Treasury minister: Let's judge Putin on actions not words

A shadow Treasury minister has cautiously welcomed the ceasefire in the Black Sea between Russia and Ukraine, saying President Vladimir Putin should be judged on his actions rather than his words.

On the leaked White House Signal messages criticising Europe, James Wild adds, "it's a fair challenge" to call on Europe to increase defence spending but adds, "I wouldn't use that language".

"Trump Barks But Doesn’t Bite," Says Expert On U.S Secondary Tariffs On Russia | "U.S Won’t Dare…" [Video]

"Trump Barks But Doesn’t Bite," Says Expert On U.S Secondary Tariffs On Russia | "U.S Won’t Dare…"

Despite bold rhetoric, President Trump is unlikely to follow through on secondary tariffs targeting Russian trade partners. Speaking in the UK, Trump extended his tariff deadline again, repeating a familiar pattern of threats with little enforcement. Russian markets rose following his speech, reflecting global skepticism. Experts say enforcing tariffs on nations like China or India could backfire, straining diplomatic ties and fueling inflation at home. As Putin vows to continue the Ukraine war, Trump’s tactics seem more bark than bite—aimed at leverage, not real economic penalties. #Trump #TariffThreats #Russia #Putin #TradeWar #USPolitics #Geopolitics #SecondaryTariffs #TrumpVsPutin #GlobalMarkets #ChinaTrade #India #Brazil #OilTrade #RussiaUkraine #USChina #TrumpPolicy #TariffTalks #StockMarket #Inflation #Moscow #TrumpSpeech #ForeignPolicy #TradeNews #BluffPolitics #UkraineWar #EconomicStrategy #TariffWatch #GlobalTensions #TrumpAbroad #DiplomacyFail ~HT.410~GR.125~ED.194~

BREAKING: Putin Drops BOMBSHELL On Syria’s Sovereignty | Putin, Netanyahu Call Details Revealed

As the Middle East teeters on the edge of wider conflict, Russian President Vladimir Putin held a high-stakes phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The Kremlin confirmed that Putin underscored Russia’s commitment to peaceful solutions amid escalating tensions between Iran and Israel. In a bold diplomatic move, Moscow offered to mediate stalled nuclear negotiations involving Tehran, positioning itself as a central figure in the crisis. Notably, Putin warned against any actions that may compromise Syria’s sovereignty, stressing the need to respect the nation's territorial integrity and internal political stability. This conversation comes at a time when military strikes, political instability, and nuclear fears are threatening to ignite a broader regional war. With Syria caught in the crossfire and international alliances under strain, the Putin-Netanyahu call may signal a renewed effort to de-escalate before it’s too late. #Putin #Netanyahu #MiddleEastTensions #IranIsraelConflict #RussiaDiplomacy #SyriaSovereignty #IranNuclearDeal #KremlinStatement #PeaceTalks #RussiaIsrael #PutinCall #MiddleEastCrisis #IsraelIran #SyrianTerritory #Geopolitics #NuclearTalks #RussiaInMiddleEast #DiplomaticEfforts #BreakingNews #GlobalTensions ~HT.410~ED.420~

NATO-Russia Full Blown Conflict: Russia Issues CHILLING WARNING To Bulgaria Over Black Sea Tensions [Video]

NATO-Russia Full Blown Conflict: Russia Issues CHILLING WARNING To Bulgaria Over Black Sea Tensions

Russia has issued a sharp warning to Bulgaria after the Bulgarian Parliament labeled Moscow a “state sponsor of terrorism” and seized Russian property. The Kremlin condemned the move as a product of EU-driven Russophobia, calling it a provocation that “won’t go unanswered.” With NATO backing Bulgaria and tensions rising in the Black Sea, fears of escalation grow. Though a full-blown conflict is unlikely, hybrid threats remain. Russia's fleet still holds Kalibr missile power, while Bulgaria, backed by NATO, braces for any threat near its modernizing navy. #Russia #Bulgaria #BlackSeaTensions #Putin #NATO #Geopolitics #WarThreat #KalibrMissiles #BulgariaNavy #HybridWarfare #Article5 #EU #RussiaUkraineWar #PutinWarning #Bosphorus #NavalConflict #Moscow #RussianFleet #MilitaryTensions #DefenseNews #BreakingNews #GlobalSecurity #NATONews #EasternEurope #BalticCrisis #BlackSeaCrisis #NATOvsRussia #UkraineWar #WarZone #SecurityAlert #MilitaryEscalation Also Read Hawaii Tsunami Warning: Next Waves Could Reach Up to 10 Feet, Say Officials :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/hawaii-tsunami-warning-next-waves-could-reach-up-to-10-feet-say-officials-011-7815551.html?ref=DMDesc India Tsunami Warning?

