVsTrump #NATO #NuclearEscalation #GlobalSecurity #UkraineWar #KremlinResponse #NuclearStandoff #StrategicCrisis #RussiaSpeaks #USUKMilitary #ThermonuclearBombs #WorldOnEdge #Peskov #DiplomacyCollapsed #MilitaryBuildup #TrumpPutinTensions #EuropeanTheatre #USRussiaCrisis #ColdWar2 #WorldWar Also Read Trump Condemns Brazilian Authorities for Alleged Witch Hunt Against Bolsonaro :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-criticises-brazilian-authorities-witch-hunt-bolsonaro-011-7794385.html?ref=DMDesc Israel To Send Ceasefire Team To Qatar A Day Before Trump-Netanyahu Meet :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-to-send-ceasefire-team-to-qatar-a-day-before-trump-netanyahu-meet-7792721.html?ref=DMDesc ‘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 ~ED.420~HT.408~

Trump Ignites World War 3: U.S Deploys Nukes Near Russia For First Time | Putin & Moscow On Target? [Video]

Trump Ignites World War 3: U.S Deploys Nukes Near Russia For First Time | Putin & Moscow On Target?

For the first time since 2008, the U.S. has deployed nuclear weapons to the United Kingdom—triggering fears of global escalation. B61-12 thermonuclear bombs, designed for precision strikes via F-35A jets, were flown in by C-17s from New Mexico. This marks a major shift in NATO’s nuclear posture, placing U.S. nukes just 2,800 km from Moscow. As Trump grows frustrated with Putin over Ukraine, analysts warn the deployment dangerously heightens the risk of direct conflict—possibly World War III. #WWIII #Trump #Putin #RussiaVsUS #NuclearWeapons #B61Bombs #USUKTensions #RussiaNATO #Thermonuclear #F35 #RAF #TrumpPutin #USRussiaCrisis #GlobalSecurity #BreakingNews #USMilitary #NuclearEscalation #Trident #VanguardClass #NewColdWar #TrumpDoctrine #UkraineWar #NATOAlert #NuclearPosture #Deterrence #StealthBombers #C17 #NukesInUK #WorldWarThree #Geopolitics #USUKAlliance #RussiaUnderThreat Also Read Trump Condemns Brazilian Authorities for Alleged Witch Hunt Against Bolsonaro :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-criticises-brazilian-authorities-witch-hunt-bolsonaro-011-7794385.html?ref=DMDesc Israel To Send Ceasefire Team To Qatar A Day Before Trump-Netanyahu Meet :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-to-send-ceasefire-team-to-qatar-a-day-before-trump-netanyahu-meet-7792721.html?ref=DMDesc ‘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 ~ED.194~HT.408~GR.125~

Putin Sends Russian Ships Near Iran | Russia Iran Biggest World War Drill Begins in Caspian Sea

In a striking show of regional power and coordination, Iran and Russia have launched CASAREX 2025—a large-scale joint search-and-rescue naval drill in the Caspian Sea. The three-day exercise, titled “Together for a Safe and Secure Caspian Sea,” is hosted by Iran’s Northern Fleet and involves elite units from the Iranian Navy, IRGC, and Law Enforcement Command. A Russian naval vessel has already entered Iranian waters to begin the operational phase in the Imam Reza (AS) Maritime District. Military observers from other Caspian nations are present, further highlighting growing regional cooperation. Defense experts view this as a major geopolitical signal of Iran-Russia maritime alignment and a direct rebuttal to Western influence in regional waters. This unprecedented drill underscores rising multipolar power dynamics, boosting Tehran and Moscow’s call for autonomous regional security. The Caspian, once overlooked, is fast becoming a strategic stage in the global power competition. #IranRussiaDrills #CASAREX2025 #CaspianSea #NavalPower #SearchAndRescueDrill #IranNavy #RussianNavy #Geopolitics #RegionalSecurity #MultipolarWorld #IRGC #NavalExercise #WesternInfluence #MilitaryCooperation #JointDrill #MaritimeSecurity #CaspianStrategy #RussiaIranAlliance #NavalStrength #ImamRezaDistrict ~ED.102~HT.408~GR.124~
