President Trump was not informed of a recent Ukrainian attack on Russia, The Hill鈥檚 sister network NewsNation confirmed Sunday.

According to NewsNation鈥檚 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.

    Why would he be informed about another country鈥檚 secret military operation that is being worked on?

      Allies share information.

      You however do not share information with a Putin stooge.

          Some people do consider him an ally, just not anyone in the west should want to be an ally of.

          He is also more likely to be an unwitting accomplice or a stooge than an ally.

        I don鈥檛 think anyone shares information on ongoing secret ops like these. Furthermore in earlier reports from US staff there was sentiment that UA forces share as little as possible because they see war differently to their US counterparts (for both objective and subjective reasons).

        Op like this probably wasn鈥檛 shared even with top generals and full details knew even less people. And current Trump administration isn鈥檛 best known for their opsec. 馃檭

          This was an Op deep within enemy lines. I figure very few people knew about it.
