Russia
seems to have chosen playgrounds in Kharkiv as their legitimate
targets.
Targets for Russian missile strikes are “civilian infrastructure, especially energy generation, transmission, and agricultural production and storage.” They’re striking at 2:00am, specifically to stress out civilians. Tonight was an all-provinces alarm. Russia knows full well that the Republican House majority will be on vacation for another 10 days.
Zelenskyy welcomes a new head of foreign intelligence and has a conversation with Speaker Johnson.
Ukraine figures Russia will launch a major offensive in late May or June.
The
total explosive power of combined air attacks on Ukraine since the
beginning of the year exceeds 9 kilotons. Only 3% of those russian
missiles, drones, and guided bombs hit military targets, while 97%
struck civilian infrastructure.
Germany steps up.
Czech government is looking all over the world for artillery shells and finding lots!
Looking at early US planning on the war, the objective was “to ensure that Ukraine emerged from the war as a democratic, independent, and sovereign state.” Not to win or to even regain all of its territory, mind you, but simply to hold out.
Russian stuff blowing up.
Russia appears to have allowed the attack on the Crocus City Hall to succeed. If they want to have a purge of officers, this makes for a great excuse.
