You’ve never seen Kiev like this.
While the Ukraine war is the bloodiest war fought in Europe since WW2, the capital Kiev has still lived a comparatively normal life.
The calls from the most extreme Russian segments to ‘turn Kiev into a parking lot’, ‘raze it to the ground’ etc. have been solemnly ignored by Vladimir Putin and his military commanders.
With last night’s massive Russian airstrikes on the Ukrainian capital, the ‘quality of life’ there may have started to take a change for the worse – but there’s a catch.
CBS called last night’s attack ‘deadly, massive’, while The Telegraph and the New York Times called the ‘largest’, and CNN the ‘biggest’ missile attack of the 5-year war.
It’s estimated that between 40 and 50 ballistic missiles were launched at the city – and so far, the estimates in the western papers say ‘one person is dead’.
This appears to vindicate the Russian claims of only striking military targets (empty at night).
