Last night, the skies over Kyiv lit up with fire. Missiles. Drones. Death.

In one of the most intense aerial assaults since the war began, Russia launched 14 Iskander-M ballistic missiles and approximately 250 Shahed drones targeting Kyiv and other regions. Ukrainian air defenses managed to intercept six missiles and neutralize 245 drones—128 were shot down, and 117 were thwarted using electronic warfare.

Residential blocks were hit. Civilians trapped. Emergency crews are still pulling bodies from the rubble. Fires broke out in apartments on the third and fourth floors of a five-story residential building in the Solomianskyi district. Another fire erupted on the balconies of a nine-story building in the Obolonskyi district.

This wasn’t random. This wasn’t just another strike. This was a message.

And I want to be very clear: this massacre didn’t come out of nowhere. This is the direct result of Donald Trump’s two-and-a-half-hour phone call with Vladimir Putin just days ago.

He opened the door—and Putin stormed through it.

While Trump smiles and talks about “respect” and “getting along,” Ukraine is bleeding. My sources tell me that this escalation was part of the plan. The pleasantries in public? Smoke and mirrors. Behind closed doors, Trump gave Putin what he wanted: silence, a green light, and the promise to walk away.

And that’s exactly what we’re seeing unfold.

Trump ignores his own intelligence agencies, shuns State Department briefings, and instead takes advice from a handful of corrupt propagandists feeding him Kremlin narratives that paint Russia as a powerhouse and Ukraine as a nuisance. The truth? Russia is losing. Their economy is gutted. Their military is a shadow of what it once was. But that doesn’t matter to Trump. The optics do.

And we’ve seen this pattern before. Every time there’s a so-called “peace call” or talk of diplomacy, Russia escalates. The strikes intensify. The civilian toll rises. And the international community is left gasping for an explanation while Putin moves with precision.

This latest assault is part of something bigger. My sources are telling me that this is all a buildup—a coordinated, multi-phase operation. Russia is preparing for a major offensive. What happened last night in Kyiv is just the beginning. The next phase is coming.

And yes, it’s exactly what I’ve been warning about.

It looks like after that phone call—just as I said—Trump is walking away from Ukraine. Slowly, quietly, but unmistakably. The rhetoric softens. The silence grows. The narrative shifts. And the result? Bombs fall. Families die. And the man who once claimed to be Ukraine’s greatest ally turns his back.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the assault, reiterating calls for greater sanctions against Russia and accusing Moscow of deliberately undermining peace efforts. He stated, “Fragments of Russian missiles and drones are being cleared in Kyiv. Rescue and emergency operations are ongoing at the sites of strikes and debris impacts—wherever they are needed. There were many fires and explosions in the city overnight. Once again, residential buildings, cars, businesses have been damaged. Sadly, there are injuries.”

Meanwhile, the Kremlin described the conversation between Trump and Putin as “very productive” and “quite candid,” with both sides hinting at a willingness to compromise. However, no venue for further talks had been agreed upon, and European leaders criticized Putin for delaying peace while continuing aggression on the battlefield.

My sources are telling me this is just the beginning. Trump will now try to distance himself publicly. He’ll say it’s not his fight. That this isn’t our war. That Ukraine should “make a deal.” He’ll walk away from the bloodshed he helped ignite. But

I won’t.

I’ve been warning you for months. This isn’t diplomacy. And if we stay silent, we become complicit.

I need you now. This isn’t just a newsletter. This is a lifeline of truth in a sea of disinformation.

So I’m asking—no, I’m urging—you: spread this message. Share it. Re-stack it. Tell your friends. If you’re not yet a paid subscriber, now is the time. If you can, contribute via Venmo @lev-parnas. Your support is what keeps this movement alive.

Because while Trump makes phone calls, missiles fall. And while the media sleeps, I fight to make sure the world knows what really happened last night in Kyiv.

Stay vigilant. Stay loud.

1. I truly hope Trump rots in hell for all eternity.

Putin along with him.

A special place in hell is reserved for both of their worthless asses.
