The Russian-Ukrainian conflict appears to have burned again, and on the eve of the negotiations, Russia's game with NATO and the United States is still at a high level.On August 28, the Russian military increased its airstrikes on strategic targets in Ukraine, launching 600 attack drones and 31 different types of cruise missiles from night to morning.

Two very sensitive targets were attacked by air, indicating that this was a clear warning issued by the Russian army.
The first target is the Turkish Bayraktar drone manufacturing plant in Kiev. The production facility suffered serious damage. This is the drone that Turkey assisted Ukraine. Of course, this is some of the superficial situations. Deeper, the Bayraktar drone manufacturing plant is the business of Erdogan's son-in-law, and he is one of the directors. Therefore, the Russian missile air strike on the Turkish drone factory is actually a blow to Erdogan. As a member of NATO, Turkey maintains certain contacts with Russia. One side was warned by the United States and the other side was beaten by Russia.

The second key target was the British cultural association building in Kiev, with the staff of the EU delegation there, without a doubt, this airstrike was a Russian warning to Britain and Europe, because in the pre-fire negotiations in Ukraine, Europe proposed to station a joint force in Ukraine, the position of Britain was most pronounced.

Thus, the Turkish Bayraktar drone manufacturing plant and the British Cultural Association building in Kiev were attacked by missiles by air and, of course, also showed the position of the Russian military that a ceasefire is acceptable, but the security issues of Russia need to be taken into account. Since NATO expansion to the east, and Ukraine wants to join NATO for the purpose, the Russian Southwest strategic buffer has almost no space, which has led the Russian side to propose to cut down the Donbas region as a code for a ceasefire.

After the talks between Trump and Putin, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict is still ongoing, and even the scale of drone attacks and cruise missile strikes remains at a high level, which indicates that the road to ceasefire negotiations is very distant and at least recently difficult to.
