NATO’s Big Message to Moscow | NATO DEMANDS 40,000 More German Troops As Russia Threat Grows

NATO is expected to formally request Germany to contribute seven additional brigades—around 40,000 troops—as the alliance raises its military readiness goal to 130 brigades, a sharp increase from the current 80. The demand comes ahead of a major defense ministers' summit, amid growing concerns over Russian aggression. Germany has already pledged ten brigades by 2030 but now faces fresh pressure. NATO calls the new benchmarks “ambitious,” while Berlin prepares a ninth brigade for Lithuania. The expanded goals follow U.S. calls for allies to boost defense spending and military capabilities urgently. #NATO #Germany #MilitaryReadiness #DefenseSpending #RussiaThreat #UkraineWar #TroopIncrease #GermanArmy #GlobalSecurity #MilitaryNews #Geopolitics #TrumpNATO #BrigadeBoost #NATO130Brigades #MilitaryAlliances #LithuaniaDeployment #WarPrep #DefenseBudget #RuttePlan #NATOExpansion Also Read Germany: Knife Attack At Train Station In Hamburg City, 12 Injured, 3 Critical :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/germany-knife-attack-at-train-station-in-hamburg-city-12-injured-3-critical-4162369.html?ref=DMDesc Germany Backs India’s Right To Self-Defence After Pahalgam Terror Attack :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/germany-backs-india-s-right-to-self-defence-after-pahalgam-terror-attack-4162141.html?ref=DMDesc Over 3400 Flights Cancelled, Thousands Of Passengers Stranded Due To German Airport Association Workers' Strik :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/over-3400-flights-cancelled-thousands-of-passengers-stranded-due-to-german-airport-association-work-4092803.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.336~

Russia Set to BOMB Berlin Over Germany's 'TAURUS' Support to Ukraine | Could Merz Start WWIII?

Speculation is rising after Ukrainian President Zelensky met German Chancellor Merz to discuss acquiring German-made Taurus missiles—highly lethal, long-range weapons capable of striking deep into Russia. Ukraine faces challenges operating this advanced technology without German support, which could delay deployment by years. If used soon, Moscow may accuse Germany of direct involvement, risking Russian retaliation including deployment of Oreshnik strike complexes. Russian media warns Germany against provoking escalation that could spark a wider conflict. #Zelensky #ChancellorMerz #TaurusMissiles #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraine #GermanSupport #MilitaryAid #WarEscalation #LongRangeWeapons #OreshnikStrike #RussianRetaliation #UkraineDefense #Geopolitics #GermanyUkraine #RussiaConflict #MissileTechnology #WarStrategy #ConflictWatch #DefenseNews #GlobalSecurity #MilitaryTensions #WarUpdates #ThirdWorldWarRisk #RussiaWarnings #GermanyInvolvement #TaurusProgram #UkrainianMilitary #EuropeanSecurity #DefenseTalks #WarAnalysis #InternationalRelations ~HT.410~GR.124~ED.194~

Lavrov recalls Germany’s ‘NAZI’ past | Warns against Rearming Germany & ‘NAZIFICATION’ of Ukraine

Russia has issued a sharp rebuke to Germany, invoking its Nazi past and warning against its large-scale rearmament and NATO’s expansion. Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov called the military buildup near Russia’s borders "alarming," accusing Germany of fueling instability. As Berlin passes a $550B military fund and lifts missile restrictions with allies, Moscow warns of dire consequences. Lavrov also reignited rhetoric about “denazification,” framing Germany’s actions as provocative amid high-stakes talks between Zelensky and German Chancellor Merz. #RussiaGermany #Lavrov #NATO #GermanyRearmament #WWII #Geopolitics #MilitaryBuildUp #UkraineWar #Zelensky #Merz #MissileRange #GermanyArmy #RussiaWarning #EasternEurope #ColdWarEchoes #GlobalTensions #NaziPast #DeNazification #RussiaNATO #SecurityThreat #BreakingNews #WorldPolitics #DefenseFund #MilitaryEscalation #ZelenskyInGermany #RussiaUkraineConflict #MoscowWarning #MissilePolicy #GermanyDefense #HistoricWarning Also Read Germany: Knife Attack At Train Station In Hamburg City, 12 Injured, 3 Critical :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/germany-knife-attack-at-train-station-in-hamburg-city-12-injured-3-critical-4162369.html?ref=DMDesc Germany Backs India’s Right To Self-Defence After Pahalgam Terror Attack :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/germany-backs-india-s-right-to-self-defence-after-pahalgam-terror-attack-4162141.html?ref=DMDesc West Pitching China-India Against Each Other: Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/west-pitching-china-india-against-each-other-russian-foreign-minister-sergei-lavrov-4155227.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.194~

