Trump And NATO’s Ukrainian Proxy Are Playing With Nuclear Fire

On June 1, 2025, hours before Russian and Ukrainian negotiators were scheduled to meet in Istanbul, Ukraine launched an unprecedented attack on Russia’s strategic nuclear bombers. At the same time, the destruction of bridges in Western Russia caused a Moscow-bound passenger train to derail, killing seven persons and injuring sixty-six others.

Dimitri Lascaris spoke with John Helmer about the Trump administration’s potential involvement in Ukraine’s dangerous new escalation. Helmer is the longest continuously serving foreign correspondent in Russia, and the only Western journalist to direct his own bureau, independent of national or commercial ties.
