Why would he be informed about another country's secret military operation that is being worked on?

    Allies share information.

    You however do not share information with a Putin stooge.

    I don't think anyone shares information on ongoing secret ops like these. Furthermore in earlier reports from US staff there was sentiment that UA forces share as little as possible because they see war differently to their US counterparts (for both objective and subjective reasons).

    Op like this probably wasn't shared even with top generals and full details knew even less people. And current Trump administration isn't best known for their opsec. 🙃
