The Drone Strike That Sabotaged Ukraine-Russia Peace Talks
They told you Putin sabotaged the peace talks. They lied.
On June 2, 2025, headlines across the Western world screamed:
👉 “Putin launches missile strikes hours before peace talks begin.”
But those headlines told the story backwards.
Just one day earlier, Ukraine launched Operation Spider’s Web — a massive, deep-strike drone offensive that crippled Russia’s strategic bomber fleet. The targets weren’t on the front lines — they were military airfields hundreds of kilometers inside Russia. And the timing? Deliberately planned for the eve of the Istanbul peace summit.
Western media reported the attack, yes — but only as background noise. No connection was made to the collapse of negotiations. Instead, Putin’s retaliation was framed as the reason diplomacy failed.
In this deep investigative breakdown, we reveal:
🔍 What really happened before the Istanbul 2025 talks
🕸️ How Ukraine’s drone operation was timed to destroy diplomacy
🧠How media framing reversed cause and effect
💰 Who benefited from the failure — and who made sure it happened
This isn’t speculation. It’s narrative dissection.
If you're ready to confront the lie that killed peace — start here.
