Kyiv left Smoking and Burning |Record-Breaking overnight Russian Missile Barrage Kills 1, Injures 23

Kyiv was left smoldering after an unprecedented overnight assault by Russian forces involving 11 missiles and a record 550 drones. Despite Ukraine’s air defenses, 72 drones penetrated the city, causing widespread destruction, fires, and chaos. At least 23 people were injured and one woman killed near the border in a related attack. The relentless bombardment lasted over eight hours, shattering hopes for a ceasefire following a tense phone call between Presidents Putin and Trump. Ukrainian leaders condemn the strikes as some of the worst since the war began, while warning that halted U.S. weapon shipments could severely impact Ukraine’s defense capabilities.

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

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: 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~

Saudi Arabia Ditch Trump For Putin | MBS Wants Russia In Middle East Not USA | Here's Why!!!

In a striking display of diplomatic unity, Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan declared that Riyadh welcomes Russia’s role in Middle Eastern affairs during a high-profile press conference with Russian FM Sergey Lavrov in Moscow. The comment signals a major shift in Gulf geopolitics, showing Saudi Arabia's increasing tilt toward Moscow as regional dynamics evolve. Lavrov and Farhan met at the Russian MFA Reception House, emphasizing cooperation on regional security, energy, and investment. Farhan praised Russia’s involvement as “always welcome,” underlining a growing partnership despite global Western efforts to isolate Moscow. The press conference further confirms Russia's expanding clout in the Gulf as the Kremlin strengthens alliances outside the West. The talks come amid heightened tensions in the region, and suggest Saudi Arabia is now playing a more independent, multi-vector diplomatic game — balancing its ties between Washington, Moscow, and Beijing. #SaudiArabia #Russia #Lavrov #FaisalBinFarhan #MiddleEast #Geopolitics #Putin #RussiaSaudiTies #Diplomacy #Moscow #SaudiFM #RussiaNews #GulfPolitics #BRICS #SaudiRussiaRelations #MiddleEastPolicy #EnergyPolitics #GlobalSouth #ForeignAffairs #WorldNews ~HT.410~ED.420~

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~

“No Color Revolution in Serbia" - Russia Warns as 140,000 Protesters Clash with Police in Belgrade

Mass protests erupt in Serbia’s capital, Belgrade, as over 140,000 people—led by university students—demand snap elections and the resignation of President Aleksandar Vučić after 12 years in power. Riot police fired tear gas and arrested dozens during violent street clashes that have rocked Slavija Square for hours. Russia has now entered the fray: Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov warns the West to stay out of Serbia’s internal affairs, denouncing attempts to trigger a “color revolution.” With the memory of Novi Sad’s deadly station collapse still fresh, the protest movement is surging—and Moscow is watching.

Lavrov SLAMS Macron, Merz Of Reviving ‘Nazi-Era Instincts’ In Bid To Conquer Europe Again

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has launched a scathing attack on French President Emmanuel Macron and German opposition leader Friedrich Merz, accusing them of attempting to revive Europe's imperialist past. Speaking at a diplomatic event, Lavrov warned that Western leaders were reverting to their “former instincts” of conquest and domination, drawing chilling comparisons between today’s political climate and Nazi-era atrocities. He further stated that “German and Ukrainian Nazis are united by their attitudes toward those they want to enslave,” claiming that just as some “burned Jews,” others now “burn Russians.” Lavrov’s remarks come amid intensifying tensions between Moscow and the West over the war in Ukraine, NATO expansion, and growing European militarization. The inflammatory comments are expected to draw condemnation from European capitals but are in line with Russia’s narrative of positioning itself as a bulwark against Western hegemony and what it calls modern-day fascism. #Lavrov #Macron #Merz #RussiaEuropeTensions #Nazism #UkraineWar #GermanyPolitics #FranceNews #RussianFM #ConqueringEurope #RussianStatement #LavrovSpeech #RussiaVsWest #UkraineConflict #ModernNazism #RussianForeignMinistry #AntiWesternSentiment #RussianNarrative #EuropeanImperialism #LavrovMacronMerz ~HT.410~ED.102~GR.125~

