Lavrov SLAMS Macron, Merz Of Reviving ‘Nazi-Era Instincts’ In Bid To Conquer Europe Again

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has launched a scathing attack on French President Emmanuel Macron and German opposition leader Friedrich Merz, accusing them of attempting to revive Europe's imperialist past. Speaking at a diplomatic event, Lavrov warned that Western leaders were reverting to their “former instincts” of conquest and domination, drawing chilling comparisons between today’s political climate and Nazi-era atrocities. He further stated that “German and Ukrainian Nazis are united by their attitudes toward those they want to enslave,” claiming that just as some “burned Jews,” others now “burn Russians.” Lavrov’s remarks come amid intensifying tensions between Moscow and the West over the war in Ukraine, NATO expansion, and growing European militarization. The inflammatory comments are expected to draw condemnation from European capitals but are in line with Russia’s narrative of positioning itself as a bulwark against Western hegemony and what it calls modern-day fascism. #Lavrov #Macron #Merz #RussiaEuropeTensions #Nazism #UkraineWar #GermanyPolitics #FranceNews #RussianFM #ConqueringEurope #RussianStatement #LavrovSpeech #RussiaVsWest #UkraineConflict #ModernNazism #RussianForeignMinistry #AntiWesternSentiment #RussianNarrative #EuropeanImperialism #LavrovMacronMerz ~HT.410~ED.102~GR.125~

Trump & West Prepare Kyiv For BIGGEST ASSAULT: Final Phase of Russia Ukraine War With Putin

As Trump pledges 10 Patriot missiles to Kyiv, the EU is preparing a massive €100 billion support plan for Ukraine, potentially the largest in the war. Framed as the final phase against Putin’s forces, the package—slated to begin in 2028—would blend grants and soft loans tied to reforms. Proposed under the EU’s next seven-year budget, it signals long-term Western backing. Moscow decries the move as NATO-driven escalation, warning it exposes the EU’s dependency on U.S. strategy. #UkraineWar #TrumpUkraine #EUUkraineAid #PutinWar #NATOSupport #PatriotMissiles #KyivOffensive #BreakingNews #RussiaUkraine #TrumpForeignPolicy #EuropeNews #MilitaryAid #Geopolitics #FinalPhaseWar #UkraineSupport #Ukraine2025 #RussiaSlamsEU #ProxyWar #WesternAlliance #TrumpBacksUkraine #EU100Billion #UKEU #EUDefensePlan #MultilateralAid #RebuildUkraine #NATOvsRussia #USMilitaryAid Also Read Trump Condemns Brazilian Authorities for Alleged Witch Hunt Against Bolsonaro :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-criticises-brazilian-authorities-witch-hunt-bolsonaro-011-7794385.html?ref=DMDesc Israel To Send Ceasefire Team To Qatar A Day Before Trump-Netanyahu Meet :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-to-send-ceasefire-team-to-qatar-a-day-before-trump-netanyahu-meet-7792721.html?ref=DMDesc ‘Great American Pilots Very Upset’: Trump Flips Again on Iran Strike Damage :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-debates-us-strikes-impact-on-iran-nuclear-programme-011-7783495.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~GR.122~

Donald Trump in a stunning U-turn refused to confirm if the U.S. will be supplying Patriot Missiles to Ukraine.

Ukrainian Skies SECURED Again? Trump Sends 'Patriot System' to Counter Massive Russian Air Onslaught [Video]

Ukrainian Skies SECURED Again? Trump Sends 'Patriot System' to Counter Massive Russian Air Onslaught

The United States has confirmed it is sending another Patriot air defense system to Ukraine to help the war-torn nation counter Russia's escalating aerial assaults. This decision comes as former President Donald Trump issued a strong statement, bashing Russian President Vladimir Putin for his aggressive military strategy. For months, Ukraine has pleaded for more advanced air defense, as the previous freeze in U.S. military aid allowed Russian warplanes to dominate the skies and launch devastating strikes with ballistic missiles like the Iskander and the hypersonic Kinzhal. The Patriot system is considered Ukraine's only reliable and effective shield against these specific high-speed threats. Its advanced radar and PAC-3 MSE interceptors are critical for protecting high-value targets, including the capital city of Kyiv, and vital energy infrastructure that Russia has systematically targeted. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that Ukraine needs more of these systems, as the current six to eight units leave vast areas of the country exposed to Russian attacks. However, the deployment is not without risks. Each Patriot missile costs between $2-4 million, and Russia actively targets these valuable systems on the battlefield. The U.S. itself has a limited global inventory of Patriot units, balancing urgent requests from Ukraine with strategic commitments to allies in the Middle East and the South China Sea. This deployment signals a critical phase in the Russia-Ukraine war, testing both Ukrainian resilience and American strategic resolve. #RussiaUkraineWar #PatriotSystem #DonaldTrump #BreakingNews #USPolitics #Zelenskyy #Putin #WorldNews #OneindiaNews #Geopolitics Also Read US President Donald Trump Announces 25% Tariffs On Japan, South Korea :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-donald-trump-announces-25-tariffs-on-japan-south-korea-7794333.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Calls Musk’s America Party Plan ‘Ridiculous’ And ‘Unworkable’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-calls-musk-s-america-party-plan-ridiculous-and-unworkable-7793443.html?ref=DMDesc America Will Be Richer, Safer, and Prouder: Trump As Big, Beautiful Bill Passes Congress :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-s-big-beautiful-bill-passes-congress-in-big-win-for-us-president-011-7790919.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.408~

Germany Prepares for World War III: Big Bunker Expansion, €10B Defense Push, Alarming 2029 Deadline

Germany is ramping up civil defense efforts like never before, with officials warning the country must be "ready for war" by 2029. From underground garages and metro tunnels turning into bunkers to emergency siren upgrades and wartime hospital prep, Berlin is preparing for the unthinkable—a direct confrontation with Russia. Civil defense chief Ralph Tiesler has called for at least €10 billion by the end of the decade, as military spending soars and public fear rises. But is this genuine preparedness or fear-fueled militarization?

