Moscow had just finished talking about “peace,” when the U.S. envoy rushed to Kyiv; Russia and Ukraine spent the whole night bombing each other.

He had only just been smiling and talking easily in front of Putin, but then had to turn around and face the ruins of Kyiv. This is probably the most realistic picture of the trip by U.S. envoy Witkoff and Kushner.#BTC触及80000美元

The two had just finished a three-hour closed-door meeting with Putin in Moscow, and the Kremlin described it as “frank and constructive,” full of optimistic language. But as soon as the words were spoken, the Russia-Ukraine battlefield responded in the cruelest way: overnight, both sides launched missiles and drones at each other, in a scale rarely seen recently.

Russian forces poured 68 missiles and more than 350 drones into Kyiv and several other regions, targeting military-industrial and energy facilities, causing at least 22 deaths and nearly 90 injuries. Ukraine’s retaliation was equally fierce, launching a large-scale drone strike on Russian territory, and the Krasnodar Krai was engulfed in raging flames.

This dramatic scene stripped the Russia-Ukraine conflict bare: no matter how warmly the talks go at the negotiating table, there will be no fewer bombs on the front line.#比特币以太坊触及数月高点

The U.S. side flew to Kyiv with the so-called “final plan.” On the surface, it was to promote peace, but in reality, it looked more like it was there to endorse Putin’s battlefield advantage. For Russia, it can talk, but the fighting will not stop. The more they present a posture of dialogue, the more they want to seize bargaining chips on the battlefield. Can Ukraine withstand this “fighting while talking” combination punch?#俄乌同时宣布停火3天

This trip to Kyiv was destined to be difficult. When peace becomes merely decoration for negotiations, how much weight can the envoy’s plan really carry? The answer is probably not in the document, but in the sirens of the next round of airstrikes.
