BREAKING: Putin APPROVES Security BUFFER Zone Along Ukraine Border | Cross-Border Attacks On Rise

Russia has approved a security buffer zone along the Ukraine border, President Putin confirmed. The move comes after recent cross-border unrest in Kursk, Belgorod, and Bryansk. Putin said Russian troops are now actively working to stabilize and secure these regions. Alongside military efforts, the Kremlin is focusing on rebuilding infrastructure and supporting local communities. Meanwhile, Moscow has received Ukraine’s list for a 1,000-for-1,000 prisoner exchange, with negotiations already underway.

Trump’s MAHA Report Claims ‘Sickest Generation in U.S. History’ | Vaccines, Food, Toxins BLAMED [Video]

Trump’s MAHA Report Claims ‘Sickest Generation in U.S. History’ | Vaccines, Food, Toxins BLAMED

The Trump administration’s “MAHA Report” claims today’s children are the sickest generation in U.S. history, blaming environmental toxins, ultra-processed foods, and even vaccines. The report, led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., casts doubt on mainstream science, raising alarms over chronic disease, mental health, and overmedication. Critics say many claims misrepresent research and reflect anti-vaccine rhetoric. While it calls for urgent change, key health issues like doctor shortages and medical costs are left unaddressed. A “prescription” is expected in August—sparking major controversy in medical and political circles. #MAHAReport #Trump #RFKJr #HealthCrisis #Vaccines #Nutrition #EnvironmentalToxins #ProcessedFood #ChildHealth #ChronicDisease #MentalHealthCrisis #VaccineDebate #ChemicalExposure #Glyphosate #Atrazine #FoodIndustry #AntiVax #BigPharma #HealthPolicy #USHealth #WellnessPolitics #Overmedicalization #KennedyReport #ToxicNation #PublicHealth #HealthNews #TrumpAdministration #MAHAMovement #ObesityCrisis #VaccineSchedule #HealthControversy Also Read Congress Slams Centre After Trump Reiterates India-Pakistan Ceasefire Claims: 'Why This Thundering Silence?' :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/congress-slams-centre-after-trump-reiterates-india-pakistan-ceasefire-claims-why-this-thundering-s-4160453.html?ref=DMDesc India-Pakistan Directly Negotiated Ceasefire: S Jaishankar Dismisses Trump's Mediation Claims :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/india-pakistan-directly-negotiated-ceasefire-s-jaishankar-dismisses-trumps-mediation-claims-4160395.html?ref=DMDesc US Defence Department Accepts Boeing 747 From Qatar For Trump's Use :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-defence-department-accepts-boeing-747-from-qatar-for-trumps-use-4160231.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.420~

NBC Reporter CHALLENGES Trump Team Over White Crosses Video | WH Press Secretary FIRES BACK

A tense exchange erupted during a White House briefing as Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt defended Donald Trump's controversial video shown to South African President Cyril Ramaphosa. NBC's Yamiche Alcindor challenged the clip’s accuracy, saying it falsely portrayed a genocide of white farmers. The video featured dozens of crosses, allegedly representing slain farmers—though Alcindor noted they honored a single couple. Leavitt pushed back, claiming white South Africans are being killed and persecuted due to race. The moment underscores rising tensions around Trump’s rhetoric on race and global narratives. #WhiteHouse #KarolineLeavitt #DonaldTrump #SouthAfrica #GenocideClaim #NBCNews #YamicheAlcindor #FarmMurders #MediaClash #TrumpVideo #PressBriefing #OvalOffice #PoliticalControversy #Misinformation #GlobalPolitics #RaceAndPolitics #USNews #SouthAfricaPolitics #FactCheck #NewsClash #RacialNarratives #TrumpControversy #Journalism #MediaWatch #FakeNewsDebate #InternationalRelations #WhiteFarmers #SouthAfricanFarms #CrossesVideo #PresidentialMeeting #TrumpRhetoric Also Read Congress Slams Centre After Trump Reiterates India-Pakistan Ceasefire Claims: 'Why This Thundering Silence?' :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/congress-slams-centre-after-trump-reiterates-india-pakistan-ceasefire-claims-why-this-thundering-s-4160453.html?ref=DMDesc India-Pakistan Directly Negotiated Ceasefire: S Jaishankar Dismisses Trump's Mediation Claims :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/india-pakistan-directly-negotiated-ceasefire-s-jaishankar-dismisses-trumps-mediation-claims-4160395.html?ref=DMDesc US Defence Department Accepts Boeing 747 From Qatar For Trump's Use :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-defence-department-accepts-boeing-747-from-qatar-for-trumps-use-4160231.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.194~

Ramaphosa Happily Dodged ‘Zelensky Moment’ With Trump? Jokes Some Wanted ‘DRAMA’; ‘No Genocide in…’

On May 21, 2025, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa met with U.S. President Donald Trump in the Oval Office, where the discussion took an unexpected turn. Trump confronted Ramaphosa with unverified footage alleging a "white genocide" in South Africa, a claim that has been widely debunked by South African officials and international observers. The incident was reminiscent of a previous confrontation between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, leading some to speculate that Ramaphosa had successfully navigated a potential diplomatic crisis.
