Ukrainian president accuses Washington of ‘denial of reality’ in ongoing row with Trump over apparent support for Moscow
Ukraine did not receive a warning from the US about an impending Russian missile attack on Sunday evening, Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said, reviving concerns that Washington is withholding intelligence in order to bully Kyiv into capitulating to Moscow.
Yuri Ihnat, a spokesperson for the Ukrainian Air Force, said on television on Monday morning that Ukraine had not received a warning before a Russian missile barrage hit power plants in Kyiv at around 11pm. Earlier, a Ukrainian government official had told the Guardian the US had not warned the capital about the impending missile strike.
why would the US warn an enemy of an attack on them?
Maybe it has something to do with Ukraine striking the Trump supporting data center bot farm .
Trump is a traitor and a pedophile. Daily reminder.

A rapist and a shitter
Guilty of treason ten times over
Can Europe not provide intelligence!? These people cannot be trusted.
US has a more advanced early warning satellite systems than Europe. Unfortunately, Europe is still playing catch up.
Nobody should have ever trusted the USA :(
Charles De Gaulle didn’t.
We should nationalize Starlink. This is too much power for a private citizen to control.
Obviously they don’t mind being ordered around by the government, let’s make it official.
In this case it’s not starlink, it’s probably the missile warning systems owned and operated by DoD.
And yes, pretty much all of spaceX was funded by the US govt anyway.
Funny because starshield (the one that was blocked, starlink is not affected) is under government’s control.
Maybe officially, but there is zero chance the MechaHitler creator gave up his control panel.
Based on reporting, apparently Musk suggested they limit starshield to Trump, and he agreed. Its unclear who actioned it, but they have all drawn ranks and gone silent or said that it never happened, which is why Zelansky is on such a tear.
Both Musk and Trump have thrown each other under the bus as much as possible while also claimed innocence.
This article has nothing to do with Starlink
Now we know what the CIA visit to Moscow was about https://www.cnn.com/2026/08/25/politics/cia-director-visits-moscow
Washington … ‘denial of reality’
That is very kindly phrased, Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
The aide said that guys like me were ‘in what we call the reality-based community,’ which he defined as people who ‘believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.’ […] ‘That’s not the way the world really works anymore,’ he continued. ‘We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors…and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do’.
That’s an interesting mix of acute observation and megalomania. Who wrote it and when?

It’s been widely speculated that Karl Rove said it but nobody knows for sure. Sounds like something that pos would say.
“Denial of reality”?
Why, that’s his specialty
I think I figured it out as, as the US keeps denying it.
If you stop testing for covid, covid goes away!
If you stop monitoring for ballistic missile launches, theres nothing to share!
“How are you doing?” - lied Donald Trump
Damn lil bro thought he could bomb Russian refenery without any reaction or anything hapenning at all ??? He play a risky game. At that speed he won’t even be in office for the end of the war
Ukraine has as of today struck Russian oil refineries and major fuel facilities 158 times since the start of the full scale invasion. The strikes have targeted 24 of Russia’s 33 major oil refining facilities. Ukraine has hit the Ryazan and Saratov facilities at least 15 times each.
Lil bro has been schooling big bro in the war since the greedy orcs stupidly crossed the border 5 years ago. Every time Ukraine strikes an important Russian military target, Russia responds with limp dick civilian attacks, a childish tantrum that does not affect Ukraine’s ability to wage war. Zelensky is in the driver’s seat, Putin’s reaction is pathetic.
So why he s crying ? He s in the driver seat ? Then the mistake is on him.
Trump said there was a ceasefire, Ukraine said that’s great if Russia stops, Russia kept bombarding and the U.S. pulled any alerts, so he called out Trump for being a lying weasel.
A coward would say nothing, Zelensky is calling out the shitty tactics trump and the Americans are using to try and force him to the table and accept the shitty terms they are offering to end the war. This is what a real leader does, I would have thought the Russians would have figured out by now that Ukrainians don’t go down without a fight. Trump and Putin are two men who have never been in a real fight in their lives.
Compare this with Vladimir Putin, cosplaying in his military outfit from his bunker reviewing the maps of fake victories of his Russian soldiers. Even the Russian military mappers are starting to call out this delusional BS.
