North Korea Fires Missile During Blinken's Visit to South Korea – Provocation Amid Political Turmoil

North Korea has conducted a ballistic missile test coinciding with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken's visit to South Korea for high-level diplomatic talks. The missile, believed to be an intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM), traveled over 1,100 kilometers before landing in the sea. South Korea's military condemned the act as a "clear provocation," while the timing raises questions about Pyongyang's intent to influence the summit discussions. As tensions rise, South Korea, the U.S., and Japan are coordinating their response.

Trump Echoes Putin's Propaganda, Shifts Blame For Ukraine Invasion Onto NATO and Biden

Donald Trump has sharply criticized President Joe Biden for mishandling tensions between Russia, Ukraine, and NATO, accusing the U.S. leader of sparking the ongoing war in Ukraine. Trump argued that Biden's push for Ukraine to join NATO, despite Russia's long standing opposition, was a key trigger for the conflict. He claimed that Washington violated a prior understanding with Russia regarding NATO's expansion limits, setting the stage for what he described as a "disaster" that could have been avoided. Trump further warned that the conflict could escalate and worsen, and expressed regret that preventing the war in 2022 would have been easier than resolving it now. He also reiterated his belief that he could broker a resolution, albeit acknowledging the complexity of the situation. #TrumpBidenUkraineWar #NATOExpansionDisaster #BidenMistakes #UkraineCrisis #TrumpOnBiden #TrumpCriticizesBiden #USRussiaTensions #NATOSparkedWar #TrumpUkraineComments #BidenFailedNegotiations #RussiaUkraineConflict #TrumpOnWar #UkraineNATOControversy #NATOExpansionCriticism #TrumpUkraineResolution Also Read Trudeau Rejects Trump’s Annexation Threat; Poilievre Vows To Strengthen Canada :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trudeau-rejects-trump-s-annexation-threat-poilievre-vows-to-strengthen-canada-4036629.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Threatens 'All Hell' If Hamas Hostages Aren't Released By Inauguration :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-threatens-all-hell-if-hamas-hostages-arent-released-by-inauguration-4036605.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Threatens To Use Economic Pressure To Make Canada The 51st State :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-threatens-to-use-economic-pressure-to-make-canada-the-51st-state-4036559.html?ref=DMDesc

In a bold move, Keith Kellogg, an incoming aide to President Donald Trump, has revealed an ambitious plan to end the Russia-Ukraine war within 100 days of Trump's inauguration. Kellogg emphasized Trump's goal of restarting direct negotiations between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. While Trump has vowed to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty, he aims to mediate a resolution that could involve freezing current frontlines as part of the peace negotiations.

Ukraine Collapsing Over Presidency? Zelensky Threatens Zaluzhny Amid Rising Russian Threat

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky may press criminal charges against former military chief Valery Zaluzhny if he challenges him for the presidency in the upcoming election. Despite the ongoing conflict with Russia, Zelensky plans to run for re-election, capitalizing on his current 52% approval rating. Zaluzhny, currently Ukraine's ambassador to the UK and considered Zelensky's main rival, has not revealed any political ambitions. However, sources suggest Zelensky’s administration has offered Zaluzhny a prominent role in his party if he refrains from running. If Zaluzhny enters the race, he could face investigations, including one related to the fall of Kherson to Russian forces in 2022. #ZelenskyVsZaluzhny #UkrainePresidency2025 #ZelenskyRival #ZaluzhnyChallenge #UkrainePolitics #UkrainianElection2025 #ZelenskyLegalAction #KhersonFallInvestigation #UkrainianRivalry #UkraineLeadership #ZelenskyThreatens #ZaluzhnyPolitics #UkrainePresidentialRace #ZelenskyVsOpposition #UkraineElectionBattle ~PR.152~ED.194~HT.336~GR.124~

This comes as part of a plan to potentially grant Assad Russian citizenship in recognition of his efforts. With Assad now seeking refuge in Russia after being overthrown, this proposal raises questions about his future role in Russia’s strategic goals and the broader rebuilding efforts in war-torn regions.