VIDEO: Big SHOCKER For Trump & Zelensky As Putin SMASHES Patriots & ‘LIBERATES’ 5 Ukrainian Towns

In a stunning escalation of the Ukraine conflict, Russian forces claim to have liberated five strategic towns in the Sumy and Donetsk regions over the past week. Moscow’s Defense Ministry reports an aggressive series of operations involving hypersonic Kinzhal missiles, precision UAV strikes, and the destruction of four US-made Patriot missile launchers. With over 9,000 Ukrainian casualties allegedly inflicted across multiple battle groups, including thousands in Donetsk, the battlefield narrative is shifting dramatically. Russian forces also destroyed dozens of depots, radars, and artillery systems. The Black Sea saw naval drone threats neutralized, while Russian air defenses intercepted more than 2,000 Ukrainian UAVs. As Kyiv reels from the latest offensive and Western equipment losses mount, questions grow around NATO's next move and Ukraine’s capacity to hold the front. #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraine #PatriotMissile #HypersonicMissiles #Kinzhal #Sumy #Donetsk #Battlefield #MilitaryUpdate #UkraineCrisis #RussianArmy #WarNews #BreakingNews #UkrainianForces #Putin #USWeapons #BlackSea #NavalDrones #DroneWar #Geopolitics Also Read India Indicates Conditional Approach to Reviving Russia-India-China RIC Framework :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-non-committal-on-revival-of-ric-framework-011-7804519.html?ref=DMDesc Can You Hit Moscow?

Ukraine’s Most DEADLY Response After Failed Peace Talks | Strikes Sochi Killing 1 Civilian & Hits… [Video]

Ukraine’s Most DEADLY Response After Failed Peace Talks | Strikes Sochi Killing 1 Civilian & Hits…

In a dramatic escalation, Ukraine launched a wave of drone strikes on southern Russia, targeting Sochi — the famed Black Sea resort city — and its nearby Sirius technological and athletic hub. At least one woman was killed and another seriously injured when drone debris fell in Sochi’s central streets. Meanwhile, another UAV slammed into an oil terminal in Sirius, triggering emergency evacuations of students and tourists. Local sources described scenes of chaos, with air raid sirens blaring and as many as 20 explosions echoing across the city. This latest strike comes on the heels of Russia and Ukraine's third round of peace talks in Istanbul, which failed to secure a ceasefire. Moscow’s proposal for brief humanitarian truces and a major POW exchange involving 1,200 prisoners each was met with skepticism from Kyiv. Tensions remain sky-high as drone warfare escalates far from the battlefield, threatening Russian civilians and infrastructure. #UkraineRussiaWar #SochiAttack #UkraineDrones #BlackSeaStrike #DroneWarfare #SochiExplosion #RussiaUnderAttack #SiriusHub #CiviliansTargeted #RussiaUkraineConflict #PeaceTalksFail #PutinZelensky #IstanbulTalks #UkraineStrikesBack #OilTerminalHit #EvacuationsInSochi #AirRaidSirens #RussiaWarNews #ExplosionsInSochi #GeopoliticalTensions ~HT.318~ED.102~GR.122~

Trump Vs Medvedev: Medvedev Warns Trump Of War Over Ultimatum, Trump Calls Him 'Failed…' In Rebuke

