Axios found out whether Trump knew about Ukraine's operation 'Web'.


Ukraine struck Russian airbases without notifying the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump. The 'Web' operation was carried out by the Security Service of Ukraine after over a year of planning. The scouts launched strike drones from hidden trucks near Russian airbases.
Approximately 40 Russian military aircraft were destroyed, including strategic bombers involved in air attacks on Ukrainian cities.
According to another American publication, CBS News, it has not yet been confirmed that the Trump administration was informed about this operation. The drone attack occurred immediately after a Russian military strike at a training ground where 12 Ukrainian soldiers were killed. Overall, the Ukrainian aerospace forces reported the destruction of 472 Russian drones, marking the largest number since the beginning of the full-scale invasion three years ago.
