"Tomahawk", Russian-US President Meeting, "Haiyan"
The "fighting" tools of the United States, Russia and Ukraine change again and again
Since Ukraine sought the Tomahawk missile from the United States at the end of September, the "fighting" between Russia, the United States and Ukraine over related issues has been the focus of attention of all parties.

Some analysts pointed out that the news of the successful test of the nuclear-powered cruise missile "Haiyan" by Russia is a pressure on the United States and NATO.

US President Trump was obviously dissatisfied with Russia's move. On the 27th, Trump, who was visiting Asia, said bluntly that it was "inappropriate" for Russia to test the "Haiyan" at this time.

Some analysts believe that Russia aims to use the successful test launch of Haiyan to urge the United States to return to the negotiating track.
