The United States and Ukraine were caught off guard! Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov just met with U.S. Secretary of State Rubio in Malaysia, and Rubio claimed that he had listened to "new ideas" from Russia on resolving the Ukraine issue. However, within less than 24 hours, Russia suddenly launched a heavy strike against Ukraine. On July 12, Ukrainian President Zelensky stated that Russia launched 597 drones and 26 long-range missiles overnight, carrying out a large-scale air attack on Ukraine.
It was originally thought that after the high-level meeting between U.S. and Russian foreign ministers, the war between Russia and Ukraine would ease, but Russia suddenly increased its attacks on Ukraine, which came as a surprise to both the U.S. and Ukraine. Of course, the direct reason for Russia's sudden attack is its lack of trust in the United States, especially now that the United States has changed its stance and resumed aid to Ukraine. U.S. President Trump criticized Putin, saying he was "disappointed" with him and evaluated Putin as "politely spoken but without substance."
In addition, Trump also warned that the U.S. Senate is expected to pass a "very significant and powerful" sanctions bill against Russia, and whether it is implemented will be decided by himself. Obviously, Russia's fierce attack is a direct response to the United States. It is clear that Russia does not take American warnings seriously, and does not accept the resumption of military supplies to Ukraine by the United States. Currently, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov is visiting North Korea, and it is estimated that Russia and North Korea will have further cooperation.
