<p>Russia's President Vladimir Putin has warned that Moscow is considering "asymmetric" measures against Ukraine's use of Western-supplied weapons in Russian territory, including arming adversaries of the West.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Putin's remarks came at a meeting with heads of international news agencies on Wednesday (June 5), on the sidelines of the St Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF). The remarks follow confirmation by a US senator and a western official that Ukraine has recently used US weapons to strike inside Russia.</p>

<p>"Secondly, if someone deems it possible to supply such weapons to the war zone, to strike our territory… why shouldn't we supply similar weapons to those regions of the world, where they will be used against sensitive sites of these countries?" the Russian president added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"We can respond asymmetrically. We will give it a thought."</p>

<p>The Russian president said that if the West continues to escalate, it "will completely destroy international relations and undermine international security".</p>

<p>"If we see that these countries are being drawn into a war against us, and this is their direct participation in the war against Russia, then we reserve the right to act in a similar way. This is a recipe for very serious problems," he warned.</p>

<p>Donald Trump is confident about winning the race to White House&nbsp;this&nbsp;November despite his conviction in hush money trial and a number of legal challenges for the former US president. But now it has emerged that the Trump campaign has begun vetting vice presidential contenders for the former president.</p>

<p>According to a report in the New York post, Senators Marco Rubio,&nbsp;JD Vance and Tim Scott have all recently exchanged several vetting documents with Trump’s campaign.</p>

<p>Similarly, Representatives Byron Donalds, Elise Stefanik, Republican North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum and former Trump administration Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson's credentials too are being vetted.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The source cited by the New York Post added that the vetting process has been in the works for the past month.</p>

<p>Earlier, the Associated Press reported that the paperwork process for potential running mates for Donald Trump had begun.</p>

<p>But now details have emerged about Trump's potential running mates.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“Anyone claiming to know who or when President Trump will choose his VP is lying, unless the person is named Donald J Trump,” Trump campaign spokesman Brian Hughes said in a statement.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“We have so many,” Trump told the outlet when asked to name his top three choices. "I don’t want to do that, we have so many."</p>

According to a report in the New York post, Senators Marco Rubio, JD Vance and Tim Scott have all recently exchanged several vetting documents with Trump’s campaign. Similarly, Representatives Byron Donalds, Elise Stefanik, Republican North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum and former Trump administration Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson's credentials too are being vetted. Also read | Donald Trump blames 'Biden and his people' for hush money conviction The source cited by the New York Post added that the vetting process has been in the works for the past month. Earlier, the Associated Press reported that the paperwork process for potential running mates for Donald Trump had begun. But now details have emerged about Trump's potential running mates. “Anyone claiming to know who or when President Trump will choose his VP is lying, unless the person is named Donald J Trump,” Trump campaign spokesman Brian Hughes said in a statement.

Currently, Donald Trump is the presumptive US presidential nominee. The convention runs from July 15 to 18 and mostly nominees for vice president are confirmed on the second last night of the event. “We have so many,” Trump told the outlet when asked to name his top three choices. "I don’t want to do that, we have so many." “We have many people who would do a fantastic job,” he added. (With inputs from agencies)

Trump begins digging deeper to choose his possible 2024 running mate. Who are in fray?

<p>One in four young children are at risk of stunted development due to restricted diet, a UN report has found. Such restricted diet, the report added, also harms children's brain development and chances of survival.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In its latest report, UN's children's agency UNICEF assessed diets of under-five children. It found that nearly 181 million children from almost 100 countries consuming, at most, only two food groups on a daily basis – typically milk with a starchy food such as rice, maize or wheat.</p>

<p>A former production inspector for a Boeing supplier Spirit AeroSystems, who reportedly worked for 12 years in the company, has raised serious concerns about the safety of Boeing aircraft.

Delhi Lok Sabha Election Results 2024: BJP has won all seven seats in India's national capital Delhi, the original headquarters and stronghold of Aam Admi Party led by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

Delhi Lok Sabha Election Results 2024: BJP has won all seven seats in India's national capital Delhi, the original headquarters and stronghold of Aam Admi Party led by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. The voting was held across Delhi's seven Lok Sabha seats on May 25. The Bharatiya Janata Party swept the seven seats here both in 2014 and 2019. This time, the ruling party is up against the alliance between Aam Aadmi Party and Congress, who have banded together as part of the larger Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) across India. The BJP fielded veteran leader late Sushma Swaraj's daughter Bansuri Swaraj from the New Delhi seat, one of the most high-profile seats in the country whose voting list constitutes top ministers, bureaucrats and the officialdom of India's corridors of power. Swaraj is up against Aam Aadmi Party's Somnath Bharti, the AAP MLA from Malviya Nagar in New Delhi.
