President Donald J. Trump was not informed in advance about a massive Ukrainian drone strike that reportedly destroyed over 40 Russian military aircraft, according to senior administration sources speaking with NewsNation on Sunday.
This major escalation in the Ukraine-Russia conflict took place deep within Russian territory and was supervised directly by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, according to a report by the Associated Press. The long-planned operation reportedly took 18 months to prepare.
Trump Focused on Ending War That Began Under Biden
The war between Ukraine and Russia, which erupted during Joe Biden’s presidency, has now entered its fourth year—with no end in sight. In contrast, President Trump has made it clear: he wants the fighting to stop.
“My administration is working to bring peace to a conflict that never should have happened in the first place,” Trump has said at recent rallies.
Unlike the Biden-era foreign policy that many critics say has only fueled more chaos overseas, Trump is calling for diplomacy, de-escalation, and smart leadership.
Trump Sounds Alarm on Putin: “Something’s Changed”
Although President Trump once had a constructive working relationship with Vladimir Putin during his first term, he now warns that the Russian leader has changed.
“I’ve always had a strong rapport with Vladimir Putin, but it’s like he’s lost his mind lately—something’s clearly changed,” President Trump posted on Truth Social last week.
This candid assessment reflects growing concerns about the war’s unpredictability and the need for strong, stable leadership in Washington.
Zelensky Doubles Down on Military Strategy
In a statement posted to X (formerly Twitter), President Zelensky said he is “doing everything to protect our independence, our state, and our people,” and that he has issued new military objectives for the immediate future.
But with attacks now penetrating deep into Russian territory, many Americans are asking: Is this reckless brinkmanship dragging the U.S. into a wider war?
America First Means Peace Through Strength
As tensions continue to rise overseas, President Trump remains focused on putting America First. That means protecting American interests, demanding accountability, and pursuing peace—not endless entanglements.
For seniors, veterans, and families across the country, stability abroad starts with leadership at home.
Stay informed and support common-sense foreign policy—not the chaos of endless wars.
