‘Sanctions Don’t Bother Him’ Trump Drops BOMBSHELL Over Russia-Ukraine War | Zelenksy Loses War? [Video]

‘Sanctions Don’t Bother Him’ Trump Drops BOMBSHELL Over Russia-Ukraine War | Zelenksy Loses War?

President Donald Trump has admitted that new U.S. sanctions on Russia might not have any effect on Vladimir Putin — but is moving ahead with them anyway. Trump slashed the peace window for a Ukraine deal from 50 days to just 10, warning of brutal economic penalties if Moscow doesn't comply. These include up to 100% tariffs and potential secondary sanctions on countries doing business with Russia. While Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov downplayed the threats, saying Russia has developed “sanctions immunity,” Trump’s frustration is mounting. The president also announced that special envoy Steve Witkoff will soon travel to Russia following visits to Israel and Gaza. Trump’s acting UN envoy confirmed a ceasefire deadline: August 8. Despite over 10,000 sanctions already in place since the 2014 Ukraine crisis, Putin maintains the West has failed to break Russia’s economy. The standoff is reaching a boiling point. #Trump #Putin #RussiaSanctions #UkraineWar #USRussiaTensions #100PercentTariffs #CeasefireDeadline #Witkoff #Peskov #TrumpPutinShowdown #UkrainePeaceDeal #SecondarySanctions #EconomicWar #SanctionsFail #TrumpWarning #VladimirPutin #SanctionedNation #RussiaImmunity #TrumpSpeech #USForeignPolicy ~ED.102~HT.408~GR.125~

Trump Demands Hamas SURRENDER & Release Hostages for Ceasefire in Gaza as Witkoff meets Netanyahu

Donald Trump has issued a stark ultimatum to Hamas: “Surrender and release the hostages” or face continued starvation in Gaza. Amid mounting criticism of Israel’s war strategy and stalled hostage talks, Trump shifted his tone—demanding Hamas end resistance to stop the humanitarian crisis. As Netanyahu meets U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff, discussions center on reviving negotiations via Qatar and Egypt. With annexation being floated as a fallback, the situation remains tense, and U.S.-backed aid efforts face scrutiny for failing to ease suffering. #TrumpVsHamas #GazaCrisis #HostageTalks #Netanyahu #WitkoffMission #MiddleEastTensions #GazaWar #HumanitarianCrisis #HamasUltimatum #GazaStarvation #TrumpStatement #IsraelHamasWar #AidUnderFire #QatarMediation #USIsraelRelations #BreakingNews #GazaBlockade #GazaFamine #WitkoffInJerusalem #PeaceStalemate #AnnexationThreat #TrumpMiddleEast #HamasResistance #GazaAidFail #USPolicyShift #HostagesInGaza #GazaNegotiations Also Read They Can Take Their Dead Economies Down Together: Donald Trump Slams India, Russia :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/they-can-take-their-dead-economies-down-together-donald-trump-slams-india-russia-7816541.html?ref=DMDesc After Tariffs, Trump Administration Sanctions 6 Indian Companies For Trading With Iran :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/after-tariffs-trump-administration-sanctions-6-indian-companies-for-trading-with-iran-011-7816493.html?ref=DMDesc Maybe, Pakistan Will Sell Oil To India Someday: Trump After Striking Deal With Islamabad :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/maybe-pakistan-will-sell-oil-to-india-someday-trump-after-striking-deal-with-islamabad-011-7816471.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.420~HT.408~

Tensions flare as Hamas rejects U.S. accusations that it derailed ceasefire negotiations, insisting it submitted a final response after wide consultations. The Palestinian group claims it remains committed to halting Israeli aggression and securing desperately needed humanitarian aid for Gaza. Meanwhile, U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff abruptly withdrew from the Doha talks, citing Hamas’s “lack of good faith.” With Israeli airstrikes continuing and 28 nations now demanding an end to the blockade, pressure is rising on all sides. #GazaCeasefire #HamasIsrael #MiddleEastCrisis #GazaAidCrisis #DohaTalks #USForeignPolicy #IsraelPalestine #UNDiplomacy #HumanitarianCrisis #FreePalestine #CeasefireNow #InternationalLaw ~PR.274~HT.408~ED.102~GR.124~

India's FIERY Response To Trump's Warning | India Stands Firm On Russian Oil [Video]

