Russia spent 12 hours raining missiles on Kyiv apartments
So, while the military analysts are busy explaining how Russia's big spring offensive has basically stalled, Moscow decided to remind everyone of their default strategy: just blowing up civilian apartments.
For twelve straight hours, Russia pelted the Ukrainian capital with waves of ballistic missiles and drones. Naturally, they didn't hit military bases. Instead, they managed to partially collapse a nine-story residential building in the Darnitskyi District and damage over twenty other residential areas.
Ukrainian air defenses did what they could, but some ballistic missiles got through. The aftermath is exactly the kind of nightmare you'd expect: rescue workers pulling families out of the rubble of their own living rooms, while the local mayor has to declare a city-wide day of mourning.
The Kremlin's official line on this is the usual peak gaslighting. They claimed they were targeting defense and energy infrastructure. Right, because nothing screams "military threat" like a multi-story apartment block in a quiet residential district.
President Zelensky had actually warned everyone just hours before that a massive strike was coming, after receiving intelligence from abroad. But when ballistic missiles are involved, warning someone only gives them minutes to run for their lives.
Pretending a pile of civilian rubble is a tactical military win is a special kind of desperate.
