The scale of Russia's air strikes against Ukraine continues unabated. On the night of August 27 to 28, 2025, this night's air strikes once again made history. According to a report from the Ukrainian Air Force, the Russian army fired a total of 598 drones and 31 missiles of various types at Ukraine that night. Ukrainian President Zelensky claimed that this was the "second largest" offensive since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
This time, the Russian military bombed the European Union headquarters in Ukraine, as well as the British Cultural Association’s office in Kiev. Zelensky accused Russia of undermining the diplomatic efforts of the parties to promote ceasefire negotiations.
The Russian side denies that the targets of the attack were both military or military-industrial facilities. Currently, it is known that Russia hit the Starokostyantynev airport in Khmelnitsky, the Colomian airport in Ivano-Frankivsk and an underground ammunition warehouse, and more importantly, exploded the railway hub, located in Zaporizhia and Portava, as well as the railway transportation industrial enterprises in Kazachstan. There are also several military-industrial enterprises, including the "Arjom" defense plant in Kiev, the radio station in Kiev, the special weapons plant and so on.
Ukraine's performance is a bit anti-normal, and did not want to admit its heavy losses in the air strikes, this time immediately blaming Russia, a lot of pain. at the same time, Europe also appears quite nervous.
European leaders were outraged by the Russian airstrikes, and according to the BBC, European Commission President Von der Leyen criticized the Russian attack on the European Union headquarters, noting that "two missiles hit 50 meters from the European Union headquarters in 20 seconds." She accused Russia of targeting the European Union, which will soon introduce its 19th sanctions package against Russia, and is moving forward with plans to use frozen Russian assets to aid Ukraine.
Mr. Starmer accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of "undermining hopes for peace". Mr. Lamy, the British foreign minister, said Russia's ambassador had been summoned. Mr. Karas, the European Union's foreign policy chief, said Russia was "deliberately escalating the situation and making a mockery of peace efforts" and would summon its ambassador to Brussels.
Ukraine is accusing Europe's leaders of being angry and useless, and Russia is not taking Europe's attitude as a matter, and even more ridiculously, this time the United States is dismantling behind the back.
On August 28, 2025, in response to questions about Russian air strikes, White House Press Secretary Levitt said that Trump was "unhappy, but not surprised" about the development of the situation in Russia and Ukraine, but was "paying close attention" to the relevant situation. The White House even said: "These two countries have been at war for a long time. Russia launched this attack on Kiev, and similarly, Ukraine has recently dealt a blow to Russian refineries."
The United States, which has always played an important role, did not make a high profile this time, but rather lowered its profile. The United States did not join the ranks of accusing Russia. Levitt only reiterated that Trump wants "this bloodshed to stop," but "maybe neither side of this war is ready to end it." The United States does not want to be involved in the Russian-Ukrainian war at all, which is the current state of affairs.
The Russia-Ukraine War was originally started by the United States, but in fact it became a pit dug by the United States for other countries. Not only did Ukraine fall, Russia and the entire Europe fall into it. The United States has achieved its goal and naturally it is impossible to fall into it again. So with Trump's return to the White House, the United States began to withdraw. Now the United States needs Europe to pay for its military aid to Ukraine, and the United States itself only makes money but not pays.
The United States maintains a so-called "delicate neutrality." The United States and Europe will discuss issues such as how to provide security for Ukraine after the Russia-Ukraine War ends, but they will not give any security commitments or directly participate in any military actions. Now the United States just wants to be a bystander rather than a participant.
Nowadays, Ukraine and Europe have no understanding of the intentions of the United States and still have illusions. This time, Ukraine and Europe accused Russia of air strikes, but the actual purpose is to urge the United States to increase pressure on Russia, and still has the mentality of pulling the United States into the Russia-Ukraine war. Unfortunately, the United States is unmoved. Some European officials have long understood the United States 'intentions and pointed out that Trump has not taken any practical actions other than verbal statements.
No matter what kind of public opinion Ukraine and Europe want to create, there is no influence on the United States, the Russian-Ukrainian war has been fought long enough, the United States is afraid to be deeply caught in it, the pressure will not care what kind of outcome the Russian-Ukrainian war will be, how many Ukrainians or Russians die is not the question that the United States should care, but just how much money to earn is the focus.
