‘He Was NOT Told’: Trump SNUBBED By Zelensky Before MAJOR Drone Strike On Russian Airfields

Oneindia

President Trump was not informed in advance about Ukraine’s bold drone offensive—Operation Spiderweb—which targeted four Russian air bases and damaged over 40 bombers. The White House, via Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, confirmed Trump’s exclusion following reports from Axios and Ukrainian officials. The June 1 operation, coordinated by Ukraine’s Security Service using smuggled FPV drones, struck deep within Russian territory. The revelation raises key questions about U.S.-Ukraine intelligence sharing and Trump’s role in global security decisions as he heads into the 2024 election spotlight.    #Trump #Ukraine #Russia #DroneStrike #OperationSpiderweb #WhiteHouse #KarolineLeavitt #FPVDrones #USPolitics #GlobalSecurity #Axios #Putin #UkrainianIntel #RussianAirBases #DroneWarfare #BreakingNews #DefenseNews #MilitaryStrike #Trump2024 #SecurityBriefing #WarInUkraine #InternationalRelations #UkraineRussiaWar #SpyOps #GeoPolitics #NationalSecurity #UkraineIntel #RussianMilitary #USUkraineTies #SBU #UkraineOffensive  Also Read  Trump Doubles Steel, Aluminium Tariffs To 50%, Excludes UK: "Vital For America's 'National Security'" :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-doubles-steel-aluminium-tariffs-to-50-excludes-uk-vital-for-americas-national-security-4171703.html?ref=DMDesc  Rahul Gandhi Targets PM Modi, Says Prime Minister Surrendered After Donald Trump's 'Ceasefire' Call :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/rahul-gandhi-targets-pm-modi-says-prime-minister-surrendered-after-donald-trumps-ceasefire-call-4171423.html?ref=DMDesc  India-US Trade Deal Likely Soon, Says Trump Aide: 'Not Too Distant Future Because...' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/india-us-trade-deal-likely-soon-says-trump-aide-not-too-distant-future-because-4170765.html?ref=DMDesc    ~ED.346~GR.122~

00:00He urged both leaders to sit down and talk directly with one another.

00:03He's working hard to solve this conflict, and that's where his mind is right now on it.

00:06The president's thinking on the Russia-Ukraine war as it stands,

00:10I've spoke to him about it just this morning,

00:12is he remains positive at the progress that we've seen.

00:15Again, he urged both leaders to sit down and talk directly with one another,

00:19and they did that.

00:20Russia handed over a memorandum of peace or a peace plan

00:24or a suggestion of one, I understand, to the Ukrainian side.

00:26They also agreed upon the exchange of prisoners or hostages from each other's countries.

00:31So he remains positive about the progress that we're seeing,

00:34but he also is a realist,

00:36and he realizes these are two countries that are at war and have been for a long time

00:40because of his predecessor's weakness and incompetence.

00:43So he's working hard to solve this conflict,

00:45and that's where his mind is right now on it.

00:47Jonathan, go ahead.

00:48Same topic, just to put a finer point on it.

00:51Does President Trump approve of Ukraine's decision to strike nuclear-capable bombers in Russia?

00:58I would like to let the President speak on that himself.

01:00And just to follow up, has the President...

01:03I would just add to that.

01:04The President does not want to see this war prolonged.

01:07He wants the fighting to stop.

01:08He wants people to stop dying,

01:09and he wants this to be solved at the negotiating table.

01:12The reason he is so deeply involved

01:16and has spent so much time and effort on this war

01:18is because he hates to see people dying.

01:21Again, these are not Americans that are being killed.

01:22These are Russians and these are Ukrainians.

01:24This is a war very far away.

01:25But this President truly cares about peace,

01:28and that's what he wants to see.

01:30What is President Trump doing to ensure

01:32that a similar internal drone attack doesn't happen here in the U.S.,

01:38given this was done at pretty low cost, very stealthily?

01:42You know, it obviously raises questions about our own security,

01:45particularly for U.S. aircraft here.

01:47It absolutely does.

01:48And that's why the President nominated Secretary Hegseth

01:51and has approved some of the changes that have been made at the Pentagon

01:55to ensure that we have the most lethal fighting force in the world

01:58and that the United States military is the best, the biggest.

02:02That's why he wants the One Big Beautiful Bill to be passed,

02:04because it increases our defense spending.

02:06It's why he also launched the announcement of the Golden Dome

02:09to prevent from missile strikes and attacks in the future.

02:12And the President has a full understanding, I can tell you,

02:14because I've spoken to him about it,

02:16about the future of warfare and how drones are a big part of that.

02:19And I will not get ahead of our policy team,

02:21but I think you can expect to see some executive action on that front

02:24in the very near future.