No PEACE TALKS on June 2? Russia dismisses Ukraine’s ‘UNCONSTRUCTIVE’ Demand

Russia’s proposed second round of Ukraine peace talks in Istanbul on June 2 appears doomed before it begins. Ukraine has raised complaints, demanding Moscow deliver its ceasefire draft immediately, while Russia decries Kyiv’s conditions as "unconstructive." Ukraine insists on a full ceasefire as a starting point, accusing Russia of stalling. The first talks failed after Putin skipped the meeting, and now with no changes in Russia’s delegation, hopes for diplomatic progress remain bleak amid rising tension and mistrust. #RussiaUkraineWar #PeaceTalks #IstanbulSummit #CeasefireStalemate #Lavrov #Zelensky #Putin #Medinsky #UkraineDemands #RussiaRefuses #DiplomaticDeadlock #KyivVsMoscow #WarInUkraine #Geopolitics #UkrainePeacePlan #RussiaPeaceDraft #June2Talks #NoBreakthrough #UkraineConflict #CeasefireNow #GlobalDiplomacy #PutinSnub #WesternSanctions #PeaceEffortsFail #UkraineRussiaTensions #UnconditionalCeasefire #NegotiationCrisis #UkraineRussiaNews #TurkeyMediation #RussiaUkraineDialogue #FailedDiplomacy Also Read Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif Says Ready To Talk With India On All Disputes :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-pm-shehbaz-sharif-says-ready-to-talk-with-india-on-all-disputes-4164725.html?ref=DMDesc West Pitching China-India Against Each Other: Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/west-pitching-china-india-against-each-other-russian-foreign-minister-sergei-lavrov-4155227.html?ref=DMDesc Russia Marks 80th Anniversary of Nazi Germany's Defeat with Grand Victory Day Parade :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/victory-day-parade-russia-80th-anniversary-defeat-nazi-germany-011-4148945.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.420~HT.336~

‘Shooting Russia in the back’ | Russian Intel Drops BOMBSHELL on Serbian involvement in War [Video]

‘Shooting Russia in the back’ | Russian Intel Drops BOMBSHELL on Serbian involvement in War

Russia accuses Serbia of secretly supplying arms to Ukraine via NATO states, undermining its declared neutrality in the war. Russian intelligence alleges Serbian ammunition is reaching Kyiv through intermediaries in Czechia, Poland, Bulgaria, and Africa. Reports claim over $855 million in Serbian arms have flowed to Ukraine since 2024. While Serbia denies direct involvement, officials admit weapons may appear via third parties. As Belgrade balances EU aspirations and ties with Moscow, the controversy risks straining its geopolitical tightrope. #Serbia #RussiaUkraineWar #Ukraine #ArmsTrade #RussianIntel #SerbianWeapons #Belgrade #Geopolitics #NeutralityCrisis #Kyiv #NATO #EasternEurope #MilitarySupplies #Vucic #MilosVucevic #DefensePolicy #SerbianAmmo #WarAllegations #EUAmbitions #MoscowTies #BalkanPolitics #RussiaVsUkraine #FinancialTimes #PentagonLeaks #UkraineSupport #BlackMarketArms #ThirdPartySales #WeaponsLeak #PoliticalTension #GlobalConflict #SouthEastEurope Also Read West Pitching China-India Against Each Other: Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/west-pitching-china-india-against-each-other-russian-foreign-minister-sergei-lavrov-4155227.html?ref=DMDesc Russia Marks 80th Anniversary of Nazi Germany's Defeat with Grand Victory Day Parade :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/victory-day-parade-russia-80th-anniversary-defeat-nazi-germany-011-4148945.html?ref=DMDesc Indian Army Gets Russia-Made Igla-S Missiles :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/indian-army-gets-russia-made-igla-s-missiles-4143017.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.420~HT.336~GR.124~