Ukraine Hit by Wave of Russian Drone Strikes | Zelensky: “Over 1,200 Drones This Week—Where’s West?”

Russia has launched over 100 drones and missiles in a coordinated overnight assault across Ukraine — striking major cities including Kyiv, Kharkiv, Dnipro, and more. At least 12 people were killed, including civilians in Sumy, Odesa, and Kherson, and 69 others injured, with three children among the wounded. President Volodymyr Zelensky revealed that over 1,200 drones have been fired at Ukraine in the past 7 days, calling on international partners to urgently deliver air defense systems. Russian drones also targeted recruitment centers in Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhia, while Ukrainian air defenses intercepted 75 drones using advanced electronic warfare. This marks the deadliest barrage since Friday’s mega strike of over 530 drones. Is the war entering a more brutal phase?

Putin WINS Ukraine War? Why U.S And NATO Are Pulling Back as Russia Advances in Ukraine | Explained [Video]

Putin WINS Ukraine War? Why U.S And NATO Are Pulling Back as Russia Advances in Ukraine | Explained

The Russia-Ukraine war has entered a brutal new phase. In July 2025, Russia unleashed its largest-ever aerial assault on Kyiv, a sign of its growing dominance on the battlefield. But how did we get here? This in-depth report from Oneindia News examines the seismic shifts that have given Vladimir Putin the upper hand after years of stalemate. The primary catalyst was the 2024 U.S. election and the return of Donald Trump. We analyze how Trump's "America First" policy led to a complete halt in military aid to Ukraine, a stark contrast to the billions pumped in under the Joe Biden administration. From Trump's vow to end the war in "24 hours" to backchannel talks with Moscow, his actions effectively isolated Kyiv and gave Russia a green light to escalate its offensive. Beyond the White House, Russia itself has adapted. Learning from early failures, Moscow embraced a brutal war of attrition, bolstered by massive support from allies like North Korea and Iran, and an economic lifeline from China. With 450,000 new recruits in 2024, Russia’s overwhelming manpower is crushing Ukrainian defenses. Meanwhile, Ukraine is facing a catastrophic crisis of its own. With its military stretched thin, a severe shortage of soldiers and ammunition, and war fatigue setting in, the nation's survival hangs in the balance. Despite innovative tactics like the "Operation Spider's Web" drone strikes, can President Zelenskyy's forces survive without robust Western support? This video explains the intricate web of geopolitics, military strategy, and leadership changes that define the current state of the war. As Russia pushes forward, we ask the critical question: Is Ukraine's defeat now inevitable? #RussiaUkraineWar #Trump #Putin #BreakingNews #WorldNews #OneindiaNews #Zelenskyy #Geopolitics #NATO #USElection #RussiaWinning Also Read America Will Be Richer, Safer, and Prouder: Trump As Big, Beautiful Bill Passes Congress :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-s-big-beautiful-bill-passes-congress-in-big-win-for-us-president-011-7790919.html?ref=DMDesc How Donald Trump's Big Beautiful Tax Bill Could Benefit Indians Living in the US :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/how-donald-trump-big-beautiful-tax-bill-could-benefit-indians-living-in-the-us-7790321.html?ref=DMDesc Trump's Ambitious One Big Beautiful Bill Promises To Bring Sweeping Changes to American Life :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-ambitious-one-big-beautiful-bill-promises-to-bring-sweeping-changes-to-american-life-7789991.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~GR.124~

‘Russia Is Using Banned Chemical Weapons’ NATO Drops Bombshell On Russia Ukraine War | Shocking [Video]

‘Russia Is Using Banned Chemical Weapons’ NATO Drops Bombshell On Russia Ukraine War | Shocking

A bombshell intelligence report from Dutch and German agencies claims that Russia is intensifying its use of chemical weapons in Ukraine. According to the MIVD, AIVD, and Germany’s BND, Russia has deployed chloropicrin, a potentially lethal agent banned under the 1993 Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), signaling a dramatic escalation in battlefield tactics. The agencies warn that chemical warfare has become “standard practice” for Russian troops, with even non-lethal agents like tear gas being used to set the stage for more deadly substances. Dutch Defense Minister Ruben Brekelmans called the trend a “slippery slope” that poses a global threat. NATO allies fear this normalization could break longstanding international norms. Intelligence points to deepening Russian investment in chemical warfare capabilities and coordination by military leadership. With Russia still a CWC signatory, the revelations have sparked diplomatic outrage. The situation threatens to transform the conflict’s nature and legal framework entirely. #RussiaUkraineWar #ChemicalWeapons #Chloropicrin #NATOWarning #RussiaChemicalAttack #UkraineBattlefield #ChemicalAgents #CWCViolation #DutchIntel #GermanIntel #PutinWarTactics #Biowarfare #RussiaCrisis #UkraineConflict #NATOAlert #ToxicGasUsed #BreakingNews #TearGasAbuse #DutchDefenseMinister #MIVDBNDAIVD ~HT.318~PR.152~ED.346~
