Breaking:Ukraine did not give Trump advance notice before attacking Russia the operation targeted and destroyed approximately 41 Russian military aircraft, including strategic nuclear-capable bombers such as the Tu-95 and Tu-22M, as well as A-50 early warning planes.

In a stunning military operation, Ukraine launched a large-scale drone assault on multiple Russian airbases, reportedly destroying approximately 41 military aircraft — including several strategic nuclear-capable bombers — without providing advance notice to U.S. President Donald Trump.

The operation, known as “Spiderweb,” marked one of the most devastating blows to Russia’s strategic air capabilities since the onset of the war. Among the destroyed assets were Tu-95 and Tu-22M bombers, both capable of carrying nuclear weapons, as well as A-50 airborne early warning and control planes crucial to Russian aerial operations.

Sources suggest Ukraine deliberately chose not to inform Trump before the attack. Analysts believe this decision stemmed from concerns about the former president’s past praise of Russian President Vladimir Putin and his previous threats to reduce intelligence sharing with Kyiv.

Ukrainian operatives reportedly spent over a year preparing for the attack, smuggling parts to build more than 100 drones inside Russian territory. The drones were launched from concealed positions near the targeted airbases, inflicting what is estimated to be over $7 billion in damage.

While the Biden administration was made aware of general escalations, Ukraine’s choice to exclude Trump underscores its intent to operate independently amid shifting U.S. political dynamics.
