White Hats Kill Ukrainian Assassin in Alaska Days Ahead of Trump-Putin Meeting

White Hats on Sunday killed a Ukrainian assassin in Wasilla, Alaska, five days before President Trump is scheduled to meet with Vladimir Putin at a currently undisclosed venue in The Last Frontier.
At approximately 10:00 p.m., soldiers from the 10th Special Forces Group stormed a bungalow on Front Street, near Lake Lucille, and shot dead 42-year-old Stefan Orestovych, a resident of Kyiv and former employee of Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense.
He was also a trained sniper, having spent a decade with the Ukrainian army’s Special Operations Forces. US Special Forces had to kill him, a White Hat source told Real Raw News, for he had pulled a pistol on them as they charged through the doorway.
After neutralizing the threat, the soldiers found two Sig P229 pistols, a scoped and suppressor-fitted Daniel Defense DDM4 AR-style rifle, and the expertly forged passport Orestovych had used to enter the US via Anchorage. White Hats are currently tracing the firearms’ origin, and believe he must have gotten them domestically after arriving in the US on August 5.
According to our source, it was Putin who told President Trump that he had high confidence that a skilled and notorious assassin had successfully reached Alaska. The FSB, Russia’s counterintelligence agency, had somehow determined that Orestovych would be staying in Wasilla ahead of the Trump-Putin conference.
It’s unclear whether Orestovych knew the location of the meeting, as both the White House and the Kremlin have kept that information a closely guarded secret. As Orestovych is dead and can’t be questioned, who he planned to kill is also unknown. Trump? Putin? Both?
On August 7, Special Forces met with Secret Service agents in Anchorage to forge plans to find the would-be assassin. The Secret Service, our source said, fanned across Wasilla, a relatively small city with a population of only 3,000 permanent residents, and asked locals if any unusual strangers had shown up in town over the last few days. For an assassin, Orestovych wasn’t exceptionally discreet. Employees at two local eateries told the Secret Service that a middle-aged male, thin and about six feet three, with a thick Eastern European accent, had eaten at their establishments and was staying at a small cabin near Lake Lucille.
Following the clues, the Secret Service scoped out the cabin and ran the plates of the KIA Soul parked on a gravel driveway. It was a rental from Enterprise Rent-a-Car at Anchorage International Airport, and the renter had acquired it using forged credentials—an international driver’s license and a foreign Mastercard with matching names. Our source would not disclose Orestovych’s alias.
Convinced they had located the mark, Secret Service and Special Forces debated which entity would apprehend Orestovych. Apparently, they ruffled each other’s feathers, each wanting the honor of catching him. President Trump, our source said, cast the deciding vote; Special Forces would breach the cabin and subdue Orestovych, then hand him over to the Secret Service.
Meanwhile, President Trump contacted Putin to inform him he had found Orestovych, whose arrest was imminent.
Over the next two days, the soldiers and the Secret Service tracked Orestovych’s movements, as they had to be sure he had no accomplice looming in the shadows. He left the cabin only twice each day, an hour each time, to eat breakfast and dinner at either Nonna’s Osteria or Everett’s café. He would sit alone in a corner, avoiding conversation.
On Sunday, Special Forces decided the time had come to arrest Orestovych. Four soldiers would enter through the front door, while another eight would encircle the cabin in case Orestovych tried leaping out a window to escape.
The encounter began with one soldier smashing a window and tossing a CS canister into the living room where Orestovych was sitting on a chair and reading a magazine. But the grenade, alas, was a dud. Orestovych sprang to his feet as the soldiers kicked open the door and ordered him to drop to his knees and interlace his hands atop his head. Instead of complying, Orestovych reached for a pistol in his waistband and was promptly greeted by a flurry of bullets that pierced his body from head to toe.
Afterward, Special Forces and the Secret Service argued, the latter insisting that if they had taken the lead, Orestovych would still be alive to be questioned.
