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

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~

Can Russia DEFEAT the combined strength of NATO? Will the MILITARY alliance overcome Russian might?

Russia has threatened massive retaliation after Ukraine destroyed 40 of its bombers in the daring Op ‘Spider’s Web’. With France, the UK, and Germany vowing to defend Ukraine, any Russian strike could trigger NATO’s Article 5—turning a regional conflict into World War III. This explainer compares the military strength of Russia and NATO across budget, personnel, air/naval power, and nuclear capabilities. While NATO holds a clear edge overall, Russia’s unmatched nuclear arsenal makes global escalation a terrifying possibility. #WWIII #NATOvsRussia #OperationSpidersWeb #RussiaUkraineWar #Article5 #NATOStrength #MilitaryComparison #NuclearThreat #WorldWar3 #UkraineConflict #PutinWarning #RussiaRetaliation #GlobalConflict #DefenceSpending #MilitaryPower #Geopolitics #NuclearArsenal #RussiaVsNATO #WW3Watch #MutuallyAssuredDestruction #AlbertEinsteinQuote #NATOPower #UkraineAllies #WarForecast #StrategicAnalysis #RussianMilitary #NATODefense #BreakingNews #CyberWarfare #HypersonicWeapons #GlobalTensions Also Read Russia: Bridge Collapse Derails Train, At Least 7 Confirmed Dead :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-bridge-collapse-derails-train-at-least-7-confirmed-dead-4169275.html?ref=DMDesc West Pitching China-India Against Each Other: Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/west-pitching-china-india-against-each-other-russian-foreign-minister-sergei-lavrov-4155227.html?ref=DMDesc Russia Marks 80th Anniversary of Nazi Germany's Defeat with Grand Victory Day Parade :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/victory-day-parade-russia-80th-anniversary-defeat-nazi-germany-011-4148945.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.103~GR.124~

Russia over Ukraine for EU? Is EU funding Russia more than Ukraine?

Despite sanctions and pledges to support Ukraine, the EU remains Russia’s biggest fossil fuel customer—spending over €209 billion since 2022. Russia has earned an estimated €885 billion from fossil fuel exports during the war. Donald Trump claimed Europe funds Russia more than it funds Ukraine—an assertion backed by data. While official EU oil imports dropped, pipeline gas and LNG purchases continue, some via shadow fleets. Critics argue this energy dependence prolongs the war and undermines Europe’s stance against Moscow. #RussiaUkraineWar #FossilFuelPolitics #EuropeEnergyCrisis #EUvsRussia #RussianGas #TrumpStatement #UkraineAid #EnergyVsEthics #RussianOil #WarFunding #MoscowMoneyFlow #SanctionsLoophole #ShadowFleet #AlJazeeraReport #EnergyDependence #UkraineSupport #GlobalWitness #GasThroughTurkey #LNGImports #EnergyHypocrisy #PutinFunding #UkraineCrisis #EUForeignPolicy #EnergySanctions #OilPriceFear #EUContradictions #StopRussianEnergy #TrumpVsEurope #GeoEconomics #RussianRevenue #Realpolitik Also Read Russia: Bridge Collapse Derails Train, At Least 7 Confirmed Dead :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/russia-bridge-collapse-derails-train-at-least-7-confirmed-dead-4169275.html?ref=DMDesc West Pitching China-India Against Each Other: Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/west-pitching-china-india-against-each-other-russian-foreign-minister-sergei-lavrov-4155227.html?ref=DMDesc Russia Marks 80th Anniversary of Nazi Germany's Defeat with Grand Victory Day Parade :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/victory-day-parade-russia-80th-anniversary-defeat-nazi-germany-011-4148945.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.124~

Putin RETALIATES After Ukrainian Drone Strike | MiG-31K Jets Take Off With Deadly Kinzhal Missiles

