Russia's 56 missiles turned the sky of Kyiv red, and Zelenskyy finally woke up from the bombing and agreed to cede territory, but also proposed conditions to the US.
After Deputy Director Yaroslav Moskalik of the Operational Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces was killed in a car bomb attack, Russia launched its largest-scale missile strike on Kyiv this year. It is reported that Russia fired 56 missiles and over 200 drones at once. This time, the Russian military used 17 ballistic missiles and 39 cruise missiles in the bombing, which can be described as a heavy blow. Under the background of the Russian military's "wiping" bombing, the night sky of Kyiv was turned red.
Ukraine has no air defense missiles left, and can only passively take the hit against the Russian missile attack without being able to intercept it accordingly. The KH-101 cruise missile, Iskander-M ballistic missile, KH59 missile, KH-69 missile, all hit their targets, while Zelenskyy could only pray to heaven for less losses from the Russian bombing. In the face of Russia's overwhelming power, Zelenskyy was also awakened by the bombing and no longer insisted on his bottom line of refusing to cede territory.
Zelenskyy has softened his stance, emphasizing that Ukraine agrees to the peace agreement of "ceding" some areas to Russia, but also put forward his own demands. Zelenskyy requires the United States to provide security guarantees to Ukraine and hand over the initiative of negotiations to Ukraine. Clearly, Zelenskyy is very dissatisfied with the United States leading the negotiation between Ukraine and Russia. Zelenskyy's agreement to cede part of the land is indeed a major concession, indicating that he realizes now is not the time to be stubborn anymore, and continuing to be stubborn will only result in losing more land.
