Russia Accuses Quad Nations Of ‘Forcing’ India Into Military Bloc, Urges Revival Of RIC Alliance
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has accused Quad nations — the US, Japan, and Australia — of dragging India into a de facto military alliance, despite Delhi’s stated focus on economic ties.
Speaking at a Eurasian security forum, Lavrov warned of coordinated naval drills aimed at militarizing Quad beyond its original scope.
He also pushed to revive the dormant Russia-India-China (RIC) trilateral platform, asserting that Western powers are deliberately stoking Indo-China tensions by reframing the region as "Indo-Pacific" with anti-China goals.
His remarks signal Moscow’s shifting strategic focus in Asia.

In a fiery UN Security Council address, Russia’s envoy Vassily Nebenzia accused Ukrainian President Zelensky of clinging to power by avoiding elections and embezzling billions in Western aid. He claimed European nations are forcing Kyiv to fight until the last Ukrainian falls, all while pushing their anti-Russia agenda. With Ukraine allegedly nearing collapse, Russia says the West is prolonging a "senseless meat grinder" of war. The scathing remarks reflect Moscow’s escalating rhetorical offensive amid deepening global divides over the Ukraine conflict.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić has ordered a full probe and vowed to halt any arms exports if private firms are involved after Russia accused that Serbia secretly supplied weapons to Ukraine. The Report by Russian Intel has triggered political uproar in Belgrade. Russian intel alleges hundreds of thousands of shells and small arms rounds reached Kyiv via intermediaries across Europe and Africa. Past Pentagon leaks and Financial Times reports echo similar claims, despite Serbian officials denying direct involvement and blaming rogue intermediaries for unauthorized arms transfers.

U.S Trade War: Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov declared that Moscow won’t chase the U.S. for sanctions relief, despite bilateral trade plunging 95% from its peak a decade ago. Speaking to Kommersant, Lavrov criticized U.S. sanctions as destructive to globalization, saying they’ve only backfired on the West. He emphasized Russia’s pivot towards Asia and the Global South, and stressed economic independence.

China has lashed out at U.S. Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth following his remarks at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, where he warned that China could imminently use military force against Taiwan. Beijing condemned the speech as provocative and divisive, accusing Hegseth of inciting bloc confrontation and pushing a Cold War mentality. China's foreign ministry dismissed the U.S. accusations as defamatory and asserted that only Washington deserved the label of a hegemonic power. The fiery exchange underscores growing regional tensions over Taiwan and the Indo-Pacific power balance.

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a dramatic warning of potential war with China, yet claimed the U.S. seeks no conflict. In a speech filled with paradoxes and Pentagon code, Hegseth promised “peace through strength — seen and unseen, overt and covert.” He emphasized that the U.S. will not humiliate or subjugate China but is fully prepared for confrontation. The remarks deepen concerns over rising tensions in the Indo-Pacific, suggesting a looming power struggle between Washington and Beijing conducted in part through shadowy, undisclosed means.

At the Shangri-La Dialogue, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth declared that China would not dare invade Taiwan while Donald Trump remains in office, warning that Beijing poses a real and possibly imminent threat. Hegseth urged Asian allies to increase defense spending and prepare for a potential regional conflict. He affirmed Trump’s Indo-Pacific focus and emphasized consequences for any Chinese aggression. With China skipping the summit, Hegseth’s comments take on sharper geopolitical meaning, signaling America’s hard stance and strategic pivot toward Asia’s growing security challenges.

Pakistan is staring at a water disaster as India holds the Indus Waters Treaty of 1960 in abeyance. The flow of water from rivers like Chenab and Jhelum has plummeted, with Punjab province the worst affected. Water availability in the Indus system is down by over 10%, raising alarm for the approaching kharif season. Pakistan's key dams—Tarbela and Mangla—are also below optimal levels. The crisis follows India’s suspension of the treaty after the Pahalgam terror attack, and Pakistan has warned that blocking water flow could be considered an "act of war."

Following Ukraine’s Operation ‘Spider’s Web’ that destroyed 40 Russian bombers, Moscow has vowed massive retaliation, with President Putin reportedly ordering the RS-26 Oreshnik hypersonic missiles to be prepared. These nuclear-capable MIRVed weapons can strike deep into Europe and NATO territories. With Germany, the UK, and France backing Ukraine militarily, tensions are at a boiling point. Russia has warned that NATO troop presence in Ukraine would trigger direct escalation. As nuclear threats loom, fears of a global World War III grow more realistic.

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte has declared Ukraine's path to NATO membership “irreversible.” But this bold statement comes after months of wavering remarks from both Rutte and other Western leaders, who had earlier ruled out such a move. Critics argue that the alliance’s indecisiveness is dragging the war on, giving mixed signals to both Kyiv and Moscow. As Ukraine fights to survive, NATO's promises remain non-committal, raising questions about whether the “irreversible” path is real or rhetorical. Ukraine’s future hangs between hope and hesitation.

Ukrainian media has released the full text of Ukraine’s proposed peace memorandum to Russia, published in both English and Ukrainian. The key demand: a 30-day unconditional ceasefire. But Moscow has slammed the proposal, dismissing it outright as a “non-starter.” As Kyiv pushes for diplomatic breakthroughs, the Kremlin shows no interest in compromise. This latest move adds fuel to the fire of diplomatic tension, raising questions about the possibility of peace—or whether this memo is just another document destined to be ignored.