Update: Orestovych rented the cabin from a local and paid in cash. That individual does not want to be indentified.
Special Forces Catch Renegade Texas Legislator in New York City

US Army Special Forces on Sunday detained and surrendered to the United States Marshals Service one of the Texas legislators who had fled the state to avoid attending a mandatory redistricting session aimed at balancing congressional lines due to the state’s recent population boom.
As reported previously, Special Forces joined the hunt with President Trump’s consent after 3rd Special Forces Group commander Colonel Carl Benader told President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that his men at Fort Bragg stood ready to enter the fray. By August 8, elite soldiers were in California, Illinois, and New York, states to which the absconders had fled.
Besides putting boots on the ground, the Army put its intelligence apparatus in full swing, accessing everything from traffic cameras to credit and debit card transactions to cell phone data in hopes of apprehending at least some of the Deep State Democrats.
Yesterday, they hit pay dirt.
Representative Gina Hinojosa, representing Texas’s District 49, had used her personal credit card at Amor Loco, an upscale Mexican restaurant in central Manhattan. By the time Special Forces arrived at the eatery, she was long gone, but the innovative soldiers accessed the city’s monumental array of surveillance cameras (I hate the police state, but at least it helped Special Forces) and were able to track Hinojosa’s movements from the moment she left the restaurant to the moment she arrived at a one bedroom apartment in Hell’s Kitchen.
At 10:00 p.m., the soldiers kicked open her door as she was brushing her teeth in the bathroom, and informed her she was being detained pending the arrival of US Marshals.
An hour later, two deputy marshals from the Eastern District of New York took custody of Hinojosa and thanked Special Forces for their participation.

FBI Fires Eleven Agents Who Refused Trump’s Directive to Patrol D.C. Streets
Michael Baxter, Real Raw News, August 11, 2025
Eleven FBI agents were fired on Saturday for refusing to deploy to D.C.’s streets as part of President Trump’s mission to curb rampant violent crime in one of the nation’s most pestilent municipalities, Real Raw News has learned.
After a former DOGE employee was brutally beaten by a youth gang and carjacked last week, the president said he’d use the FBI to augment the highly ineffective Metropolitan Police Department. During Biden’s illegal presidency, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser de-funded the police, and the D.A.’s office had—and still does have—a tendency not to prosecute violent criminals, instead favoring an extremely liberal catch-and-release policy, even with repeat offenders.
Making matters worse, D.C.’s leftist judges have a proclivity for allowing murder and rape suspects to bond out inexpensively. Some even release violent perps on their own recognizance, setting them free to strike again, and crime continues to surge even with Jeanine Pirro serving as district attorney.
So, Trump, who respects law and order and rejects absolutely lawlessness, has started moves to federalize the city—to the chagrin of Bowser and corrupt FBI agents at the bureau’s D.C. offices. Thus far, Trump has deployed only a token force, 120 agents tasked with mitigating carjackings, heists, and ruthless murders in a city replete with criminality. He has said he may summon the National Guard.
But even getting the feds involved proved problematic, an FBI source speaking under promise of anonymity told Real Raw News.
On Friday evening, Steven Jenson, assistant director at the Washington field office, asked 700 agents to attend a video conference to discuss the deployment of agents on the streets of D.C. Less than half that number joined the mandatory meeting, and of those, a dozen opposed Trump’s plan, saying that corralling thugs was a job for beat cops, not skilled professionals like themselves. One belligerent supervisory agent, Leon Armstrong, who had been at the bureau for 14 years, had the audacity to say he wouldn’t abide by Trump’s plan unless Mayor Bowser approved it.
Jenson ended the virtual conference early after ordering Armstrong to report to him in person on Saturday morning.
“I don’t work Saturdays,” Armstrong reportedly countered.
When he didn’t show up at Jenson’s office the next day, Jenson fired him, presumably with Kash Patel’s blessing. A ripple effect ensued. Ten more agents told Jenson that if he fired Armstrong, he’d have to fire them too.
