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

According to NewsNation’s Tanya Noury, an administration official said 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.

    Up until now the Ukrainian military conferred with the USA as to what targets to strike. The us provided a great deal of intelligence.

      This is an incredibly covert operation that has been in play since before 2025. If the headline was “Pentagon aware, President wasn’t” that would again be a different story. There are countless stories of the man being a walking national security risk - unless we have proof that they went around him, this is just diluting that conversation.
