‘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~

‘IDIOTS! They are showing their true colours’ – Putin slams Ukrainians attacking WWII Memorials

Russian President Vladimir Putin slammed Ukrainian nationalists as "idiots" for destroying Soviet-era World War II monuments, linking the acts to neo-Nazi ideology. Citing Ukraine's de-communization efforts—such as removing statues and renaming cities—Putin accused Kyiv of erasing the Red Army's legacy and glorifying Nazi collaborators. He reaffirmed “de-Nazification” as a central goal of Russia’s war. Meanwhile, Moscow claimed full control over the Kursk border region, praising volunteers for thwarting last year's Ukrainian attempt to seize the nuclear power plant. #Putin #UkraineWar #WWIIMonuments #DeCommunization #NeoNazism #KurskRegion #RussianLegacy #UkraineConflict #RedArmy #PushkinStatue #CulturalErasure #PutinSpeech #RussiaUkraineWar #DeNazification #SovietLegacy #HistoricalRevisionism #UNESCOConcerns #KurskPowerPlant #UkraineAttack #KremlinNarrative #WarOfNarratives #EasternEurope #RussiaUkraineTensions #KievPolicy #UkraineNews #RussiaClaimsVictory Also Read Donald Trump Says Russia-Ukraine Ceasefire Talks To Begin 'Immediately' Following Call With Putin :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trump-says-russia-ukraine-ceasefire-talks-to-begin-immediately-following-call-with-putin-4158165.html?ref=DMDesc Putin Declares 'Easter Truce' In Russia-Ukraine War Amid US Proposal, Ceasefire To Stay Till Sunday Midnight :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/putin-declares-easter-truce-in-russia-ukraine-war-amid-us-proposal-to-stay-untill-sunday-midnight-4128473.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Blames Putin & Zelenskyy as He Seeks to End Ukraine War :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-blames-putin-zelenskyy-as-he-seeks-to-end-ukraine-war-4109951.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.103~HT.408~
