'This is betrayal': Ex-Trump operative accuses president of 'sabotage'
Jul 3, 2025 - World
Donald Trump is actively committing "obstruction" against Ukraine, according to the president's former "trusted operative."Lev Parnas, who worked closely with the president and his associates in the run-up to his first impeachment, flagged the breaking news in a Substack piece Thursday."Overnight, Ukraine was hit with one of the fiercest barrages in recent weeks. Russian missiles rained down on Odesa, crippling grain export terminals. Mykolaiv was struck again, shaking entire apartment blocks. And in the Lipsk region, strategic radar sites and energy infrastructure were targeted in a coordinated assault," Parnas said. "But this time, something was different. This time, Ukrainian officials were expecting help—help that never arrived."Now, according to Parnas, "we know why.""As I told you earlier, Donald Trump didn’t just 'pause' military aid to Ukraine—he sabotaged it. The missiles were already in Poland. Already staged. Already approved. And my sources confirm: Trump ordered them pulled back," he wrote. "Not delayed. Pulled. Back. This is active obstruction. This is betrayal. And yes—it’s emboldening Vladimir Putin and reshaping the battlefield right now as you’re reading this."The "fallout" in Congress has begun, according to Parnas."Yesterday, Republican Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick—yes, the same Fitzpatrick I told you to watch—found out about the missile pullback. And he didn’t stay quiet," Parnas wrote. "He sent a scathing letter to the President, demanding answers and accountability. And when it came time to vote on Trump’s so-called 'big, beautiful' bill—he voted NO. One of the few Republicans to stand up."But, Parnas added, "Fitzpatrick’s not alone.""Don Bacon. Thomas Massie. Tom Tillis. One by one, Republicans are breaking ranks. The cracks are no longer just forming—they’re spreading," he said. Read the full post right here.
