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.

    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.

        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.
