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.
It was being prepared for 1.5 years, from what I’ve heard, so there was a lot to moving parts that could have been screwed up if the information was leaked. At the final hour - maybe not much could have been done to prevent it, but it would have been significantly harder to extract Ukrainian operatives who were involved within Russia.