And Jenson did.
“There are still bunches of Deep State sympathizers among us,” our source said, “and they eventually expose themselves accidentally or on purpose. Good riddance to them. They won’t get another job unless it’s working for Democrats.”
Special Forces Find Evidence Linking Pritzker to Child Abductions
Michael Baxter, Real Raw News, August 8, 2025

White Hats are leaving no stone unturned in their search for absconding Texas lawmakers who fled the state to avoid attending a mandatory redistricting session, and while they’ve yet to catch any of the renegade Dems, they have unearthed evidence implicating Illinois Governor Pritzker in a child abduction or trafficking ring.
As reported yesterday, Special Forces have joined the hunt for Texas legislators hiding in Blue States and under the protection of Blue governors like billionaire Pritzker, who has defiantly said he will not surrender his “guests” to federal authorities or allow Texas to extradite them.
In pursuit of the absconders, Special Forces have already been spoofed by body impostors masquerading as Representatives Gene Wu and Al Green, the ringleaders who convinced their Democratic colleagues to leave Texas.
As of this writing, neither White Hats nor the FBI has breached Pritzker’s Springfield mansion, a potential sanctuary for the wayward Dems.
“We haven’t got permission to enter,” a White Hat source told Real Raw News. “I can’t speak for the feds.”
However, US Army Special Operations Command authorized Special Forces to investigate a self-storage facility near the Governor’s Mansion after soldiers tailed a sedan with tinted windows from the mansion to the location at 9:30 last night, an odd time to store or retrieve belongings. The sedan’s driver, identity unknown, had entered the gated compound at 9:35 and left 10 minutes later, barely enough time to stash or recover items or a person not wanting to be found.
“No one thought any of these Deep State Democrats would lower themselves to sleeping in a storage unit, but the bizarre time could’ve been a clue, and Special Forces is working every lead they can,” our source said.
With US Army Cyber Command’s help, Special Forces learned the identity of the renter who had leased the unit that the sedan had idled in front of for 10 minutes. The renter was a company named Peco Pallet, a manufacturer of wooden pallets owned by the Pritzker Group, a private equity group that manages Pritzker’s portfolio and holdings. In fact, Peco Pallet rented three units at the self-storage facility, which made little sense because the company has vast swaths of real estate and colossal warehouses in the United States and France.
“Why lease tiny units when you have your own vast empire? Unless you’re hiding something,” our source said.
After the sedan left, Special Forces used electronic jamming gear to scramble CCTV cameras before scaling the fence and approaching the windowless, concrete units. They snapped the first lock and lifted the door. Inside were mountains of cardboard boxes filled only with books—fiction, non-fiction, and a comprehensive law library. If they were Pritzker’s, his only crime was being a voracious reader. Undeterred, Special Forces checked the second unit and found nothing besides a single wooden pallet atop a dusty floor.
“The chances of finding a Democrat or a clue to their location were looking bleak after two nothingburgers,” our source said.
The third unit, too, held no Dems or clues to their whereabouts but contained evidence of a crime so egregious that it stunned the stalwart soldiers. Special Forces found children’s clothes encrusted with blood and toys that five-to-eight-year-olds would find appealing—stuffed animals, race cars, and Barbie dolls. A few moldy blankets and grimy bedsheets were covering the floor, as well as several empty water bottles and tins of Chef Boyardee ravioli.
“That unit was a prison. No doubt kids had been locked in there at some point,” our source said.
Special Forces, he added, called Fort Bragg for instructions.
“They were told the FBI would take charge, to secure the area until they got there. It didn’t sit well with our guys, but orders are orders.”
At around midnight, FBI special agents from the bureau’s Child Abduction Rapid Deployment Team (CARD) arrived at the unit to collect evidence. They thanked Special Forces for locating the unit and said military involvement was no longer needed.
“It looks to us like Pritzker’s linked to whatever happened there, and I hope the feds reach the same conclusion,” our source said.
