Russian Foreign Ministry’s BIG CLAIMS On Romanian Elections | ‘Telegram Founder Durov Arrested…’

Russia has accused French President Emmanuel Macron of arresting Telegram founder Pavel Durov to meddle in Romania’s 2024 elections. Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova claims France acted to suppress conservative voices on Telegram during the campaign. Durov earlier stated French intelligence requested censorship on his platform. He was detained in August 2023, charged, and released on bail in March. The controversy comes amid disputed election results, disqualified candidates, and allegations of foreign interference, with Durov now offering to testify before Romanian authorities to support electoral transparency. #PavelDurov #TelegramArrest #RomanianElections #Macron #MariaZakharova #ElectionInterference #Censorship #TelegramCensorship #FrancePolitics #RussiaFranceTensions #GeorgeSimion #RomaniaVotes #DGSE #FreeSpeech #PoliticalManipulation #NicusorDan #CalinGeorgescu #MariusTuca #ForeignInterference ~ED.102~HT.336~GR.125~

France BLASTS Durov, Claims Allegations To Be ‘Fake and Denies Interfering…’ In Romanian Election

France has denied allegations of interfering in Romania’s presidential elections after Telegram founder Pavel Durov claimed a “Western European government” asked him to block Romanian conservatives ahead of the vote. Durov hinted at France with a baguette emoji and accused French intel chief Nicolas Lerner of personally approaching him. France called the accusations “unfounded” and blamed Moscow for interference in the earlier annulled round. The tight runoff between centrist Nicusor and Euroskeptic Simion is now mired in deeper controversy. #France #RomaniaElection #Telegram #PavelDurov #ElectionInterference #GeorgeSimion #FranceDenies #RomaniaVotes #Nicusor #RomanianPolitics #DurovVsFrance #ElectionScandal #ForeignInfluence #MoscowBlamed #FrenchForeignMinistry #EuropeanPolitics #HybridWarfare #TelegramPolitics #FreedomOfSpeech #ElectionControversy ~HT.410~

Trump FORCING Zelensky to Leave Ukraine? Former Ukrainian PM Reveals Zelensky’s Secret Escape Plan

Zelensky will resign and leave Ukraine, former Prime Minister Nikolay Azarov has predicted, citing what he described as a US-backed effort to remove the country’s leader. In a post on Telegram on Sunday, Azarov suggested that the decision to remove Zelensky from power “has already been made in the US” and that Washington has given the “go-ahead” for his ouster. He wrote that although the Ukrainian leader has support in Europe, it is unlikely to change anything and will “hardly help” him. #Zelensky #UkraineCrisis #RussiaUkraineWar #TrumpUkraine #Geopolitics #PeaceTalks #NATOPressure #ZelenskyResign #UkraineNews #WorldPolitics #USUkraine #WarInUkraine #GlobalTensions #AzarovClaims #PoliticalDrama Also Read Mike Johnson Dismisses Elon Musk's Criticism of Republican Tax and Budget Bill :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/mike-johnson-downplays-musks-influence-on-republican-tax-bill-011-4175853.html?ref=DMDesc 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 Trump Declares Columbus Day Will Remain Unchanged Amid Indigenous Peoples Day Recognition :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-reinstates-columbus-day-amid-indigenous-peoples-day-debate-011-4136967.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.152~HT.408~ED.346~

Putin’s Two-Faced Diplomacy EXPOSED: Urges Peace While Backing Iran’s Missile Strike On Israel

Russia is playing both arsonist and fireman. As Vladimir Putin urges Israel to resolve conflict through diplomacy, he openly defends Iran’s missile barrage on Tel Aviv. Moscow blasted Israel’s strikes as “unprovoked” and a violation of the UN Charter, and even offered Tehran condolences for its dead generals. The Kremlin paints itself as a peace broker — but is arming Iran, deepening ties, and offering to remove enriched uranium to "help." This dual narrative exposes a calculated double game as war looms in the Middle East. #RussiaIran #PutinIsraelTensions #MiddleEastCrisis #IranMissileStrike #TelAvivAttack #PutinDoubleGame #IranRetaliation #RussiaBacksIran #UNCharterViolation #KremlinDiplomacy #PutinVsIsrael #RussiaMiddleEast #BreakingNews #TehranStrike #IsraelIranConflict #MoscowSupportIran #PutinStrategy #MiddleEastWar #PutinContradiction #RussiaIsraelIran Also Read Iran Army Claims Its Suicide Drones Successfully Hit Targets :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/iran-army-claims-its-suicide-drones-successfully-hit-targets-4181599.html?ref=DMDesc Iran-Israel Conflict: India Issues Advisory For Nationals In Israel; Warns Citizens To Remain Vigilant :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/iran-israel-conflict-india-issues-advisory-for-nationals-in-israel-warns-citizens-to-remain-vigila-4181365.html?ref=DMDesc From Covert Ops To All-Out Strike: How Israel And Iran Reached The Brink :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/from-covert-ops-to-all-out-strike-how-israel-and-iran-reached-the-brink-4181293.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.420~

‘Israel Is Defending Its Very Existence’ US SLAMS Putin On ‘Preaching War Ethics’ And Defending Iran

U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham tore into Russian President Vladimir Putin for backing Iran after Israel's massive retaliatory strikes, calling Moscow's legal advice on warfare "rich even for the Russians." Putin condemned Israel's actions and spoke with both Iran and Israel, pushing diplomacy. Graham accused Russia of invading Ukraine barbarically and warned India and China: keep aiding Putin, and you'll regret it. As explosions shook Tel Aviv and missiles rained down, the geopolitical crisis deepened, with Russia pledging closer contact with both sides amid a regional flashpoint. #LindseyGraham #Putin #RussiaIran #IsraelIranConflict #IsraelStrikes #Gaza #IndiaChina #MiddleEastTensions #IranMissiles #PutinSpeech #TelAvivAttack #JerusalemStrike #UNCharter #BushehrPlant #RussiaCondemnsIsrael #GrahamVsPutin #IsraelIranMissile #NuclearConflict #Geopolitics #MiddleEastCrisis Also Read Iran Army Claims Its Suicide Drones Successfully Hit Targets :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/iran-army-claims-its-suicide-drones-successfully-hit-targets-4181599.html?ref=DMDesc Who Is Kannadiga Scientist Dr Prahlada Ramarao And Why Is His Name Trending Amid The Iran-Israel Conflict? :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/who-is-kannadiga-scientist-dr-prahlada-ramarao-and-why-is-his-name-trending-amid-the-iran-israel-con-4181557.html?ref=DMDesc Iran-Israel Conflict: India Issues Advisory For Nationals In Israel; Warns Citizens To Remain Vigilant :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/iran-israel-conflict-india-issues-advisory-for-nationals-in-israel-warns-citizens-to-remain-vigila-4181365.html?ref=DMDesc
