Russia-Ukraine fighting and negotiating: Ukrainian forces ambush Russian deputy commander, Russian strikes American factory
Before Ukrainian President Zelenskyy's visit to the United States, the Ukrainian Security Service disclosed that the Ukrainian army carried out a precise attack on a pickup truck on the Kursk highway, directly causing injuries to the people inside, one of whom was a Russian general.
Recently, the Ukrainian Security Service revealed an important military achievement: on the eve of Zelenskyy's visit to the United States, the Ukrainian army ambushed the convoy of the Deputy Commander of the Russian Northern Group Army, Abachev, causing him serious injuries.
Subsequently, the Russian side also confirmed the Ukrainian statement, confirming that Abachev was attacked in the Kursk border area.
However, although the Ukrainian military's attack was tactically successful, it also triggered a new round of retaliation from the Russian forces.
According to reports, on August 21 local time, the Russian forces launched missiles at the western Ukrainian city of Mukachevo, and a factory of an American company located there was struck, causing a large fire, some personnel injured inside the factory, and significant losses.
This round of large-scale air raids by the Russians not only delivered a heavy blow to the ceasefire negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, but inevitably caused serious dissatisfaction from Trump, because the bombed site was an American factory, and the Russians launched the air raid after the US-Russia summit, which damaged Trump's dignity.
But then again, even if the Putin-Zelenskyy meeting achieved some progress, and Putin released some signals of concession, the situation on the battlefield between Russia and Ukraine, as well as the division of positions within Europe and the United States, all make the dawn of peace difficult to appear. Therefore, whether Putin and Zelenskyy can meet as scheduled in the future is still a big question mark.
