Ray McGovern : Is War in Europe Expanding?

What was said

"It was Trump that intervened with the Ukrainians and said, look, don't even think, don't even think of attacking the parade in Red Square on the 9th of May. It was Trump that did that. And actually, the Russians have said that explicitly."

Ray McGovern disclosed that President Trump directly ordered Zelensky not to strike Moscow's May 9th Victory Day parade, and that Ukraine complied. McGovern cited explicit Russian confirmation of Trump's intervention, demonstrating Trump retains significant leverage over Ukrainian military operations despite European pressure to escalate. The revelation underscores a Trump-Putin understanding that bypasses NATO allies.
