Trump finds new leverage in Ukraine fight with Tomahawk threat and long-range strike authorization
President authorizes long-range strikes into Russia while considering Tomahawk cruise missiles for Kyiv
By Morgan Phillips
Fox News
September 29, 2025 3:53pm EDT
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-finds-new-leverage-ukraine-fight-tomahawk-threat-long-range-strike-authorization

“President Donald Trump is flexing new leverage in the war in Ukraine — allowing the nation to use U.S. weapons to strike deep into Russia, weighing whether to provide Kyiv with Tomahawk cruise missiles and vowing Ukraine can take back all its land — while pressing China and India to slash purchases of Russian oil.

Ukraine supporters are cheering the shift, noting that after months of frustration over the grinding conflict, Trump appears to be changing tactics. From a combative February meeting with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to his declaration last week that Ukraine could reclaim all of its original territory, the president is signaling a harder line on Moscow.

On “Fox News Sunday,” Ukraine envoy Keith Kellogg revealed that Trump had authorized long-range Ukrainian strikes inside Russia. Vice President JD Vance added that the administration is weighing whether to send Tomahawk missiles, a capability the Biden White House had denied. The weapons would be funded by European partners.’ EXCERPT

It is fascinating to follow internet "breadcrumbs" to find where they lead. "Konstatin" has his trail as do most, so....

"Donate to
Breakfast Club Productions, LLc
INSIDE RUSSIA Support

Source: INSIDE RUSSIA Support

Patreon

So where is Breakfast Club Productions, LLc? Turns out he and his LLC are in the Riviera Bay neighborhood of St. Petersburg, Florida.

Konstantin Samoilov
"The BREAKFAST CLUB PRODUCTIONS, LLC managed by the one person from St. Petersburg on following positions: Auth...."
7901 4th St N, Ste 300,
St. Petersburg, FL 33702

"BREAKFAST CLUB PRODUCTIONS, LLC is an Active company incorporated on April 25, 2023 with the registered number L23000204570. "

Source: U.S. Business Finder

Internet breadcrumbs brings this:

"He is also known for creating a Russian-Ukrainian support group called 'Tashkent Breakfast Club,' which brings Russian and Ukrainian refugees together for reconciliation and mutual support. He also co-founded a charity called 'Brain Drain Unlimited Foundation,' which helps Russian and Ukrainian refugees find new homes in America."

Source: Famous Birthdays INSIDE RUSSIA YouTube Star

That's interesting. So this YouTube star founded:

"Brain Drain Unlimited was born in late 2022 when Russian‑born activist Konstantin Samoilov, who fled political persecution, connected with U.S. business veteran Manus MacLean. Konstantin’s journey – from leaving Russia amid authoritarian crackdowns to resettling in Uzbekistan alongside millions of displaced Ukrainians and Russians – revealed a shared conviction: America benefits immeasurably by welcoming talented refugees."

Source: Our Mission Brain Drain Unlimited

More details about this Delaware-based 501(c)3 "charity: ---

Board of Directors
The highest governing body of the organization, responsible for strategic decisions and oversight of activities. Includes Co-Founders Manus MacLean and Konstantin Samoilov, as well as a rotating board of up to 9 additional members.

Officers President: Konstantin Samoilov

Source: Full Legal Name of Organization: Brain Drain Unlimited Foundation Legal Address: 8 The Green, Suite 8426, Dover, DE 19901

But the main address is not in St. Petersburg, nor in Tashkent, but in Philadelphia, as of 5/24/2025 with "Konstantin Samoilov Co-Founder."

100 S Juniper St Fl 3
Philadelphia, PA 19107-1316 USA

Brain Drain Unlimited Foundation Board of directors as of 5/24/2025

Continuing the trail of links, "inside Russia?" Nope. Turns out that "The Breakfasts in Tashkent Сlub" was the subject of a Tashkent Times article, from which:

"We asked Konstantin, the founder of 'The Breakfasts', and Kirill, one of the regular members of the club, to tell us about this community and about their life in Tashkent. Each of this two expats is 48 years old (although the age range of all club members is quite large), each has a family and a job, but they always find time for 'The Breakfasts in Tashkent'.

"Konstantin's story. New perspectives and culture shock

"– Uzbekistan is a special place for me. I lived here in 2011 and 2012, fell in love with this country back then."

Source: The Breakfasts in Tashkent Сlub. Uzbekistan through the eyes of Russian expats The Tashkent Times, 23 September 2024.

So he lived in Tashkent as early as 2011 and 2012, is being interviewed there in 2024. Moreover he lived in the United States in the 90s, and has been in Tashkent, Uzbekistan for years.

This explains his earlier YouTube videos titled --

"TASHKENT BREAKFAST CLUB: WHERE RUSSIAN REFUGEES MEET IN UZBEKISTAN" dated Nov 12, 2022,

"HOW TO MAKE 1 MILLION DOLLARS WORKING IN UZBEKISTAN | A Digital Nomad Story | Part 1," dated May 1, 2021

"HOW TO MAKE 1 MILLION DOLLARS WORKING IN UZBEKISTAN | A Digital Nomad Story | Part 2," dated May 26, 2021

"HOW I FELT IN LOVE WITH AMERICA | My Personal Story," dated Apr 16, 2021.

Bringing this up to date, he has a "private" video for his subscribers:

HELLO, MY 3RD FALL IN UZBEKISTAN! WELCOME TO THE VIRTUAL PUB! Live Stream For Members Of B On the Buy Me a Coffee fund raising site. 13 September 2025.

And here he is, on YouTube again on another channel:

Legal Pathways: Brain Drain's Mission Brain Drain, Aug 1, 2025

The Brain Drain channel, according to YouTube itself, "Joined Feb 21, 2025

All in all, as one tracks back "Konstatin" and "Inside Russia," one finds he has lived in the United States, lives in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, has traveled between and is mostly, by dating his own information about himself, NOT resident in Russia.

For an estimate of his one YouTube channel among the several he operated / operates, see:

Social Blade on "Inside Russia" A channel begun 15 October 2018.

"Inside Russia" is inside Uzbekistan when nor sometimes inside the USA, because a board member of a US non-profit has to be here sometime to fulfill the tax requirements. A frequent flyer? On what passport does he travel? Not Russian, for sure.

Tashkent Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club LLC, in St. Petersburg, Florida. Principal in at least on US tax-deductible foundation. And there is more to be gleaned.

But he isn't "inside Russia." And he likes his donations in USD, gathered through US-based donation and payment sites. Money. It's what's for breakfast in St. Petersburg, Florida and Tashkent, Uzbekistan.

Good job following the money-trail!

Because, as usual, it’s all about the money with these folks. The truth isn’t all that important to them, but that “mah-ney” sure is.

Off to the Tashkent Breakfast Club!
