SCO Summit BREAKING: Putin Meets Xi | Most Powerful Moment Of SCO Summit 2025

At the SCO Summit, a powerful moment unfolded as Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping engaged in a private and seemingly warm conversation. Xi immediately called for his interpreter after the photo-op, ensuring a lengthy and precise exchange with Putin while other world leaders lined up for the traditional family photo. Their relaxed smiles suggested not just diplomacy, but a bond strengthening at a time of rising global tensions. The interaction is already being seen as symbolic of a deepening Russia-China axis, potentially unsettling the West. Observers note that this visible show of unity comes as U.S. and NATO seek to counter both Moscow and Beijing’s influence. For many, it was more than just small talk—it was a message of strategic alignment, one that could shift the global balance of power. #Putin #XiJinping #RussiaChina #SCOSummit #Geopolitics #SCO #GlobalPolitics #Diplomacy #StrategicAlliance #WorldNews #PutinXi #BRICS #NATO #USChina #USRussia #PowerShift #Summit2025 #MultipolarWorld #EastVsWest #GlobalOrder ~HT.410~

Europe Publicly SUPPORTS US’ Ukraine Peace Plan But Privately PRESSURES Kiev To Escalate War? [Video]

Europe Publicly SUPPORTS US’ Ukraine Peace Plan But Privately PRESSURES Kiev To Escalate War?

White House is pointing fingers at Europe, accusing EU leaders of obstructing Ukraine peace talks with what it calls “unreasonable” and “fairy-tale” demands. According to Axios, senior US officials say some European governments publicly endorse President Donald Trump’s peace drive while privately pushing Kiev toward unrealistic conditions, prolonging the war. Trump, fresh from his Alaska summit with Vladimir Putin and meetings with Volodymyr Zelensky, is pressing for a lasting peace deal—not just a ceasefire. But frustration is mounting in Washington, with officials warning Europe against escalating while leaving America to pay the cost. The Atlantic reported that Trump has grown impatient with both Kiev’s unwillingness to make concessions and EU refusal to back what he calls a “realistic outcome.” Moscow, meanwhile, insists on neutrality for Ukraine, rejection of NATO expansion, and recognition of new territorial realities, including Crimea and Donbass as part of Russia. #Trump #EU #Ukraine #Putin #Zelensky #Russia #US #NATO #UkrainePeace #BreakingNews #Moscow #Kyiv #Washington #Europe #Conflict #Diplomacy #UkraineWar #PeaceTalks #Axios #TheAtlantic ~HT.410~GR.124~

Seen weak and bruised while golfing with his grandchildren, Trump’s first appearance since August 27 has fueled online rumors, including the viral “Is Trump dead?” trend.

US-SCO Relations: Silent Presence of America at Tianjin Summit | How RIC views US

US SCO Relations are in the spotlight as leaders gather in Tianjin, China, for the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit. Though Washington is not a member, US SCO Relations continue to shape discussions, from trade tariffs to military standoffs. For India, the 50% US tariff and criticism over Russian oil imports highlight the tension in US SCO Relations. For China, America’s containment strategies and Indo-Pacific moves cast a shadow over regional cooperation. As Russia, India, and China explore alternatives, the silent influence of US SCO Relations reminds the world that Washington remains a decisive factor, even outside the room. #USSCORelations #SCOSummit2025 #USIndiaChina #GlobalDiplomacy #SilentParticipant

