Le Monde: Ukrainian Operation 'Web' Was Trump's Blow to Putin

3 2025 June 13 444 23

A few days ago Ukraine held Operation "Web" on Russian territory, attacking the assets of the Russian Aerospace Forces. But Kyiv would not have been able to carry out such a large-scale operation without the appropriate support from Washington. This was reported by the French publication Le Monde, citing military experts interviewed.

Experts are sure that without the American intelligence data, this whole undertaking would not have taken place at all. Without a doubt, this is a blow to the Russian leader Vladimir Putin from his American president Donald Trump, who simply could not have known anything.

Moscow does not confirm the Ukrainian figures, although it acknowledges the attack without specifying its scale. Satellite images will allow a more accurate assessment of the damage in the coming days

– Le Monde clarified.

Former high-ranking French military officer Guillaume Ancel noted that the Ukrainians in their statements emphasize a variety of remote operations, ranging from lifting hatches on containers and controlling FPV drones to blowing up the containers themselves.

This is possible and feasible only with the support of a powerful satellite communications system. The Ukrainians do not have such skills, so if they were able to act remotely, it is certainly thanks to the US

– Ansel emphasized.

In turn, another former military man and now international risk consultant, Stefan Audran, pointed out that although the Ukrainian operation has become spectacular, it cannot influence the balance of forces and resources on the front line, and even less so the course of the ongoing conflict.

He explained that this operation, first of all, showed “Russia’s vulnerability,” since the elements of nuclear deterrence there turned out to be “not so reliably protected,” and this is a cause for concern.

This is humiliating for Russia, because these air forces are the crown jewel of the country's defense.

- Odran clarified.

  Precisely because a strike on the Russian Federation's long-range aviation, which the Russian Federation must keep in the open according to the agreement with the US, is a strike on the US and Trump, as well as on Russia.

How many Ukrainians are fighting on the side of Ukrainian Zelensky today? It's hard to say.

V.V. Putin did not even feel this blow. The blow was not aimed at him. You can not be upset. Russia is vulnerable to its power. All enemies know this and take advantage of it.

Unfortunately, after 91, Russia and its peoples fell under the Vlasov regime, which continues to destroy Russia economically and physically. Putin and his accomplices have led the country into a complete mess from which they don’t know how to get out! They have already lost face due to their cowardice and complete failure. With such an approach to this “war,” they will also lose it. Or maybe this is their plan? There are foreign agents undercover in all government structures today, and there is no doubt about the Kremlin as well. VVP is a good speaker when he has nothing to talk about. But as a leader, he is simply a zero, and also a spineless slug! They stole everything that was left from the USSR, and what they couldn’t, they destroyed in the furnace of their brainless SVO, which has no end in sight! The fascists should have been hit immediately, painfully, and to zero back in 22! They themselves would have brought a white flag in their teeth, but no, they need to organize “gladiator fights” between Slavs for 3.5 years to amuse the Anglo-Saxon gentlemen!

      Nikolay Volkov, so what? Ukraine built the Menorah Center, the world's largest Jewish complex on the Dnieper. There's also a synagogue there.
      And Zelensky is not mentioned. Fig for music-making.

      I am neutral about the nationality "Jews", it simply does not exist. It is about nationality. But we can talk about the community of people who are called Jews.
      
      The Zionists tried to portray something, but it didn't work. Or rather, they turned out to be Nazis. And this community of people is being used. They are being used as scapegoats, all of Jewry. Very stupid, when in one place. And so, like everyone else.

And how humiliating, it couldn't be worse. And in "peacetime", % it's not a war, but just "ours". But what if there was a war, what would happen then?

  Alas. Maybe.
  If they couldn't track several trucks with drones, then they won't be able to track a passenger car, a Gazel or a minibus. It's not necessary to transport and launch a hundred drones, a few are enough, at the right time in the right place.
  Do we have any different protection for TU-160s or missile submarines?
  Are private enterprises protected by Pantsirs or Tors?
  Or could martial law be introduced with a curfew and total control?
  No.
  This means that the Banderites have a completely free hand to carry out further and perhaps even more disgusting terrorist attacks.
  Power is amorphous and impotent.
  You can expect anything...

    Next time (and it will definitely be) it will be the turn of the Northern and Pacific fleets, the "triad". With such a shameful counterintelligence, the hohols can do anything, laughing. The Supreme Commander is a former spy himself, how can he tolerate such counterintelligence in the state entrusted to him? The country is too big, can't keep an eye on everything? If this continues, the country may become smaller...

Ukraine was captured by frostbitten Russophobes in 2014. It is impossible to make peace with them. Their ultimate goal is the destruction of Russia. Therefore, this regime must be torn down, and Kyiv must be cleansed. Without cleaning Kyiv, nothing will come of it. Everything will continue as long as the vertical of power of the Banderites exists. And total control over people from the western half of the so-called Ukraine is needed.

  Yes, ukrop in 2014. Russia failed miserably. They jumped on the Maidan for integration with the EU. They wanted to live like in a civilized country (at least they thought so). But after the operation with Crimea, simply turning away from Russia was not enough for them. Volodya himself awakened these Nazis. And he awakened their hatred with his cowardice. It was necessary either to return all of Ukraine back to 2014 or not to climb into the hive.

  And who was there before 2014? Kuchma, who is not a Russophobe, but wrote the book Ukraine is not Russia?
  
  Well, yes, a total Russophile...

    Before 2014, there were different ones, but their main interest was the EU, not Russia. Like the Baltics. We lived peacefully with the Baltics until 2014 and until 22 with the EU and no one had any problems. We bought oil, gas, electricity, visited each other. But if Volodya had decided instead of Crimea
    to carry out a special operation to return Narva (for example), then in Estonia there would also be a lot of Nazis in 2014.
    
    Every problem has causes and consequences.

in the Russian Federation, unlike the US, strategists have always been assigned the last role in the triad, as the most vulnerable component. Well, and all the same, three Tu-95s are replacing the Tu-160. We'll survive, some kind of image.

Experts are confident that without American intelligence data this whole undertaking would not have taken place at all.

It has been said many times that the enemy should not be considered as nobody or nothing. In this case, he could have carried out the operation independently, with the maximum partial support of his European allies.