‘Kiev Can’t Strike Without…’ Lavrov BLASTS Starmer And Zelensky | Russia BLAMES UK For Terror…

Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has accused the UK of playing a direct role in Ukraine’s alleged terrorist attacks inside Russia. Speaking at the 'Forum of the Future 2050' in Moscow, Lavrov said Ukraine would be “helpless” without British assistance, citing deadly sabotage incidents and coordinated drone strikes across Russian territory. Lavrov claimed the U.S. has pulled back, leaving Britain “100%” involved. The UK has declined to comment on operational matters, while Moscow’s ambassador to London also pointed to UK-supplied geospatial data as key to recent attacks. #Russia #Ukraine #Lavrov #UKSupport #TerroristAttacks #DroneStrikes #Geopolitics #Moscow #FutureForum #RussiaUKTensions #WarUpdate #BreakingNews #KievAttacks #RussiaUnderAttack #BritishInvolvement #UKraineConflict #DroneWarfare #RussiaUkraineWar #LavrovSpeech #GeoSpatialData 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 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 Trump Blames Putin & Zelenskyy as He Seeks to End Ukraine War :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-blames-putin-zelenskyy-as-he-seeks-to-end-ukraine-war-4109951.html?ref=DMDesc

Russia’s BIGGEST Blunder Yet? Putin Bets On Taliban, Crowns Kabul’s Sharia Kings As Official Rulers

In a stunning geopolitical shift, Russia has become the first country to officially recognise the Taliban government in Afghanistan. Russian Ambassador Dmitry Zhirnov personally conveyed the recognition to Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi in Kabul, marking what Taliban leaders called a "new phase" in bilateral relations. The Kremlin, now seeking to strengthen regional influence, sees commercial potential in Afghanistan’s energy, agriculture, and infrastructure sectors, despite global condemnation of the Taliban's human rights record. Since returning to power in 2021, the Taliban have faced international isolation for enforcing brutal Sharia laws and gender apartheid. Yet, Russia has maintained its embassy, signed economic deals, removed the Taliban from its terror list, and labeled them allies in the fight against extremism. As the West tightens sanctions, Russia's move could set a precedent for others considering formal engagement with Kabul's hardline rulers. #Russia #Taliban #Afghanistan #Putin #Kremlin #TalibanRecognition #Geopolitics #ShariaLaw #HumanRights #GenderApartheid #InternationalRelations #RussiaAfghanistan #MiddleEastPolitics #PutinMoves #GlobalDiplomacy #MoscowKabul #BreakingNews #RussiaNews #AfghanistanNews #WorldNews ~HT.408~

Trump To Host UFC Fight At White House During America250 Bash, Up To 25,000 Fans Expected To Attend

In a bombshell announcement, US President Donald Trump has revealed plans to host a full-fledged UFC championship fight at the White House as part of the America250 celebrations. Speaking at a rally in Iowa, Trump said the event will take place on the White House grounds and could draw 20,000 to 25,000 fans. UFC CEO Dana White is expected to coordinate the unprecedented event. While some Americans are calling it a bold and patriotic move, critics have branded it bizarre, likening it to scenes from the film Idiocracy. The UFC match will be part of a wider series of festivities across the nation, including the “Patriot Games” and reenactments at historic sites. This unconventional announcement has further stirred the already polarizing public reaction to Trump's vision of America250. #TrumpUFC #America250 #WhiteHouseFight #DanaWhite #UFC2025 #TrumpRally #PatriotGames #USPolitics #UFC #FightNight #WHShowdown #TrumpEvent #WhiteHouseNews #USCelebrations #MMA #BidenVsTrump #PoliticalSpectacle #MartialArts #AmericanHistory #Trump2025 ~HT.410~ED.194~GR.124~
