Trump is reportedly considering Richard Grenell for the role of special envoy for the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Known for his diplomatic experience and controversial views, Grenell could play a crucial role in facilitating peace negotiations. He opposes Ukraine’s NATO membership and has advocated for "autonomous zones" in conflict areas. Trump’s plan includes halting Ukraine's NATO aspirations and establishing a freeze along the front line to advance a peaceful resolution. #Trump #RichardGrenell #Ukraine #PeaceNegotiations #NATO #Grenell #UkraineConflict #SpecialEnvoy #DiplomaticRole #PeaceNegotiations #NATO #RussiaUkraine #SerbiaKosovo #ForeignPolicy #USDiplomacy #Oneindia #OneindiaNews ~HT.97~PR.362~ED.155~GR.124~

Putin’s 2nd Warning to U.S, NATO in 24 Hours| Oreshnik Missiles Ready for… | World War III Soon? [Video]

Putin’s 2nd Warning to U.S, NATO in 24 Hours| Oreshnik Missiles Ready for… | World War III Soon?

In a dramatic escalation, Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued his second warning to the U.S. and NATO in just 24 hours, announcing the readiness of Russia’s powerful Oreshnik hypersonic missile system. The missile, a game-changer in modern warfare, is poised to be deployed in combat as a key strategic asset in Russia’s arsenal. With no current means of interception by any nation, the Oreshnik missile's devastating power and precision could redefine the global military balance. This latest development signals growing tensions between Russia and the West, as fears of a wider conflict, potentially spiralling into World War III, intensify. #PutinsWarning #OreshnikMissiles #WorldWarIII #NATOThreat #RussiaVsUSA #HypersonicWeapons #GlobalTensions #MilitaryEscalation #PutinVsNATO #ColdWarReloaded #NATOInCrisis #RussiaDefense #RussianMissiles #GeopoliticalCrisis #WWIIIAlert ~HT.318~PR.152~ED.346~CA.298~

Putin Vs. NATO? UK Military Declares It’s Ready to Fight ‘Tonight’ If… | World War III Imminent?

The United Kingdom has issued a strong warning, declaring its military is prepared to join the fight against Russia “tonight” if Moscow escalates aggression in Eastern Europe. Lieutenant General Sir Rob Magowan assured the Commons Defence Committee of the British Army's readiness, stating that any Russian invasion would be met with immediate resistance. Amid growing tensions over Ukraine, where Kyiv has launched strikes using US-supplied Atacms missiles, and concerns about NATO's eastern flank, the UK has bolstered its presence in Estonia and remains committed to defending Europe. As fears of a broader conflict loom, the possibility of World War III grows ever more tangible. #PutinVsNATO #UKMilitary #PutinOreshnikMissileStrike #WorldWarIII #RussianAggression #EasternEuropeConflict #NATOReadiness #UKDefense #RussiaInvasion #TensionsRising #GlobalConflict #UKArmy #NATOAlliance #DefendEurope #MilitaryAlert #NATOResponse ~PR.152~ED.346~HT.336~GR.124~

Putin’s Aide Medvedev’s Warns Ukraine: Oreshnik Missile Use Could Trigger ‘Severe Consequences’

Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev has warned that the deployment of the Oreshnik missile in Ukraine marks a pivotal shift in the ongoing conflict, with potentially severe consequences. In an interview with Al Arabiya, Medvedev stated that the missile's use could drastically change the course of Russia's "special military operation" in Ukraine. This missile, fired in retaliation for Western weapons used against Russian territory, has the capability to reach targets across Europe, amplifying the risk of further escalation. Russian President Vladimir Putin echoed this sentiment, emphasising that the missile’s continued use would depend on security threats to Russia. Medvedev’s remarks come amid rising tensions over NATO’s involvement and the growing possibility of nuclear escalation in the conflict. #OreshnikMissile #MedvedevWarning #RussiaUkraineConflict #PutinUkraine #MilitaryEscalation #NuclearThreshold #OreshnikMissileStrike #RussiaRetaliation #PutinStatements #UkraineWar2024 #LongRangeMissile #StrategicEscalation #UkraineCrisis #RussiaDefense #MedvedevWarning ~HT.318~PR.152~ED.346~GR.121~