Ukraine has declared a nationwide air alert after Russian MiG-31K jets—capable of carrying Kinzhal aeroballistic missiles—took off, sparking immediate concern of long-range strikes. The Ukrainian Air Force urged civilians to seek shelter. This comes in retaliation for Ukraine’s drone attack on Russian bomber bases, which destroyed over 40 aircraft. Overnight, Russia launched waves of drone strikes on Ukrainian cities, including Donetsk, Kharkiv, and Chernihiv, causing casualties. Failed peace talks in Istanbul and Putin's silence since the air base losses signal deepening conflict and an unpredictable escalation ahead. #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraine #MiG31K #KinzhalMissile #AirAlert #Putin #UkrainianAirForce #DroneStrikes #WarInEurope #Donetsk #Kharkiv #Chernihiv #MilitaryEscalation #RussiaStrikes #UkraineUnderAttack #Zelenskyy #PutinRevenge #Geopolitics #MissileThreat #BreakingNews #ConflictZone #PutinSilence #PeaceTalksFail #MissileAlert #UkrainianDefense #AirRaid #RussiaRetaliation #PutinStrikesBack #MiG31Threat #UkraineCrisis #WarUpdate ~ED.103~HT.318~

Russia In Blackout: Ukraine BOMBS Power Grid Minutes After Peace Talks | Putin’s Warning IGNORED

The Russia-Ukraine war has reached a boiling point. Ukrainian drone strikes late Monday knocked out power across multiple Russian regions, with Zaporozhye and Kherson plunging into darkness. Over 104,000 people were left without electricity, and hospitals are relying on backup generators. The strikes came just hours after failed peace talks in Istanbul, with Kyiv rejecting Moscow's demands. As both sides escalate militarily, Ukraine appears undeterred by the threat of a greater Russian offensive. The conflict is entering a critical, unpredictable phase. #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraine #DroneStrikes #Blackouts #Zaporozhye #Kherson #Putin #Zelensky #UkraineNews #RussiaNews #Kyiv #Moscow #PeaceTalks #Geopolitics #WarNews #BreakingNews #Defense #UkraineConflict #MilitaryNews #PowerOutage #GlobalTensions #NATO #RussiaStrikes #UkrainianArmy #Kremlin #NewsUpdate #WorldNews #WarEscalation #UkraineStrike #EnergyWar #RussiaUkraineCrisis Also Read How Ukraine's 'Operation Spider's Web' Struck Deep Into Russia, Targeted Strategic Airbases :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/how-ukraines-operation-spiders-web-struck-deep-into-russia-targeted-strategic-airbases-4170093.html?ref=DMDesc Ukraine Claims Massive Drone Strike Destroyed 40 Warplanes Deep Inside Russia, Strategic Bombers Damaged :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/ukraine-claims-massive-drone-strike-destroyed-40-warplanes-deep-inside-russia-strategic-bombers-dam-4169967.html?ref=DMDesc 'Something Happened To This Guy': Trump Slams Putin For Russia's Fresh Attack On Ukraine :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/something-happened-to-this-guy-trump-slams-putin-for-russias-fresh-attack-on-ukraine-4163675.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~

Invitation to WORLD WAR III? | Zelensky DISMISSES Russia’s Proposal for CEASEFIRE

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has outrightly rejected Russia’s 2–3 day ceasefire proposal, calling it a "tactic" and branding Russian officials as "idiots." The offer, presented during peace talks in Istanbul, aimed to recover bodies from grey zones for “Christian burial.” Russia also handed over a draft peace memorandum, which Zelensky dismissed as an “ultimatum.” With Russia reportedly prepping nuclear-capable Oreshnik missiles, Zelensky urged the U.S. for more sanctions.

Russia, Ukraine Agree To Swap 6,000 Soldiers’ Bodies As Outcome Of Istanbul Talks | SHOCKING

In a rare gesture of mutual concession, Russia and Ukraine have agreed to swap 6,000 fallen soldiers—three years into a brutal war that has killed tens of thousands. The body exchange agreement was struck during fragile peace talks in Istanbul that lasted barely an hour, following Ukraine’s unprecedented drone strikes deep inside Russian territory. Though hailed by Kyiv as a “brilliant operation,” the strikes failed to generate real diplomatic momentum. With air raids escalating and troops drained, both sides remain locked in a grinding deadlock that diplomacy alone seems unable to resolve. #RussiaUkraineWar #BodyExchange #PeaceTalks #Istanbul #UkraineDrones #Putin #Zelenskyy #WW3 #DroneAttack #MilitaryCasualties #StrategicBombers #Ceasefire #WarNews #UkraineRussiaConflict #POWExchange #WarDead #EasternFront #Airstrikes #RussiaUkraineUpdate #Geopolitics
