Russia Launches Massive Bombardment of Kyiv
At 2:20 · chapter starts 1:00
Charles Maynes reports from Moscow on a Russian bombardment of Kyiv that Ukrainian authorities are calling one of the largest since the war began more than four years ago, leaving at least one person dead and more than a dozen injured. Russia's Defense Ministry claimed its forces conducted precision strikes on Ukrainian defense and logistics infrastructure in Kyiv and the Odesa region — but the reality on the ground told a different story: Russian missiles hit residential buildings, businesses, and an underground metro passage that Kyiv residents routinely use as a bomb shelter. The attack did not occur in a vacuum. Just the day before, Ukraine launched its own drone strikes against two warehouses belonging to Wildberries — Russia's answer to Amazon — killing 8 workers and injuring dozens more. Ukraine justified the strikes by saying the warehouses stored components for Russian military drones, though NPR noted it could not independently verify that claim. The sequence of escalatory strikes illustrates how the two sides are now deliberately targeting each other's civilian and commercial infrastructure, even as both frame their actions as military necessity.
