Trump was not informed of Ukraine attack on Russia
The Hill ^ | Sun, June 1, 2025 | Tara Suter

President Trump was not informed of a recent Ukrainian attack on Russia, The Hill’s sister network NewsNation confirmed Sunday.

An administration official told NewsNation’s Tanya Noury that the president was not given a heads-up about the drone attack that a Ukrainian security official alleged destroyed more than 40 planes well within Russian territory, according to The Associated Press.

The AP reported Sunday that the Ukrainian attack was worked on for one and a half years, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky personally supervising it, per the security official.

“We are doing everything to protect our independence, our state, and our people. I outlined the tasks for the near term,” Zelensky said in a post on the social platform X on Sunday.

This alone is reason for Trump to cut Ukraine off permanently.

Anyone within the CIA or military that knew about this attack and didn't inform Trump needs to lose his or her job.

This was deliberate attempt to sabotage Trump's peace efforts.

It's an escalation that Trump most certainly has said he didn't want to see happen since it could easily lead to World War III or nuclear.

My money’s on the British. The Germans fumble the spy stuff, but the Brits excel at it.

It ABSOLUTELY required the use of US assets.

It was a rogue operation.

Ukraine would be well advised to remove Zelensky from power one way or another.

“”It ABSOLUTELY required the use of US assets.

Is that why Linda Graham and her buddy Blumenthal went there? They both want to undermine President Trump.

Russia doesn't ask anyone's permission, nor issue any apologies, when it launches attacks deep into Ukraine. No reason Ukraine should do it unless they were using foreign-supplied weaponry in violation of an express agreement with the country that supplied that weaponry.

No evidence that was the case here, so good on the Ukes for destroying more valuable Russian war gear.

Graham and Blumenthal knew all about it, they went and facilitated it... They undermined Trump to make sure this war never ends.

If Trump did not know, he has bigger problems as you mentioned.

Can’t imagine why Zelensky wouldn’t trust him.

Yep, absolutely, without any question... Will anything happen to them? No... Because all but five Republicans, and all of the Democrats in Congress approve.

I wonder how many more drone boxes are sitting around deep in Russia.

Putin doesn’t want peace with Ukraine, he wants to swallow it.

The blob’s mindless cheering of strikes on an adversary’s strategic forces without any thought of second and third-order effects has serious Dr. Strangelove vibes.

What is the off-ramp envisioned by the blob?

Apparently, they used Ukrainian-made drones and bombs. The whole thing was done on the cheap:

They are apparently using brains, while Russia continues to use brawn.

I think you’re right. There’s a high likelihood of elements of our government being involved.

There’s virtually no way US intelligence didn’t know about this plan.

Not telling the CIC would be criminally negligent.

This is far more than an attempt to sabotage President Trump's peace efforts.

The larger goals is goad Russia into a dramatic, large scale offensive which will sway public opinion and allow Zlensky’s allies in Congress to tie a multi hundred billion dollar continuation of Biden's Ukrainian military and financial aid package into the Big Beautiful Budget Bill.

This will allow our Congressional leaders to hold Trump's budget deal hostage to the Ukrainian military/financial aid package.

This pretty much explains the timing of Lindsey Graham's visit to Ukraine.

Frankly, President Trump's hopes of ending this debacle are fading fast and he really needs an exit strategy.

He may be being played by Putin but he is being masterfully played by the Congressional Ukraine War Caucus and by Merz. Macron and Starmer.

If the Russians take the bait and blow up the battle field, there is a very good chance Trump is going to be cornered into signing a continuation of the Ukraine aid package.

Trump wasn’t informed of the attack on Putin’s helicopter either.
