Right before the US delegation was about to visit Russia and Ukraine, Russia launched an airstrike on Kyiv's airport. This attack is interpreted as Russia intensifying its military pressure on Ukraine, given that the purpose of the US delegation's visit was to propose a peace agreement. Russia argues that the US should consider the root causes of the Ukraine war and present practical solutions, and it does not seem to expect significant progress from this visit. Meanwhile, the US is showing its will to achieve a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine through this visit.
