"Trump lit the match": president set stage for "brutal" attack on Kyiv by Russia. Read "THE CHAIN OF EVENTS"

Lev Parnas, “Lev Remembers”, 7/4/25

As [some people] gather today to celebrate America’s independence — firing up the grills, watching the fireworks, and reflecting on our freedoms — something horrifying is happening across the world.

Yesterday morning, just hours after Donald Trump’s phone call with Vladimir Putin, Russia unleashed one of the most brutal, coordinated assaults on Ukraine since the full-scale invasion began. And I want you to understand exactly what this was:

• At least 40 missiles and drones launched by Russia across multiple Ukrainian cities

• Kyiv struck with full force — more than 30 people killed in the capital alone, including young children and medical staff

• Ohmatdyt Children’s Hospital — the largest pediatric facility in Ukraine — reduced to rubble, with terrified families digging through debris by hand

• A maternity hospital struck near Kyiv — newborns and mothers evacuated in bloodied linens

• Civilian high-rises, infrastructure, and a major oncology wing hit by Russian cruise missiles

• Over 150 injured, many critically. This was not collateral damage — this was targeted terror.

This was the largest aerial assault on Kyiv since the war began — and it didn’t happen in a vacuum. It was greenlit. It was enabled. It was part of a chain reaction — triggered from the Oval Office.

This Was a Plan — And It Just Played Out in Front of Your Eyes

Let me lay it out clearly. These are not isolated incidents. This is a coordinated strategy, one I’ve been warning about for weeks.

THE CHAIN OF EVENTS:

1. Trump lifted key sanctions on Russian military-financing banks just days ago — freeing up the cash Putin needed to escalate his war.

2. Next, Trump ordered the rollback of U.S. missile systems on the Polish border meant for Ukraine. That decision, according to my sources, came after direct pressure from the Kremlin.

3. Then, Trump held a private call with Vladimir Putin.

4. Within 24 hours, Putin launched the deadliest wave of attacks on Ukraine in over a year.

5. And now — my sources tell me Trump is preparing to call Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to pressure him to accept a “deal,” which really means a surrender.

You’re watching this unfold in real time. Trump lit the match, Putin launched the missiles, and now the plan is to close the deal. Hand Ukraine over in pieces — a slow suffocation of a sovereign nation.

This Isn’t Diplomacy — This Is Extortion

And here’s the game Trump always plays: one day he praises Putin as a “strong leader,” and the next day, when the images of bombed-out children’s hospitals start circulating, he suddenly expresses “disappointment.” But don’t be fooled — it’s all deflection. Whenever things go wrong, Trump never takes responsibility. He blames Joe Biden. He blames NATO. He blames the press. But what he never does is hold Putin accountable — because this was always the plan.

Let me be clear: this isn’t about negotiation. This is a shakedown. This is what happens when criminal minds run foreign policy.

Trump isn’t brokering peace. He’s brokering capitulation.

First you cripple a country’s defenses, then terrorize its people, and then you come in as the “hero” offering a deal. That’s not statesmanship. That’s mob tactics.

And don’t forget — Trump and Putin have been playing this game for years.

They’ve used backchannel actors like Steve Witkoff, Kirill Dmitriev, and Jared Kushner to line up the pieces.

I told you back when the Russian delegation quietly arrived in Wahington D.C. last week, the plan wasn’t just to isolate Ukraine — it was to carve it up like a real estate deal.

We’re watching that vision come to life right now.

I Know Donald Trump — And This Is Only the Beginning

I worked on the inside. I saw how he thinks. How he operates. I know the players behind the curtain.

And I still have sources on the inside — from Washington to Kyiv to the Kremlin. What they’re telling me now should alarm every American.

This is not just an attack on Ukraine — this is a test of American resolve.

While Trump cozies up to Putin and prepares to call Zelensky, he’s showing the world that American leadership can be bought, silenced, and used as a weapon against our allies.

If we let this go unchallenged, we won’t just lose Ukraine — we’ll lose the moral leadership of the free world.

This Is the Moment — We Either Speak Out, or We Stay Complicit

We can’t look away. We can’t pretend this is just politics.

This is blood and war. This is democracy under fire. And it’s happening with the quiet approval of the man in the Oval Office.

Also, from THE KYIV INDEPENDENT, 7/4/25: 'Nothing but terror and murder' — Russia pounds Kyiv with ballistic missiles in massive overnight attack. Fires broke out across the city as Russia attacked the capital overnight on July 4, striking multiple civilian targets and injuring at least 19 people.