China is hosting the SCO 2025 summit in Tianjin with over 20 world leaders, but global attention is fixed on Indian PM Narendra Modi and Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif. Just three months ago, both nations nearly went to war after a terrorist attack in Kashmir’s Pahalgam killed 26 people. India responded with deep strikes in Pakistan, prompting retaliation. Now, for the first time since the conflict, the leaders will stand under the same roof. Their presence raises questions on peace, diplomacy, and China’s role in the region. #SCO2025 #IndiaPakistan #NarendraModi #ShehbazSharif #ChinaDiplomacy #TianjinSummit #KashmirConflict #GlobalPolitics #WorldNews #IndiaChina #PakistanChina #SCO #PeaceTalks #DiplomaticTensions #IndiaPakistanRelations #ModiSharif #BreakingNews #SouthAsia #KashmirCrisis #GeoPolitics #ChinaSummit #NuclearNations #RegionalSecurity #OperationSindoor #IndiaNews #PakistanNews #ModiAtSCO #SharifAtSCO #SCOChina #AsiaPolitics #DiplomaticShowdown Also Read PM Modi Tells Xi in Tianjin: India Wants Stronger Ties Built on Mutual Respect :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-ready-to-take-ties-forward-with-china-says-pm-modi-during-tianjin-meeting-011-7846207.html?ref=DMDesc India-Japan's Unbroken Thread: From Nara’s Buddha to The Bullet Train :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-japans-unbroken-thread-from-nara-s-buddha-to-the-bullet-train-7844209.html?ref=DMDesc PM Modi Arrives in Japan for Two-Day Visit, Summit Talks with PM Shigeru Ishiba Ahead :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pm-modi-arrives-in-japan-for-two-day-visit-summit-talks-with-pm-shigeru-ishiba-ahead-7844081.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.103~HT.408~

India Defies U.S Tariffs As Modi Refuses To Curb Russian Crude Imports | Trade War Escalates

Washington’s high-stakes pressure campaign against India has backfired. Despite unprecedented tariffs and repeated threats over Russian oil imports, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has refused to bend. Russian crude still accounts for nearly one-third of India’s imports, and refiners show no signs of slowing down. Reports suggest Modi even ignored four calls from Donald Trump, signaling India’s sovereignty is not for sale. Instead of bowing, New Delhi is deepening its BRICS diplomacy — sending top aides to Moscow, hosting Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi, and preparing for a landmark trip to China where Modi will meet Putin at the SCO summit. For the US, the outcome is bitter: higher prices for its own consumers, while India expands its strategic clout. As global power balances shift, Modi has made it clear — India won’t be bullied. #India #Modi #USTariffs #RussianOil #BRICS #China #Putin #SCO #Geopolitics #USIndia #GlobalSouth #TradeWar #Washington #Delhi #Moscow #Beijing #Trump #Zelensky #EnergyCrisis #Independence ~GR.122~HT.408~ED.194~

BRICS vs The West: Lavrov Calls Out US 'Sanction Hypocrisy' |India & China Push For MULTIPOLAR World

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, alongside India’s S. Jaishankar, accused the U.S. of weaponizing the dollar and using sanctions as “economic colonialism.” Lavrov warned that even allies are unsafe from Washington’s unpredictability, framing BRICS as a counterbalance to Western dominance. India backed the bloc, stressing it is “not anti-West, just not Western.” With BRICS expanding to include nations like Iran, UAE, and Egypt, the bloc now represents over 40% of the global population, aiming to reshape financial systems, technology, and influence in the Global South. #BRICS #Lavrov #Jaishankar #GlobalSouth #Russia #India #China #Sanctions #WesternHypocrisy #MultipolarWorld #USSanctions #Geopolitics #WorldOrder #EconomicColonialism #BRICSExpansion #GlobalPolitics #AltFinance #NewDevelopmentBank #BRICSVsG7 #AntiDollar #GlobalShift #BRICSPower #EconomicAlliance #StrategicShift #WestVsBRICS #NonAligned #TradeWars #GlobalInfluence #TechSovereignty #GlobalBalance Also Read India at the Heart of BRICS: The Pivot in a Multipolar World :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/india-at-the-heart-of-brics-the-pivot-in-a-multipolar-world-7825477.html?ref=DMDesc US Senator Warns India, China, Brazil of 'Severe Tariffs' Over Russian Oil Purchases :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-senator-warns-india-china-brazil-of-severe-tariffs-over-russian-oil-purchases-011-7807339.html?ref=DMDesc BRICS Leaders Push For India And Brazil's Inclusion As Permanent Members Of UN Security Council :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/brics-leaders-push-for-india-and-brazils-inclusion-as-permanent-members-of-un-security-council-7794021.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~GR.122~
