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.

    Maybe it has something to do with Ukraine striking the Trump supporting data center bot farm .

    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.

      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’.

    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!

      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.