India's FIERY Response To Trump's Warning | India Stands Firm On Russian Oil

India has doubled down on its decision to continue purchasing discounted Russian crude oil despite U.S. President Donald Trump's remarks suggesting New Delhi may halt such imports. Indian state-owned refiners reaffirmed that sourcing oil from Russia remains a strategic, price-driven choice essential for the country’s energy security, given its 85% crude import dependence. Officials emphasized that Russian oil is not under international sanctions and purchases comply with the G7/EU price cap mechanism, ensuring global markets remain liquid and prices stable. Sources argue that India's imports prevented oil prices from soaring above the March 2022 peak of $137 a barrel amid OPEC+ cuts. Meanwhile, reports of suspended purchases were dismissed, with officials highlighting the EU’s own high intake of Russian LNG. India insists its decisions are guided by national interest while contributing positively to global energy stability, even as Washington hints at possible penalties. #IndiaOilImports #RussianOil #TrumpTariffs #EnergySecurity #GlobalOilPrices #RussianCrude #OilTradeTensions #IndiaEnergyPolicy #USIndiaRelations #BrentCrude #OPECPlusCuts #PriceCapMechanism #RussianLNG #OilMarketStability #IndiaDefiesTrump #OilSupplyCrisis #GlobalEnergyCrisis #IndianRefiners #USRussiaTensions #OilImportsNews ~HT.410~GR.125~ED.103~

Iron Dome Fails! Houthis ATTACK Israel, Hit 3 Key Targets | Israeli Defenses Crushed In DEADLY Raid

Yemen’s Armed Forces have delivered a bold message to Israel and the world by penetrating Tel Aviv’s missile shield with explosive-laden drones that struck three high-value targets — including a sensitive Israeli site in Jaffa, military infrastructure in Ashkelon, and a strategic zone in the Negev Desert. Brigadier General Yahya Saree confirmed the success of the operations and warned of continued strikes until the siege and genocide in Gaza end. The strikes form part of Yemen’s relentless campaign of solidarity with Palestine, which has also involved firing advanced ballistic and hypersonic missiles. Meanwhile, Yemen has issued a clarion call to Muslims and Arabs worldwide to rise, protest, and break the Gaza blockade. The message is clear — Gaza’s resistance is not alone, and regional escalation is mounting fast.

Yemenis Flood Sana'a In Mass Protest Against US-Israel Genocide In Gaza,Demand Justice For Palestine

In a powerful display of unity and outrage, hundreds of thousands of Yemenis marched through the streets of Sana'a for the latest “million-man” rally in solidarity with the Palestinian people. The rally, held amid the ongoing US-Israeli military campaign in Gaza, turned the Yemeni capital into a sea of Palestinian flags and anti-imperialist slogans. Protesters condemned what they described as a genocide against Gaza’s population, holding the United States and Israel fully responsible. Demonstrators chanted calls for resistance, waved banners, and pledged continued support for Palestine until the bombardment ends. This weekly mobilization reflects not only political defiance but also deep-rooted solidarity from Yemen’s population, many of whom have suffered years of war and siege themselves. With each passing week, Yemen’s message to the world grows louder: Gaza is not alone. The rally signals mounting pressure on Arab leaders and global powers to act against the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza. #Yemen #Gaza #Palestine #FreePalestine #MillionManMarch #SanaaProtest #USIsraelGenocide #GazaUnderAttack #GazaSolidarity #StopTheGenocide #ProtestForPalestine #ArabSolidarity #YemenForGaza #PalestineWillBeFree #EndIsraeliApartheid #StandWithPalestine #NoMoreWar #JusticeForGaza #GazaProtests #MiddleEastNews ~HT.318~ED.103~GR.125~

France Ramps Up Action After Palestine Recognition With Massive Aid Drop And Ceasefire Push | Video [Video]

France Ramps Up Action After Palestine Recognition With Massive Aid Drop And Ceasefire Push | Video

France has launched an airdrop mission delivering 40 tonnes of emergency food aid into Gaza, in a dramatic response to an escalating famine crisis in the embattled Strip. Each of the four flights carried 10 tonnes of supplies, Foreign Minister Jean‑Noël Barrot confirmed—though he warned the gesture remains “insufficient.” Barrot and President Macron demanded that Israel quickly reopen air, land, and sea routes to allow unhindered aid access, calling current conditions “absolutely intolerable.” A recent WHO report showed that since July, 5,000 children under five have been treated for acute malnutrition, and at least 63 have died of starvation. The move follows weeks of humanitarian pauses and airdrops by allies including Jordan, the UAE, Germany, and the UK—but global agencies warn only sustained land convoys can truly meet the desperate needs. Against the backdrop of rising international pressure and US envoy visits, France’s action adds fresh urgency to the crisis. #FranceAidGaza #GazaFamine #HumanitarianAirdrop #JeanNoelBarrot #Macron #OpenAidCorridors #WHOReport #ChildMalnutrition #GazaCrisis #IsraelAidRestrictions #HumanitarianAccess #JordanUAEFlights #GermanyAid #UKAidDrop #FamineInGaza #StarvationDeaths #CeasefirePressure #GlobalAidPush #LandRoutesNeeded #UrgentRelief ~GR.124~HT.408~
