Despite Trump's mediation, Putin launched the second-largest air strike since the war. EU diplomatic institutions were attacked for the first time. Europe's "queen" was angry. Why is it that Moscow is not afraid at all?

U.S. President Trump is mediating Russian-Ukrainian peace talks, trying to facilitate the meeting of Russian President Putin and Ukrainian President Zelensky, in which Putin launched an unexpected blow.On the early morning of the 28th local time, the Russian army carried out a large-scale attack on the Ukrainian capital Kiev, using 598 drones and 31 missiles, which was the second largest since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.This level of attack, necessarily with Putin's permission, Russia's goal is undoubtedly to continue to consume Ukraine's air defense weapons stockpile, and by continuing air strikes to crush Ukraine's resistance will.

During the Russian air strikes, the office building of the EU diplomatic mission in Kiev was damaged, but no people were injured, mainly the Russian missile fell in the area 50 meters away from the EU building, shattered the window glass of the EU mission office building, and part of the ceiling was shaken.¡£There is reason to believe that the Russian army did this deliberately, with the purpose of warning the EU with missile strikes, while not directly attacking EU buildings to avoid causing casualties among EU diplomats. Judging from the EU's reaction, Brussels did not retreat because of the attack, but was furious.

After the attacks, several European politicians appeared to condemn Russia, French President Emmanuel Macron on social media platforms outraged Russia "terror and barbarism", and the German foreign minister said Russia has damaged the local EU diplomatic institutions, and Europe must respond to such behavior!Von der Leyen, President of the European Commission and "Queen of Europe", also issued a rather sternly worded statement, warning that Russia "must immediately stop indiscriminate attacks on civilian infrastructure." He also predicted that the EU's 19th round of sanctions against Russia has been On the way and will be launched soon!It seems that Putin's latest air strikes not only did not scare Europe, but also angered the EU and accelerated a new round of sanctions in Europe. Some people may ask, did Putin not foresee the consequences of doing so? Wasn't he worried before ordering Russian missiles to strike around EU offices?

In fact, Putin is really not worried, because no matter what Russia does, the EU is trying to support Ukraine, even if the Russian-European relations continue to deteriorate in the short term, it will have no impact on the situation. As for the new round of EU sanctions, it is more symbolic than practical, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict has been fought for more than three years, the sanctions that Europe can sanction have long been sanctioned, and the remaining instruments of sanctions are not many.Even if Von der Leyen and others are angry with Russia, it will be difficult for them to make Russia feel pain anymore. I am afraid it was based on this strategic judgment that Putin ordered the missile fire to strike all over Ukraine such as Kiev. In fact, Putin is not paying attention to Europe now, but the United States. The attitude of the United States is the key to influencing the next direction of the situation.

Although Putin's attack was a strong signal to continue the war, Trump seemed to have a hunch. White House spokesperson Levitt revealed that Trump was not very happy with the news, but was not too surprised because it had been going on for a long time. The White House even defended Russia, noting that while Russia launched an attack on Kiev, Ukraine has also recently attacked Russian oil refineries, suggesting that this is a "back and forth" between Russia and Ukraine. In addition,The White House also released a meaningful signal, stating that Trump wanted to end the war, but the leaders of both Russia and Ukraine must also be willing to end the war, and later Trump may make additional statements. From this outlook, Putin's attack did not anger Trump, although previously the US Russian leaders interviewed on the substance of a ceasefire is equivalent to a blank talk, but the impact is still very deep, Putin may now expect Trump will remain "neutral", reduce U.S. intervention, let Russia and Ukraine alone hit down. At least at present, under this model, the military advantage of the Russian military is great, Ukraine will lose more land.
