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

An administration official told NewsNation’s Tanya Noury that 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.

In the first few months of his second term, Trump and his administration have pushed for an end to the war between Ukraine and Russia. The war, which began during former President Biden’s term, recently passed the three-year mark.

Trump, who has previously talked positively about Russian President Vladimir Putin, has recently expressed frustration with the Russian leader.

“I’ve always had a very good relationship with Vladimir Putin of Russia, but something has happened to him. He has gone absolutely CRAZY!” Trump said last week on his Truth Social platform.

Why would anyone inform him?
He isn't any sort of a world leader.

If only he could read...
Or if he had an attention span longer than 5 seconds.

He would just have gotten word to Putin directly instead of having told Trump, who might have waited half an hour or more before informing Putin.

Tell F47 they're going to attack Gorky park, see if the Russians respond accordingly.
