Axios has amended its article — now it says that Kiev did not inform the administration of US President Donald Trump about plans for drone attacks on Russian air bases.
"Ukraine did not notify the Trump administration of the attack in advance," the Ukrainian official said. The US official also told reporters that the Trump administration had not been informed about the attack," the article says.
Earlier, Axios, citing a Ukrainian official, reported that Ukraine had informed the United States in advance about drone attacks on Russian air bases. Kiev claims to have carried out "unprecedented strikes" on enemy territory, targeting dozens of strategic bombers at several bases. The official also told the publication that the operation was carried out by the SBU and had been planned for more than a year.
Then CBS News, citing an unnamed official of the Trump administration, said that the United States had not been warned about the attack on Russian air bases.
