"Putin Humiliates Trump With Kyiv Strike on Eve of Peace Talks

Adam Downer, December 27, 2025

Russia doesn’t seem to agree with U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff’s assessment that the country is “fully committed” to achieving peace with Ukraine.

Russian forces bombed Kyiv on Saturday morning, killing one person and injuring dozens more, less than one week after Witkoff boasted of Russia’s so-called “commitment” on social media.

“Russia remains fully committed to achieving peace in Ukraine. Russia highly values the efforts and support of the United States to resolve the Ukrainian conflict and re-establish global security,” Witkoff wrote on Dec. 21.

On Dec. 27, the Russian Defense Ministry bragged that it carried out a “massive strike” on Ukraine, saying it used “long-range precision-guided weapons from land, air, and sea, including Kinzhal hypersonic aeroballistic missiles” to attack “Ukrainian military-industrial complex enterprises.”

The 10-hour bombardment comes one day before Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, 47, is set to meet with Donald Trump,79, in Florida to discuss his peace proposal to end the Russia-Ukraine war.

Zelensky said the attack typified Russia’s attitude toward peace.

“Where is the Russian response to the proposals to end the war, which were made by the United States and the world?” he said on Telegram, adding, “Russian representatives hold long talks. In reality, the ‘Kinzhal’ and ‘Shaheds’ speak for them.” “Kinzhal” and “Shahed” are the missiles and drones used in the attack.

The attack ramps up the pressure on Sunday’s meeting. President Trump has seemingly grown tired of the ongoing war, but has blamed the drawn-out nature of the conflict on Ukraine and its allies in Europe, rather than Russia...

Trump didn’t seem eager to sign off on Zelensky’s proposal in a conversation with Politico on Friday, saying of Zelensky, “He doesn’t have anything until I approve it, so we’ll see what he’s got.”

He added, “I think it’s going to go good with him. I think it’s going to go good with Putin.”"
