Russia's top diplomat accused NATO and the European Union of using Ukraine to declare a "real war" against his country in a speech at the United Nations on Thursday that Britain dismissed as "false fantasy world distortions.

Russia is destabilizing Moldova’s elections, probing NATO’s air defenses, and recalibrating against Trump’s conditional support for Ukraine.

India rejected as "incorrect and baseless" remarks by NATO's chief that suggested Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was contacting Russian President Vladimir Putin over the impact of punitive U.S. tariffs on its purchases of Russian oil.

As you know, NATO’S commitment to WIN has been far less than 100%, and the purchase of Russian Oil, by some, has been shocking!” Trump posted on Truth Social.

NATO emphasized its commitment to Article 5, stating that an attack on one ally is considered an attack on all.

Responding to the Rutte's remarks, New Delhi on Friday said, “NATO chief’s statement is factually incorrect and entirely baseless. We expect the leadership of an important institution like NATO to exercise greater responsibility and accuracy in public statements.

NATO warned Russia on Tuesday that it would use "all necessary military and non-military tools" to defend itself as it condemned Moscow for violating Estonian airspace in a "pattern of increasingly irresponsible behaviour".

From the moment the Russian pilots entered Estonian airspace, they were pursued by Nato’s most advanced fighter jets.
