Relations between America and Ukraine have once again become strained. A report by the Financial Times (FT) has claimed that during a meeting held at the White House, US President Donald Trump pressured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to accept Russia’s terms.

It has been said in the report that this conversation became so heated that the atmosphere escalated from debate to shouting. Trump rejected Zelensky’s military maps during the meeting and said that Ukraine should hand over the Donbass region to Russia.

‘If Putin wants, he will destroy you’, Trump warns

Trump told Zelensky that Vladimir Putin is very powerful and if he wants, he will destroy you. Describing the Ukraine war as a special operation, he said that it is not a real war. It has also been reported that Trump threw away maps of the Ukrainian army and said, “I am fed up with these red lines.”

Russia’s new ceasefire proposal

Actually Putin has given Trump a new ceasefire proposal for Ukraine. This proposal states that Ukraine will have to give the Donbass region to Russia, while parts of Kherson and Zaporizhia will remain with Ukraine. Ukraine completely rejected this and clearly said that the sovereignty and borders of the country cannot be changed at any cost.

Zelensky’s displeasure and Trump’s pressure

In the meeting, when Ukrainian representatives tried to show the war situation and their counter-strategy, Trump rejected all the arguments. Zelensky firmly said that Ukraine will fight for its independence till the last breath. In response, Trump talked about limiting military aid and decided to stop the supply of Tomahawk missiles.

Internal disagreement in the White House

According to a Reuters report, this meeting also highlights the growing disagreements within the Trump administration. Vice President JD Vance also accused Zelensky of being ungrateful and said Ukraine should show more gratitude for American cooperation. European officials told the FT that Trump repeated Putin’s language throughout the meeting and repeatedly asked the Ukrainian side to remain calm.

Europe’s concerns and changing equations

The Financial Times also wrote that there is growing concern among European leaders that Trump’s stance could change America’s Ukraine policy. If America leans in favor of Russia, it will not only affect the morale of Ukraine, but may also weaken the strategic unity of the European Union.

Zelensky’s answer- ‘Democracy will remain united’

Zelensky issued a press statement on Sunday (19 October 2025) saying that peace is possible only when all democratic countries stand together. He appealed to America and G7 countries to take decisive steps. On this, Trump said in an interview with Fox News that Putin has achieved something, he has won some areas. I am confident that now we will restore peace.”

Official video of b-2 bombers: At midnight of June 21, the US Air Force carried out a secret and extremely dangerous operation, named Operation Midnight Hammer. Under this operation, seven B-2 Spirit Stealth Bombers aircraft flew from the Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri, USA and bombed Iran’s three nuclear bases after a 37-hour long flight. In this attack, America used its most powerful bunker-piercing bomb GBU-57 MOP. Now the US Air Force has also released a video of this entire mission, in which the aircraft can be seen taking off at 12:01 pm and landing after the mission.

The most dangerous mission of 37 hours
This operation started on 21 June and lasted till the next day. The total flight period was 37 hours. This was the second longest flight ever after the 2001 Operation Enduring Freedom of America’s B-2 aircraft. Then B-2 took 44 hours of flight. This time all the B -2 aircraft involved in the mission made a nonstop flight, the bomb dropping on the target and the safe return – everything in the same mission.

GBU-57 MOP: 30 thousand pound bunker bomb
In this operation, B-2 bombers were equipped with GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP). It is a bomb weighing 30,000 pounds that can explode by penetrating 200 feet under the ground. Its special fuse system delays delay so that the maximum damage can be done inside. This bomb can be dropped only by B-2 aircraft. This time the US targeted three Iran’s nuclear bases – Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan. All these places are considered underground nuclear facilities.

Air fuel stuffing and secret coordination
Each B-2 aircraft had two pilots during the mission. The aircraft continued to get fuel at mid-air refueling points after Missouri flying from the airbase. He then coordinated with the support package under the US Central Command (Central Command). This coordination took place in a narrow aerial border where accurate timeliness with minimal radio connectivity was extremely important. All this was done quietly and very fast.

Attack from sea and sky together
When the B-2 aircraft were to enter the Iranian border, a US Navy submarine fired more than 25 Tomahawk cruise missiles from the Center Command area. Their aim was to eliminate the major military and infrastructure targets on the surface of Iran. Along with this, decoy (confusion) aircraft were also deployed so that Iran’s air defense system would be confused. At the same time, the fourth and fifth generation American fighter jets kept flying in front of the main strike package and the enemy’s fighter jets and missiles kept cleaning the danger in advance.

When did the attack and how much destruction
Eastern America is at 6:40 pm as per time (2:10 pm in Iran), the first B-2 bombs falls two GBU-57 bombs on the Fordo site. Soon after that other bombers also attacked their goals. Overall, 14 massive Ordnance Penetrator bombs were dropped. The attack was completed between 6:40 PM to 7:05 PM Eastern Time. All three targets – Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan were suffering serious damage.
