What Rain? What Mud? Ukraine SMASHED Russia’s Advance on Kyiv
Thank You for Standing With Ukraine

Donald Trump claims Russia could have captured Kyiv in just four hours if one Russian general hadn't made a disastrous turn into rain-soaked farmland. But Russian battlefield communications from the first day of the invasion tell a very different story—and the historical weather records directly challenge Trump's explanation.
In this special fact-check, Greg Terry examines Russian military communications describing devastating losses, Ukrainian ambushes, and defenders who were ready for the invasion. Then we investigate the actual weather around Kyiv before February 24, 2022. The analysis presented in this video shows ZERO recorded precipitation on February 23 and just 5.3 millimeters across the preceding ten days. That's nowhere near the historic rainfall Trump describes.
We break down Trump's claims about Russian tank speeds, the supposedly disastrous turn off the highway, and the assertion that unusually heavy rain prevented Russia from taking Kyiv. Using daily precipitation records, historical rainfall comparisons, and temperature data, we examine whether the weather supports his story.
And the evidence goes far beyond rainfall. Ukraine's resistance, the failed Russian air assault at Hostomel, battlefield ambushes, artillery, and Russian command and logistical failures all mattered. This wasn't simply a story about mud or one general's mistake. It was a Russian invasion that encountered determined Ukrainian defenders—and an explanation from Trump that fails to account for what actually happened.
