Lithuanian Team Disqualified from International Event for Anti-Russia T-shirt Endorsed by Zelensky

Lithuanian athlete Kornelija Dudaite was disqualified from the 2024 Super Worlds fitness competition in Hungary after wearing a controversial 'Make Russia Small Again' T-shirt.

The slogan, which was popularized by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, led to Dudaite’s removal from the event for violating sportsmanship rules.

Despite Russian nationals competing under a neutral flag, Dudaite expressed her strong opposition to their presence and stood firm in her political stance.

UK and France Secretly Discuss Deploying Troops to Ukraine as Peacekeepers Amid Ongoing War: Report

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron have reportedly discussed deploying European peacekeeping troops to Ukraine, according to the Telegraph. While Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky supports the idea, Starmer remains hesitant due to concerns over troop safety and possible escalation. Macron also proposed the idea to Poland, which declined involvement. The plan may align with reports of Donald Trump’s proposal for non-NATO European troops along the Russia-Ukraine demilitarized zone.

VIDEO| Putin’s Men Claim Major Victory Near Pokrovsk | Ukrainian Leopard Tank Destroyed

Russian forces have claimed a significant victory near the strategic city of Pokrovsk in Donbass, successfully capturing fortified Ukrainian positions after a fierce assault. A video released by Russia's Ministry of Defense shows the destruction of a German-made Leopard tank, hit by a missile strike. Drone footage captures the devastating moment as the missile strikes the Ukrainian tank, followed by the collapse of a nearby shelter. The attack also involved suicide drones targeting deep trenches and dugout shelters. Despite heavy casualties on both sides, Russian troops have made substantial progress, intensifying the threat to the already vulnerable Pokrovsk. The city remains a crucial supply hub for Ukrainian defenses but is increasingly under pressure from Russian advances. #PokrovskVictory #RussianAdvances #UkrainianResistance #LeopardTankDestroyed #DonbassWar #PutinsTroops #UkrainianFrontlines #MilitaryVictory #MissileStrike #SuicideDrones #WarInUkraine #DonbassConflict #UkrainianCasualties #RussianOffensive #TankDestruction Also Read From Russia With Love: 7-Foot-Tall 'Muscular Baba' Draws Attention In Maha Kumbh With His Chiselled Physique :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/from-russia-with-love-7-foot-tall-muscular-baba-draws-attention-in-maha-kumbh-with-his-chiselled-4045243.html?ref=DMDesc After Latest Death, India Seeks Release of Citizens In Russian Military Forces :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/after-latest-death-india-seeks-release-of-citizens-in-russian-military-forces-4042229.html?ref=DMDesc Russia Warns of Severe Environmental Damage from Oil Spill in Kerch Strait Cleanup Efforts :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-environmental-damage-oil-tankers-cleanup-011-4031223.html?ref=DMDesc
