Trump’s reaction to SSU’s Operation Pavutyna: War must end – White House
The United States has, for the first time, commented on the destruction of Russian strategic aviation assets carried out by Ukraine’s Security Service (SSU) on June 1 as part of Operation Pavutyna ("Spiderweb").
This was stated by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, as cited by Sky News and reported by Censor.NET.
"President Trump’s reaction is that this war needs to come to an end. This war has been brutal from both sides and too many people have died," she said in response to a journalist’s question about Trump’s reaction.
"President [Trump] wants this war to end at the negotiating table, and he has made that clear to both leaders — publicly and privately," Leavitt added.