A war of words has erupted between Donald Trump and Dmitry Medvedev after the former Russian president issued a veiled threat warning Trump against issuing ultimatums to Moscow. Medvedev, in a social media post, said each ultimatum brings the world closer to war—"not between Russia and Ukraine, but with your own country." Trump responded with fury, calling Medvedev a "failed former President" and warning him to "watch his words" or face consequences. The U.S. President also slammed India over trade tariffs, saying their economy and Russia’s were “dead” and would “sink together.” Trump had recently warned Russia of new sanctions if it didn’t agree to a ceasefire within 12 days. The Kremlin said it had “taken note” of Trump’s latest demands. With tensions mounting, the episode highlights rising geopolitical friction and personal animosity at the top levels of power. #Trump #Medvedev #RussiaUSA #IndiaRussia #TrumpWarning #MedvedevThreat #UkraineWar #Putin #DonaldTrump #Ultimatum #TruthSocial #RussiaSanctions #Geopolitics #USIndiaTies #TradeWar #WhiteHouse #BidenVsTrump #G20Fallout #CeasefireDeal #GlobalTensions ~HT.318~ED.346~

BREAKING: Trump’s 10-Day Deadline to Putin |Russia MOCKS U.S Secondary Tariff Threat For Ceasefire

Former President Trump has issued a stark warning to Russia: agree to a Ukraine ceasefire within 10 days or face sweeping new sanctions. He hinted at harsh secondary sanctions and tariffs targeting Russia’s already struggling economy. Despite the threat, Russia's Foreign Minister Lavrov mocked the move, claiming Moscow isn’t worried. Analysts say sanctions could slash Russia’s GDP by another 3–5% annually and hit energy exports hard. As the U.S. raises pressure, the question remains—will Putin yield, or is Trump making empty threats? #Trump #Russia #Sanctions #UkraineWar #USRussiaTensions #Putin #Ceasefire #Geopolitics #Tariffs #GlobalEconomy #Lavrov #SecondarySanctions #DebtCrisis #RussiaEconomy #BreakingNews #RTNews #EnergyCrisis #ShadowFleet #TradeWar #TrumpThreat #ForeignPolicy #EconomicSanctions #G7Pressure #China #India #ExportCuts #TrumpVsRussia #UkraineConflict #USPolitics #RussiaNews #TrumpSpeech Also Read Trump Imposes 10- To 12-Day Deadline For Russia To Cease Military Actions In Ukraine :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-sets-new-deadline-for-russia-in-ukraine-conflict-011-7813541.html?ref=DMDesc Trump's Ambition as a Global Peacemaker Faces Challenges Amid Gaza Ceasefire Talks :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-global-peacemaker-gaza-ceasefire-challenges-011-7810943.html?ref=DMDesc India Indicates Conditional Approach to Reviving Russia-India-China RIC Framework :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-non-committal-on-revival-of-ric-framework-011-7804519.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.194~

‘Kamala Should Be Jailed!’ Trump ACCUSES Democrats Of Illegal Celebrity Payments | 2024 Elections

U.S. President Donald Trump has ignited a political firestorm by accusing the Democratic Party of committing “fraud” during the 2024 election campaign. In a Truth Social post, Trump claimed that Democrats paid millions to celebrities for endorsements—an act he called “totally illegal.” He alleged $11 million was funneled to Beyoncé, $3 million to Oprah Winfrey, and $600,000 to Reverend Al Sharpton. Trump emphasized that none of the celebrities performed or contributed meaningfully, calling it a misuse of campaign funds and accusing them of falsifying financial records. He concluded with a demand for the prosecution of Vice President Kamala Harris and others “who broke the law.” Trump's latest explosive allegations have reignited debates on the legality of political endorsements, celebrity influence in elections, and campaign financing ethics. His claims, if proven, could carry legal and electoral consequences. The White House and Democratic Party are yet to respond. #TrumpVsKamala #EndorsementScandal #CelebrityFraud #BeyoncePolitics #TrumpTruthSocial #KamalaHarris #ElectionFraudClaims #CampaignCorruption #PoliticalEndorsement #OprahWinfrey #DonaldTrumpNews #Sharpton #DemocratsScandal #IllegalPayments #BreakingPolitics #TrumpAllegesFraud #2024ElectionControversy #TruthSocialPost #TrumpDemandsProsecution ~ED.346~HT.408~GR.125~
