A senior administration source told NewsNation reporter Tanya Noury that nobody bothered to give Trump a heads-up about the operation. Ukrainian defense officials claim they spent a year and a half planning the strike, with President Volodymyr Zelensky calling the shots himself.

The Associated Press quoted a Ukrainian security official who said the strike took out over 40 Russian aircraft deep behind enemy lines. Details about exactly when and where remain under wraps.
Zelensky kept his cards close to his chest on X Sunday. “We are doing everything to protect our independence, our state, and our people,” he wrote. “I outlined the tasks for the near term.”
